Library Rowland Heights 소설 & 이야기

It’s not me. Rowan

Drago snapped, punching the wall in frustration. The mention of Carlos and Cara made me uneasy. Dangerous allies… We had worked too long and too carefully to build this secret channel of wealth and power under the instructions of the shadow, and if Rowland should stumble too close to it, if he should sniff even the faintest trace… it could all crumble into dust before the shadows plans are carried out. “It doesn’t add up,” Edrick muttered, shaking his head in disbelief. “Rowland despises Harold, and Harold despises him. What could possibly drive him to send his precious heirs into the snake pit of Pine Shadows?”

Not a second inside the club, Damien and Daniel is nowhere to be seen, leaving me in a sea of strangers, dancing around touching each other. The club is filled with exclusive people, celebrities, and people with big bucks. Getting into this club is harder than the GMAT test, but the Kingsleys always have the golden ticket to go in. Not sure how I'm going to go through the night, I find myself sitting at the bar drinking iced tea, while the two devils are in the VIP section, popping bottles like a maniac with their friends I know nothing about. "You look awfully bored!" Nicole came out of nowhere, hugging me with full force, and I am just glad that she's finally here.

Chapter 68 Lily's knuckles had been white on the steerage wheel as she pulled into Rowland Park, scanning the scattered clusters of human beings milling about. She noticed Vincent almost immediately, lounging on a bench near the duck pond looking a way too casual for the sort of clandestine meeting.

"Mark exhaled “You need to be prepared. They don’t play by anyone’s rules.” His jaw was clenched as “I know. But Ava. she’s different. She's real. I can’t—” “Don’t talk about her here,” Mark said firmly. “Save that for them.” "Yes," replied Ethan, swallowing hard The estate of Rowan occupied the summit of the hill, and it was opulent and menacing. It had marble floors, reflected starlight from its chandeliers, and a faint aroma of roses and perfume. “Ethan!” The firm yet affectionate voice belonged to a woman in a grand entrance hall.

, Lena said to Dawn, a couple of hours later, pushing away the file she’d been skimming through “all these words are starting to blur together” “Theres no need”, Dawn said looking up from the page she had been reading “I know where Mathew Drummond is buried”. “Where?” Lena asked, leaning over to read the paper. “’Ravenhill Cemetery’”, Dawn read aloud “’In a grave marked with his initials MD’”. “That’s it?” Lena questioned “there aren’t any other markings or writing on it?” “I’m afraid not”, Dawn answered. She looked up at her friend “you didn’t think it was going to be easy, did you?” she teased.

I drew a breath, grounding myself in the scents of my friends, Chloe, Amelia, Jonathan and Williams. "What's up?" Chloe asked, leaning close to me. Her black lipstick and spiked choker contrasted with the worry in her bright eyes. "Rowland's headed back to Veridale," I murmured. The words felt like pebbles dropping off a cliff inside my chest. The chatter around us froze, the air thick with unsaid things. Jonathan's voice was soft, low, like a lullaby from an older wolf. "He is an Alpha that comes from a prominent family. It's only natural he has responsibilities. He can't stay here forever."

Sierra could still see the words burned into her mind: You came back. S.R. Rowan exhaled, slow and heavy, his hand rubbing the back of his neck as if trying to wipe away the dread crawling up his spine. “This lodge isn’t public,” he said finally. “It’s not something people stumble on. It’s off-road, half a mile out, barely visible on a map.” Lila swallowed. “So how did he know it?” Rowan’s jaw tightened. “That’s what I need to find out.” He moved toward the front door, checking the lock again, then the windows in the main room, his movements more urgent now. Sierra watched him, feeling the edges of panic creeping in again.

So I thought of everything else, thought of places and people and I forgot something as basic as this? This was the first thing I was supposed to do but I just... "No way...."Rowland muttered. "What is wrong?" "Her last location shows a route in my estate" Rowland replied. "What?" I uttered, grabbing the phone from him as I read the location. He was right. Charris Avenue, lane 2. "I thought you said she left your house?" I barked at him. "Man you have to chill, Rose left my house hours ago" Rowland started.

“What’s the name of your school, Rowan?” Nana asked him as they walked hand in hand around the multibillion-dollar Robinson mansion. Rowan lifted his gaze to meet Nana’s curious face. “Maple College,” he answered. “Did you know where?” He was still staring at her. “Isn’t that the biggest school in Tanglin?” Nana asked rhetorically. Rowan nodded with a huge grin, dropped his gaze, and continued walking, holding onto Nana’s hand.
