Hannibal Lecter X Reader Novels & Stories

The letter sat between them on the coffee table like a sleeping snake. Neither of them had moved since Ella had handed it to Xander. He'd read it once, twice, three times—each pass of his eyes over the words seeming to drain more color from his face. His hands trembled slightly, the yellowed paper rustling in his grip. Ella watched him in silence, her own heart pounding, her own mind racing. She'd read the letter too. She knew what it said. But seeing Xander process it—seeing the shock and pain and disbelief flicker across his features—made it feel more real somehow.

My eyes move around based on instinct and as if fate is trying to test me, I see the dragon rider book lying on the floor, along with other books that have fallen with his bookshelf. My body tightens. It’s a pretty black colored large book with gold fonts. I had looked for it the other day but Xaden had come in before I could find it. I promised Liam to steal this for him and in return— he would protect my lie. But funny enough, I don’t have a single urge to reach for the book. My attention returns to Xaden limp body. I lower my upper body to his, placing my ear in front of his heart. I can’t hear a single breath. His chest is not moving.

Images of meeting with Faceless and my mission flashed in my head also as I pulled yelled in rage, pulling the trigger till my gun clicked empty. . . . . TBC ©️Perry Trey (Author Peller) 2021.

He hurried to her side and held her hand to see the damage. There was a deep cut on her finger, and bright red blood bubbled out of it and dripped onto the floor. "What happened?",he asked worriedly. "The book",Layla whispered. "It cut me" "The book?",Xavier asked bewildered. He turned and grabbed the book to scrutinize it. Layla's blood had dropped onto the stone and as he watched, the stone turned crimson red, with her blood trapped inside. "Even a book wants to take a bite out of you Tribrid",Hades suddenly said from the doorway. He had been standing there, observing the situation with his red eyes. There was a look of fury in his eyes, directed at the shadow warrior.

“If you are trying to insult me, I will let you know that my comeback won’t be due until next week since I am currently not in the mood to fight with you.” “I did not come here to argue. I’m sorry.” Xander lets out a sigh and rubs the back of his neck. “Hailey, I know a lot has happened, but when are you going back to school?” “I don’t know. Maybe next week or until I finish the book series that I am reading.” I answer timidly. “How many volumes are there in the book that you are reading?” “Fifteen.” “How many have you read so far?” “Seven.”

NO AUDITORS ALLOWED. Xander leaned heavily against the wooden rail of the ship, his brown eyes reflecting the jagged light of the low-hanging wooden stars. The harsh orange glow that had lived under his skin for nine volumes was gone, leaving only the quiet, permanent gray map of his charcoal heart. He reached down, his calloused fingers brushing a splash of the ink-sea from the hull. It didn't stain his skin; it ran off his knuckles like pure, heavy water, leaving behind a faint scent of cedar and old library shelves.

"I'm done with the letter." Chiara nodded her head and continued working on her laptop. Xavier glanced around the room, not sure of what to do. He had checked the laptop for incriminating information, but all he saw was games and songs, there was no file on the laptop and the browser history was clear, absolutely nothing. He stared at the bookcase in the room, it was filled with different business and marketing books, he wondered if she actually read them. A book caught his eyes and he looked closer at it, it was titled 'Expressions and Emotions: How to understand them'. He read the title on the spine again, to be sure he had not imagined it, it was correct. 'Why would she read something lik

Layla stood unmoving as Scarlet ratted out mean things about her. She could do nothing but sob quietly. There was nothing she could do now, her secret was out. Xander was Nolan's Gamma and there was no way he was going to keep this a secret from his Alpha. He also had a look of doubt in his eyes because, from the way Scarlet spoke, it sounded as if Layla was a loose woman way before she came to New York. "Look Miss, that's enough.." Xander finally butted in as he stood in front of Layla, he had finally had enough.

Elena sat very still. She read it three times to make sure. Then she looked up at Xander across the cellar. He was already watching her face. He could tell something had happened—the way her breath had caught, the way her fingers tightened on the journal. She held it up, the cuff still pressed to the page, the silver light steady now, showing the list clearly. He crossed to her in three long strides and looked at the name. His expression went through three different things in about two seconds—confusion, disbelief, and then something much more complicated. Something that looked a lot like betrayal mixed with reluctant understanding.

She explained. I took a deep breath understanding her worries. “You can read it later. For now, you need to get ready for your training.” “I am not going to read it, you are.” Thalia announced. “Excuse me.” I said not getting her point. “I can never read such a book. I wouldn't even understand anything about it. But I am desperate to make things work with Xander, so I came up with a plan.” “You want me to read the book?” I asked, cutting her short.
