Jesse Lee Peterson Book Novels & Stories

I snarled, my fist clenched tight as I imagined punching into his mouth and knocking out all his teeth. “A simple lunch,” he said, casually. But there was nothing simple about Jericho. “At my estate. Just me and your little amore. If she shows up tomorrow by noon, I’ll let the girl go. No harm done. But if she doesn’t… well,” he exhaled dramatically, “children are fragile little things, aren’t they?” “You son of a—” I started, but the line clicked dead. I stood frozen. My heart thundered in my chest as I felt Jessica's hand on my shoulder.

CASSANDRA The pulsing between my thighs just won’t go away. It’s been there since my lesson yesterday with Rhett, along with a tingling sensation like I’ve been transformed into a bubbling can of lemon seltzer. I press my legs together as I lounge on the green velvet chaise in my room. I’m reading a book Clarisse brought me from the outside world. It’s a romance novel entitledBuilt from Stoneabout a girl who goes hiking and gets caught in a storm, only to be rescued by a rough mountain man who takes her home to his cabin where…thingshappen.

Noah finally spoke again. “Are you tired?” The question was simple. I looked at him briefly before answering. “A little.” He nodded quietly. He didn’t say anything else after that. Jessica then started talking about the book she had just bought. She opened her shopping bag slightly and showed the cover. “This is actually a mystery novel.” Angel immediately leaned forward with interest. “A mystery with murder?” Jessica laughed. “Why does it have to be murder?” Angel grinned. “A mystery without murder feels less exciting.” Noah said casually,

I read them the way you read things you know when you need to hold them in their full weight before a significant moment. Petra's account of the drive from Oregon. David's account of the Sagebrush pack's political structure and what it had done to him. Elena's twelve years of documentation filed into an archive for someone who might never come. Theo's account of eight months of trying to find an exit that had nowhere to land until the framework existed. The costs of the first principle. The evidence for the other one.

I quickly asked Jess to order a selection of food before returning to my room to see Cole rummaging through his bag. He halted in his rummaging with a book in hand as he turned to look me in the eye. Jess had been right, the guy really was something. Shaking off the wayward thoughts I turned my attention back to the matters at hand. I had way more pressing problems than an unwanted crush on a guy I hardly knew. “I know that Peter sent you home with a load of books to study, but I thought you might like to read this.” He stated handing me a book that seemed more like a diary, so much so that I was actually unsurprised to see that it was handwritten.

She knew I never wanted to be Alpha and was quite happy being the pack doctor, maybe she was trying to plan ahead but everything went wrong when Kiwi killed our father. It saddened me to think she had kept Kiwi a secret for so long. Not just her but father too. If mother knew she existed, did father? He had worked so hard on trying to teach me how to be an Alpha. Alexander and Kayla’s arguing break my thoughts, they had moved back down the corridor again and all I could hear was Kayla shrieking about how they were mated by the Moon Goddess and how he should love her. Rolling my eyes, I make a point of slamming the door shut, I wanted to read more of the book. Flipping the page to the one Kay

Like we’ve done for years. "So what's with you and Aidan?" Jared asks between mouthfuls of chocolate mint ice cream. "What do you mean?" I reply after taking a long licked from my vanilla soft serve. "Well yesterday he came to ask me about your book. And it was weird because it was the 3rd one in the series. He didn't even know it was yours or your name. He just wanted a background check on it so I told him it was yours. He then Alpha commanded me to tell him everything about you. He said it was a clue. What's going on there?"

[ Chapter 37 ] He, Lewis walked out with a book on his palm. A book that Leah hides. Now, however, was learnt by. The truth of this fiction is now happening [Before their eyes] Lewis caught the lighter and burn out some sticks. "Jin. I hope you won't see her again. This time she will always be mine. As this world is not ours and will be only the two of us. Goodbye." Lewis grinned upon the fire. The book is burning and can't be saved.

Jessie's POV I disconnected and looked back at the book spread before me. I had so much more to learn, so much more to understand. But at least now I had a direction. A plan. I spent a few more minutes reading, studying, absorbing every detail I could. The book was a masterpiece. My mother must have spent years, maybe decades, compiling this knowledge. It was morning, but I wasn't feeling sleepy. How could I sleep when there was so much at stake? When Ethan's freedom, possibly his life, depended on what I could learn in these precious hours?

“And I can help you with that.” I looked up at her. “How?” Jessica reached into her bag and pulled out a book, the leather cover is faded and old. “After Yara hid me in the temple, I found this in the High Priestess’s chambers. I took it with me when I ran because I thought it might be important.” She handed it to me and I opened it carefully, seeing pages covered in a handwriting I don’t understand. “What is it?” “It’s your mother’s book” Jessica said. “It covers everything you need to know. Your mother would have used this when she was learning, and it should work for you too since you have her bloodline.”
