Nora Smith Audio Book Novels & Stories

Charlotte’s POV It was a dreary, rainy day; the perfect day to stay inside, reading in the library. Nora and I had made our home for the day at one of the tables in the library with cups of hot cocoa and a plate of cookies between us. She sat across from me with a history book open in front of her. She was supposed to be reading about the founding Alpha families, but instead, she kept sighing wistfully, trailing her little fingers across the page.

Seraphina said and Nora scoffed. "The burial ceremony of Doctor Smith went well, I came straight from the burial site to your apartment. I don't just want to go back home with that dickhead, he is becoming so annoying with the restrictions and monitoring spirits he placed on me. He doesn't even want me to go visit Rufus for any reason," Nora explained feeling so frustrated and Seraphina sighed as she sat beside her.

“Bye, Jayden.” Later that evening, as we walked down the beach under the fading sun, I asked, “Did it bother you? Seeing him?” Richard shrugged. “I’m not threatened by something I’ve already won.” Another day, we stopped by a small bookstore café. I was reaching for a novel when I heard a voice say, “That one’s really good.” I turned. Nora. She looked effortlessly beautiful, as always — tailored pants, soft curls, perfect lipstick. “Thanks,” I replied, placing the book back.

Nora replied as she stared at me pointedly and I looked away guiltily. “I'm sorry, I have no excuse. It's just that I got bored after I returned from the infirmary and something in this library kept calling to me.” I revealed and Nora merely stared at me silently. “I've always loved books and at first when you told me about the library I tried my best to stay away but I just couldn't. There's something about reading, it just transports me into another universe,” I explained and Nora stared at me with an unreadable expression on her face.

She was standing there…Nora. Just ahead, alive, awake. And staring straight at me. She didn’t run…she didn’t speak…she simply lifted her hand. — And behind her, twelve Rejected emerged from the shadows like a wave. Subject One stood among them. And they all bowed their heads to her. Nora looked back at me, and finally… she smiled. It's neither a cruel nor a kind smile. Then she spoke. “My daughter,” she said. “It’s time you remembered who you really are.”

Fred comforted Nora for a few moments, and Nora knew that he was Edgar’s cousin, so she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. At that moment, footsteps sounded at the door. Owen and his wife came over, not looking good, especially his was worried. Because Renee was taken into custody! Nora sighed,he carefully placed Daphne’s hand on the quilt, and coldly spoke: "Mr Smith What are you doing here?Haven’t you and your family done much damage for one day.” Owen stared at Daphne. The girl lay still, as if asleep. Nora smiled bitterly, "The doctor said she doesn't want to wake up, Mr Smith, are you satisfied?"

Nora lounged on her plush couch, her phone pressed to her ear as she chatted with the person on the other end. Her voice was animated, her words tumbling out in a lively rhythm as she laughed and gestured with her free hand. The soft glow of the lamp beside her cast a warm light on her face, illuminating her bright smile and sparkling eyes. "Listen to me carefully, because I'm only going to say this once," Nora's voice was low and husky, her words dripping with an underlying menace.

Rachel repeated as she stopped midway from flipping a page on the cookbook. Nora heard their conversation and a realization immediately shot up in her brain. “NOOOO!” she protested.

As much as she was obligated to attend the launch, Nora's heart remained tethered to her daughter. Walking towards the break room, Nora dialled her mother's number, eager to hear her voice and find some comfort in her words. But then, she heard distinct sounds in the background, sounds that weren't coming from her mother's side of the line. Curiosity gripped her, causing her steps to slow as she strained her ears. Nora was sure she was hearing sex sounds. The sounds were unmistakable - heavy breathing, moans, and the rhythmic slaps of skin against skin.

“You’re not stupid either so why did you bring me here? You know what Darian will do if he finds out that we've talked. Anyone who could do me well won't breathe for long in this palace,” Nora walked over to the bed and grabbed a book from under her pillow. She scoffed as she walked it over and handed it to me, the first thing I noticed was the wilting cover and the torn spine. “My mom gave this to me when I was a child. It was after the war, the royal guard had slaughtered most rogues and those of us that were left had to find a way to survive with the small numbers we had. She said to me that whenever life gets a little scary or sad, I should read this and that I will go somewhere else for
