Haunting Adeline Book 1 นิยาย & เรื่องราว

"Williams tried to politically assassinate me over the appetizer course." "He does that to everyone." "And the terrifying magazine woman looked directly into my soul at one point. I felt her reading my browser history." "Also normal." The elevator arrives with a soft chime, and we step inside together, the doors sliding shut on the muted gold of the hallway. Silence settles between us for a beat, comfortable in a way silence rarely manages to be around me. Adeline shifts her weight against the mirrored wall. "There are only four days left." I look at her. "I understand."

Present day 2 years later, in 2017 Adeline’s POV: I awoke suddenly with a distasteful sensation. The domino effect of first seeing where I am; home? Check. What’s that awful smell; alcohol breath? Check. That toe curing sensation; migraine. Lavishing, amazing, lovely! I would say I would never go within a 5-meter diameter with alcohol but who am I kidding, I’ve said that since freshman year in university.

Ambrosia POV: We have been studying all of this for hours now. Jackson and I took a small break to spend time with our kids and tucked them into bed before we came back and continued everything. The only thing we can't make sense of is what causes the change in the blood. "When is Alley getting here?" I asked, rubbing my eyes. "She will be here soon, her and Stephen are making sure everything is secured." Jackson yawned. "So Lucinda gave me a book, it kind of talks about all of it but it isn't anything good but at least it can be reversed, it just doesn't say how it can be reversed." Pythia said, walking towards us with a small leather book. "What does it say?" I asked. "Well someone has to

Emma let out a defeated sigh but decided to wear it after not finding any other suitable option. As she stretched her hand back to open her zipper, it hit something firm, followed by a waft of warm breath, sensually caressing the nape of her neck. Fear rushed through her veins, rendering her body motionless. He's here! "Husband and wife don't hide from each other," he whispered, his voice growing huskier as their bodies drew dangerously close. She inhaled sharply, and an enticing blend of his luxurious cologne, laced with a subtle note of alcohol, enveloped her senses.

“He’s a scum, Adela. You’d never be happy with him anyway.” Adela gave him a grateful look before continuing. “He wouldn’t let me leave. He tied me down and took the amulet. Then… he pulled out a small book and began reading from it. Chanting something. I didn’t understand the words, but I felt them. They clawed at my mind. The light in the room dimmed, and everything started to blur. I knew something was happening to me, but I couldn’t fight it.” She shook slightly. “It was like my memories were being pulled out of me one by one. I forgot who I was. Why I was there. Everything just… slipped away.”

I could only hope that she would have settled in again by tonight, because otherwise I would be allowed to sleep on the couch one night again - and it was really uncomfortable. Sighing, I leaned back and opened the completely tattered book again, which I actually already knew by heart. But I wanted to repeat as much as possible today so that I could get off to a good start tomorrow. I ran my finger over the familiar table of contents. Foreword, evolution, instinct, social life, physiology, reproduction, ancestry, stem groups and subspecies. How many times had I made this movement with my finger? I couldn't count it anymore, but it was like a little ritual I had to go through before I could s

My eyes opened instantly to see Knox staring at us with a cold look in his eyes. I gasped. “Knox?” THE END * * Watch out for part 2 of this book: Return Of The Hybrid Queen

And now… “Wait.” Adeline’s voice cut through my subconscious, and I find myself peering to the outside world for the first time through her eyes. “What is it?” I asked, observing our surroundings with all my senses. “Something’s wrong.” She muttered, glancing in every direction where we stopped in the middle of the forest. Adeline waited, for a moment, and when we finally heard the sound of rustling leaves and snapping branches, our hackles lifted, eyes on full alert as she lowered her mouth to the ground.

I began to look through the bookshelf some more and came across a book that looked like it did not belong here. Ahah! I opened the book to find, yet again, some blank pages. I surfaced my wolf and extended my claws before I pricked myself and allowed some blood to drop onto the pages. Nothing happened. Damn it. As I was about to shut the book, blood from my mother which got onto my palm when I was lifting her from the wall, accidentally smeared itself on the book. The book glowed again and soon enough I was back in Adelina’s bedroom. Huh.

The lie tasted bitter because the truth was I hadn’t stopped immediately. I had searched for months or maybe a year. But Adeline has disappeared. No address, no workplace and no phone number. It was as if she had vanished from existence. Eventually, I gave up. Life moved on or at least I convinced myself it had. “You’re thinking again,” Mira said. “I have work.” I replied “You always have work.” “And you always talk too much.” I said and she laughed. “Fine. Call me later.” I grabbed my car keys and headed for Hartley Corporation. The drive took twenty minutes, but my mind was elsewhere.
