Booktok He Leaned Against The Doorway Mga Nobela at Kwento

The room was massive; floor to ceiling shelves, a fireplace with flames dancing inside. Two leather chairs positioned near the windows. Thousands of books, Some looked ancient and others were new. I picked one at random and it was Pride and Prejudice. I curled up in one of the chairs and opened the book. I'd made it through three chapters when I felt that shift in the air that meant Theo was in the room. He stood in the doorway, his green eyes were fixed on me Just... watching. His sleek black hair was loose around his shoulders and he wore a white shirt, sleeves rolled up.

The stubborn darkness that had pushed back against my healing. A soft creak came from the doorway behind me. My fingers stilled on the page. Panic shot through me. I snapped the book shut and shoved it deep into my tote bag, my heartbeat thundering in my ears. I had barely stepped out from between the shelves when the door swung open. It was the same male healer I had met earlier, the one whose permanent scowl somehow always seemed at odds with the amusement lingering in his eyes. Relief loosened the knot in my chest.

Dante turned slowly. “There.” He walked toward the wall. “Help me move this.” Two men stepped in and shoved the heavy shelf aside. Behind it was a steel door. Locked from the inside. Dante smiled grimly. “Found you.” He stepped back.

The one with the fresh flowers and the book I'd never read. I closed the door. Locked it. Leaned against the wood and slid down until I was sitting on the floor. I was his Doll now. He'd made sure of it. The fuck have I gotten myself into? I pulled my knees to my chest and waited for morning. --- End of Chapter 6

Chapter 19 – Fight and Kill, Antheia Antheia’s POV I just finished the book he gave me when I heard a knock on my door. I looked up since I was seated on the floor and as the door swung open, I saw that it was the Alpha. He walked towards me and he led me to the bed and he sat at the edge of it. I leaned back on the headboard and listened to what he was about to say.

He remained, standing, heels in the aisle. As she noticed earlier, where the shelves in the outer, more public rooms overwhelmed with their size, these did not. The ceiling low, the books sat at eye level, beginning not on the floor, but right below her knees. The sconces at the door not tarnished but burnished bright. The room lit with nothing but their glow. She moved close, scanning the sallow spines, one looking much like the other. Raised a hand.

I whispered, more to convince myself than him. I knelt by the heavy oak door and got to work. The lock was stubborn, and for a moment, panic tightened my chest.
