Arcturus Books Novels & Stories

Lucas and I ordered takeouts from a local restaurant that was on the table in the kitchen and would later be heated up if either of us got hungry. "No!" Lucas barked. "You're not leaving until you find me something. A diary or a receipt of her last meal or a fucking used condom. Find me something that would lead to her, Arnold." I didn't know who Arnold was but I knew he was in trouble. Lucas has been barking orders in the past 40 minutes to find something in Harriet's apartment. Me? I knew it was hopeless but I didn't want to deflate his hope. A hope I gave him.

Ryan laughed out, Nico shot him a deadly glare, he stopped laughing immediately. "I'm sorry about that... So, who is she? Where is she from? did you have a conversation with her? Was she nice to you?" He bombarded him with questions. "Aurora is the daughter of Alpha Ralph of crescent pack. I felt this sensation when she spoke to us for the first time, then we were alone in the garden where we were so close to each other, I didn't even try to push her away like other ladies. She is special" Nico narrated staring at an empty space in front of him.

Suddenly, a rustling of the bushes, and turning around, Arachne reappeared with a small, leather-bound book clutched in her hand. "This is for you," she said, holding out the book. "It's your history, Derek. Your true history." I took the book under a feeling of trepidation and excitement. What secrets would it hold? And what about learning things about myself? I took the book in my hands with some feelings of trepidation mixed with excitement. As I opened the cover, some musty smell came out, and I began flipping through its pages. The text in it was in some very ancient language that I couldn't recognize, but as soon as I touched its pages, something strange clicked-a sort of buzzing in th

The door creaked open without a knock, and I didn’t need to look up to know who it was. “Hello Don Angelo Armani.” Nico drawled, his tone playful as always, like he had nothing better to do than test my patience. He plopped down in the chair across from me, a teasing grin on his face. “I have a lot to do, Nico,” I replied. “Well I have a report, I think you would agree it’s important…” “So are the reports about the shipments, and our finan—“ “It concerns Aurora…” I looked up at him immediately.

She imagined what it would feel like on the other parts of her body again. "Sil? Sil?" She snapped out of her thoughts though it took a little shake. "Penny for your thoughts". She smiled. "It wasn't something serious. Just random thoughts". "And you don't want to talk about it? Is it about the chimera?" He peered into her eyes. "No, no my love it isn't. I'm fine. What were you saying?" "Master Arcus left me a book, Magix of death and life." Sil looked at him wide eyed. "Isn't that the book about Necromancy?"

The book was normally kept in the room with all the ancient books but on ceremonial days it was kept in the alpha’s safe. He carefully set it on the table. “Come on beautiful,” Arion held out his hand to me. I held his hand as I walked to the book. Carefully, I opened the cover. Without warning, the pages began to flip themselves. I was surprised to realize I wasn’t scared. The pages stopped on what looked like a series of blank pages in the middle of the book. I stared at them, but I saw nothing. Arrow and Arion stood next to me. They gently began rubbing circles on my sore back. Suddenly, the pages began to show words. The words appeared to be glowing. Before long, all the pages that had

“Yes, Chief.” That after, Arth followed Jade up towards the second floor. Getting closer, he could smell the sweet, musky scent of the old books from the library. His entire life he had never been in a place filled with books and extremely tall shelves, as Frostwood had no library, and he hadn’t tried visiting the ones in Casterfall and in the capital. It was only when he entered that Arth came to realize why they had called it Incantatus Bibliotheca … the Enchanted Library. Strange energies lingered in the air that made the place feel so magical.

Aurora decided what to do then, she returned back to her folder and permanently deleted all 247 images with a satisfying click. Her fingers were sweaty even as she turned off the laptop and returned it back into the cabinet. She had to be careful around him now, he was a lot crazier than she'd imagined. With one last dreadful sigh, Aurora slipped out of the room and locked the door. Dinner that night was unusually quiet but maybe it was because her mother was absent which was a first, the woman took her meals like a holy grail. Miriam Rochester would never be caught dead skipping a meal but today, her chair was unoccupied.

I tried to get out but it was too late. “Tiara!!!!” I screamed with my hands stretched as I was sucked into nothingness. “Don’t worry brother we will take care of Tiara.” Aslan’s words lingered as everything went dark. AURORA’S POV I massaged my head as I cracked open my eyes. The light was so bright that I had to shut them again. After blinking several times, I finally managed to open them. I squinted my eyes as I swept my eyes around me. I don’t know what I had expected but it was not this… This was just a plain forest with trees and bushed and animal tracks.
