Four Minutes Book Novels & Stories

I knew as soon as she felt it she wouldn't be able to hide it. " No, not yet. Thank the goddess. I have big plans starting tomorrow. Thank you for the plate of ribs. I'm going to make the rounds and get to bed early. I have to be to the airport by 4am. I have a 6am flight. So if I don't see you later, I'll see you in a year." She says to me quickly as she turns and starts walking away. I stand there frozen. Trying to figure out what just happened.

“Zorya, honey. Sweet summer moonbeam. My innocent baby wolf. You’re telling me that you confessed to wanting four massive, possessive, gorgeous, emotionally-damaged Alphas and instead of throwing hands or rejecting you, they said yes?” “…yes.” Vivia sat down on the couch like her legs gave out. “You’re living my dream.” I covered my face with both hands. “Stop.” “No. No, I cannot stop. This is history. This is an academic legend. The girl who seduced four Alphas and lived.” “I didn’t seduce them!” “Zorya.” She raised her brow slowly. Very slowly. “Did you or did you not make out with all four today?” I opened my mouth to deny it. Nothing came out.

"What is four?" "Four is that when this week is over, I do not know what happens next. I do not know if I am coming back to New York. I do not know if I am going to let you in further or shut you out completely. I do not know anything. Last night was not a promise. It was an experiment. Do you understand?" "I understand." "Do you really?"

_*]:min-w-0 gap-3"> The fourth ledger was different from the first three. _*]:min-w-0 gap-3"> Not in construction — it was the same size, the same binding, the same pages. Different in what it was for, which she understood on the first morning she opened it in the twenty-fourth year and sat looking at the first blank page and understood that the first three ledgers had been the building and the fourth ledger was the tending.

Out of place, like it had been dropped there by another world entirely. “This way,” he said, pushing it open. Inside was darkness not threatening, but deep, like the belly of the earth. The moment they stepped through, Evelynn felt the press of silence, like the world outside had been sealed off. Aiden lit a lantern on the wall. The room was simple stone walls, scattered cots, old maps, and faded books on crooked shelves. A fireplace stood unused in the corner. Cass collapsed onto one of the beds, her breaths shallow but slowing.

The door creaked open, and I darted inside, heart slamming against my ribs. I should’ve slammed it shut. I should’ve locked it and pretended I was alone. Instead, I stood there with my hand still on the handle, trembling, chest heaving… and I left the door open. Their shadows filled the frame a heartbeat later. Four of them. Tall, broad, eyes burning gold and silver in the dim light. Wolves in men’s skin. My wolf purred. "Ours." And gods help me, I stepped back in an invitation. They followed me in.

We took our assigned seats, marked with name tags, another impressive detail about Livingstone that I hadn’t expected. As I got settled down, a girl with shoulder-length black hair walked up to me, smiling as she handed me a book. I frowned, trying to figure out if I recognized her. Was she one of Phoenix’s friends? “Thanks for letting me borrow this,” she said. “Sorry it took so long to get it back to you.” “This book…” “The one you gave me to study for the advancement exams. Don’t tell me you forgot?” “Oh, right! Glad I could help,” I said, trying to sound casual.

Lavinia asks. I nod, my eyes glued to the book. "What were you looking at?" I ask, gesturing at the closed cover. Lavinia hesitates, her eyes flickering to the book and then back to me. "It's nothing, dear. Just an old book I found in the forest. It's not important." But I can tell she's lying. There's a strange energy coming from the book, something that makes my skin crawl. I take a step closer, my eyes lingering on the ancient letters adorning the cover.

I think I spent some time reading the book, and I almost forgot I was waiting for Gladimir to return. It was when I got to the second to the last chapter, I remembered that I was waiting for Gladmir. I glanced at my wristwatch, and I was shocked at how fast time had passed. It was about four hours already. ‘I had just spent four hours reading a book’ I frowned. I stared back at the book. When I was done with the book, I glanced at my wristwatch, I had already spent an extra hour. I ran out of patience, I couldn't wait for him any longer.

Apollo said and because of what he said I suddenly felt light in my mood. It only means, if I will give an ordinary blueprint, I will not be chosen. I smiled inwardly. This is easier than I thought. I cannot verbally say that I don't want to do it, but I can just choose not to be chosen. "You said it would be four of us...who's the fourth?" Khleo asked. I don't care who's the fourth person. What I care about right now is to make sure, my design will not be chosen. "You'll meet the fourth person on the third day. For now, just make sure to do your best in this project." Apollo responded to us.
