The Hound Of The Baskervilles Novel นิยาย & เรื่องราว

They stalked, their movements jerky and unnatural. “We can’t outrun them forever,” Eve gasped. Luca’s expression darkened. “Then we fight.” Damien unsheathed his claws. “Gladly.” But Eve wasn’t so sure. Something about the way the hounds moved, the way they watched her… They weren’t just hunting. They were waiting. For what? Her pulse spiked. For her to give in. *** The first hound lunged, a blur of black fur and snapping teeth. Damien was faster. He met the beast mid-air, his claws sinking deep into its flesh.

She told herself the faint tingle was her imagination, just as the hot dreams she’d been having the past few nights had been nothing more than memories of her girlish rescue fantasies with the temperature turned up by her adult experiences. She traced the raised lettering. A version of Red Riding Hood with the wolf as both sinner and seducer and the woodsman as the hero who saves the girl and takes her away from her old life to a new, better one. Seeing the book, touching it made her mother feel closer than she had in years. Even if it turned out to be just a copy, it was worth whatever she had paid.

Not wanting to be pedantic, I gave them a moment to come up with the answer on their own. Fawna furrowed her brow, and Adara shook her head. I hoped that one day I might look down on that head from above, as she kneeled before me with my cock in her mouth . . . . Neither knew the answer, so I said, a bit uncertainly, although I was very certain: “Agatha Christie, wasn’t it?” “That’s it,” said Fawna. “At her home in Devon?” asked Adara. I nodded. “At Greenway. Strange name for a house with a poison garden. Greenway.”

“First I’m a rabid wolf and now a savage beast. Is that how you plan on doing it? You’re just going to insult me to death?” “Not her, foolish human.” The god shook his head, messing up that perfect ebony hair of his. “I’m talking about him.” Even I had the sense to scoot back as a massive wolf sauntered in through the open doorway. Its fur was the color of fresh snow, made brighter by his eyes which were of the deepest, darkest blue. Its tongue flicked out to lick its muzzle. All the while it stalked Duncan with murderous intent. I might’ve felt bad for the guy if he wasn’t a raging, misogynistic prick.

No, he could have invented a thousand excuses. The main goal is clear. Fed up, Ruby's hot blood boiled every time the Baskerville police arrived. The vampire company dumped their food carcasses into the Basker forest near the northern wolves' residence. Whatever was found in the forest, the wolf village of Baskerville was an easy target for investigation. Even though they are always careful when hunting, the lives of northern wolves are threatened at the slightest gap. Ruby also has to keep Baskerville from being touched by humans.

Something massive crashed through the hedge below, and I dropped the last six feet, rolling, coming up with my back to the stone wall. The hound was enormous. Not an Academy breed. Not anymore. Its fur had gone patchy, falling away in clumps to reveal skin that glowed with corrupted moonlight - the silver-green of lunar poison, the kind that turned loyal beasts into weapons. Foam dripped from jaws that could crush a femur. Its eyes, once the warm brown of trained animals, were now void-black, reflecting nothing, hungry for anything that moved. Between me and the hound, a first-year girl had frozen.

Useful was the only kind of safe I’d ever been. That morning, the hellebore was blooming too fast. Three new flowers since yesterday, petals trembling on the north wall like they were bracing for something. I pressed my palm against the soil. Cold on top. Underneath, a faint sourness, like iron left in water too long. Sick soil grew desperate plants. And something in Brackenmoor had been wrong for weeks. Then the howl came from the east ridge. Not a patrol howl. I knew those the way I knew the seasons — by rhythm, by pitch, by what they asked of the wolves who heard them. This one was lower. Longer. It scraped along the base of my skull and stayed.

I slipped behind a broken section of wall, pressing myself flat against the stone. The footsteps passed. Two guards. Running. Running. That never happens. Guards don’t run. Not here. Not unless something is very wrong. I waited. Counted slowly in my head. Then I stepped out again. But this time… I didn’t go deeper. I turned back. Because something told me— Whatever was happening tonight… I wasn’t ready for it. Thorne POV The first wolf came from the left. Fast. Silent. Wrong move. I twisted just as it lunged, my claws tearing through its throat mid-air. Blood sprayed across my chest as its body crashed beside me.

I waited for an attack, but nothing happened, I watched as the eyes continued to stare, watching me. “Come out, I know you're there.” I told the creature. A large grey wolf walked out of the bushes and towards me. His amber eyes stayed on me as he moved closer. I sighed and put my weapon away, “Let me guess. You are one of the pack members?” The wolf nodded. “Why are you so far from the pack?” I asked curious, it would have taken a wolf a couple hours to get this far.

I did a little twirl in the middle of the room and started combing the bookshelves to see what treasures I could find. I was just too excited to have found this place. I came across a smaller leather-bound book that had a weird symbol on the front and when I opened it, I realized that it was a history of the Hunter's. I decided to keep that book just in case I needed it. I was totally in my own world when I felt someone’s arms go around me and breath in my ear. "I see you found my favorite place in the house." My body shivered at the contact. I thought that I was going to melt into a puddle right then and there.
