Haunting Adeline Book 1 Pages Novels & Stories

“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.”

Adeline stirred again, shifting slightly, her brows furrowing as she slowly began to wake. Her breathing was uneven now, her body trembling ever so slightly as her mind finally started catching up to what was happening. Luciano smirked against her skin, his lips trailing lower, grazing the soft curve of her shoulder. His fingers never stopped moving, gliding slowly, teasingly, until— A sharp inhale. Adeline’s eyes fluttered open, still heavy with sleep, dazed and unfocused. She gasped softly, her breath coming in shallow, uneven puffs as she tried to understand what was happening, her body still tingling from the aftershocks of her dreams.

I quickly went about my duties, dusting and tidying, wanting nothing more than to be gone before he returned. I was almost done when the door creaked open behind me. My blood ran cold. Hilton. His eyes, dark and piercing, narrowed on me. A familiar frown contorted his face. My breath caught in my throat. Before I could even think of an escape, his hand shot out, grabbing my arm in a vice-like grip. “Trying to sneak out, are we, Adeline?” His voice was a low growl, laced with venom. “N-no, Alpha, I was just finishing and I…I..”

And strangely, I didn’t feel any attraction towards her. I wasn’t sure if it had faded over time since it was a stupid infatuation or if was it replaced by someone more…important? I walked out of the manor and found the ‘more important.’ Adeline stood before the birds with a bowl of grain in her hand, and she fed them. The birds seemed to be flocking around her as if she was snow white. Her lips moved as she looked at one of them. Was she talking to them? I moved closer to listen in.

Adeline’s POV I woke with my cheek pressed into something cold and wet. For a few seconds, I just lay there, barely awake, listening to the faint sound of water moving somewhere beside me. I slowly opened my eyes and found myself staring at a tangle of reeds. Murky water pooled between them and sunlight was already slipping through the trees above. Where was I?

“I feel that this is it. Whatever it is I am meant to find, I feel that it is here. My father, he said that the island was a big place. I think that what he meant was that the Notre Dame was not the only place on the island to search. That our final clue is beside the Notre Dame.” They walked to the door, preparing to open it, when suddenly, the door opened wide, startling them. Before them stood a tall, strikingly beautiful vampire, wearing a white robe and hood. She pulled it back, revealing light blue eyes and long, brown hair. She looked right at Caitlin and smiled. “Caitlin,” she said. “We have been awaiting you. Welcome.” Caitlin and Caleb exchanged a glance. The woman stepped aside, a

I didn't want to watch that unravel in front my eyes. While I quickly scuttle to my room, I find Ethel in the hallway. "Thank heavens I have found you. I have been looking for you." Ethel mutters gaining my attention. "There is something I think that might help." she pulled me to Evanna's study which was just at the end of the hallway. "Here," Ethel pointed at the covered big book with a golden cover. "Do you think it can help me locate the stone?" I ask anxiously. "I think so. This book has been with Evanna for as long as I know and I think it can help." she pursues her lips.

But he wasn’t. After moments of thick silence, Caitlin couldn’t take it anymore. She had to know. “Is it real?” she asked, cutting right to the chase. After a long silence, Aiden finally turned. And slowly, he nodded. Caitlin couldn’t comprehend what was happening. He was confirming her reality. This book. It was real. Everything was real. “But how is that possible?” Caitlin asked, her voice rising. “It talks about the most fantastical things. Vampires. Mythical swords. Shields. Antidotes. It’s thousands of years old—and it’s all in my handwriting. None of it makes any sense.”

he muttered. “Your book fell. I put it back on the shelf. Go get it and stop bothering me,” he said, closing his eyes. Adeline’s cheeks burned with embarrassment. She fetched her book, sat on the bed, leaned back, and resumed reading. Her eyes grew heavier and heavier. She finally set the book on the bedside table, pulled up the blanket, and closed her eyes. ***

I called but she didn't reply. Frowning, I stood up. Did something happen to her? Oh my God, she slumped? Aiden why are you being dramatic? I just have to check and… Ah, goodness gracious! Holy Moly! I quickly shut the door when Adeline screamed out. She didn't slump or anything, just a naked little girl checking out herself in the mirror! Jesus, I should have knocked. Can I ever get this image off my head? Two round boobs and nipples poking out.
