The Lost Key Book Novels & Stories

“Why?” A wry line carves itself on her face. “Children tend to vanish when they venture too far from home. I would hate for any of you to end up like the lost heirs,” she says, and I think she meant it as a joke because her dreary eyes shine with dark humour, but I also think it was a sincere warning. “The lost… heirs?” I repeat questioningly, hopefully a worthy prompt for an elucidation. A ghoulish glint sparks in Hilda’s dull eyes. “The lost heirs; twins that braved into the woods. Rumours speculate that it was to visit their favourite spot by the lake which they visited religiously, but one day… they never returned.”

Too happy to oblige, and I swiftly return to the Duke's office, standing in front of the bookshelf, trying to decide what book would show-off my 21st Century education. 18 My eyes fall on Homer's "The Odyssey." Perfect! I snatch the leather-bound book and return to the bedroom. Once inside, Bryce is sitting on a wooden seat with an empty stool beside him. He is sitting close to one of the burning candles on a floor stand. "What book had you chosen?" "'The Odyssey,' my lord," I tell him, trying to keep my voice neutral and bored. I do not want to give away my eagerness to prove my higher education. "Very well. Sit, and you may begin," Bryce states while studying me curiously. I can

It has an ornate metal clasp on the front which locks the pages giving the illusion of it being a box. I run my fingers over the clasp and it clicks open. I feel my wolf push to the front of my mind but I'm so engrossed in the book I hardly even notice. I open the cover carefully and look at it. On the inscription page is some writing and a hand drawn picture of a wolf in black ink. I read the inscription out loud. 'Journal of Lycius 1800AD' "Where does it say that?" Hunter says looking over my shoulder.

We need to find the key" he said. His man that just entered furrowed his eyebrows. He had no idea what was happening. "Lost blood? Key?" He thought. "How do we find the key master?" He asked. "It's no ordinary key. It's a book. That book can lead us to the girl once the power is activated. That means, once she has reached the age to be sacrifice, the book will be awoken" he said. "Oh" he murmured and lowered his gaze. Slowly, he was understanding how everything worked.

I grunted. Has he… Bucky trailed off. I knew what he was going to ask. No, but he’s broken into my house, sent threatening letters, stuff like that. He set my house on fire and killed KC. I lost everything. I whispered. Awe, squirt, I’m so sorry that happened. I know you loved KC a lot, she was your baby. He said hugging me. Shadow lowly grumbled again, I shot him another glare. Thanks Bucky. I said pushing away from him. So, you ready to go? He asked. I grinned. Hell yeah! I need to work off some steam. Let’s get this party started. He said as we walked to the back room.

, Ethan whispered. Victor hesitated for a few moments. And then, “You were taken during an attack on the Cross estate. The estate was destroyed that night. Your parents fought to protect you. You were only five years old.” Ethan felt something cold settle in his chest. His nightmares started making sense now. Fragments returned to him. Fire everywhere. People screaming and running everywhere. A man lifting him. Running through the smoke. Pain tearing through his arms. Then silence. “I thought those were just nightmares.”

a horror movie, it’s an old women who pretends to be a small child so that she could get adopted and take peoples husbands, I bite into the last bite of the sandwich, it just taste so good, I drank my pineapple juice, I didn’t even know how long I was sitting here, I looked at the clock and saw that it was 9:30 ok the night, jake isn’t back yet, I took the dish and went to wash it, I went back to the sitting room to switch off the tv, I stretched my hands as I went back into the room, I sat on the bed and looked out the window. Mom, dad i miss you both, I miss you so much, I miss grandma too, things are hard, I came down from the bed and went inside the cupboard and opened my belongings I t

Books everywhere, blankets, fairy lights, and it smells like cinnamon and cheap coffee. There’s nothing obviously dangerous, but the hum beneath my skin grows stronger. Annie frowns. “You all look really serious. What’s going on?” The first thing I notice is what she hasn’t said. She’s never met any of the seven giant men now cramped into her tiny home, so why wouldn’t she question who the hell they are?… Unless she already knows. Poppy finally finds her voice. “Annie… we need to talk.” Annie stiffens. “Oh. Is this about changing the locks? I was going to tell you. I have your new key right here. I lost my keys last night. It was late, and I didn’t want to wake…”

You act without thinking! The guard led Shaun up the stairs to the first floor of the castle. It was the first time Shaun had been inside the castle; the interior was decorated with dark wood and light blue tapestries. Blue and white carpets lined the walkways, lit up by small lanterns. Although Nightstar Pack was a relatively small pack, the castle was covered in lavish decorations. Shaun's journey through the labyrinthine corridors of the castle led him to the heart of the Alpha's domain—the council room. Twelve figures sat in solemn judgment, their eyes boring into him with a scrutiny that made his skin crawl. Alpha Thorne, a commanding presence seated upon his throne, regarded Shaun with

"My grandfather gave me this card, and it unlocks the car." The officer took the key card, examining it closely. As he flipped it to look at the other side, his gaze stopped on the symbol that was on the keycard.
