## Chapter 127 ice Grimoire Complete **Storm Academy, Utah** **September 8, 2032 – Morning, Library Wing** The Ice Ability Grimoire was finished before breakfast. That was the part that still felt a little unreal, even to Celeste. The final draft had spent the better part of two days moving between her office, Rowan’s console, the ward chamber, and the curriculum hall, but now it sat sealed in a crystal-backed case on the central reading table of the library wing. Pale blue script glimmered along its cover. The binding had been reinforced with frost-silver thread, and the first completed volume gave off a faint, cool resonance that made the air around it feel cleaner somehow.

“Promise.” I nodded once, even though promises felt like fragile things lately. “Promise.” Dawson came out forty minutes later looking… hollowed. Not worse, exactly. Not broken. Just stripped. Like he’d opened a door he’d been holding shut for years and the wind that rushed out had taken something with it. His eyes met mine. Storm grey. Tired. But there was a strange steadiness there too, as if naming the darkness didn’t feed it, it just made it visible. Liberty stood immediately, bouncing on the balls of her feet. “So? Did you hate it?”

“As long as it is safe. You have done well to hide it from your mind. The location and spells which protect it are powerful. All I can see is the book, nothing else.” Willow simply nods, she doesn’t want it found by anyone: human, witch, werewolf or vampire. “I also sense you have it hidden from Alaric? If you trust him, why hide it?” “Because I can keep people out of my mind and the thoughts of the books, but I can’t stop people from seeing it in Alaric’s mind.” She trusts Alaric not to tell them but a witch could easily get the information, just as a vampire with the right powers could.

Storm believed that she wouldn’t be receiving an answer then. “It’s absolutely sad that it had been stolen. You have to get it back, by all means. It contains instructions and ways to conquer the darkness that is coming.” Storm clucked her tongue in dismay, feeling like pulling her hair. But was it her fault? Was there a way she could have hidden it from the vampire? How had the latter even known that she had the book? She had never brought it out in the open; the book had never left her house. “But that’s alright. Just hang in there, and make the most of the opportunities. About the red beast that had troubled your dreams, and the woman that had given you nightmares for years, you will find

On his black bookshelf sat a comic book collection that would make Kiaan jealous as well as books with symbols—some of which she recognised from Damien's jewellery. "So from what you said, it sounds like you guys were trying to summon an Alastor," he said as if the solution were obvious. "Exactly what I was thinking," Jess joked. Malus laughed. "These things usually last for a limited time." After going to his shelf and selecting a black covered book. When he opened it up, Jess saw it was full of handwritten script and drawings. He licked his thumb and flicked through the thick, off-white sheets. "Ah, did you notice if there was a full moon at the night of the spell?" he asked.

The air grew cooler as we descended a spiral staircase into what felt like the depths of the earth. At the bottom of the staircase, we entered a vast room illuminated by the soft glow of lanterns. Shelves lined the walls, filled with ancient books, scrolls, and artifacts. The scent of aged parchment and leather filled the air, along with something faintly metallic, like the lingering echoes of battles long past. “What is this place?” I asked, my voice hushed. “The archive,” Ethan replied. “It holds the history of our pack—and of those who came before us.” He led me to a table in the center of the room, where a large, leather-bound journal rested. The cover was embossed with a crescent moon a

Only this particular library was mainly archives and non-fiction works, and I was getting increasingly annoyed that even now, this didn't seem to be going right. My fingers slid along the spines of each individual novel and then rested on a famous historical romance novel. I picked it out and smiled at it. Leave it to Lyndra to have this tucked away in amongst the more straightforward reading options. Then another book caught my eye. Its spine was one of the most detailed I had seen, with gold stars going up its length. I put back Lyndra's novel and lifted out the second one instead. It was masterfully binded with intricate detailing. The star pattern continued on the front, making up the bo

Chapter 4 Rain Draven's point of view Twenty-seven floorboards from wall to window. I count them again, my boots silent against the ancient oak that's witnessed centuries of dragon councils. The runic candles cast long shadows that dance across the leather-bound tomes on our desk, their flames responding to my agitation with subtle flares. My dragon claws at my insides, demanding action when restraint is our only option. I turn at the window, catching Riku's amused gaze as he lounges in his chair like this is all some cosmic joke rather than the crisis it truly is.

To not imagine hauling her onto his lap in front of the entire class— “Malick.” The sharp voice of Professor Thorne pulled him back. “Would you care to share with the class what elemental traits make a familiar incompatible with shadowbinding?” All eyes turned to him. “…Uh.” His voice cracked. “…If they’re infused with celestial light or any kind of angelic resonance, they’ll… short out the bind and explode.” Silence stretched. Then Thorne nodded. “Correct. Though perhaps next time you could deliver your answer with less… panic.”

The silence in Orion’s private library was a living thing, thick and heavy with the scent of old paper, leather, and beeswax. Thalia, the new archivist, knew she was trespassing. This sanctum was forbidden to all but the Alpha himself, but the lure of centuries-old knowledge had been too potent to resist. Her fingers, skilled and careful, had traced the spines of volumes on law, history, and war before they closed around a simple, unmarked book of vellum.
