Books Like Unwind Novels & Stories

JANE's POV I felt a sense of fear; it was fear of the unknown. It washed over me like the waves on the seashore. I sat there, and my body began to unwind. I took another deep breath, and I felt my heart rate slow. I opened my eyes and looked around. I sat back down at the table, savoring the moment of calm that I had experienced. The cafe was quiet, and I could hear the gentle hum of the refrigerator in the background. I took a sip of my coffee, which was still warm. The smell of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, and I felt a sense of contentment wash over me. I closed my eyes and allowed myself to simply be. If I continue to think at this rate, I will develop high blood pressure.

I whisper. This time, the tears don’t feel like weakness. They feel like healing. Like something finally beginning. ************************ Unspoken Desires - Book 3…. Coming Soon

My fingers hovered over the keyboard, nerves tingling. > What mask? I typed. No response. Ten seconds. Twenty. Nothing. My hand trembled as I closed the laptop harder than necessary and shoved it in my bag. I didn’t care that my coffee was still half full. I needed out. --- Back home, I locked the door behind me, triple-checked the windows, and tried to breathe through the tightness in my chest. The living room was silent. Lexi wouldn’t be home for another hour. I curled up on the couch, phone clenched in my hand, willing my pulse to slow down.

When my shift ended, I found myself walking toward the corner table where Kael sat, his laptop closed now, a book in his hands. I stopped short when I saw the cover. ‘Knot We Cannot Untie.’ That was the book he was holding. I can't believe that Kael would be reading one of Linda Lively’s books. “You read… this?” I said, the surprise evidently in my voice. Kael looked up, one brow raised. “Why? You think I only read racing magazines and bank statements?” I gave a small laugh. “Chill bro. It’s just… not what I was expecting ”

I whispered, "It was... It belongs to someone very special, she's— not around right now," "I am sorry... Maybe I shouldn't—" "No, it's ok... Trust me," Slipping the elastic band down my wrist, I gathered my hair in my palms in a low ponytail, wrapping it around a few times to shorten the length. "If you see W.I.K.D" Al began to speak, lowering the hat on my head, tucking under whatever loose ends I missed, "Run." "I am not afraid of the wicked," "Wicked?" "Yea, pick that up from a friend,"

I haven’t had to look at the gun for over a year now, but at times like these, it is needed. I needed to sleep, but I knew that it wouldn’t come that easily. The best thing for me to do was grab a book and read; that always calmed me, and hopefully, it will help me fall asleep without worrying. I chose one of my favourite books, Persuasion by Jane Austin. I have read it a hundred times, but that doesn’t make me love it any less. I pushed all the bad thoughts aside, getting lost in it, and soon I feel myself drifting off, wishing this is nothing but a bad dream.

Entirely my own. Later that night, alone in my apartment, I placed the first copy of Unbound on the shelf beside my journals and stood in front of it for a moment with both hands at my sides. The spine faced out. The title caught the lamplight in the specific way the designer had intended. It felt heavier than the physical object it was, carrying the weight of years and struggle and the long and specific work of reclaiming a life that had been systematically built around someone else's need for control. My phone lit up on the desk. A message from Elias.

Like I am being rewired from the inside out. Liam's arm slides around my shoulders. Pulls me against his side. His scent wraps around me. Steadies me. "Breathe," he murmurs against my hair. I breathe. The light pulses with my breath. In. Out. In. Out. And then I feel it. Deep in my chest. Beneath my heartbeat. Beneath the second pulse. Something stirs. Not waking. Already awake. Waiting. A low hum vibrates through my bones. I do not hear it with my ears. I feel it. Resonant and ancient and so vast it makes my human heartbeat feel like a whisper.

-Your Queen I looked up at him watching him smirk as soon as his phone went off, his wasn't on silent, so the others looked up as well. He didn't say anything to them so they went back to their research. He looked over at me, licking his lips again, then went back to his screens. I sat there, in awe, trying to think of a way to be helpful. I knew Ryan pretty well, but this part of Ryan is even worse than what I remember. He has completely become unhinged. He was already scary enough on a good day, I don't know what he could be capable of now. I sat there looking around the room. There were so many books in this room. "Go ahead darling, look around at the books, what is ours, is now yours." H

Now it was my job to protect all of our kind. VENUS P.O.V... "Now, I know that I can't make you stay, but where's your heart, but where's your heart, but where's your-, and I know there's nothing I can say to change that part, to change that..." My eyes snap open to the alarm on my phone playing my favorite song, Famous Last Words by My Chemical Romance. They have been my favorite band for years. "So many bright lights, they cast a shadow, but can I speak?"
