Im Cold Book Novels & Stories

" I quietly pulled out my phone and messaged our competition: [You can start your game launch now.] In the next instant, Jessica, who had been detailing the tough journey of the game’s development, and Wayne both turned pale.

He reached into his backpack with a conspiratorial grin and pressed a freezing cold, condensation-covered can into my hands. "For you! Ice-cold sparkling water. Found it hidden in the back of the freezer downstairs." He winked. "Drink up. It will help with the heat." In a 140-degree wasteland, a cold soda was worth more than gold. "This is too generous. Thank you." "Don't mention it, Eliza." Just as I was about to pop the tab, a violent, terrifying chill shot up my spine, making the hairs on my arms stand up. I whipped my head around.

He held *him*. They stayed locked together for a long time. The frantic energy of the office outside Noah’s door faded into a distant hum. The vile image on the computer screen blurred into insignificance. There was only the solid reality of Elias’s embrace, the steady beat of his heart against Noah’s ear, the warmth that seeped through the cotton shirt, slowly thawing the icy dread. Gradually, the storm within Noah began to slow. The sobs subsided into shaky breaths, then into a fragile, exhausted calm. He could breathe again, the air filling lungs that had felt crushed moments before.

I had gotten to the second shelf before I realized that the book was arranged according to how old it was. There was a lot of old editions, and while scanning the books my fingers came across a very large book titled ' Origin of Lycanthropes'. Since no one is going to create time to tell me about my wolf, I might as well find out about it myself. I pulled it out of its place and sat on the couch close to the fireplace. There wasn't any wood in the fireplace which explains why the place is cold, it hasn't been used for a while. The only reason for its coziness is the smell of books and the softness of the couch. I laid on it as I flipped through the book and began to read.

“Misha, you my dear, want the steak fajita nachos rare with a frozen blue raspberry margarita.” “Oh, shit!” Ana exclaims. Misha blushes slightly, “You're right I do. But do you know why I want something frozen when it's twenty-five degrees Fahrenheit outside?” Oh, I will take this challenge! “Because when it's this cold out most people crave something warm to heat their insides. But you need something cold because your insides are already blazing,” I responded smirking, relishing my demonic nature. Ana gasps, “Oh my god!”

I made my way to the middle. I could hear the frost crunching beneath my boots. It was still dark-sky cold enough for the air to bite and for one to see one's breath — it was then so cold one did not want to wake up but rather look forward to staying numb. The northern sky was changing from a dark blue to the first hint of grey at the eastern horizon, the light arriving in the distinctly slow manner common to winter mornings in the north. Rokan came in from the west side.

Most of the books were more ledgers than anything, records of the pack’s history, but there was small section of classic books, some of which appeared to be first editions. Feeling a little excited over the prospect I searched the title, looking at the familiar names, the literary classics, before stopping on a title I had never heard of by an author I didn’t know. I was a big reader I always had been, so it was rare for me to come across an old book that held no recognition whatsoever. With a careful touch I pulled the leather-bound book from the shelf and read through the blurb finding myself amused as I discovered that the book was story of werewolves, apparently written by a human, a fan

I opened my mouth slightly to answer, but no words came out. Nick leaned towards me, our faces getting closer, then he fell silent, waiting for my answer. He didn't touch me, but being this close to him had the same effect as if he had touched me... I couldn't think clearly. I swallowed my saliva to moisten my dry throat, the only part of me that felt cold was my hands, which were still holding the wine glass I hadn't touched yet. The faint smell of aftershave mixed with mint made my brain even foggier, but Nick still looked at me patiently.

The walk to the bookstore was shorter than she expected. Nestled between two larger buildings, its faded sign read "Willow’s Nook.” A small bell chimed as they stepped inside, and the scent of old paper and polished wood greeted them. The librarian was a small lady with a bob cut and cat eyed glasses, probably in her fifties. The space was cozy, with narrow aisles lined with overflowing shelves and dim lamps casting a warm glow. It felt like stepping into another world, one untouched by time.
