Layton Library Novels & Stories

“So we accidentally do not perform them.” “Some logic you have, Daphne.” I shook my head at her, but I had to admit, even I was intrigued at this point. “Let’s get going before someone sees us.” “Yep!” Daphne clapped her hands together. “I knew you would understand my thirst for knowledge, Flora! Let’s go!” Thirst for knowledge? I found myself impressed by Daphne’s own explanation of her nosiness, and found myself following her willingly. Lindersay Library was possibly the biggest library on ancient documents and Moon rituals; however, most of these documents were also classified and reserved only for the Alpha, the Shrine Maiden and some high ranking soldiers. But that didn’t mean we didn’t

“We just want to make sure that she’s okay, and that we’re doing the best we can to care for her.” “I must admit,” Layla says, “there is not much known about Crescent Children - but we will do our best to answer your questions.” She hands Stella back to me, then reaches into her pocket for a gold key that opens the main spa area. “Why don’t you and Nash have a soak in the hot tub while we visit our upstairs library, and we’ll let you know what our research turns up.”

None of them stopped me as I walked past. Why would they? I was the Luna. The title still felt new in moments like this. Strange. Heavy. But useful. I kept my steps steady as I made my way toward one place I hadn’t fully explored in a long time. Lucian’s library. The doors stood tall and familiar, carved with intricate designs that had always seemed too complex for me to understand. As a child, I had been fascinated by them. Now… I just needed answers. I pushed the door open and stepped inside. The scent of old paper and polished wood wrapped around me instantly. Rows upon rows of shelves stretched across the room, filled with books, scrolls, and records…some neatly arranged, others stacked

This is enough for two offices! Her gaze swept across the space in awe. Glass-paneled staircases curved elegantly toward an austere desk that looked untouched by clutter. A massive screen dominated one wall...clearly meant for virtual meetings...while shelves upon shelves of books lined the room with military precision. She had been inside her father’s study countless times, but Lucian’s library didn’t just whisper wealth...it screamed it. “Lucian… can I touch that?” Layla asked softly, pointing toward a bookshelf after spotting her favorite business law book.

Kathrena asked, and we fell into step, all three of us, as we turned off the main street and onto one of the smaller, cobbled lanes that rounded towards the Hawthorn Central Library. “Let’s speak to Herb first. I’ll tell you when we’re settled inside.” The library was quiet as we filed in, and dust rose thick in the air, motes spinning through the slanted, grey light. There was an aura of ancient eyes watching us, today: something mystical, something magical, and it was curious, too.

The library stood near the town square; a beautiful, old sandstone building with wide steps and tall windows that always smelled faintly of old paper and sea breeze. A banner hung across the entrance: “Brentwood Youth Symposium — Connecting Minds, Sharing Dreams.” Gal grinned at me. “See? Totally worth leaving the house for.” I chuckled. “You just want the snacks.” “Maybe,” she said, laughing. Inside, the library had been rearranged, tables pushed aside to make space for rows of folding chairs. There were posters about creativity, community projects, and “youth impact.” At the front stood a cheerful-looking woman in her thirties with a microphone, addressing the small crowd of about thirty t

They blinked at her, taken aback for a second, but then Courtney stepped forward. "There's a gym in the basement, a mini movie theater, a pool in the backyard, a pond in the garden, and a library in the west wing-" "There's a library here?" Serena asked, shocked. Courtney nodded and escorted her to the library. Serena was ecstatic as Courtney left to bring her some snacks. Victor and Alexie were nowhere in sight, probably at work. And thankfully, in their absence, the mansion felt a lot more peaceful. The whole library was mostly filled with business books and history, but she was able to find a couple of romance novels, which was a win.

"Alpha Trayton is already waiting inside. May I open the door for you now?” My smile is both a challenge and an invitation. "The past has a way of haunting us until we confront it. I hope you’re ready when it starts haunting you." He draws a sigh, long yet controlled. I jerk the photo in my hand, offering it to him. He takes it without meeting my gaze. Then I motion for him to open the door. When he does, the twilight’s pale light filters through the intricate lattice of the library's windows, casting soft shadows that stream upon the floor like wraiths. The scent of aged paper and polished wood hangs in the air, an aroma that whispers of countless stories etched into the annals of time. Sea

Dante said. "You were here at seven and you left," she said. "This time you'll see it properly." She paused. "There's a library near the house. Still there. I walked past it last week before the hip decided to be dramatic." Dante looked at her. "The same library?" he said. "It's been there since 1906," she said. "It doesn't go anywhere." She held his gaze. "The mathematics section is on the second floor. Left side."

Zev rubbed the bridge of his nose before walking to his closet to get something to wear. “Wait for me in the library,” Zev said while putting on his clothes. As much as he was tempted to watch the lady sleep, he couldn’t delay the discussion about Lucian’s findings. “Yes, Your Majesty.” After getting changed, Zev fixed the blanket over Layla and left the room. He headed to the library where he spent his years reading all the books that were left by his ancestors before leaving for the capital. It was way back in centuries, and he was glad the books didn’t rot like how a dead body was consumed by worms. The library became his haven whenever he felt emptiness. It was a great place which he nev
