Off The Books Novels & Stories

Crazy dimwits. I stay quiet and walk away from them as quickly as I could although I could still hear them laughing and calling me names. I walk straight to my locker and hurriedly take out the books I needed so I could get to class before Gabrielle and her minions catch up to me or even worse get to class before me.

He cuts me off, shooting me an apologetic look as he points towards Ares' office. I nod briskly, walking out of the office. I swallow thickly, heading to Ares' office. I knock, walking as a muffled “come in” sounds on the other side of the door. I walk in, my shoes shuffling against the tiles. “Ares, here are the datasheets…” He cuts me off, looking up for the first time since I entered, “That’s Mr Blackwood, Ms Hawthorne.” What the fuck? What crawled up his ass and died?

“Come on. Follow me.” He heads toward the records hall, and I follow. Inside, the air is cool and old. Dust and ink cling to the stone walls… stone that remembers secrets. He stops at a locked shelf and pulls out a massive book. The leather is cracked with age, gold symbols burned deep into the cover. “The Pack Offense Record,” he says. “Ancient. Permanent.” My fingers itch to touch it. “Every crime,” he continues, “every betrayal, every punishment is written here. Once a name is inked, it can never be erased.”

She says with a hint of sorrow in her voice. "Maybe," He grunted. "Bottom of the food chain. That’s what others call Omegas." She uttered in sorrow. Velmont did not respond; he took one of the books and helped her with the research. Minutes, hours, then almost half the day goes by, and still nothing. The duo finally called it a day when the clock reached ten in the evening. They started arranging the books back on the shelves when suddenly Gertrude noticed a book neatly stuffed at the back of the bookcase. She took it, "Book of Offerings 1321." She murmured. Velmont, on the other hand, continued arranging the books back.

Not a fortress. He doesn’t say anything. Neither do I. The bookstore is quiet. Just us and the hum of the fridge behind the counter. He holds something. A book. He sets it on the counter. The Art of Letting Go. Used. Corners bent. “I read it,” he says. His voice is rough. Unused. “Didn’t help.” My throat closes. “Dominic—” “I wasn’t okay,” he says, like he’s continuing a conversation from six months ago. “When you asked. On the phone. I wasn’t okay. I’m still not.”

“Neither absorbent nor load-bearing. You are—” He paused. “—variable.” The word landed and stayed. A screen lit behind the officers. Footage scrolled—drills, formations, transitions. Elias saw himself move through them like a fixed point while everything else adjusted. He felt nothing watching it. No pride. No resistance. Just accuracy. “Variables,” Vale said, “are addressed by sanction.” Elias met his gaze. “Define.” Vale inclined his head slightly. “Constraint.” The officers stood and left without comment.

Only what I wanted to capture. That day, I had just turned off the camera and sat down under the shade of a tree when Preston messaged me. Honey, I have a business dinner tonight. Don't wait up for me. Don't push yourself too hard. You've got me. I had just started typing a reply when the comments became active again. [The male lead is learning to lie for the heroine.] [It looks like a business dinner, but he's actually helping the heroine move and set up their little home together.]

Five days after I saved my girlfriend from an unhinged, violent patient, the wound on my arm tore open and got infected again. I wanted her to drive me to the hospital, but she spared me a glance before refusing, citing the need to avoid her being seen treating family. Left with no choice, I took a cab to the hospital by myself. Dizzy and weak from a burning fever, I lost my footing and tumbled down the stairs, injuring my foot in the fall. At that exact moment, my supposedly busy girlfriend, Stella Sloan, was gently supporting her young male intern and passing right by me to cut in line for emergency treatment. A nearby nurse quickly tried to smooth things over for her. “Dr. Sloan takes

"I wasn't expecting you so soon." "You know why I am here," I said. "Can I come in?" He stepped aside without a word. — His house was not what I expected. It was modest, almost ordinary. The furniture was worn but comfortable. Books were everywhere, stacked on tables, piled on the floor, crammed into shelves that had run out of space. There were no signs of the penthouse luxury. No glass walls. No designer furniture. Just a man who lived among his books like they were the only things that made sense to him.
