Novel & Cerita Claimed Book

Make him pay. Not yet. “Actually,” Rhea says quietly. “I never said I didn’t have a wolf.” The entire arena goes silent. Beta Jack blinks. “What?” “I never said I didn’t have a wolf.” Rhea’s voice is steady. Clear. “Everyone assumed. But I never said it.” Oh. Oh. Understanding crashes over me like a wave. She has a wolf. She’s always had a wolf. She just hid it. King roars with triumph. KNEW IT. KNEW SHE WAS STRONG.

I planted my feet on the mattress and thrust up into her watching her eyes flutter shut and her anger fracture into pleasure. “Fuck…Diego…” I reached over to the nightstand drawer and the black-bound handbook and held it between us. She blinked down at it, confused, hips still rocking instinctively against mine. “That’s the past question for the Éclat Couture Scholarship exam,” I told her. “I got it from Vice-Chancellor Wills this afternoon” Her breath hitched not just from the way I was moving inside her.

I liked the smell of books. I returned the book I wanted to return to the librarian. When I turned to leave, my eyes fell on a person who was reading a book calmly at the corner table. "Trevor," I murmured under my breath. His full focus was on the book as if he were reading for something very interesting. The librarian noticed me and glanced at Trevor. She observed him while saying, "He is after ancient books. Today he grabbed "Metal of Fate." I turned to her. "Metal of fate? What is it?"

“Tell me, how did you get to know that symbol?” My voice is hoarse with rage, and Dawn knows. She jerks. “What’s the problem, Dima?” “Answer me?” I demand, holding her gaze. “I saw it in a book some time ago.” She admits. How can it be a book? No! It should have been on someone’s body and I swear I'll leave my horny ass and leave here to find that person and when I do, I’ll kill them. “Just a book?” “Yes, I swear…”

Surely there couldn't be two books with the exact same title. How many times she'd been told that the legendary book had disappeared some generations back. That book - or the book, as they always emphasized it - was rumored to hold all the details of their pack history, all the genealogy charts of the genealogy and history of her pack. She was well aware it had been lost for years until hints of its reappearance popped up. It was all too much of a coincidence - the mention of this town, Calderwood, and the presence of the author of Wolf in that place, were like beacons leading her on her search. Not to mention the reference to the book.

It was a dangerous move but yet, the adrenaline in me was strong. That was when I found them. Folded notes tucked beneath folders labeled with fake business names. The handwriting was hers, flowing, urgent, smeared in places like she’d been writing too fast. I didn’t understand what they meant back then, not really. But a few words stood out, scattered across pages like breadcrumbs I wasn’t smart enough to follow. “Shipments coming from the North. Code EM. And a club in New York named Voyage.” Even at that age, I knew something didn’t feel right. Why would my mother be writing like this if they say she is dead? And why hide it?

he called back, his voice warm as sunlight. The sound of the door clicking shut was the last thing I heard before sleep reclaimed me, pulling me back into its embrace. *** I found myself rummaging through a stack of books that likely belonged to Jacob from his university years. None of them were fiction. These were all about life lessons and self-improvement. Titles like Rich Mindset and Atomic Habits caught my eye, their well-worn spines suggesting they had been thoroughly read. But one title stood out above the rest, stopping me cold:

She raised her hand and with her index finger she brushed the books, reading their titles. There were some that said "satanic pacts" others like "the call of the devil" "the forest and its hidden side" "small town legends" "werewolves and the full moon" and the last one said "Wisconsin Cases". Camila took out that last one, the book was big, it had a red cover with the image of the town itself. But that image was in black and white, as if it was taken years ago.

“Mondrian’s bond with you strengthens all of us.” I didn’t believe him. His tone was too odd—desperate even. But before I could press him further, his expression shifted. “Found something,” he said, holding up a thick, leather-bound book. Immediately my suspicions were thrown out the window as I dived for the book, excitement fueling my being as it read: History of Blessed Wolves—white and Black.

"Larry, I have days off too. I'm, um, off-duty." "It's just a coffee." I hold up palms. "I promise you my intentions are strictly honourable." Her mouth quirks. "In that case, yes, thank you. I'd love a coffee." She turns to the counter. "I'll take this as well please, Cliff." A gnome of a man wraps the book in a creased brown-paper bag. I squint a look at the title. Nothing to Declare: Memoirs of a Woman Traveling Alone.
