Burning Of The Books Mga Nobela at Kwento

Lance’s grin widened even more as he leaned closer to my face. “Don’t avoid me too much because in the coming weeks, you’ll be seeing me every day. And every day…I’ll be able to touch you too.” I stiffened. My grip on the book tightened. Fear registered on my face as I instinctively leaned away from him. The things I was hearing were too much for my mind to process. It felt like my knees could give out if I weren’t already sitting. “What the hell are you talking about?” I asked, trying to hide the fear and nervousness in my voice.

He burned it, or at least he thought he had. But the next day, against all reason and logic, the book was there again. It reappeared, untouched, beneath that very same tree. That’s when his desperation turned to madness. He didn’t just want the book gone—he wanted the tree that birthed it destroyed. He summoned flames so fierce they licked the heavens, engulfing the tree in a sea of fire. And yet, when the smoke cleared, the tree stood unharmed. Its bark was blackened but unbroken; the only change inflicted on the book and tree was that they were pure black since then.

Then without warning, the air carries a burnt scent. Smoke stings my eyes instead of warm woodsmoke. Burning paper mixes with something sour - like melted bindings. Light shifts, first amber, then deep crimson, flickering like breathless pulses. A wave rolls across the skin, thin and harsh, nothing gentle about it. Far off, fire hisses like starving teeth while voices yell into the smoke. A hammer hits inside my skull, each blow drilling through the back of my sight. Smoke first. Then flames reached the Royal Archives. Not just any room - the west wing burned. Those old land grant scrolls? Gone. The ones needed for the Rothmere case disappeared in ash.

I threw the Iron-Bound Book into the white flames. The reaction was instantaneous. A pillar of pure, blinding white light erupted from the basin, hitting the violet vortex above. The Grey-Walkers didn't just dissolve; they were incinerated, their parchment bodies turning into white butterflies of ash that filled the air. I felt the "Sight" begin to fade. The silver threads in my mind were snapping one by one as the records of my world's debts were burned into nothingness. The King, released from the Grey-Walkers' hold, stumbled back. "The book... my secret..."

"I told you, it was on the shelf in your study." Alexander's eyes snapped back to mine, "You shouldn't have been able to see it, talk less of touch it." A shiver ran down my spine as Alexander's words echoed in my mind. I stared at the book in my hand. What was so special about this burnt book? Is it more important than the fact that someone or something almost killed me? "Give me the scroll I gave you days ago?”

Now, I have turned those cinders into a blade. Bennett did not lose hope, desperate to hit back after losing everything. "You think you're the winner?" The email attachment showed my face crudely edited onto explicit images, with the backdrop of our family's hotel, sent to every young member of the prominent families.

Slowly, she became upset. "How?" she asked me. "How, if you lit that fire and burned the altar?!" "I didn't light that fire," I said. "Mama, I tried burning the papers, I did. But something stopped me." "Who?" she asked. "I don't know what or who it was. They were in my head, telling me not to burn the parchments. And when I kept trying to light the match underneath them, it threw the match onto the fire and made it burst into flames. It - she - was speaking to me."

Howdy, my faithfuls! I wanted to take this time to apologize to you all for the delay in chapter updates...AGAIN. My editor is working on getting this taken care of as quickly as possible.

Noticing my frown she removes her hand from my arm , I hold in a growl at the sudden empty feeling at the loss of contact . “ Why would someone have to sneak you books ?” . She looks down, dropping my gaze . “ Mrs Lightly wouldn't allow us anything like that . Travis, the elder of her sons, burnt them if they found them .” She says with a shrug , still refusing to look me in the eye .

I thought as my head turned to a small window in the room. I saw smoke. I ran towards it, and there I saw the book being burned in a small fire. I quickly ran outside, but it was too late when I got there. Fire consumed the entire book. Madison had burned the book. I cried. How will I ever learn about my pack and my mom anymore?
