Reclaimed by My Alpha(Reclaimed by My Ruthless Alpha)
I pulled it out and held it up to the torchlight.
It was a book.
It was small but thick, the cover made of dark, cracked leather. Most of the pages seemed to be intact, although they looked very brittle and yellow.
Just then, something moved on the cover. I yelped quietly and nearly dropped it.
A large, pale spider skittered its way across the surface and disappeared over the edge. I shook the book once, gently, and it plopped to the floor and scurried away.
Looking back at the book, I turned it over in my hands and wiped the dust off the cover.
