Owls Bookstore Novels & Stories

When they were out of the main drinking area, where the nightclubs and bars were located, Lucas allowed himself a small, satisfied smile. Ema would be pleased. After weeks of failure, they were positive that they would receive exactly what they had been looking for. Astor followed the smell to a little, independent bookshop nestled in between a thrift store and a vegan café. Over the door was a sign that proclaimed ‘Bookmark Haven’ in finely chipped gold paint. Indeed, the bookstore was closed, and all the windows in it were blind, but Lucas was convinced the individuals were still alive in the building.

"I didn't think you'd come this early. What happened?" "I wanted to surprise you." "Mom!" Nolan called out. I turned to her too "Aunt Leila." "Christy you're early today. But that's good. Very good. Remember I told you we have a werewolf community in Oslow here. Well, I forgot to mention that we have one of the biggest libraries on werewolves." "I'll introduce you to more werewolves in Oslow too. We have books on other supernatural beings too, vampires, witches, fae, elves, and so many other beings in their different realms. We are meeting today. Would you like to come?"

Raymond was pouring coffee, humming something soft under his breath, shirtless as usual, entirely too distracting. "What’s this?" I asked. He glanced over. "Read it." I unfolded the note. > Dear lovers, There is a bookstore in the village. Not just any bookstore. One where people leave pieces of themselves behind. Pages of poetry. Notes. Secrets. The owner lets you browse, read, and write your own. Consider it today’s adventure. —Mama Elsie I smiled so hard it hurt, “you planned this also right?” He nodded. --- Later That Morning The drive down was quiet.

I was wondering when he would want to know about that. “It’s not as exciting as you might think,” I said. “It began after Maxi died.” Thinking about that time was hard. Maxi had been an integral part of our friendship. When she died, both Leo and I lost a part of ourselves. We started the business on a whim. It was Leo’s idea. And I found Owl. I sometimes went to brothels to watch the women dance. Leo did not know about it. No one did. I had to learn the dance moves from somewhere. The way they moved their bodies was exquisite and artistic. I was in awe and longed to do it myself. I saw Owl there, betting on a scrawny looking man in a fight. The opponent was huge. I knew a bit about fighting

It was a refreshing change from talking about patients and their operations all the time. When it was time to leave for his meeting, Owen left her at the oldest establishment in town. A used bookstore specializing in rare and used books. While she was browsing, she thought of Mrs. Bennet and bought her a romantic novel set in France. Owen encouraged her to go around the square to shop for any trinkets or gift items she might want to purchase and promised to meet in an hour so he could show her the building he restored and introduce her to the owner of the restaurant.

It felt good to imagine being one of them again. I pulled up a list of nearby shops that were hiring. Nothing fancy. A bookstore. A small bakery. A florist. I decided to start with the bookstore. It was tucked between a laundromat and a pawn shop, the kind of place where time moved slowly. The sign read HARROW & SONS BOOKS, letters fading at the edges. I pushed open the door, and a bell chimed softly above me. Inside, it smelled of dust and old paper. A man behind the counter looked up, his glasses sliding down his nose.

Fortunately, with the melding of my twin wolves my size all but doubled and he suddenly realized that he was no match for this wolf. My wolf manages to raise up to a standing position while grabbing “Ethan’s” fur with a firm grip. Taking a running start backwards and smashing his entire body against the book shelf located across the room hearing a loud snapping of bones upon impact. My wolf lets go and turns around just in time to see “Ethan” fall to the floor. Then suddenly my office door comes flying open as several wolves run into the room including Jessie and Beta Femme Jacobs. They had heard the commotion in my office out in the hall.

he frowned as all the hair on his arm lifted. He followed the sensation, the sound of his boots on the quiet road until the streets narrowed and then he stopped. There were other quiet shops, spas, and a therapist center. But this building had unassuming, bricked, narrow windows. It was cute and then he glanced at the wooden sign swinging gently above the door. ‘Ivana's rare books and antiquities’ His dove came and settled on his shoulder and he glanced at it briefly like he could speak with it before deciding to step inside.

"Maybe they were close?" Owl's expression turned into a suspicious one. "Yvonne is hiding something from us." Asty looked at him. "What do you mean?" "Nothing." Owl pretended a laugh and poked the young woman's nose. "What are you doing this early outside?" he changes the topic. "I was just walking around." "Where's Chaol?" "He told me that he was gonna rest." "I see." Asty curiously looked at Owl. "By the way, Mr. Owl, how are you able to withstand the Sun?"

Asher hollowing deep in the back of my mind. “AAHHH!! What the fuck is that!?” Hunter almost falls into me as he backs away from the metal guardrail. I turn and see a large barn owl perched on the metal, completely unaffected by our presents. It was so unusual to see an owl this close up and so random. The colors of the feathers were unusual as well. They vaguely looked familiar for some reason. The owl flapped and preened its autumn color feathers as it continued to stare at each one of us. Its large yellow eyes glow against the moonlight. I breathed in and could faintly smell the most perfect scent in my life. The wonderful smell of spiced cider and orange. My heart raced wildly in my ches
