Hold Still Book Novels & Stories

She gasped. “Wait—this isn’t a lineage book,” she said. “It’s... oh goddess, Kayla—look.” I turned toward her. She held up a thick black leather-bound book. Gold lettering had long since faded, but one sentence remained etched across the front: My secret thoughts. I couldn't see the Authors name though. Just the title. “Is that a diary?” I whispered. “Looks like it.” "Belonging to who?" I asked but Ingrid shook her head.

I focus on my breath, my heartbeat—a slow, steady rhythm pulsing through me. The sun against my skin is intoxicating. Almost as good as Aiden’s touch. A large shadow suddenly blocks my sun. I crack one eye open and find Aiden standing in front of me, flanked by Noah, Daniel, and David—who’s awkwardly leaning on crutches. Aiden holds something out. I frown. “What’s this?” “Your book,” he says with a shrug. “Book two. As long as I get the first one back—these losers want to read it.”

I straightened up, taking a deep breath to steady myself before bolting away. As I moved, I could feel his gaze following me, the confusion in his eyes almost visible. --- Later, we gathered in Jade’s house, the tension in the air as heavy as the storm clouds outside. Hennia stood at the center of the room, her hands resting on the *Tome of Deeds*. The ancient book looked like it had been pulled straight from a nightmare, its worn leather cover marked with faint, cryptic symbols.

Their eyes—if they had any left—burned with red flame. But they didn’t move. Not yet. They were waiting for the bond to break. Waiting for the moment the weight of war shattered us from the inside out. I clenched my jaw, refusing to give them anything. Not a flinch. Not a heartbeat of fear. Silas stepped up beside me, blade drawn and glowing faintly with a dark blue rune-fire. His shirt was torn, blood streaked across his temple, but his eyes—gods, his eyes—never wavered.

More people swarmed around, trying to block his way. “Oh my God, that’s the Salvador family heiress! If you want to live, let her go! Otherwise, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life!” However, Sean laughed as if he’d just heard the biggest joke in the world. “Heiress? You’ve got it wrong. She’s my woman! She belongs to me alone!” Ignoring their warnings, he continued walking toward the exit with me slung over his shoulder. I bit down on him with all my might, but he didn’t even flinch. His steps were steady and terrifyingly so.

Do not move, do not react, stay still when he comes towards you. Station Gamma Thorne outside the meeting, blade ready. Nova swallowed. Numb. Behind her Jax stopped breathing. His whole body rejected the instruction. Stay still. While someone tried to kill her. No. He would be in that tent and she would not be. His body was locked in place but every part of him was already at war. There are four books hidden behind a hidden door in the library. When you pry it open, an arrow, poisoned with old black, will fly.

The part that wanted to belong hardened like glass. Either I learned to live with this, or I learned to fight. Either way, nothing about my life at Harrington house would be the same.

Sienna The suffocating silence of the bar seemed to press down on my chest like a physical weight, making it incredibly hard to draw a full breath. I slowly pulled my hand back out of the hidden compartment beneath the dark marble counter, my knuckles scraping lightly against the wood of the interior frame. Wrapped securely in my trembling fingers wasn't a stash of unmarked cash, a black ledger, or a modern weapon. It was just a book. A thick, heavy, dust-jacketed volume that had been tucked away into the hollowed-out space of the bar.

I replied, still keeping my cool. "You don't? Really? Well then child, how do you explain sticking to a man of importance knowing very well that your attachment to him could ruin his entire life? Doesn't that make you shameless, dear?" she said and my stomach churned in discomfort. Sighing, "I apologize Mrs Helton but I don't think getting support from my man is anything to be ashamed of," I told her and she scoffed. "Your man?" she dragged and scoffs.
