Shawn asks, picking up the book about vampires and their mates, flicking through the pages. I go to respond to his question about the book he's holding. When his breathing becomes ragged, clutching the book in his grasp, looking at me then back at the pages, before he drops the book on the floor.

She sighed and turned away, letting the conversation die as they pressed onward. They came to a large, circular chamber bathed in a dim, golden light. At the center of the room was a pedestal, and upon it rested an ancient book bound in dark leather, its edges worn with age. The air buzzed with energy, and the moment Aria stepped closer, she felt the pull—a magnetic force that made her stomach twist with unease. Kael whistled low under his breath. “I don’t like this.

The room smelled of old parchment and the faint scent of lavender, as if time itself had paused here. I traced my fingers over the spines of the books, my heart heavy with questions.

I scanned the script, my eyes racing past sketches of broken bonds and twisted souls until I finally found it.

Aria lunges forward but I catch her around the waist, pulling her back against my chest as the ancient pages curl and blacken and turn to ash. "What are you doing?!" She twists in my hold and her nails dig into my forearms. "That was the only book about Celestial Wolves! I needed that!"

Her voice cracks and she's shaking now, not from fear but from fury.

Labeled: "ORIGIN TEXTS—RESTRICTED—AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY—PENALTY: DEATH" Death for reading. That meant something important. Aria broke the glass. Her shadows ignore the magical wards.

She opened it and took out a book with care.It was small, but it was old, its binding bound in black, supple leather, its pages weathered to a golden brown. The cover was adorned with curling, delicate symbols so slender they were nearly invisible until the light hit them just right.
