Lilly Library Wabash Novels & Stories

The world was shut out, leaving only the soft, ambient glow of floor-to-ceiling city lights and the low hum of high-level decryption hardware running across three monitors on the massive teak desk in the library. ​Lily pulled the pins from her dark hair, letting it tumble in loose, midnight-black waves down over her shoulders. She shed her sharp corporate blazer, kicking off her tight pumps, and stood in her thin white silk camisole and tailored black trousers. She leaned over the library desk, her grey-blue eyes reflecting the blue light of the main terminal screen.

It was evident he didn’t want to intervene earlier but he knew Lilly won’t tell Alice what really went on because of how shameful the issue was. “Why? Why can’t she tell me? Why won’t she tell me? How bad is it?”, she asked the question with her eyes dancing between the two of them. Lilly’s fidgeting in the chair seems to have worsen since Alice became firm on her questioning her. “Well Isabella is Lilly’s twenty two years old friend, they met in the hotel lobby when we wanted to check into the hotel whilst awaiting the completion of our house in Avis Avenue. She advised us against wasting money on such expensive rooms when we can stay comfortably in a well kept hostel.” Willy uttered softly

This is a very personal affair for both him and for me and every detail has to be perfect. I hear Lilly say goodbye to James and then she makes her way to the conference room to clean up. Not that there is that much to do but to collect the documents, coffee mugs and the napkin James used as he ate Lilly’s homemade cookies. But I know that she always puts in that little extra, making sure that every chair is in its designated spot, removing the flowers to put them on Barbara's desk for her to take home for the weekend. “It is a waste to throw them away!” was her words when she asked if it was alright to do so. Barbara seems to appreciate the gesture.

The scent of old paper and polished wood filled the air, creating an atmosphere of timeless tranquility. “Do people come here often?” I asked, curious about how much use this impressive space got. “Not really,” Lily admitted. “It’s mostly used for research. People come to the history section when they need information for work or school.” I nodded, understanding the utility of such a resource. As I walked through the aisles, I noticed the variety of genres available: romance, werewolf fiction, fantasy, history, education, paranormal, and many others. Each section was meticulously organized, and it was clear that someone had taken great care in maintaining this library.

Marcy joked, playfully shoving his shoulder. Lilly clapped her hands together. "Alright then! Let’s make it a proper day out. Brunch first, then maybe a walk downtown? I heard there's a new little boutique strip with some cute shops and a bookstore." "A bookstore? You tryna make me fall in love with you all over again?" Link teased. "It’s my secret plan," Lilly grinned. Carter leaned forward, resting his elbows on the island. "There's that art gallery downtown too. Local artists. Could be nice to walk through."

She shook her head quickly, grabbed her satchel, and pushed past me. “I can’t… not right now,” she whispered, and slipped out the door. I stood there, staring at the empty space she left behind, my chest aching. The room felt colder without her. Lily POV The library was quiet, almost unnaturally so. Rows of towering shelves loomed overhead, their shadows stretching long in the morning light. Most students avoided this place unless forced to study—it was too heavy, too solemn, like the books themselves were watching you. I liked it that way. Quiet meant I could think.

Skyla gasps, clutching her throat as she stares at the dagger and whispers, “I have seen that before.” I frown, looking at her, and ask, “Where?” A sly smile crosses her face as she stands and walks over to one of the bookshelves; her hand rests on an old leather-bound book; she takes it off the shelf and brings it over to me. When she sits back down, she murmurs, “In this book.” Lilly enters the library, saying, “You wanted to see me, Lisha?” I nod and look over my shoulder at her,

Jim replied as he watched his boss head out the door. Sam walked through the maze of corridors and then went down via the stairs to the ground floor of the house. He walked toward the east wing and then went in through a door. He saw Lilly reading her favorite children’s book, the Sacred Sword series by Anna Chan. “Hey,” he said. Lilly lifted her head, a smile plastered on her cute face. Noting him, she threw the book to one side, rushed off the sofa, and raced into his wide-open arms.

I do care about Lorcan; he just doesn’t realise it. “Listen, you’re never going to find an answer to this problem. You won’t because there isn’t one. Lilly has great power, enough to pull her mate into her subconscious. I once read in a book back home, in the Library Pavilion,” Which is restricted! No one can enter the library pavilion without the King’s permission. Not that that has ever stopped Lorcan from doing whatever the hell he wants.
