Books Like Matched Novels & Stories

What other response could she give to a face like that? “Here’s the world book! Let me know if you need anything else!” A thick book appeared in front of them. The cream hardcover shone like the surface of a pearl. The letters and edges appeared as though they were lined with gold foil. It was the most exquisite book she had ever laid eyes on, much less touch. What story could it possibly contain? 'My True Soulmate.’

My fingers traced the weathered pages, their delicate texture speaking of countless hands that had held them before. And I read the first page because the writing on the cover is null. "Mates and Mating" I delved into the words written within, my heart quickened with anticipation. The pages seemed to come alive, happy I found something worth it, and intricacies of mate bonds. I flip each cover inpatient to find the answers I sought.

She licked her lips. "Hmm, who does not know the Alpha of this pack." She said and I looked at her with scrutiny. Really? Who does not? She is fishy. * * This book is weird 😂... I don't even understand what is going on with Connor and Alyssa.

’ Vex sounded frustrated. “What do you know about, about mates?” I hesitated. “Specifically, having more than one?” His eyes widened in surprise. “Not much, it’s a pretty rare phenomenon. But I have read some about it. Hold on.” He shuffled to the living area and I could hear him rummaging through papers and books. “Ah ha! Here it is.” He came back and shoved a dusty book on the table towards me. I sneezed as the dust flew up. Wiping my hand over the cover I read. “Dyad’s from the Night Goddess.” I squished my face, “Dyad?”

“Is that one of your pick-up lines?” “You say as if I tell that to every girl.” Elaine laughed. “You probably do. That’s really corny.” “How dare you. That is an Elly special, I’ll have you know.” She shook her head, walking toward one of the tables in the center of the library. She sat down, plopping the book down in front of her. Liam came to sit next to her, leaning over to scan the title. “Phycology & Biology of Mate Bonds,” he read. “Yikes. This sounds…so interesting.”

Now I’m suddenly part of an Alpha arranged mating meltdown, facing the possibility of being Luna—which, let’s be real, is way above my current pay grade—and maybe… just maybe, got claimed as a mate by the coldest guy I’ve ever met. Good morning to me, huh?

the girl said with a light laugh, seemingly quite pleased. "Uh-huh." Tyler nodded, his expression softening further. The word 'matchmaking' confirmed Zyra's suspicions. Tyler had not only moved on from her, but he was also actively seeking someone else. Her eyes dropped to Tyler's hand, and she noticed the ring was gone. He had removed it.

A whole computer system stood in one corner of the spacious room. From the high ceiling hung an ornate, elegant chandelier. The finely carved chair and table were also made of sturdy oak wood. "Someone definitely loves to read." She murmured and pulled out a book from one of the shelves. Gabriel hurriedly leafed through the pages of one of the history books he had gotten from the pack's library. "Selena.." She tore her eyes away from the book she had been reading and walked to his side. Her eyes landed on the diagram he was pointing at.

The smell of new books has kept enticing a chunk of the population, albeit a smaller percentage, and mostly, people who buy from us are collectors, those who are too rich to spend money on things of the past–and that's what we offer: old, tanning books with worn out spines; a remnant of the past, a time when HarmonyMatch was never a thing. I man the register for a couple of old folks who got a stack of magazines. I smiled as they walked out the store, his hands on her shoulder, both smiling as they talked about their purchase. I thought about how they were Matched, whether they knew each other before the ceremony, if they were childhood sweethearts, or if they were familiar faces you see on

As it was the time of recess, the library was almost empty except for the receptionist. Greeting her with a smile, I made my way to my usual table and took the book out of my bag. The book that I had borrowed from the pack library. The title read 'Tales Of The Mates" and the the book itself contained the real stories of the fated as well as chosen mates of the past Alphas. I had already read more than half of the book and I must admit that it was getting on my nerves now. Out of all the entries I have read so far, most of the happy endings were of the fated mates.
