Taken Books Novels & Stories

Low and urgent. I unlock the door and Kaleb steps inside. He’s carrying a stack of leather-bound books that smell of dust and centuries-old magic. He kicks the door shut behind him and locks it again. "I emptied the restricted section," he says, dumping the books onto the rocking chair. "Everything we have on blood magic, binding rituals, and the Faction history." "Did anyone see you?" I want to believe that the pack will always be loyal to their Alpha, but who knows what Madilyn is capable of.

spell took time to wear off. "What do you want?" He stared right at me. "If you're going to drink my blood, get it over with." "Drink your blood?" I chuckled. "Your Highness, you're underestimating your own value." I stood and walked to a bookshelf, brushing the dust from a heavy tome. "Look at these." I pulled out a copy of The Prince, its pages filled with notes in an ancient script. "Do you recognize this language?" Adrian frowned and shook his head.

My hands clenched to my bag. Aleric walked with some bunch of books in his hands. I felt a little tightness in my chest at the sight of him and the flash back of how I tried to seduce him played in my head with no regrets. “You have to go through all of these today." He said as he got closer and dropped the stack of books on the desk. “What?” I asked, confused. “Everything you might need to know is in there.” He said with a straight face. “You’ll have me read books? That’s it?” I felt my anticipated heart drop to my stomach.

After completing the task, I pour myself another drink and head to the library to gather all the books that discuss prophecies. As I walk through the shelves of the library, I can feel the weight of the books in my hands. I scan the titles, searching for any that might hold the answers I seek. My eyes land on a thick, leather-bound tome with the word "Prophecies" etched in gold on the cover. I pull it from the shelf and flip through the pages, my heart racing with anticipation. As I read through the ancient texts, I begin to piece together the clues that will help me unravel the mystery of the prophecy. The words on the page seem to come alive, swirling and dancing before my eyes. I lose tra

Explict scene below. Read at your own risk. Daniel Natalia and I had gotten boxes to pack up the apartment. My offer was accepted by the buyer and if nothing wrong was found when the title company did their routine search, then we would be moving in a few weeks. If I was able to pay cash, maybe I could have sped the process up but as in all large purchases, all i's had to be dotted and all the t's crossed.

I said, and Rick nodded as he walked to the center of the room and dropped into a chair. My fingers glide along the books as I read their titles. I pull one out, glance at the first few pages, and then slip it back into its place before continuing. “Hmmm,” I hummed as I squatted to see the books at the bottom. My fingers glide along the books, and my heart stops when I read one of the titles, “How to Reject a Mate and the Consequences that Follow.” Slowly, I pulled the book from its slot and flipped through a few pages.

“Sorry to dIsturb you young lady but the lIbrary is closSheng Shen 15 mInutes.” “That’s ok She was just packSheng up ma’am.” “Don’t worry about puttSheng those books away.

We scatter all the books and found plenty of titles that start with the letter that is written on the sticky note beside where we will enter the passcode. Marina got four books that start with the letter A and eight L. Mine got six P and five M out of the categories on the bookshelf. "Is this still even working?" I asked and she nodded. "We got 6485" Then the books split like an opening curtain in a theater after pressing the digits we found. The floorboards in the office rumble slightly as it opens. "Good job, boy," She said and then slammed her palm against my back. I beamed.

she asked opening her eyes and running her eyes over and over again through the library. "I have no idea where to start," she said again. "Let's start there" Kieran said pointing to what looked like a front desk. "Hello welcome to the international bookstore Library" Another peppy girl said. Arabella thought about how smart the owners or the place were. The girls at each station somehow made the ambience better than it should have felt. "Hello" Arabella said. "How can I help you?" "What services do you offer?" "You can rent books to read and return them after your time elapses like a normal Library. We also offer in-read services" the girl explained.

I followed behind him, carrying the beautiful-covered book, afraid that if I let go, it might disappear. We stood in line, and the library felt busier than it had that morning. The sound of footsteps, hushed voices, and the scent of old paper warmed my heart. “Buying that book?” Liam asked, looking at the cover. I nodded. “I’m afraid I’ll forget the details of the image or suddenly lose inspiration. So it’s better to take it home.” Liam hummed softly, the tone of his agreement clear. When it was finally our turn, I handed the book to the clerk. She scanned it efficiently and smiled politely.
