The Art Of War Book Pages Novels & Stories

She pulled it out, sneezed once as dust motes tickled her nostrils, and lowered the book on the coffee table. The title was written in cursive gold letters, 'The Art Of The Body'.

The book contained explicit diagrams of men and women in different, erotic, sexual poses.

~ Flashback ~ ~ 2 days ago ~ ~ 2:34 pm ~ × Trix × As I flip through the pages in front of me and realize that a war is indeed coming, I let out a growl. The weight of the realization bears down on me, and I can almost feel the thick clouds of conflict gathering over our pack. The old, dusty book lies open on the table and I wondered how long the book has existed. Definitely way before my parent's parent's existence.

he responded, whipping his head around in my direction. "Okay, check them,” I ordered. I buried my face down and ran my eyes through the books, then I saw one that caught my attention. "Realms of the Shifting Shadows: Tales of Fantasy and Fur"’ was boldly written on the binding of the book. The book has intricate designs of werewolves under a glowing moon. I picked up the book and opened the first page, which had been aged. I couldn't tell how long this must have been here. The first page I opened was blank.

He was at war with our love. Because in the midst of this chaos, Darren and I had found each other — truly, honestly.

From the back of her mind dziadzia’s (pronounced jah-jah, which meant grandfather in Polish) voice whispered a platitude that sent a shard of pain through her as she’d heard it so clearly it felt like he was by her side. It was an oft quoted line from Sun Tzu’s The Art of War, one of the earliest books on strategy he’d had her learn when he first started tutoring her.
