Elana Gilbert Novels & Stories

Then, with grace, the woman in the sexy red dress walked out. When she looked around, she saw that many people were staring at her in awe. Yuriel looked at the company building in front of him where Aleandro Gilren's figure ran a huge business empire. "Aleandro Gilren, let's find out if you're willing to work with Sherly." Yuriel smiled in a bad way. Today, she will make it hard for GN Group and Kindle to work together. She would never help Sherly, the snake woman, or let her husband to sleep with her.

Gilbert's body felt so cold that Kisa flustered after feeling his body temperature. She grabbed Gilbert's hand and said, trembling, "Gilbert, wake up. I found the vines. I'll get you out of here now. You're going to be just fine. Can you open your eyes and look at me? I beg you, Gilbert, please open your eyes."

"You know who she is, don’t you?" Gilberto’s voice seemed to be coming from a long way off, but he didn’t get to finish. The French doors were opening, and Annabella was stepping out. Thankfully though, Elmo was saved from faking casual in front of his sister—as his mobile trilled, he left it to Gilberto to make the small talk and tell her they’d be in soon. It took a moment to tune his brain into the conversation as the clipped voice introduced herself as a saleswoman from a downtown department store.

*** GIA I don't want to sleep but it feels like drowsiness is pulling my eyes. I saw Cleo fell asleep on the next chair and we were still tied together. I'm also getting hungry because the man only gave us water. His companion called him, and I learned that his name is Gilbert. He's young, maybe around the same age as me. I wonder what he's doing here and how he got involved with this group. He comes by every hour to give us water. At least the water is clean and doesn't come from a canal. "Have a drink first." Gilbert looked nervous as he handed me the bottle of water.

His back slammed into the wall, knocking the breath from him, but he forced himself to stand, blood dripping down his side. Nalini was in bad shape. Her tail was severed, and her hide was bruised and chipped all over. The tentacle was closing in on her head, ready to devour. Gildeon lunged, sinking his claws into the tentacle's open mouth. Its teeth dug into his arm, piercing his scales, but he didn’t care. He tore deeper into its flesh, ripping it apart.

Gilbert began, straightening his posture proudly, "this is Lyriel, my girlfriend." Eleanor’s eyes widened in surprise. "Wow, really? She is very pretty." Turning to Lyriel, she smiled warmly. "What’s your name?" "Lyriel Whitmore," Lyriel replied politely with another smile. Eleanor nodded approvingly, while Gilbert looked satisfied as he sat back down, his hand resting lightly on Lyriel’s which she removed instantly. They had a deal of ‘no touching’ until he fully win her heart and he had agreed but she didn't understand why he was suddenly holding her.

Each reference was maddeningly vague, offering tantalizing hints but no concrete information. "Here's something," Aeliana said suddenly. She'd been working through a stack of journals from the 1600s. "This entry is from 1643. It talks about a woman named Elara who came to the pack seeking help. It says she could speak with two voices, that symbols appeared on her skin when she slept, and that she knew things she had no way of knowing." "That sounds exactly like what's happening to you," I said, moving to read over her shoulder.

It had a small tear in the leg that had been clumsily stitched up with mismatched thread. It was garbage. But to me, it was the Holy Grail. It was Elara’s. I had found about Elara that night. That she had a daughter of six years. Even though everything about Alessia felt so real, it didn’t. "How much longer?" I asked, my voice rasping. My throat still throbbed where Galante had choked me. "Ten minutes, Mr. Santiago." Dr. Aris said without looking up. He was a small, nervous man who asked no questions as long as the checks cleared. "We are running a rapid STR analysis on the saliva found on the ear."
