Sweet Home Libraries Novels & Stories

The delicate fragrance of blossoms mingled with the earthy scent of the old books, creating a sensory symphony that enchanted anyone who entered. In the center of the library, a long, exquisitely carved wooden table was set with an array of culinary delights fit for a king. Silver platters held an assortment of fruits, cheeses, and pastries, their colors and textures a feast for the eyes. Crystal goblets brimming with sweet nectar sparkled in the soft light, inviting guests to savor the flavors of Arodona.

“No doubt.” “What about those two small FedEx boxes?” “Most recent novels from Samhain Horror.” “Awesome. Those books I bought at the Webb County Library sale last week?” “Sorted into general and mystery fiction. Struck the mother lode with all those Mary Higgins Clark novels.” “We cater to all tastes, miss. Unless you like Twilight, 50 Shades of Gray or James Patterson. Folks want drivel, they can drive to Utica.” “Hey. I actually liked Twilight. It wasn’t all bad.”

I waited patiently as I heard the big doors of the library being thrown open. “So they’re selling their she wolves now?” he growled low and menacing. I could here the echo of his growl bounce around the vast library, I could smell the books from here. We held the largest collection of pre war literature and our library was preserved like you walked back in time. I missed home then, I had never wanted to be Beta, second in command is a lot and I had wanted a quiet life. But the moon mother had other ideas for me. “Tom!” Alec shouted. I could hear a faint reply and Alec was moving a ladder inside the library.

“Don’t be like that sweetie. He’s finishing up practice with Liam and Denver. They’ll be here soon. Let’s go and chill in another room.” We manage to make our way through the kitchen back into the entrance area and across through another set of double doors. This leads us into a library. It’s stacked with shelves upon shelves of books, there are two red sofas in the room forming an L-shape. Tall vases stand in two corners filled with beautiful flowers. I bet my mother would know what they are, I haven’t got a clue unless it’s roses, carnations or tulips. Which are my favorite.

Southpoint Pack never failed to make me feel like a fumbling idiot. The door swung open, somehow silent despite its size, and the smell hit me first. Old paper. Dust. Then something else. Ancient. Sacred. The libraries in Evenmoor didn’t smell like this. Sure, there was the scent of old paper, dust, and older people's perfume, but there was something beneath all that. Could it have been the magic that these people used? Or some werewolf scent? I stepped inside and— Oh. Books. Thousands of them. Floor to ceiling, wall to wall. More books than I’d ever seen in my entire life. More books than existed in all of Evenmoor combined.

The cool evening air felt nice on my skin after being stuck in the restaurant all day, and talking with my best friend always made everything feel lighter. We strolled side by side, holding hands, gossiping about everything and nothing. We laughed about the professor who always smelled like coffee and old books, roasted the girl in our literature class who kept trying to flirt with the TA, and I even told her how stressed I was about balancing school and that stupid job. Susie listened like she always did. She really listened and made me laugh until my cheeks hurt. Before I knew it, we were standing in front of her house. Well… 'house' was an understatement. Susie’s family mansion rose up in

Katherine responds, but Lily doesn't give in until Macken signals the two to be quiet and enjoy their meal together. Kenny took out his phone to take a picture as a souvenir. The whole room was warm, making everyone smile with happiness. At this point, Katherine and Lily quietly listened to Macken's story. He said that each dish has its own story, just as everyone has their own story. Finding a delicious dish does not need to be too extravagant and rare, but just a dish that makes us feel good, just like finding a person next to you, you don't need them to be perfect, just them. It makes us feel warm. Macken believes that outside the door of the house, no matter how stormy it is, inside, as

Hot coffee slipped off the table and fell on her feet, flushing her ankles red. The only explanation Laura could muster up for Mike’s rejection is that Sarah must be in a sexual relationship with him. What else could be the reason behind him calling her a whore? Or shove her out of the house half-naked, in the middle of the night? “I can’t find these materials that are listed as in stock. Would you mind coming with me for a double-check at the warehouse? Maybe a second set of eyes could be helpful” Sarah leads the way with Mike on her tail and indeed, the materials that are supposed to be in stock are not in the warehouse and the project is ongoing. The bags under Sarah’s eyes was enough for

There was a low hum of conversation near the kitchen as I passed, the scent of grilled meat and spices drifting through the air. Selene might have skipped lunch again…she did that sometimes when she was thinking too hard. I had to remind myself to make sure she ate something later. The Denizen library was not as large as the ones kept by the royal bloodlines, but it had something far more valuable…information. We had a lot of old books, even forbidden manuscripts… all kept under careful lock and ward and only accessible to those I trusted. As I pushed open the huge library doors, a quiet hush settled over me like a second skin. The scent of books, ink, and old wood filled my nose, grounding

“So once you drink this portion, any page you glance at, you will remember everything.” Once i take the portions, we go to the Lakewood mansion library so i can go through some of the books. It’s either this or I blow my cover and everyone will think I’m as dumb as a rock. “I come bearing gifts,”Andrea comes into the library with a tray containing cookies, sweets and coffee. “Thank you girl, you’re a darling!” Nic exclaims. “Shhh, you’re going to wake everyone in the house,” i shush him. “Girl relax anyways you need to give us an update on how it’s been with Mr you know who.”
