I quickly head out to the next shelf. I don’t know how much time has passed, but I feel exhausted. Drake plops into one of the armchairs before the fireplace, yawning. “I covered thirty shelves, and there’s no book on celestial wolves. This is not a library. It's a book town!” He rests his chin on his arm. “It's so huge that I might find aliens hiding somewhere.” “Stop with the excuses. You are just incapable, that’s all,” Dory says while biting her thumbnail, her eyes trained on the book she’s holding.

I swallow the lump in my throat and descend. The air down here is cooler, thicker with the smell of leather and dust and secrets. Torches have guttered out, but faint violet light clings to the edges of things—my new sight, maybe, or the contract’s gift. The shadows dance ahead of me, playful almost, skipping along the shelves until they reach a particular bookcase. One tendril stretches, points. A heavy black tome launches itself from the highest shelf and thumps into my waiting hands. I stagger under the weight. The book is bound in leather so dark it drinks the light; no gold leaf, no embossed sigils, just smooth, inky blackness. The title is etched in silver that seems to shift when I ti

He tells me to take a seat on the little blanket which was on the floor as he looked through the items, I do as I’m told and sit down whilst pulling the blanket which was already around me tighter, now I was away from the fire I was beginning to grow colder. “I have been awaiting your arrival for many months, that is why it was not a surprise when you and your friend appeared.” He tells me still looking for whatever it was he was looking for, before too long he turns around with a huge black book in his hands. “I believe this is what you have been looking for.” He smiles handing me over the book, as I take a look down I see the title The Dark Secrets Of The Realms, this is exactly what I hav

**This page is free, and you should not be paying any coins for this** Lovelies, THESE THREE CHAPTERS ARE AVAILABLE ON THE BOOK BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon. As much as I wanted to put them here, I knew most of you had read the first book, and it would be unfair to let you pay for it again. But I will not put it here for free, as there were violent and steamy scenes there. To relive that moment, please open the book BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon and check out the following chapters:

Ernest said. Don looked up. He turned to a page. He read: "The darkness was not the absence of light. It was the presence of something else. The presence of the stars, the presence of the aurora, the presence of the snow reflecting what little light there was. The darkness held things. The light was what revealed them." He closed the book. "That is the same writer as the essays," Ernest said. "Yes. She has a consistent way of thinking about the dark. Not as lacking. As a presence."

From here, it looked beautiful and orderly. The black lake was like a mirror, reflecting the sky's last grace of the day before it was swallowed by the night. She pressed her palm against the cold glass. The heat radiating from her palms drew a foggy outline of it. Her reflection overlapped with the settlement. Many thoughts occupied her mind. Many, many thoughts. (Author's note: If you feel like this chapter was horrible, forgive me. Am not too well, and I have exams coming up. Don't worry, I will try my best to make this book as enjoyable as possible. By your one and only. Sapphire_Moon.)

The lanterns hovering above cast a dim, amber glow over the obsidian table, but even the light felt restrained here, as if this place refused to fully reveal itself. Dravara stirred beneath my skin in warning. ‘I don't think this book is empty,’ she said, her voice sliding into my thoughts like a blade slipping free of its sheath. I inhaled sharply. “Then why does it look like it is?” ‘I don't know, but it's a hunch.’ She muttered, carefully gazing at the empty pages. I pressed my palm flat against the page, the cold parchment biting into my skin. “So it’s… selective, you're saying?”

I commanded, my voice echoing with a resonance that was not entirely my own. ​The iron bolts groaned, a sound like a giant waking from a long slumber. The door swung open slowly, revealing a chamber filled with a soft, ethereal glow. Thousands of scrolls were tucked into honeycomb shelves that reached into the darkness above, and in the center stood a pedestal made of pure obsidian. On it sat the book, bound in skin that shimmered like a raven’s wing. ​"The Book of Shadows," Lila whispered, her torch flickering as if the room itself were trying to snuff it out. "It actually exists."

Author's Note: February 23, 2023 Hello, lovelies! This is Book 2 of the INTO THE DARKNESS Saga and will feature Lucius and Patrea. If you haven't finished Beneath Her Darkness: The Alpha's Little Demon, I highly suggest you finish it first, as I will not be explaining how they got to this point. I'll pick up where they left off in Book 1 and move forward with only flashbacks to some important details. Otherwise, you may continue reading, and I hope you will enjoy this one as well.
