The Knowing Book Novels & Stories

There were probably more bookshelves out of frame, maybe a table and a few recliners. He zoomed in on the bookshelves, a cautious admiration replacing his uneasiness. It was a stirring shot of books—knowledge, understanding, intellect—destroyed by something so basic as time and the elements. Some of the books were intact, while others were swollen with damp, pages likely stuck together, ink smudged and unreadable. This was a good picture. He could already imagine the narration for it (a whole bit about time and nature overcoming knowledge) in his final project. “Hell yeah,” he whispered as he panned left. “In the zone again, finally . . . shit!”

“That so?” And my stomach dropped again “Yeah,” I said, trying to keep her voice steady and he nodded slowly, like he was humoring me and didn’t believe her at all “Right,” he murmured as he turned and walked out just like that, leaving the door slightly open behind him, leaving me with my heart racing and miind spinning because that didn’t feel random or like a guess, it felt targeted I looked at my journal, then back at the door and a slow, uneasy feeling crept in, it felt cold and unsettling, almsost impossible to ignore because now it wasn’t just a thought anymore or just overthinking. It was a question, a real one, one that refused to let my mind be and refused to go away. HOW DID HE KN

Because Vincent would never give up his title and everything he’s achieved, go against the council and high assembly and against the laws of packs and wolves just to be with me. What we shared was forbidden. A truth clear as daylight. I pulled the book again, and he finally let it go. “Why the sudden interest?” “Knowledge is power. I think I deserve some of that,” “Yeah well, this type of knowledge could be dangerous. It’s almost..endless. You must have a purpose to see through and understand what you’re reading about,” “Thank you.” I clutched the book with my arms around my chest. “But I don’t need lectures,” I said and moved.

When he saw my name as the sender, the tight knot in his chest loosened slightly. But when he opened the package, the first thing he saw was a medical report. His eyes lit up with a surge of excitement. I was pregnant with his pup! But right after that, he saw the medical certificate of abortion and the signed mate bond dissolution agreement. He collapsed to the floor, completely shattered. Judy rushed over and snatched the documents from his hands. Once she saw the medical certificate of abortion, she snapped, "That cursed woman dared to harm the Alpha bloodline of our pack! Luckily, I still have another precious grandson!"

Geraldine’s Point of View We walked in silence, my footsteps trailing after Sir Kenzo’s. I couldn’t help but feel excitement bubble in my chest at the thought of finally stepping inside the library. Books! Endless shelves of stories, wisdom, and knowledge. It was like a dream for me. Suddenly, his deep voice broke the silence. “True wisdom is not measured by how much you know, but by your ability to grow and learn from what you do not know. Tell me, what does that mean?”

It was as if every piece of knowledge that could be useful in this world had been gathered and preserved here, waiting to be used by those who needed it. My fingers moved slowly across the shelves until they stopped on one particular title. Herb Remedies & Elixirs. The moment I read the words, something shifted inside me. It wasn’t just recognition—it was something deeper, sharper. Images flooded my mind without warning, vivid and overwhelming. A small room, dimly lit, with books scattered across a bed. Pages filled with notes written in hurried handwriting. My hands holding one of those books, flipping through it quickly, trying to memorize something important. The feeling of pressure, of n

“It is a very rare book and I know that there are not very many copies left of it as most of them were destroyed by some that thought the contents gave away too many secrets. It is called ‘The book of Forbidden Supernatural Knowledge’.” “I don’t have that book in my library, but I believe that King Noah has a copy in his Royal library… What are you researching?” “Mates…” “What about mates would be in that book that isn’t in the two I have already given you?” I’m not sure if I want to admit that I am thinking of rejecting my claim over his sister and her claim over me, but then, as I reasoned before, it would allow her to find a better match for herself. I guess I took too long to answer as h

She had no idea what she was doing. "She's special, Dean." Her mother said. If she knows the words in the book then she's connected to it somehow. We've hidden this book for years and I'm sure she has never set eyes on it. How does she know to write this?" "It is hers you know. It's no surprise she can understand it. What I don't understand is how Alpha kelvin and his people found out of the existence of such a book. They seemed to know that we have it. There's something big going on."

The knowing had been sitting in the same place as all the other knowings, the temperature catalogue and the almost-smile and the rooftop and the document with three words at the top. The knowing didn’t require the words yet. But when the words came, and they would come, I was going to be ready to receive them. Not as a transaction. Not as performance. Just as a woman who had walked into a restaurant fifteen weeks ago and frozen in a doorway and proposed a deal and had ended up somewhere she hadn’t planned for and had decided, at some point between the bench in the cold and the drawer with the list, that the unplanned destination was the one she wanted.

My legs felt as heavy as concrete, and I could not move a single step. [Does anyone understand the genius behind the female lead's gift? A pillow creates closeness without feeling too flirty, and it perfectly targets the male lead's weak spot!] [Our female lead isn't just thoughtful, she really knows boundaries too.] [If I remember right, the pillow the male lead's using now was bought by the side character, wasn't it? Looks like it's about to be replaced by the female lead's gift.] [Exactly how it should be! First replace the things the side character gave him, then replace her too.]
