روايات وقصص ضمن Books A Million Onyx Storm Release Party

The bookstore looked nothing like itself. By noon, the quiet charm of Riverside Books had been overtaken by black posters, soft velvet ropes, and gold-trimmed flyers with the words: “The Black Foundation Gala.” Every surface shined. Lush white orchids spilled from crystal vases. A red carpet covered the entrance. And behind the counter, Lena stood perfectly still—heart pounding as she watched the preparations unfold. He’s really coming. Dominic Black is going to walk through those doors.

We didn’t even know which ocean we were in - the Pacific or the Atlantic. I’d given him all the details I could. But they weren’t very helpful. Palm trees. White sand. Blue lagoon. Mountain. That’s all I had. “That gala,” Storm said, “it might be our chance.” He was referring to the massive annual gala that Demetrius was throwing here, on the island. It was the night he was going to have sex with my wolf. “I’d rather not wait that long,” I told Storm. Storm nodded. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a dark rock. He tossed it into the water.

Sofia asked, linking arms with Elena. “Exhausting,” Elena groaned. “My hand feels broken.” Killian laughed. “That’s the sign of a true scholar.” “Or a true victim,” Elena muttered. James grinned. “Well, then tonight calls for celebration. Club night! Drinks, music, dancing. It’s mandatory. We need to wash the taste of existential dread out of our mouths with overpriced vodka.” “Yes! Absolutely!” Sofia agreed, bouncing on her heels. “The new place downtown, ‘Onyx.’ I heard it’s impossible to get in, but David’s cousin knows the bouncer.”

“I’ve asked him to keep his eyes on her at all times. Let’s hope she doesn’t try to disappear.” Shawn mutters, “But what would be the essence of her running from people who are trying to assist her?” I look at him before turning to face Brandon, who is playing with his water bottle. “We have to stay on top of things four more witnesses to locate. Also, we have a few events lining up that we need to attend together.” I raise an eyebrow and ask, “Which and which?” Brandon adds, “The Onyx Pack Moon Ball is a yearly event, and it’s next week. Then the-”

"Oh, Bryan did mention that you had a few properties littered around here." "Why are you out alone?" Storm kissed her forehead and her eyes fluttered closed as she relished the kiss. "I needed some fresh air, hormones kicked in and I was really mad when you told me you were busy." "I know babe. I'm sorry, I was driving." "It's okay, I'm just happy you're here." She grinned at him. "There's a party at home, we helped Karen plan, she's surprising Raymond. She's pregnant." "Really?" Storm exclaimed in excitement.

“If you’re wondering about why Ms. Storm is here, actually, she’s in trouble.” Killian wasn’t interested. But he found himself listening to Drake’s words. “It seems her company is about to host an event called The Legacy Gala. This hotel must be one of the sponsors, however, it seems like Mr. Jackson has colluded with one lady to give Ms. Storm a hard time.” “So what?” Killian scoffed. “She’s going to fail anyway.” “B-But, Mr. Reid…” Killian threw him a dark look. Any other word Drake wanted to say died in his mouth. He changed the topic immediately.

“What about the Soireé?” “Your co-host is doing some serious damage control, sending people home and promising them an early free copy of his latest book as compensation for the “emotional trauma” of watching your father get arrested.” she does her little, bitter snort-laugh again, “As if any of these rich people read.” Still, it was more than enough, we all knew. Nicco Moretti’s latest book in his legendary “Owl Hunter” series is probably considered more valuable than actual gold right now.

I turned away, feeling the ache rise in my chest and spread into my muscles. “Oh. My. Fucking. Goddess!!!” Maddie screamed, sending me into a shock as the books I held tumbled to the ground. “Madison!” I glared at her, picking the books angrily. “Stop doing that!” “You are not going to believe this!” She sqeaked, shoving the black flyer into my hand. And the first line sent every hair on my back standing. “PARTY AT THE BECKHAM MANSION. NINE PM.” Ace and Jaxon were throwing the party.

I turned toward him. "Alright. So, what’s the heads-up?" I asked as we started walking out of the classroom. I gave a quick glance back toward Jace and saw Miss Becca showing him something from a hardcover book while he sat quietly, arms wrapped around himself. I smiled softly before finally leaving the room. "The fragrances are available for you to check out," Eric said, looking at his notepad. "We’ve got a thousand orders on the waiting list, and the party for the new release is set for March, just as planned."
