Taine and I walked up an old staircase to the attic and he warned me of the broken planks I nearly stepped on. “Sorry, it’s a bit dusty up here.” He said full of sympathy as he dusted off one of the boxes. “A bit?” I laughed as I took in my surroundings. The attic had a small window which light shone through and landed on a pile of old photo frames. I picked one up and saw a black and white photo of the Orphanage in 1994 which made it 23 years old. I recognized a younger version of Anne holding a young boy and my aunt in the photograph.

Rune muttered as he swung the door open. “So are we going to talk about how Akira is delusional?” They both turned to look at each other, Akira and rune, at least this proves their point. “Let's get out of here…” Orion urged, “I never believed that I would advise anyone to stay away from books in my entire lifetime.” “Good, you tell her Orion, it's all these books, they are causing her to point fingers at everyone she sees.” “Rune!” Akira yelled, “do not be like that!”

Alex and Xander were in their cot in the centre of the room. "Bring forth your hands," I said to Orion. Orion gives me his hands. I prick his index finger, allowing for blood to pool at the tip. We inverted his finger to allow the blood to drip on the page of the book. It says if the blood disappears from the page of the book, it means the curse was broken. The blood dripped on the page, we waited but nothing happened…

"It's ordinary." "That's the same thing." --- The seventh book was different. Not a memoir — a children's book. About a garden, about a fig tree, about the dogs buried under its branches and the women who loved them. Beatriz's successor, Eva, was hesitant at first. "A children's book?" she said. "A book for everyone." --- I wrote about Orwell, the scruffy survivor. Pippin, the disaster with mismatched ears. Fig, the puppy who arrived in a crate. Oak, the quiet one, the watcher. And the women who buried them, who marked the stones, who never forgot.

And when I'm home, I spend the rest of my time in the library, buried in books. Not the romantic kind. The serious kind. Books on wolves, curses, bloodlines, magic, and ancient healers. Books that talk about pain and the strange ways it affects werewolves. Because Caspian's pain wasn’t ordinary. And even though he never talks about it, I can see it in his eyes. I can feel it in the way his body stiffens when the full moon approaches.

The scent of tobacco and rain filled her nostrils, registering a name at the back of her head. Xandros. She gulped.

A book was opened before him and she could see the title atop on of the pages. Tales of the dark. It was a book for Lycans. She could make that out, not that she would understand a shit about it. What she knew about them were the stories told. Nothing more.

Lira My heart was pounding but I kept my voice steady. "I'm from Blackwood. I grew up in an orphanage there. And yes, I don't have formal records, but that's not unusual for orphans in Blackwood." "How convenient," Zuri said. "It's not convenient, it's common." I reached the bottom of the stairs and forced myself to look directly at her. "Blackwood has dozens of illegal orphanages. Small operations that take in children born to rogues or wolves who died without packs.
