Novel & Cerita First Alex Cross Novel

At least, I was pretty sure it was misplaced. "You need to move so we can leave," Callie said, pushing forward, trying to make a path for Alessio and I. "I read about you," the girl replied. I nodded absently, not wanting to engage her any longer. I could handle being called a whore. I'd been called worse in my first semester of law school. "I read about how your friend died. A year ago, now, wasn't it?"

As I observed the colorful city of Shanghai passing by, I added, "What about Erica and Alex? How are they doing?" "Erica is seriously involved with helping the wolfless and Onegas," Cross reported. "I think it's her way of distracting herself. Alex is doing an amazing job." "Good," I acknowledged. Cross asked, "Do you want me to scout for Clay?" "No," I responded firmly. "I will set fire to his tail, and that will bring him out of hiding."

He paused for a while and then pointed at my book. "Did you like how the Alpha saved the girl from the monsters?" Alexander questioned. I looked at him, eyes wide. "Have you read this before?" I asked. "Yeah, I have." "I didn't know you were into romance novels." I said with curiosity. "Well, I have many hobbies. He chuckled. It was released in my high school year. I didn't know you like old books." He continued. "Old books are better. They know what pure love is..." I said while smiling. This is the first time someone knew what genre of books I love.

A new city, a high-stakes assignment, and odds that didn’t favor him. He was lost in thought when a voice startled him. “Oh my days, are you the Alexander Cromwell?” a young woman squealed. Alex turned. The girl’s eyes were wide, her phone already half-raised. “Yes, I am,” he said with a faint smile. “Could I please get your autograph and a selfie? I’ve been following your work since you won the Jenson Innovations case! You’re like my personal Harvey Specter. I can’t believe I’m standing next to you.”

She had been told he isn't as friendly as he look. "Yes!" Dinah whisper yell, happy that she finally got a job to do. "Let's do this." Alexa say stretching out her hands for a handshake and Dinah took it. "I will be buying lunch." Dinah wink and Alexa smile gratefully. " I will send you something in your mail soon." She added and Alexa nod before walking away. Dinah sit back as she opened the file. Surprisingly, her first case would be a murder case and she was having this feeling that it might be related to her.

To my surprise, it was a book, unmistakably Alex's. Alex had been incredibly secretive about this particular book for as long as I could remember. He would never allow anyone, not even me, to even glimpse its contents. The decision to open it became a moral quandary, a battle between my curiosity and my respect for his privacy. Nevertheless, I succumbed to my inquisitiveness and gingerly turned the pages. What I discovered inside was a diary. The first page was about me, when we were kids and I saved him from bullying and how he had fell in love with me in that instant and always wanted to be close to me.

As I pocketed some phone numbers, Alex and I were suddenly grabbed and shoved into a vehicle. I immediately looked around to see what was going on. “Geez! You would think that you will at least be gentle if you were going to eventually kill us. I want to die with dignity and respect thank you very much. And what is with all the black. You would think the mafia would have learnt new colors by now.” I heard Alex say out loud. The two men looked at her. One chuckled and the other one growled. Is he a werewolf or something?

“One more time, sweetie.” This time, five more smoking cigarettes greeted her delicate skin. She didn’t stop her scream this time. Sasha Steele, a Slave of the Fire Moon Pack, shrieked in a broken voice—in a voice begging for help. Her shout thundered in the room, sending shivers in the skin of Ansel Steele, son of the late Alpha Ariel, as he barged inside the bedroom, almost wrecking the door into pieces. “Oh hi, Ansel!” Cal faced him with the scorching cigarette on his left. His right hand is still caressing the naked body of Sasha.

Deep down, he knew… he knew it wasn’t. Silver crossed another ally; he was almost there to the castle. So far, he had been lucky; he hadn’t run into anyone else. Just as the thought crossed his mind, he stopped a few feet behind two vampires. They were wearing the same clothes as the last vampire. “I smell food,” one of them said. Both of their head jerked towards him so fast, Silver jumped on his tiptoes. The vampires made a growling sound, releasing their razor-sharp fangs, and dashed towards him like a pair of snakes.

He stared at it for a moment, torn. She was in the shower. She would never know if he just peeked—just to be sure it wasn’t something dangerous. Something traumatic. His fingers moved before his conscience could weigh in. He tore it open. The first page had a single line typed in bold: "The man who murdered Clara Vale’s parents was Richard Banks." The words didn’t register at first. Alex just stood there, blinking, as his brain refused to comprehend what he was reading. But then his eyes dropped lower—to the second page.
