The Book Beat Novels & Stories

Instead, he ordered the thugs to drag me into a dark alley. It was a place he often used for his attacks since it was secluded and rarely trafficked. They pinned me to the ground and beat me. I didn’t resist, even spitting out a mouthful of blood. Even the comments online were panicking. [Wow, this destroys my worldview. I can’t believe the original book’s male lead is so disgusting. Isn’t this just school bullying? The supporting character just started his comeback. Don’t tell me he’s going to end up dead in a dark alley like in the original book.]

With those final words, my breath left me. Magnus let out a raw, anguished cry. He raised his hand high and slammed it against his own head, ending his life beside me. … Elsewhere, Victor was busy with state affairs when one of his men approached. "President Lorant, the scouts report that the zombie queen has passed away—and the zombie king took his own life beside her." Victor's hand froze around his pen. For a long time, he didn't react. At last, he spoke softly. "Got it…"

hurry up until the roots can keep him still! I communicated telepathically with Alfonso. Without any further argument, Alfonso did as I told him. A loud growl escaped the lips of the gigantic creature while struggling to disengaged. Alfonso did the last strike by beheading the beast, and the head fells to the ground, rolling over straight into Alfonso's feet.

“Maybe I wanted to see you, to reassure myself you were all right.” “And that I wouldn’t report you.” “Who to? Alpha Joseph?” “He’d have been jealous, that’s for sure.” “If I’m honest downloading the books gave me chance to calm down. My anxiety levels were through the roof.” “I don’t believe you,” I said. “You’re never stressed.” This was tantamount to a row but it was making me feel good to say it, though the “asshole” comment had probably crossed a line. And I didn’t want to give him any ideas!

“... You will know better than trying to attack me. You can try to do so and you would see if your heads won't be cut off. Try this out and you won't live to tell the story.” Beatrice's maids gazed at themselves intensely. They stopped looking at me and instead, they attended to Beatrice. “Out of my way!” I shouted at them. The maids scampered out of the way and I gained free entrance. I went my own way triumphantly. I had already made my return and it was in a grand state. I knew this would let Beatrice know that I wasn't the person she used to know before. . I got to the library and found some books to read. I did this slowly and thought while I did this.

Alena nods listening. "The fact that being physically hurt didn't faze me just made them more pissed off. I got some of them life, so they wanted a reaction out of me. One of them suggested they rape me, hearing it I freaked out, and they got a reaction. They found the one way that caused a reaction from me, they used that way. Had I acted like it was nothing like being beaten, maybe it wouldn't have happened, or at least not so much." Alena is staring at him, her eyes glancing at Jackson, clearly thinking the same I did.

Billy said happily. "By the way, thank you for your assistance, Billy. Send my greetings to Chef Milo," Hero said. "We'll be heading out now." Billy informally saluted him. "Yes, sir. Thank you for coming. And it's nice meeting you, ma'am." "It's nice meeting you too. Thank you." Aurelie smiled before waving her hand to say goodbye to Billy. Right after Hero showed Aurelie the main cafeteria, they went to the last room in Building B which is the BROTHERS' room that has an acronym of BROS.

(AIRA’S WORDS) “ONE AFTER THE OTHER. I WILL MAKE SURE THAT I WILL HAVE THIS PIECE ON MY SIDE. WITH THE PROVOKING AND TWO. JUST WAIT FOR ME, MY DEAR LITTLE ROOK.” Beatrice laugher echoes, then it slowly turning into a maniacal one and getting louder and louder by each passing moment. All now with her idea inside her mind of who among the characters in this book and world will she be taking as her next prey.

When my shift ended, I found myself walking toward the corner table where Kael sat, his laptop closed now, a book in his hands. I stopped short when I saw the cover. ‘Knot We Cannot Untie.’ That was the book he was holding. I can't believe that Kael would be reading one of Linda Lively’s books. “You read… this?” I said, the surprise evidently in my voice. Kael looked up, one brow raised. “Why? You think I only read racing magazines and bank statements?” I gave a small laugh. “Chill bro. It’s just… not what I was expecting ”

We were surprised when he told us that he would pursue the medicine. “What?” he raised an eyebrow. I rolled my eyes. “Can you hide that thick book of yours?” his thick eyebrows met and shook his head on me. “This is our family dinner, so keep that book. Is that what you’re going to eat, huh?” His lips protruded. “Just get your cam, Ms. President.” I sharply eyed him. The side of his lips lifted. I frowned when I saw that. This med guy is a bully! He tapped the space beside him. I scoffed and sat down next to him. I stared at his thick book, wincing. I wonder how he manages to read the whole book. So thick. I think it was even thicker than Worth’s face.
