“Quiet doesn’t mean unbothered. Just good at hiding it.” We fell into silence. The only sound was distant thunder rumbling above ground. I wondered how long we’d be down here. Minutes stretched. My mind wandered to how close he was. How alone we were. “Tell me something,” I said finally. “Why’d you become a librarian? You don’t seem like the type who likes being stuck behind a desk all day.” Mr. Kane exhaled softly. “Books don’t talk back. They don’t expect small talk. I like the order. And the stories. What about you? History major with a focus on obscure trade? That’s not common.”

' I didn't think that the book would be hated to the point that even the publishing company went down as well. "What was that book about anyway? Why was it hated to the point that not a single article is written about it?" I asked. Most books that are blacklisted normally contained gore and other unacceptable things that's frowned upon by society. The old guy turned his head around looking for other people and leaned in a little closer. I leaned in my ear and listened properly. "It contained the dark side of City A's high society. Child trafficking, illegal weaponry, and even drugs." My eyes went round when I heard what the old guy said.

King Ayden answered her and said to her: Yes, you can read whatever you want, there is no problem, but you should know that not all books will be available to you. sera understood that he was talking about the magic barrier on some books, which includes the one you definitely want. But she pretended not to understand and said asking: What do you mean that not all will be available to me? I didn't understand what you mean? Are there some books I'm forbidden to read Is that what you mean or what? Ayden answered her and said: I mean that some books will refuse to be opened for you to read. sera didn't really understand this time what he meant, so she asked: The book won't open, how does this th

She looked down guilty and I dismissed her from my site. I closed my eyes, the itching spreading like wildfire, my mind echoing with the book's silent laughter. I sat frozen long after my father had left the room. The Alpha's words lingered in the air like smoke that refused to dissipate. A forbidden book. Do not touch it. It will consume you.

I swallowed the tablets with trembling hands, the water tasting strangely metallic. When we returned to the living room, she hesitated. “There’s more.” Of course there was. She spoke carefully. “Your first book… has been removed from stores.” I blinked. “Come again?” “Retailers have pulled it from their shelves. Physical copies and online listings. They said they cannot be associated with the current controversy.” My chest tightened sharply. That book had been my beginning. My voice. My proof that I existed beyond noise. I imagined empty shelves where my words once stood.

“It would be a disaster. A lot of people are gonna die.” “That would be impossible for them to do while we have the book.” I looked at Zarah. “We need to destroy it.” “Not until I will get the spells in my head.” All wide eyes were pinned on Zarah. Amelia didn’t look like she was on board with the plan. “Didn’t we all talk about how dangerous that book is, Zarah? That book is a temptation from hell, and no one should have access to that kind of power. It always lures you to use it for something evil. It can drive someone crazy.”

Alicia screamed with a sigh. "You do know you are not permitted to read that book in your hands right?" Bryan asked. "It is forbidden in the palace for a witch to read the spell book." "I… I didn't know about that, I was just so bored and decided to read a book. I came into the Library, and that was the first book that caught my attention when I came here. I didn't know it was forbidden to read it, I meant no harm whatsoever," Alicia said with her face to the ground.

My fingers hovered over spines until I found what I wanted: a thick book bound in dark leather, the title stamped in faded gold. WOLF TRADITIONS & BONDS: A GUIDE FOR COUNCIL AND HOUSEHOLDS I lifted it off the shelf and stared at it for a full five seconds, because no part of me enjoyed the fact that this existed like it was a homeowner’s association handbook. I set it on the table and opened it. The first page had a handwritten warning in neat block script: THIS TEXT IS FOR PACK USE. DO NOT REMOVE FROM LIBRARY. Beneath it, someone had scribbled, smaller:

The Myth of Alpha's Rejection"? I really need the book right now. It's urgent." It appeared as though the woman had recalled the book, as her expression of confusion began to fade, and she responded, "I told you many years ago that the students were not permitted to read those books. It's just the library is really big and protected; that's why the ancient books are here." "I swear I will not want to borrow that book. I will read it here for a few minutes," Ava replied. She had the idea of quickly taking photos of the pages so she could read them later.

Jake stopped, getting back to his matter, “never mind. I wanted to show you this...” He slid out the book and placed it at the large table which was furthest in that part of the library. “Great, you joined a cult!” Matt scoffed. “What is it?” Gabriel asked, observing the strange symbol on it. “Well, I don't know, yet.” “What do you mean, you don't know?” came Gabriel, “I think a book’s supposed to be opened to know what it is...” “Ok,this is going to sound insane but when I opened it, fire came out of it, literally!”
