Lee Lockwood Library Novels & Stories

Meredith and Raven glanced at each other before going deeper into the bookcase aisle. And that's when they saw it. On one of the hidden shelves in the corner of the library, there was a dusty old book with a barely legible title. Meredith rubbed the cover, then read it quietly. "Residual Energy Phenomena and Astral Traces on the Lorywood Campus." The name of their campus. Meredith's heart was pounding. What exactly was going on in this place?

After feeding Leo breakfast, she let him play with a set of wooden blocks in the sun-drenched living room under the watchful eye of a silent security guard. ​"I’m just going to the library," Lyra told the guard. ​She didn't go to the library. She went to Julian’s private study at the end of the north hall. ​The room smelled of old paper and the same ozone-sharp cologne Julian wore. It was a workspace of brutal efficiency—no photos, no trinkets, just three monitors and a mahogany desk covered in folders.

Veridia University. The Main Library. Thursday. 3:00 PM. Leo Smith sat three tables away from the target, twirling a stick of charcoal between his fingers. Sarah Kensington. Junior. Vice President of The Gilded. Major in Art History (which she was failing, according to Lyra’s hack). She was sitting in a pool of sunlight, looking tragic and bored. She was wearing a cashmere sweater that cost more than Leo’s entire fake budget for the semester. She flipped the page of a textbook with a sigh that was clearly meant to be heard.

A Gamma stepped forward with a metal cutter, and after getting Thiery's permission, he worked deftly, cutting through the metal of the lock. The door opened silently after the lock was released. Beyond the door was another hallway, wider and less long, ending in a dark room filled with bookshelves. "This is the library," Jackson said quietly. "Yes," Thiery replied. "The library in the late Alpha Kane's mansion. I've been here before, when Alpha Kane was still alive." "Oh my," said Leo, stepping forward to meet Thiery and Jackson. He had been at the back of the line all this time, acting as backup. "Does that mean we're in the late Alpha Kane's mansion?"

Isolde's mother gave Zara the address at two in the afternoon, after the disclosure had been filed and the panel had received it and Justice Osei had sent a message confirming receipt with the specific quality of a woman who had stopped being surprised by what the morning produced and was simply processing each development with the efficiency her role required.

The guards would be here any time soon which meant there was no time to waste. I ran through the building until I got to the doors of the library. The artwork on the door never failed to blow my mind away. The design and the intricate carvings were a masterpiece. I pushed lightly and the door opened without resistance. The library was not like any other on the planet. The moonstone pack was the only pack known to keep records of historical events, and boy did we have history. The room was also the basement and it burrowed deep into the ground. The roof of the library was almond two hundred feet high and it was filled with shelves that overflowed with books. Finding anything in this place wou

He understood relationships were built on trust, and he didn't want to pry into her personal life. Leo shook his head, as if to quell any residual curiosity about his choice. He let out a sigh and opened the library's doors, allowing himself to be overwhelmed by the wealth of information within. The fragrance of wood, leather-bound volumes, and ancient parchment welcomed him to the large chamber. The shelves extended skyward, densely packed with books. Leo enjoyed the peace of the library; it was a haven from the hassles of pack life, a place to bury himself in the knowledge and tales of bygone eras.

I heard they have some rare catches today” Lacey whispered, nudging Rex.

Pack your things. It made my jaw tighten, especially as he believed that he could make me leave without my children. A soft knock broke the silence. “Come in.” The door opened carefully, and Regina stepped inside. “Madam,” she said quietly, closing the door behind her. “I know that you don’t want to hear it, but there is something that you need to know.” I didn’t turn right away. “What is it?” She hesitated. “Alpha Lockwood will be returning this evening,” she said. “He has called to inform me about it.”

Leo looked at me threw the rearview mirror as I tilted my head back and closed my eyes willing the throbbing in my head away "What library are we going to?" I could still feel Leo looking at me, I wanted to tell him to keep his eyes on the road but thought better of it "Connor has given us access to his place, He has the most extensive supernatural book collection in the world" my eyes snapped open and I drilled holes in the back of his head but he refused to look at me again
