It felt like a beginning. I met his gaze, calm and unwavering. "Very well, Alpha Volf. We'll see." The wheels rolled on, crunching through the thick snow, carrying me north to a land of ice and wolves—toward an unknown fate. This time, the reins of destiny were in my hands.

The evidence before me seemed to suggest a sinister motive, but I couldn't help but wonder if there was more to the story that I was missing. I shook my head. Now is not the time to think about it. I need to follow Charles and stop him before he carries out his deadly plan. Before it gets too late. ****** ‘Now is the time.’ I smiled while holding the book that took me months to find, the book of Eklepō.

asked Gabriel. “I don't think that was Mr. Henry, guys. ” “What are you talking about? ” “I think I've been seeing...things. ” “No shit! ” came Matt. “Things that nobody else can. ” “Like with Mr. Henry? ” “Yes. I know this sounds crazy but I think the book’s done something to me. I see things everywhere and it's like... it's like they're after me but they can't get close enough... ” “The book! ” Gabriel responded, “maybe they want the book! ”

“What the hell is going on here?” My rasping voice only accentuated the strange, forlorn silence of my home. Nothing made any sense. Nothing seemed or felt real. Hadn’t, really, since we’d discovered those two dead dogs and that altar in the clearing, and especially since yesterday morning . . . When I’d seen that damned book at The General Store. The book I’d apparently bought in a fugue state and then read multiple times without remembering anything. The book that . . . I opened my eyes, looked down and—feeling very little surprise—saw The King Wears Yellow sitting open before me on the den table.

The girl said. “Same here. I actually thought that this book wasn’t popular but you’re reading it as well. Oh, I’m Kayne by the way, Kayne David.” “I’m Natsumi Koga, it’s nice to meet you!” “Ah yes, you as well. I was actually about to ask if you always come here.” Kayne asked. “Uhuh, I always go to this café every time I go to town, this is actually kind of my spot, haha.”

Lily said, raising her fist like a victorious heroine. "Whoa! The prettiest girl in school is making a move on the unapproachable genius!" Cheers rang out through the classroom. Suddenly, Lily sauntered over to my desk, flashing a playful wink. "You're Aaron's neighbor, Larissa. Do you think we'll work out?" Her confident gaze snapped me back to reality. I clutched my chest, struggling to catch my breath. I was here again. Lily was my deskmate. Just yesterday, she'd spotted my notebook covered in Aaron Grimmer's name and teased me for being too cowardly to confess. Now, she was putting on a show, boldly staking her claim on him.

The book is the visibility of what was already there. Don wrote in his journal that night. He wrote: The third book is complete. Eighteen years of the arrangement. Three books. The three books are not three separate arguments. The three books are one argument in three movements. The Inside Account: what the accumulation produced in me. The Ground Keeps: what the accumulation produced in the estate. The Emergent World: what the accumulation produced between us.

Some even started recording videos and broadcasting the situation live. Still pretending to be confused, I asked, "Oh, right. Isn't Whitney here? Since she's the wife of the deceased victim, she can be a witness too. I know you're upset about Martin, Mom, but we shouldn't come up with ridiculous lies! Just yesterday, you said that our family is ruined. You asked Martin to turn himself in too!" The words that came out of my mouth flew like missiles right at Patricia. She couldn't refute me. Meanwhile, all eyes fell on Whitney, and even Patricia's eyes lit up when she heard what I said. It was as if she found her savior.

I smile at her. “Go, open it.” She insists happily. “I thought about you when I saw it so I instantly bought it right away.” I started opening the paper bag and saw a notebook that seemed like a journey or something and a cute hand-knitted slipper inside. “That is a Mamentos Before Child Pregnancy Journal so you could write down everything you want to.” “Oh Gwyneth that’s so sweet of you. Thank you.” I said as I examined the journal before throwing myself to her. “This means so much to me. Thank you.
