Once Book Novels & Stories

Silas’s Point of View Cardinal Valenki had set it up for me to go to the library I requested and after checking in, someone led me to where I needed to go. I have my reference number for the book stack and number of the book, which was book twelve twelve. I didn’t have an author name or any additional information. I found the stack I needed and the book twelve twelve was wedged between two much larger books, I pulled out the book it was a small leather-bound book with nothing on the cover. I opened the first page and the inner page read. ‘The disbandment of the seven.’

I help her lift it up, and that is when we see the book that is just sitting there in the sand. I hear Nova's breathing seize. “What's that?” She asks, her voice barely above a whisper. I look around one more time, making sure that we aren't being watched, as I pull the book out of the sand, dusting off the cover. There isn't a name. As I open the book and flip through the pages, they are slightly damp, with almost all the pages empty. I get to the middle, and that is when I see the first drop of ink in the book. The handwriting is more or less scribbling, but I can clearly read everything.

Enzo’s POV I chewed on the inside of my cheek as I stared down at the book. Simply Elemental, it was called: a battered old paperback that looked as though it had been passed around a lot, the spine bent out of shape, the corners dog-eared. I picked up the scrap of paper that had fallen from it and went to tuck it back inside the cover. I paused, the paper curling in my palm. I could look at it. Just quickly. Nobody would ever know…

"Oh my God, where should I start?" 'Mine is happy,' Ash whispered, and Duncan’s lips twitched slightly—barely. "Come with me," Duncan gestured, leading her further inside. "Oh my! Is that what I think it is?" Arianna gasped at the sight of a dark green leather-bound book—one she would recognize anywhere. "You know it?" Duncan arched a brow. "Yes, of course!" She tried to reach for it, but she wasn’t tall enough, so Duncan helped her. "Thanks," she smiled at him, then looked down at the book. "The Ballads of the Ancients."

As she’s about to leave the room, someone called. “Hey, I’m leaving the hotel. My car service is waiting,” she talked to the person on the other line. “I can’t wait to see you here. We’ve so much to see and talk about,” Noah said. Cela gave her room one final look. This is the place where she leaves her old self. “We wanted to go to a specific place and it didn’t matter if the road was rough and the journey was long. In the end, we found different places for ourselves but these places were the destinations where we were truly meant to go,” she said to herself. The fourth book begins at chapter 1 in Paris. The End.

I squeezed his hand. “I can’t wait.” Smiling back at him. He stopped studying my face and I think he knew there was something different about it but he wasn’t quite sure. He still went back to the book. “So he brought this because it has the name of your grandmother and father in the book.” “What? It does? Where?” I started scanning immediately and Rogan so kindly pointed to where I now read.

He shuffled through every book, analysing each one before gently placing it down to examine the next. ‘Ev, if you tell me what book it is you’re looking for, I can help you find it.’ Slowly looking up at me, his head tilted to the side, ‘Amelia darling, it’s a book written by a werewolf hundreds of years ago. Respectfully, I highly doubt you’ll even know it by the name.’ ‘Try me,’ I shrugged. He smiled, looking down into the box, then locked eyes with me again, ‘Well, you may know one. I’m looking for a first edition of The Alpha’s Roar.’

I gasped sharply as the tip of his finger slipped inside my wet cunt. My entire body clenched around him instantly. Tears burned at the corners of my eyes from the sudden pleasure as I struggled to breathe through the feeling of his fingers moving slowly inside me. “Or,” he continued teasingly, “did you follow instructions because you secretly wanted this?” Goodness, It was true. The note his secretary had handed me earlier had included one ridiculous instruction: 'Don’t wear panties.' I had every intention of ignoring it. Yet somehow, before knocking on his penthouse door, I had slipped them off anyway and shoved them into my purse like some desperate, obedient girl.

There was only a single, leather-bound notebook. The title embossed in gold foil read: How to Build an Empire From Nothing. ​Beneath the notebook lay a handwritten letter. Dizer unfolded the paper carefully, and the very first line caused tears to immediately well up in her eyes: ​My dearest Dizer... If you're reading this, it means life has already broken your heart... but I know it has not broken your spirit. As Dizer struggled through her tears to continue reading the letter, a loud, violent crash suddenly echoed from right outside the warehouse.

Master Alejandro questioned suddenly out of nowhere with his deep husky tipsy tone while tilting his head a little to the right, still staring at his woman who still had her eyes down on her book, silently for few minutes. Captivated by the looks, she made the book her choose without having any idea what was it. Looking decent the book was said to be the best seller of 1930s, that's all she knew. Madam Genelia heard many famous mentions about it but never she got the chance to read it before, hence discovering it here in the library she grabbed it without any second thought. "Royal Bones are Holy Sinners." Madam Genelia was still having her eyes down on the book while she replied blankly to
