The Orphanage By The Lake Audiobook Novels & Stories

she said, her voice firm and final. Lucian and Leo didn’t argue. They knew it wasn't Isla speaking. It was the mother inside her who was screaming and roaring for her lost child and both Leo and Lucian didn't interrupt her as they only nodded, agreeing with her. The gates creaked open and the three stepped inside. Inside, the orphanage felt like a relic from another world. The corridors were pale blue, the windows high and all barred. A soft hum of Mozart played from a speaker tucked into a small corner.

So, she went to the lake with the children and Mama Eden to bathe and have fun. The lake itself was like an enchanting vision. Under the morning sun, the water seemed to shimmer with diamonds. Tall trees encircled the lake, their branches swaying to give the morning a gentle breeze. The children ran ahead, stripping their outer clothes, and dived into the lake. Luna dipped her toes into the water, which felt chilly yet refreshing. She couldn’t help but smile as she watched the kids splash water at each other. Their genuine waves of laughter filled the air, one thing she missed about the orphanage.

Our son was alive, and he was safe. We stayed at the orphanage for a few days, getting to know the staff and the other children. Orion was shy at first, but he soon warmed up to us and began to open up about his experiences. He told us about the rogue wolves who had kidnapped him, about the kind wolves who had rescued him, and about the orphanage where he had found a new home. "We'll take you home with us," the Alpha King said, his voice firm. Orion looked up at him, his eyes wide with surprise. "Really?"

Lilith said coldly. The words slammed into Aurora like a physical blow. For a second, she couldn’t breathe. Then she laughed. A hollow, broken sound. “Wow,” Aurora said quietly. “So you hated me this much… because of you.” Her voice trembled now, emotion finally breaking through. “I ended up in an orphanage,” Aurora said, her words coming faster, sharper. “And for twelve years, I struggled to feed myself because the orphanage was brutal.” Lilith’s face remained unmoved.

And during that time, I would ask the men to take Jenny and the two children away from Valxina forever. What a brilliant plan! We drove for about fifteen minutes before finally arriving in front of the orphanage. The building was quite large. There was no sound of children playing or joking outside. Then, Mrs. Lake invited me to get out of the car and go inside. After getting out of the car, we opened the gate and walked inside the orphanage building, which was bigger than I thought. It quite impressed me. “Is the building this big?” I asked Mrs. Lake. “Yes, because it’s attached to the school building. They’re all still in school this afternoon. We’d better go to the head of the orphanage f

Olga was ailing after years spent in the humid kitchen of the boarding house. It was at this time that Anja had to make the hard choice of sending him out to work. There was an opening at the orphanage, they were looking for someone to clean the rooms and serve the staff. It didn’t matter that he was not a native, he was hired simply because the Administrator, Isaiah Kopano, a short pudgy man, took pity on the young mother and her malnourished son and gave him the job. Nate worked hard, he was fluent in the language and his mother tongue. His sharp gray eyes missed nothing. The orphanage had a library with sparse books of places of the world. Since the orphans who lived there barely spent th

Then 6. Moira ran. She threw open the doors. All the children were asleep. But they were all crying in their dreams. Some were whispering words they didn’t know. Others clutched the blankets over their heads like they were hiding from something standing right next to the bed. Moira rushed back to Emery. He was gone. So was the sketchbook. The front door stood open. --- She found him at the lake. Behind the orphanage was a narrow forest trail, usually overgrown. But tonight it looked freshly trodden. The grass bent under small feet. Emery stood at the water’s edge, both hands clutching the book.

It was a surprisingly productive session that I enjoyed and I just found myself nodding along while taking down notes as ideas were tossed around. After a few minutes, Ethan turned to me. "Evans, can you give us a summary of the orphanage? Location, size, current state of needs." I straightened my back and cleared my throat. "Yes. The orphanage is called Riverstone Haven. It's located about fifteen minutes from campus, near the north exit of town. They house around twenty-five children, mostly between the ages of six and twelve. Their funding's been tight lately, so they're short on food supplies, clothing, and school materials. I included all the details in the report."

If they did, they’d probably protest for my father to step down as Alpha. I loved kids, especially these children. Their innocence and resilience were a refreshing distraction from my thoughts of Cameron. The orphanage was a modest building on the edge of the supernatural school grounds. Its wide windows let in natural light, and simple wooden furniture is scattered throughout. The walls were decorated with drawings and crafts the children had made. When I arrived, I introduced myself to the staff. The head caretaker, a kind older woman named Greta, welcomed me warmly. She had kind, weathered eyes and a motherly smile that immediately made me feel at ease.
