Romans & histoires Silent Night Book

In one place, there was thunder and lightning, while in another, the night sky was clear with starlight. With the thunder rumbling and my heart beating far too fast, I collapsed inside my own closet.

Night settled on us like a bedsheet someone suddenly throws over you—heavy, muffled, smothering every sound. I didn’t know what woke me first. The cold concrete beneath my back, Sadira’s steady breathing against my chest, or that strange, taut silence in which even my own heartbeat felt like an intrusive noise. By reflex, I didn’t move. I only opened my eyes and let my demon-sight adjust to the darkness.

Not now, not after everything. Lina flipped through a final set of pages in the old book, and I watched her lips move as she read the words silently. The quiet of the room seemed deafening. The sound of my breathing, the boys’ occasional shifts of weight, and the soft rustling of Lina’s pages were the only things that broke the silence.

I woke to silence. The deep, muffled silence of snow. The storm had passed. Gray-white light filtered through the window, illuminating the room. I was warm. Deliciously, perfectly warm. Lorenzo’s arm was still a heavy, solid weight around my waist, his chest a wall of heat against my back. His breathing was slow and even against my neck.

Kylie’s POV. The dead of night enshrouded the room, a blanket of silence so profound it seemed the world outside had ceased to exist. Every corner was bathed in shadows, and the only sound was the rhythmic whisper of my own breath, harmonizing with the distant hum of the city. The night had wrapped its serene, dreamlike calm around me—a stark contrast to the sudden unease that prickled at the back of my neck, an instinctive warning that the peace was about to be shattered.

Eleven: Silence Cecilia POV I woke to the kind of silence that feels too heavy, like the house itself was holding its breath. Sunlight slanted through the curtains in my room, painting stripes across the duvet, but there was no clatter from the kitchen, no sizzle of bacon or the rich aroma of coffee brewing. It was more than just quiet; it was a stillness that settled in my chest, cold and strange.

The silence in the primary suite stretched until it became its own kind of pressure. Elara stood where Kai had left her, the image of the open bedroom door still burned behind her eyes—her husband’s cock disappearing between the pierced girl’s lips, her newly adult son’s mouth working between another woman’s thighs, the four bodies moving between the two men without shame or hesitation. The tears had dried into tight tracks on her cheeks. Shock had begun to harden into something sharper. She looked at him and the word formed first in the quiet of her mind, clear and absolute.

--- The Forgotten Name That night, she dreamed again—but this dream was not her own. She stood on a field of endless night. The stars were gone. Even the moonlight could not reach this place. Something moved in the dark—massive, soundless, ancient. When it spoke, it was not a voice. It was an idea pressed directly into her thoughts. > You have opened what was meant to sleep. Kimberly turned, her body trembling. “Who are you?” > The First Silence, it said. The breath before the Heart. The darkness rippled like water disturbed by a single drop.

Silent. Burning.

The woman shook her head. "I'm fighting what is coming." Suddenly, the darkness behind her cracked. A sound emerged. Not a scream. Not a roar. A breath. The entire Outside trembled. The First Dream appeared beside Evelyn. "Mother..." The woman looked at her. "Little one." "Is it awake?" "Yes." Hope's face went pale. "What is awake?" The woman answered: "The Silence." The Keeper immediately turned. "We need to leave." "Where?" "Anywhere." "There is nowhere."
