Kristin Hannah Books Novels & Stories

CRYSTAL My brows knitted as I watched Hannah order the maids to arrange the dining table as if she were the owner of the mansion. She looked at me condescendingly and didn't say a word to me or reply to my questions. I walked down the stairs and approached them. Looking at the dining table filled with delicacies, my stomach growled, but my anger only increased. "What are you doing here?" I repeated the question I'd asked two times already. Hannah sneered. She crossed her arms and looked at me with a smirk on her face. "I should be the one asking you that. I'm Xavier's fiancée, and I have the right to be in his house." She replied.

Inanna and Conri were never meant to be awakened again. “Ashe,” I whisper through my tears “She awakened your wolves.” I knew it to be true as soon as the words left my lips. I begin to put bits and pieces together from the past, from the things Hunji told me, to the fairytale my mother read to me when I was just a small child. Why now though? Why now? “Who else knew about the library, who had access to it?” Crimson asks Althea, as he gently rubs circles on my back aware of my discomfort and the sadness creeping in on me.

She explains. I honestly didn’t give the camera a second thought after I realized that I forgot it at the barn. I was worried about getting Gabe to the packhouse and then I was busy trying to take care of him while he recuperated. “I also hear that you helped my little girl too.” She beamed at me. Then she grabbed my hand to examine my palm. How did she know? “It’s alright Hannah, you can trust Christine”, Gabe tells me seeing that I am anxious about this conversation. Christine goes on to explain that she works as a researcher for a nonprofit that was established by a coalition of packs in the area.

Without looking to Owen for confirmation, I say, “We do. Please, explain.” She opens her bag and removes a few tattered paperbacks. The spines are unreadable, they’ve been cracked in so many places. One is missing a cover. All of them have a forest of neon tabs jutting out from their sides. I hear Hannah’s audible gasp of delight and admiration. I’m surprised she doesn’t ask for the brand, style, and inventory number of the tabs. “Our pack is so obsessed with the story of our origins, that we ignore the story of our ending.” She opens one of the books and it lays flat, pages perilously close to falling out. There’s a woodcut illustration of Fenrir devouring Odin.

Drake, an elegant, stern woman in her late forties wearing a white lab coat, stood up from her chair to greet me. "Callan," she said, offering her hand. "When your guard called to cancel tomorrow's procedure, I was surprised. Please, sit down. Is everything alright?" I took a seat in the chair across from her, crossing one leg over the other. “Everything is fine, Doctor.” I said smoothly. She sat down, opening my medical file on her desk. "Your surgery was fully prepped. We've been planning this reduction for two months to solve your chronic sexual anatomical obstruction. Why the sudden cancellation?"

It was due to a lack of optimism in living outside of societal conventions. Hannah can’t help but be astonished by his explanations. He had certainly read the book, understanding its connotation and digging deeper into its words. Now, she can truly see a prince. A prince who wasn’t afraid of reading a feminist romance book. It's not a full romance, but still a romance. Contrary to Astrrid’s claim that Hannah hadn’t read some romance novel, she had. But books should focus on societal or political issues rather than centering on romance itself.

It's wonderful to laugh every once in a while. "I'm really hungry and don't know where the cafeteria is," Cristine pouted childishly as she rubbed her tummy. Cristine still has moments when she acts like a child. Hannah hugs Cristine unexpectedly, surprising her, and she responds with a backtap. Did Cristine think Hannah would fall in love with her? Cristine is a certified narcissist who believes that she will make everyone fall in love with her. Hannah sniffed gratefully and murmured, "Thank you so much, Cristine." Did she shed a tear? It was a bit of an exaggeration, but you can't blame everyone for being affected. You aren't them.

"Yeah, but they don't know me Hannah, remember? They know me as Mistress. The woman who always wore the mask. Bidding farewell to them would be revealing my image and I would hate for anyone to accidentally slip out to anyone that the infamous mistress is no other than Hannah Morales, reviver of crumbled business," Rachel rolls her eyes. "Okay no one calls you that," "I know, but you get my point." Rachel clapped back. Silence filled the air and Rachel pressed on. "Okay, how about you visit all the rooms where you worked your magic on and revived the spark in people's relationship. You know, you could also visit your room..." "Rachel.." "Yes, Hannah." "What are you aiming at?" Hannah folded

I considered it honestly. “No.” That got a small breath of laughter out of her. “At least you're consistent.” “Hannah attempted to destroy your life publicly.” “Yes.” “She coordinated criminal fraud, manipulated household access, leveraged financial coercion, and attempted secondary media attacks afterward.” “You make everything sound like a classified government operation.” “Because most people underestimate how organized cruelty actually is.” That quieted the car again briefly. Then Xena looked back down at the guest list. “You know,” she murmured, “the scary part is that I don't even disagree with you anymore.”
