Take Me Back Book Novels & Stories

“You know, just because we talked doesn't mean we're friends.” His frown appeared again, “I'm not asking to be your friend.” He arched his brow, as if asking why I'd even say that. Was I overthinking things? I just didn't want any familiarity between us. We were over and done. Yes, thank you for not making me live with the guilt of having blood on my head but we can move on with our lives like we planned to do before. “Okay.” “I'm asking that you take me back.” Spoke too fucking soon! “Excuse me?”

Rowan rode beside me with his shoulders relaxed for the first time in weeks, but my stomach twisted tighter with every mile the car covered. I had asked to come back here not because the Veil felt too exposed or because the Shadow Council’s scouts were closing in. I came back because something older than fear pulled me. A memory. A book. A promise my mother made when I was small enough to fit in her lap. The book that the elders at the Veil spoke off in hushed tones, the book that could help me master my powers. The pack greeted us with cautious bows and murmured welcomes. Rowan got out of the car first and offered his hand. I took it but let go the moment my boots touched gravel. Eyes follo

“I’ll write back.” I buy a small paperback on the way out because I want to put money into a place that gave me my breath back for an hour. The cashier gives me a free bookmark that says, You are already the story. I want to cry again. I don't. I put it in the book like a secret.

All he knew was that he needed to be back in the house that still carried traces of me. Raymond contacted everyone he knew, pulling every string to find me. He didn't want to hear anything else, only news about me. As he wandered through our home, he took in every little detail. Every piece of furniture, every picture frame—we'd picked them out together. It had taken time to make this place feel like home. But now, I was gone, and I hadn't taken a single thing with me. I left behind everything, every memory for him to relive alone.

I can't stop smiling, my legs feeling weak, my body feeling weak from last night and this morning. Leaving Lustful Surrender, we drive back to his, my mind peaceful for a change, no questions, no worries. Arriving at his, we walk to the kitchen. He smiles, standing there cooking. I can't believe how lucky I had got. To think I was just going to walk away from him. I am crazy. Sean is hard to explain; he has changed me in a good way. He brought back the old me. I lost, but somehow, he makes the bad seem fine, easy to deal with almost.

"Every time I try to take some kind of control over my life, I end up with fewer answers and more bruises. Not this time. If you don't want to help me, fine! This book has even a chance of leading me home, I'm not giving it up either." Her lips parted, ready to scold me but she didn't. She just looked at me, tired now of arguing back and forth with me. "Then you're more naive than I thought. That book wasn't meant for finding your way back, Iris. It was meant for calling things forward." "Stop trying to confuse me! At least it responded to me, didn't it?" I held up my half, "If it wasn't meant for me, then why is it listening?"

"Take us back to our son! Close the book and let us live in the silence!" "I can't take you back, Silas," the Author said, his voice dropping to a low, melodic vibration. "The 'Reader' has already 'Completed' the purchase. To the system, your story is 'Closed Content'. If I send you back now, you'll be 'Static'—a glitch that the next 'Update' will delete."

Dear readers, I want to apologize for not updating yesterday. I took my baby for her Penta 1 vaccination, and she wasn't feeling well afterward, so I had to give her my full attention and couldn't write. Thank you all for your patience, understanding, and for staying with me throughout this journey. Your support means so much to me. Also, please check out my new book, Too Late To Take Me Back, Alpha. I promise it's a story you'll love!

“I'm taking you back to the mansion. It's time you come back…” Raina froze…

"Yes. It was." I go back to my book.
