The Library Novels & Stories

I pay half of my tuition every month and every time the registrar asks me not to pay it anymore since I’m the CEO’s girlfriend, I always ask them not to tell Lucifer about it because he will surely get mad at me for doing it. “I will borrow all these books.” The woman said, wearing a thick spec.. “Okay, just write your name here and let me borrow your library card for a while.” This library is quite bigger than the Chasung High library, it has taller shelves and larger space making it somewhat hard for me to sort all of the books. I don’t want Lucifer to know that I’m working as a library here because I’m sure that if he ever knew about this, he would probably make me stop. I don’t want to b

He interrupts my reflection, irritated that I clearly wasn't listening to him and continuing to complain about what Kayleigh from his office did wrong on some case they're working on together. We continue chatting throughout dinner but he's distracted and I'm becoming less convinced that this is about our future and perhaps more about his work, he often gets like this if he has a particularly complex or traumatic case on at work. He's a solicitor, specialising in family law, and although he can't tell me specifics, I've seen some of the information in the news about cases he's worked on, and on those days I'm glad I chose accountancy over law.

"Alright, Luna Amanda. We will take you to the library." As they made their way through the pack's territory, Amanda felt a mix of excitement and nervousness. The library was said to hold ancient tomes, scrolls, and records dating back generations. It was a treasure trove of knowledge that could hold the key to unlocking the secrets of the Shadow Pack.

I clearly heard the instructions Sain gave them and that is not something that needs to be delayed especially now that they already figured out the Mafia Romano. I took a deep breath. "Does the library located in the west wing?" I inquire. "No, it's in the north east at the end of the hallway near the-" "Got it," I cut him off. "I'll go get him" I smile and turn around. I already where is that library he is talking about. That's the place where I heard Nicolai and Sain talk about Laurent Alcatraz.

I winked at the teenagers at the front. "Every week the library will be stocked with new books, every fictional and non fictional, science , or art themed book you know where to search." I said and they all cheered. "So incase you are looking for a whole harry potter series in one place. You know where to run to!" Reynolds added and the entire place busted with applause. I cut the ribbon and the flash lights captured the moment. I took a couple of pictures with the children before they rushed inside the library. As i climbed the stairs. I saw a child and his mother. He looked familiar. Like i knew him somewhere.

Ricky said, and everyone nodded with a faint smile. "By the way, we might find some clues about Leonora at the library as well, since it contains a lot of information. However, the problem was that we couldn't enter the library willy-nilly. The rules are so complicated, and it's hard to enter the library without status at all." I shared. "What? What kind of library is that?" I shrugged. "That library is a fortress of information. Furthermore, the most important information was only accessible by royalties. So for now, our priority is to get the old man to talk."

Evander walks with an air of confidence, he seems to be more familiar than I am with this place and I find myself wondering about him. But all thoughts fly out of my head the moment we step into the library and my jaw drops. The library is a place lost in time, filled with ancient tomes and the musty scent of knowledge. There is a friendly librarian who discreetly tends to his own business in the corner, seemingly unperturbed by our presence. It is reading, arranging scrolls and sorting for him, over and over again.

All thoughts and doubts I left aside and continued to stride towards the library. It wasn't long before we reached the place and to my chagrin, the library was massive, even larger than the Western archives. I couldn't help but be in awe as I stared at its designs—minimal and yet have a natural feel in them, probably because the bookshelves are made from Narra wood and its tables are made sturdy of bamboo. A tiny part of me wanted to rest and sleep here all day, if it weren't for the formalities I would've laid beneath the wooden tables.

The world was vast, and danger could lurk in the most unexpected places. That afternoon, Lune decided to visit the library. It was a quiet refuge where she could dive into her studies without the distractions of socializing. As she walked through the aisles of books, she found solace in the printed pages and the scent of old paper. She became lost in her work, immersing herself in history and literature, desperately trying to fill her mind with knowledge and ambition.

"You can read them facts. 'Did you know the speed of light is 299,792,458 meters per second?' They'll love it." Cale considered this. "The library," Cale said. "It is a controlled environment. Alphabetical organization. Dewey Decimal System." "Exactly. Structure." "And it is quiet." "Usually." "I will... investigate," Cale said. "I will perform a reconnaissance mission." "Just go talk to the librarian, Cale. Her name is Mrs. Gable. She's nice." "I will assess Mrs. Gable." "Good." Elion finished his bowl. The milk was bright blue.
