We dove into the shelves, pulling out books about werewolves, local legends, and anything remotely connected to monsters. The hours ticked by, and the pile of books around us grew taller, but our frustration mounted. “Nothing,” Fatima muttered, slamming a book shut. “There’s nothing about deformed humans or monsters.

He would burn the world before letting her go. But would she let him? That night, Aria found herself restless again. She wandered the halls until she stumbled into the library, its shelves towering high, filled with centuries of forgotten lore. She trailed her fingers along the spines of old tomes until a worn, leather-bound book caught her eye. It practically hummed beneath her touch. Opening it, she found passages about revenants, about ancient blood magic that twisted wolves into something monstrous. But what struck her most were the warnings—about how such magic was always tied to bonds, to love, to power greater than flesh.

I had a cart to put all the books I'm picking, and I'm almost there to the second tower I'm making. There were a few people in the place who are mostly Elders of the pack. I chose a table, and started opening the pages one by one. I checked all the information on the forbidden pages. I scanned everything on the vampire, magic, darkness, curse... EVERYTHING!!! But it felt like I have only wasted three hours of my life here. "Damn it..." I hissed quietly after closing the last page of the last book I have picked on the shelves.

“Night.” I went upstairs and closed the guest room door quietly. I sat on the bed in the dark, listening to the house. After a while I heard the screen door open and close again as he came inside. His footsteps moved through the kitchen, then up the stairs, past my door, down the hall to the master bedroom. The house settled into silence. I lay back on the bed and stared at the ceiling, heart still beating too fast, the image of him on the porch in the dark stuck behind my eyes. I knew I wasn’t going to sleep anytime soon. And somewhere down the hall, I was pretty sure he wasn’t either.

The book was heavier than the black tome from her father’s library, its cover bound in something that looked like polished shadow-leather, warm to the touch. She opened it carefully.

Raven’s breath caught. She looked up at Victoria. Victoria read the title over her shoulder, then met Raven’s gaze. She squeezed Raven’s hand once—firm, reassuring—and nodded.

And of course, endless spell books. He's even included mysteries and psychological thrillers by my favorite authors, a kind afterthought. But there’s more: living grimoires, erotica by demons that may well be written by Cenobites, and people’s wickedest sins recorded like the Screwtape Letters littering the place galore. There are the life records and deeds of every Damned in Hell, recorded in lurid detail by Penemue, the fallen angel of writing. He notices me look longingly at the books. “Shall we read?” he asks. “We can devour books on a blanket, out under the stars.”
