Cassandra Calin: Books Novels & Stories

I demand. This woman is the first to ever deny me, and it both frustrates me and excites me. Cassie Stone, you truly are one of a kind.

"Where did those books go?" Caraline checked the contents of the bag again. She even pulled everything out onto the sheets. However, she could not find the three books at all. "Where are they?" Caraline quickly scanned the surroundings. Her gaze stopped on a cabinet not far from the dressing table. She hurriedly opened it, pulling out a box from inside. She crouched down with her hands immediately sweeping the entire box. However, there were only envelopes containing photos and also three layers of clothes wrapped in plastic. The three books were nowhere to be found.

Instead, he replied with actual books I’ve read before in my first life that he firmly hated. “‘Darkness Within’ is my first recommendation. Absolutely amazing. ‘Death, are you real?’ is also good, as well as ‘The Next Morning’. Those three are my best picks.” I blinked several times, visibly surprised. Earlier events completely shoved to the side as this new discovery of Cassius Silverton reading thriller books had me utterly nonplussed.

“My beloved wife wasn’t the best student either. She had bad grades throughout college, but she excelled in literature and became a novelist.” Cassandra’s eyes flicked up to the older man, wondering why he was so accepting. “Could you lend me some of her books?” she asked, her voice quiet but steady. She discreetly wiped at the tears, threatening to fall, hoping no one noticed.

Vera also stressed that the library in Ameran could have answers for them and that they needed to find a way to get in there. Queen Hyacinth could feel her hairs stand as the girl with the blue eyes continued walking into the room. Remembering what Calypso had told them, Zen, Nathan, and Frazier all kept their eyes on her, and they could see it. Calypso’s very existence bothered Queen Hyacinth. There was something about her that had the woman rattled, and they were more than curious to see what would happen next. “Why do you want to go?” “Because I can also read,” Calypso sassed.

I sighed, raised a brow, “And that is? Also, just tell me everything you want to at once, no need to break it down into small bits like this.” “There’s a way Cassandra has kept such a tight grip on the clan. It's an object. A book rather and she's protecting it.” My fingers tightened around my cup, “What does she have? Yasmin swallowed. “A ledger. A record of every deal, every betrayal, every secret the Capriennes have ever buried. It’s hidden somewhere only she knows. If we find it… we destroy her.” My lips parted in a slow grin, “Now that’s interesting.”

One entire wall was fully occupied with a massive bookcase filled with academic tomes, with titles such as Advanced Calculus, and Partial Differential Equations - A Practical Application. There was one very special volume entitled Differential Calculus and the Search for Intelligent Life. The author was one Dr. Anna Grant. My mother. My lover. The sexiest woman in my universe. I knew that crammed inside the bank of five-drawer filing cabinets were research papers, exam sheets, notes, and files. But one cabinet, securely locked at all times and to which I have a key, was filled with stunningly sexy skirts and blouses, shoes, lingerie, and of course scores of nylons of all makes, styles, sheen

“Then let’s get to it. But I have conditions, Ethan. Non-negotiable ones.” He raised an eyebrow, his smirk widening. “Of course you do. Let’s go to the library, Fireball. My lawyers are already on standby.” It was the early hours of the morning, tiny rays of the the morning sunlight casting golden hues on Cassandra's studio apartment. The air felt different, heavy. A suitcase lay open on Cassandra's floral bedspread, and Cassandra was frantically shoving sweaters, pants and dresses into it. Her friend Nicole sat on the edge of the mattress, a taunting grin playing on her face. “And I guess that's what you get for living under a rock, my dear friend. How do you live in California and not know

It made her think of Aiden; he’d love to get his hands on a place like this. But Caitlin could not bask in the moment. Images of Caleb struggling with the Immortalists as they’d burst into her grandmother’s attic kept surfacing in her mind. She had to find a cure for Scarlet, and find it fast; it was the reason she’d been transported to the lost vampire city beneath the Sphinx in the first place. Something told her the cure would be within the walls of this ancient and forgotten library. Caitlin looked at the marble shelves, stacked with books. If the cure was in one of these books she would surely die of old age before she found it. Unless…

“No, I never said it was a—” “The chosen one possesses all the four basic elements in nature... along with some other special powers,” Calvin lectured. “We'll start with the basics. Ready?” “Well yes, but I have a questi—” “We'll start with fire” Calvin cut her off again. Cassandra sighed in defeat and nodded. “Get angry,” he said curtly. Cassandra gave him a confused look and chuckled. “What?” she asked. “Get angry” Calvin repeated. “Just like that? I can't just get ang—”
