Novel & Cerita The Librarian Spy

A portal into a world I’d only ever read about in books. Now, I found excuses and gaps in my timetable to sneak in here. The only place where the whispers and the glares stopped, where I could just shut my brain off in peace. “Hale!” The librarian’s voice made me jolt. “You need to leave.” She was an older lady with greying hair and large spectacles that magnified her hawk like eyes. She reminded me of the librarian from Monsters University. “Yes,” I said quickly, scooping the thick history textbook in my arms. “I’m leaving. Just putting this back.”

He stared down at it, then at me, shock flickering across his features before the fight dragged his focus back to the next threat. “NEW FUNCTION DETECTED,” the librarian snarled, voice crackling. “CORRUPTED AUTHOR. ILLEGAL EDIT.” A volley of books arced toward us. I didn’t have time to parse titles. Burn, I thought, flinging the idea like a shield. Flame licked the edges of a chunk of them mid‑flight.

The security guard stamped my notebook like it might try to run away, and the elevator deposited me in a quiet that smelled like newsprint, toner, and warm metal. Investigating used to be my religion. The rituals came back without asking: sharpen pencil; tie hair up; silence phone; breathe like you’re about to dive and need the oxygen later. I told Victor I was going to “check a few things” and he nodded, distracted by attorneys and capture chains. I didn’t ask permission and he didn’t offer warnings. That’s our language now—mutual restraint, elective disclosure. A librarian with a lanyard full of enamel pins smiled at me over the desk. Her name tag said Mora and her cardigan said I know whe

They were dark, fathomless, the kind of gaze that stripped you bare without even trying. "But now, Sabrina, it’s time to see if you’re truly worthy of my trust." Worthy. The word struck me harder than it should have. I hated how much I craved his approval, how it burrowed under my skin like a parasite. "What’s the job?" I asked, keeping my voice as flat as possible. Viktor leaned back in his chair, studying me like I was an equation he hadn’t yet solved. "There’s a man. Low-level, but annoyingly resourceful. He’s been feeding information to our competitors. A rat, scurrying around where he doesn’t belong."

When morning arrived, we were up early, eager to visit the librarian and gain more insight into the prophecy. The librarian’s shop was just as quaint as before, its exterior lined with ivy and its windows obscured by heavy drapes. We stepped inside, the familiar jingle of the bell announcing our arrival. “Hello?” Quinton called out. “We’re here to continue our research.” The elderly librarian emerged from the back room, her expression curious as she took in our presence. “Good morning. How can I assist you today?” “We’re seeking more information about the prophecy and the hidden power it speaks of,” I said. “We need more details to understand what we’re dealing with.”

"Any sign of her?" "Not certain." Hunter fell into step beside me. "Though I saw Willa heading from the greenhouse toward the library this morning. Given how close they are... the female spy must be in the library since she ain't with the crew that returned.” I nodded, already turning toward the library wing. "Find me if anything comes up." The library doors were already open when I arrived, and the scene that greeted me made my wolf pause. Willa had her arms wrapped around the she-wolf, her face buried in her shoulder.

But before he could show the wolf his place, Erica had intervened. As he sat in his office, pondering and going over their earlier conversation, he heard a knock on the door. He looked up to see Jade sauntering in. Xavier did not bother to ask the reason for her visit. Jade sat back before saying, "Heard that you guys caught the spy, or rather Drake caught him". She waited for his reply with a raised eyebrow, but at that moment, the spy situation was at the back of his mind. He simply nodded before turning back his gaze to the laptop screen. He had access to the catalogue to their mansion library, even though the catalogue did not contain every book, he decided to take a quick look.

“Something that belongs here. Something that hasn't moved in ten thousand years.” The movement solidified. From between two towering rows of archives, a figure emerged. It was skeletal and hunched, its ancient robes stiffened and saturated with the glowing silver dust. Its movements were dry and rapid, a soundless skittering that raised the hairs on Evangeline’s neck. Where its eyes should have been, there were only empty, bone-white sockets, yet they fixed instantly on the intruders. “A Wyrd Librarian,” Selene hissed, drawing a long, slender silver dagger. “They were scholars sworn to protect the archive. They look… petrified.”

Linda Stern arrived at the library just after seven, dressed for the lead role in The Clichéd Spy. She wore tight black jeans, a shapeless hooded jacket that might’ve been trendy in 1997, a black acrylic scarf was wrapped around her blonde head like she was about to rob a petrol station. The sunglasses would be a nice touch, but Linda reckoned that would be too Men in Black. The library door had a handwritten sign taped to it: “Closed for Technical Reasons.” That might as well have said, “Suspicious activity happening here—please sniff around with care.”

As he walked into the library which had a majestic staircase which curved and veered upwards onto other floors stacked with books, like a toothpick with lots of grilled pork attached to it. “You have to drop your bags over - there,” the chief librarian - a fat woman who found it hard to breath and spoke through her nose said. “We appreciate bibliophiles and bibliomaniacs but not thieves.” Gerey stuttered for a second. How was he going to smuggle Jeyrin in. Little did he know that...
