Hidden Deep: Book Novels & Stories

“And it means we’re not finished.” Axel loomed over her, eyes heavy-lidded with hunger. “Not even close.” Before she could think, the second was tugging her to her feet, guiding her deeper into the shadows of the balcony. A black door marked Private swung open, and she found herself in a hidden lounge, plush velvet couches, mirrored walls, and a low amber glow that made everything seem more decadent. The air itself tasted like sin. Her pulse raced as they closed in around her again. She wanted to speak, to tell them she couldn’t, that she shouldn’t but her body betrayed her, heat coiling low in her belly.

Marcus watched me as if I were a bad joke. "Putting on a show." He sneered. "You think just making a call will" His words died on his lips. Because a loud roar suddenly came from outside the window. Everyone turned their heads, looking out the floor-to-ceiling windows. In the sky, a black private helicopter was slowly descending. On the side of the fuselage, a prominent silver 'V' crest was emblazoned. That was the Vanguard family crest. The entire corridor fell into a deathly silence.

The sounds of a world going about its business. Drex said nothing for long enough that I counted eleven strikes of the practice weapons. "What makes you think—" he started. "Drex." I said it quietly. Not impatiently. Simply as a way of closing the door on the particular response he had been about to give, which we both already knew was not going to be the truth. "I have read the hidden book. I have spoken with Thessaly. I found three references in the ground floor library that between them tell me more than anyone in this palace seems to realize is available to find." I paused. "I am not asking you to confirm things I do not know. I am asking you to tell me the things I cannot find anywhere

Charles says, wrapping his arms around me from behind. My poor heart "Oh no son, I just didn't know that you and Elizabeth were that close" "Let's just say she's that hidden secret I wasn't ready to reveal yet" Now he's insinuating things "Oh I get it now. Congratulations you both!" She says with a beaming smile and walks excitedly, as if she has a dirty secret she cannot wait to share with everyone. "Charles!" "Elizabeth!" "Now you're just creating stories" "I've always wanted to be a writer since I was a kid"

I went in search of another but I ended up having a stack full of books with enticing book covers and submarization that kept me curious and glued to the papers. I walked deeper and deeper till the other end of the library, I gazed up at a wierd looking book on a shelf in the midst of other books, it had a wine book cover but didn't actually seem removable. I grabbed onto the book but it didn't budge, and when I tried harder my fingers ended up sinking into it and I retreated my hand. Just then I realized something, I watched in bewilderment as the shelf suddenly parted, revealing a metal black door. My heart pounded in my chest like a relentless drum as my fingers traced the icy touch of th

Heat crept up my neck. "Boring," Chloe sang out, pouring herself more champagne. "Open it, Maya. Maybe he hid a check in there or something." I felt a strange prickly heat on the back of my neck. Silas hadn't moved. He was watching my hands with dark satisfaction. Like a hunter watching prey step into a trap. "Go on," he urged softly. "Open it." I opened the hardcover. My breath stopped. The pages had been hollowed out. The center of the thick book was cut away to form a hidden compartment, lined in black velvet.

A thick, dust-covered book tumbled to the floor between them with a loud thud. We both froze. The book flipped open on its own-pages fluttering rapidly, as if searching for something-before landing on a page marked with faded blue ink. Ethan knelt beside it, his brow furrowing. “This… isn’t a regular book.” I crouched next to him, squinting at the page. “The first hybrid Alpha, killed before she could rise. Marked by ancient blood. Her secrets buried where only the chosen may find.” A chill crept up to my spine. I opened my mouth, but before I could speak, I mistakenly lost my balance and hit another book on the shelf. It shifted-and with a heavy click, a nearby shelf groaned and slid back,

Actually, it was just a hurdle race that you tried to master in the best possible way and very few were lucky enough to reach the goal in the end. My parents didn't have it. When Cherry uttered a moan and crawled purring out from under the bed, I followed her with my eyes and noticed that Reese was standing in the doorway with his arms crossed, watching me silently. "Have you recently gone under the voyeurs, or why are you standing there and secretly watching me?" "Counter question, why are you hiding here in the bedroom?" Cherry moaned again, then purring around Reese's legs and then strolling out of the bedroom with her tail raised to do her jokes somewhere else.

Alex drove past it and we parked the vehicle a small distance away. Though the outside of the building was ordinary, the inside was more than I ever wanted. There were books everywhere. It was book heaven. Alex was indeed the best person in the world. It was such a pity he wasn't the prince. I would have enjoyed that. We bought more books than I bargained for. It was wonderful. Alex was wonderful. The prince had to suck up and deal with whatever issues he had. Alex was going to train with Guardian Shelliot and me no matter what.

Emily picked up her flashlight which was lying on the floor. Turn it on and aim at that dark hole. But all that could be seen were the stairs leading down. The dim flashlight could not make them know the end of the stairs. Correct! They have discovered a hidden secret in this orphanage. A secret that no one has known for a long time. A dark and secret room underground. "We don't know how deep the theme is," Emily said. Emma stood up and picked up a fairly thick book and dropped it down. "What are you doing?" Emily protested.
