Laced Book Novels & Stories

"So, you went through my locker, dug it out, and just thought you'd have a look around my private thoughts?" Lacy pulled out a chair from the table and placed herself in it with more fanfare than called for. "We work in a bookstore. Do you know how many people here are writing the next great American novel?" She paused, waiting for my answer. When she didn't get one, she popped a grape into her mouth and continued. "All of them. Including the ones who run the place." "And how does that justify breaking and entering?" I didn't have a clue what she'd read, or how deep into my thoughts she had been able to dig. My heart lay fully exposed on those pages without so much as a filter to shield them

I got up from the bed and walked around the room, still no pain, how weird. I noticed the bookshelf and decided to take a look. There were so many books, some with older worn covers and others a bit more newer looking. I picked up a small red book and read the cover ‘A Lycanthropy Reader; WEREWOLVES IN WESTERN CULTURE’. I flicked through the pages and put it back on the shelf, a little too intense for some early morning reading. I picked up another one and read the cover, ‘The Garden of Eden’ by Ernest Hemingway. Not what I expected from a teenage werewolf soon-to-be-Alpha. I put it back and my eyes fell on a really older looking book. I pulled it out and it was big and very heavy. It looked

She ran her fingers along the spines, the gold lettering cool against her skin. Drawn in by the sheer volume, she hesitantly pulled a book from the shelf, a slim volume bound in dark blue leather. The title was etched in silver: The Royal Grimoire of Sacred Oaths. She opened it, her eyes skimming the ornate calligraphy, the intricate diagrams filled with arcane symbols.

Familiar. "Come in," I said, already knowing who it was. Lance entered, coat dusted in vineyard earth, looking like he hadn't slept in days. "I brought you books," he said. "I already read all the ones you sent last time." "These are the uncensored ones." He placed a small stack on the table, poetry, political strategy, even a thin paperback novel titled The Bride That Ran. His humor was drier than usual. I raised an eyebrow. "Trying to keep me entertained or trying to send a message?"

“I don’t think they’re gone. Just… focused.” Selene nodded. “Something’s coming.” Theoden didn’t deny it. — Later, back at the village, Luka was sorting through another box of Cassiel’s texts when he pulled out a slim book with no title on the spine. It looked newer than the others—less dust, fewer torn edges. “What’s this one?” he asked aloud, more to himself than anyone. Darius looked up from his chair in the corner, where he was playing with one of the carved stones Cassiel had left behind. “Does it have a title?”

I also sought answers since I was becoming more concerned about Veyron and Darius's involvement in my demise. The gold-embossed titles of leather-bound books faded with time as my fingertips traced along their spines. Selena's silent but urgent call for prudence blended with Lucas's cryptic warnings about treachery in my head. So far, none of it made sense. I was determined to put it all together, however. --- Tucked down in the library's furthest corner was the section I was looking for. It was identified as the Lunaris Chronicles by faded labeling. These shelves were loaded with tales of the Moon Goddess, long-forgotten festivals, and ancient rituals.

Each shelf was filled with books and scrolls that contained pack history and strategies. My eyes scanned the titles absentmindedly as I made my way to the book Lucian had requested. While I was doing that, my eyes caught something peculiar. On the far shelf at the other end of the office, there was a single leather-bound book that stood out. It was named the Pack Secrets. The title alone sparked curiosity, and without thinking, I reached for it. The worn book cover felt cool against my fingers, and something about it felt forbidden and dangerous. “What are you hiding, Lucian?” I whispered under my breath.

I pee a lot, and smelling and seeing things that are sensitive to my body makes me puke. "Liam, just leave the poor girl alone." Sydney stepped in and pressed those breasts of hers on Liam's arm. "Come on. The book is a room. So we are going to have loads of fun." Loads of fun, indeed. "Just give me a minute," Liam brushed Sydney off, making her pout. "Lily, are you okay?" I scoffed.

She is lying on the Hammock outside the presidential suite, Lauren walks to her and drags the book she is reading. "Hey stop it." Mandy tries to get it, but she can't. "Relax, I just want to see what you are reading." Lauren's voice is all nice and soft, no longer that cold voice. "Tangled life. Hm." He pronounced the name of the book. "Interesting, so what is it about?" Lauren asked, Mandy tapped the space beside her, Lauren stared at her, this girl was playing with fire, she didn't seem to learn, his level of self-control was on very tiny ground when his body came in contact with hers.

Fortunately, the shuffling stopped, and after about ten seconds of silence, Lyda let out a quiet sigh of relief before her eyes fell upon a relatively large object sitting in the shadows beneath her bed frame. Lyda knelt and set the candle on the floor behind her, now shielding the light with her body, as she reached under the bed and carefully pulled out the object. It was a book of some sort, but this one was much larger than the ones on Aunt Mara's shelf, and it looked indescribably old. The spine appeared as though it might break apart at the slightest touch, and its face was covered in a layer of dust. She did not know why, but the mere sight of it made Lyda's skin crawl. Without a seco
