Hobbit Bain Novels & Stories

And he would not go down so easily. “Pleased to meet you, Julia,” he’d said, before turning away to other business. He’d barely even acknowledged my presence before turning to his father to discuss some other pack they’d been dealing with. I was an afterthought, a passing breeze, something beneath his notice. “And this is my little sister, Miriam.” Gabe brought my attention to a mousy, lanky girl, with a shiny black French braid that fell to her lower back, and appeared more over-grown ten-year-old than the fifteen years old Gabe had told me she was.

He went through them one by one, apologizing every time. Late into the night, Calvin was finally done. I came across his birthday post—the one that showed him cheating. There he was, dressed like a college guy in cheap clothes, with a cheap watch, kissing a pretty girl. I had hit like on the post from a different account and left a comment. [Perfect for each other.] Then, I asked Calvin, "Why didn't I know how much you like bargains?" Calvin was too scared to say anything. I smiled sadly. "You're such a good actor, so patient. Now I can't tell if you really want us back together or are just putting up with me for the company."

Noah turns and looks at Lexon's unimpressed expression. "Come on, you know, the one dude in The Hobbit? I can't remember if that was your cousin. Or your brother?... Damn, all we need now is Gandalf and we're all set! Ha!" Noah said, loud enough for everyone to hear them in the main entrance, and all the rooms surrounding it. He had a bright, excited expression on his face as he turned and looked at everyone. Lexon groaned while the other vampires looked at Noah as if he lost his mind.

She stared at me before answering "None of your business! If you don't want to leave, I will leave. Lock my door and don't steal anything here!" She threatened me again. "I only want to steal your heart," I said and raised my eyebrows up and down. "Seriously? Your words make me want to vomit. You're the worst!" She sarcastically said and left her unit first. I just follow her until we get inside the elevator. No one dares to speak between us because we have an old hag with us. The worst part is that the old hag is my neighbor, who hates me so much.

His voice was like scraping knives Disregarding the skin desperately in need of moisturizer, I instantly hated Dumah. “He isn't Miss Manners either,” I scoffed. “So what are you? A Nazgul? Is Samael Sauron and I some wayward hobbit?” Dumah wheezed with laughter. “ITS BRAINS ARE ADDLED, I SEE. KNOCK IT ABOUT ONE TOO MANY TIMES ON THE DEATHBED, ROT LORD?”

"Wouldn't being our leader be helpful? Not that Liam is doing a bad job, but he's an orc. He doesn't have any power. It will be too easy to lose his position." "Oh..." I was finally starting to see how it all worked. I needed to be in charge because, apparently, I had more power than anyone else here. I looked around the bar. "What can you do?" She gave me a quizzical look. "You look human, but you are part something else. What is it?" "Oh, I'm a hobgoblin." I frowned. "I can run really fast." "Oh. Cool." She smiled then stared at me expectantly. "Oh, right." I tightened my fingers around her hand. "Here you go."

He nodded eagerly and said, "Yeah, I just don't think about getting it that often." We settled into a quiet corner. I watched as several people sitting at tables around us got up and left immediately. "So why Khaos?" I asked as I watched him devour the plate of sushi. He obviously did like it and wasn't just trying to show off or impress me. He smiled and sat back in his seat with a sushi roll gripped between the chopsticks in midair like it was easy. "Well... I guess with a last name like Bane, Mom had to get a little creative with my first name. Plus, I often live up to it, so maybe she was onto something."

"You need to eat Heaven." I'm not entirely hungry but I don't want to antagonize my father, he's still reeling from yesterday's incident. So to put him at ease I decide to eat the greek yogurt that Alice loves so much, well I love it as well. Eating is a distraction but I can't help but pick up on the tension between us. Maybe it's the silence but I know it's more than that especially now that my ability to read minds has me in my father's head.

Rebecca “Is there really any point?” Rebecca huffed as her best friend Trisha stared her down from across the small table. Rebecca glanced around the bar, which was filled with people and buzzing with excitement. “You’re not going to be a killjoy tonight. We’re going out this weekend if it kills us. I’m stuck at home with four kids all day, not living the glamorous life of an entrepreneur.” “I’m not sure who sold you that lie, but I’ve got some oceanfront property in Arizona …” Rebecca smiled.

Bain didn’t smile, but his hand never left Cassie’s shoulder. And then—his phone buzzed. A single encrypted message. She’s coming. Bain’s expression shifted instantly. Cold. Still. Dangerous. Cassie noticed immediately. “What is it?” He didn’t answer. Just kissed the top of her head and handed the baby gently to Luca. “I need to make some calls.” Cassie stood too. “Bain—what’s wrong?” He looked back once, his jaw tight. “An old ghost.” And just like that, the storm returned,
