Novel & Cerita Haunting Adeline Book 1 Pages

A moment later, the threat swallowed, she cleared her throat. She crouched on her hands and knees. Bending low, forehead to floor, she gathered her thoughts. Steadied her breath. Around her, Eidolon spun, the roar of an ocean crashing through her ears. She reached, pulling herself forward, her fingers groping the wood. They landed on the book. The open book. The hungry book. It ate her fingers first.

One slip, and the old man would be blinded. “All right!” Aidan cried at last, his voice etched with agony. “I’ll tell you. I’ll tell you.” Kyle let him down. The old man was trembling all over. He wobbled over to his desk and pulled out a leather-bound book. He flung it across the room at Kyle. “It’s in there,” Aidan said, his voice drenched with regret. “That address will lead you to Scarlet Paine.”

Caitlin nearly lunged across the room, grabbing the book and holding it up to the candlelight with shaking hands. Please God, let this be it, she thought. She pulled back the cover and nervously flipped to the title page: De Fascino Libri Tres. Her heart flooded with relief. She could hardly believe it. She had actually found it. Caitlin quickly thumbed through the pages, going as fast as she could to the missing page. Please, please be there. Please be the matching page. She started to worry about what she would do if the matching page weren’t there. Or if this was all a hoax. She was shaking with anticipation as she got closer. 530, 532….

I nearly bit my lip as I snapped out of my head. ‎ Before I could move his eyes met mine. I then managed a smile so he wouldn't suspect anything. ‎"Oh Adeline" I mean is that how you call your wife. It kinda hurt. " This is Mrs Kane our cook and your personal help" he smiled at her and she immediately took my hand in hers and shook it well. ‎"Nice you meet you Adeline" she smiled warmly and It felt kinda good. ‎"You can call me Addy and thank you me too" she smiled and nodded

I just needed to clear my head. Finding a book spine that held enough promise, I pulled it out without hesitation. I did the same for two other books, hoping that my lucky draws were enough to rid myself of the negative thoughts that circled my brain. I turned back to the distance to find that Adian was also focused on the bookshelf, a heavy mass of books in his arm. How he carried all of them at once was only defined with reminding myself that he was a werewolf. I moved through the shelves to my familiar couch. For a short moment, my eyes wandered to the desk where Rael would work whilst I read in silence. He wasn't there and the desk was empty, yet something in me lurched at the sight.

"It would’ve been a double kill." As Adeline continued to run, she eventually reached the end of the passageway where a heavy wooden door blocked her path. She pushed it open and stepped into the night outside of the Crimson Pack’s walls, where a small forest stretched ahead Adeline paused for a moment to catch her breath, not paying attention to the wound yet. She knew she had to keep moving. With one last look back towards the wall that surrounded the pack house, Adeline turned and ran into the forest.

“Do you see a blue car parked by the side of the street? There is a key in the ignition, start driving, leave the phone on. If you hang up or put me on hold, the deal is off!” “Okay.” “Drive to the beach.” Adele drove carefully. It was evening time and the traffic was a little heavy. She could see Chris, Dan, and Rachel were trying to call her, but she had been told not to hand up so she ignored them. “I am at the beach,” she told Tina. “Good. Start walking towards the cliff. Just before you reach it turn left.” “Okay.” She did as she was told. The more she walked, the less she saw anyone, until she was completely alone.

It caressed my skin like invisible hands — sliding over my breasts, down my stomach, teasing between my thighs without ever quite touching. My breath hitched. A soft, masculine chuckle seemed to echo in my mind, low and ancient and pleased. I should have closed the book. Instead, I sank into my chair, legs parting slightly of their own accord, and began to read. The god’s name pulsed on the page like a heartbeat. Tah. And somewhere in the shadows of my quiet apartment, something very old… stirred.

she asked, trying to keep her composure, glancing back at Adam, who had grown quiet, sensing the tension. Adeline stood in the doorway, watching as Zarek’s silhouette receded into the distance. Her heart raced with uncertainty. She turned back to Adam, who was still perched on the edge of the couch, curiosity etched on his face. Just then, Zarek’s footsteps returned, and the door swung open again. Adeline barely had time to react before he stepped inside, his presence filling the room with an unsettling air. The moment he caught sight of Adam, a predatory gleam flickered in his eyes, transforming his charming demeanor into something far more sinister.

Riven spoke, his voice too husky for the ears. I couldn’t look away. Not when he kept pressing forward. Kept pressing into me. I tried to flatten my hands on his chest, tried to create some fucking space. That was impossible. This deaf bastard had sunk so deep into me I felt— “You’re trying to drive me insane, Adelina.” His utterance stopped me from glancing down. Our eyes met, and unlike my dazed, droopy ones, his were steady. Even when he leaned in, peppered my collarbones with kisses, his gaze remained steady.
