The Secret Library Novels & Stories

“Do you have no fear? What is wrong with you, you don’t just go opening random doors in secret dirty tunnels.” “Aren’t you just a little bit curious what’s behind the door?” “F**k no!” “Why would Reign and Quintin have a secret tunnel?” “I don’t know why don’t we go find them and ask them?” I roll my eyes and turn the handle. It opens to a dirty dungeon, similar to the one from my dreams. I hear a chain rattle but I can’t see anything it’s so dark. “Think of the sun,” Nina tells me. “Why?”

Hence, once he turned around, they might not feel so awkward. Unfortunately, there were no magazines around here. She found only hard-to-read books that she had never thought to read on her own...Politics...Economics...Classic literature. However, one book caught her eyes. Celine chose the literature that she remembered was adapted into a movie. At least she knows some plot and could have a decent conversation if he asks anything about it. She sat and read the book. Then she saw a phrase written in pitch-black ink on the front page of Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray.

She handed me a novel. " Read it." She sniffs. " The revenge started because of love....what ends it read it. " I met her gaze but didn't collect the book so she throws it onto the ground and cleaned the tear that had dropped on her cheek and walks away. I look down at the book: ' Why?!' I didn't realize I had started crying until a drop of tears fell onto the book cover. ______________________ Jade pov Numb, it ain't pain, I just feel.....numb. opening my eyes I see all white. Where am I? I'm on a bed. Last time I remember,I was in my dad's shop. How did I get here?

"You've got no right to talk about love. A hidden girlfriend? Nah, just my replacement." Anger surged within me. Before I could shoot back, her smile turned cruel. She shoved past me, knocking my shoulder hard. "Know your place." Her footsteps faded, leaving me clutching my chest. The pain was unbearable. Luke failed me, but Karma always came back around. Once I calmed down, I went home. Mike called. "Your fiancé got you an animal biology book with real specimens inside. Pretty cool, right? How are you going to thank me?"

It pushed away the panic and gave me a small spark of hope, the first I had felt since that terrible discovery. Stephanie had told me everything. Had laid out her entire plan with arrogant confidence, secured in the knowledge that I was trapped, helpless, unable to warn anyone or fight back. But there was one thing she had not mentioned. One thing she had not boasted about knowing. One secret she had not thrown in my face. The hidden library. My mother's sanctuary. The magical space behind the bookshelf is filled with thousands of books of knowledge and power. The crystal that showed visions. The locked box that held answers I had not yet accessed.

I read quietly as I look at the first shelf. I continue walking and see another section. “Philosophy.” Then I came across another one. “Pack Politics.” A few steps later, I see more labels. “Royal Bloodlines.” “Ancient Treaties.” “Sacred Laws.” Each section seems carefully organized, making the place feel even more mysterious and impressive. The farther I walk, the more unbelievable everything becomes. I still cannot understand what I am seeing. Who keeps a secret library hidden beneath their house? And more importantly… Why would they?

Charles says, wrapping his arms around me from behind. My poor heart "Oh no son, I just didn't know that you and Elizabeth were that close" "Let's just say she's that hidden secret I wasn't ready to reveal yet" Now he's insinuating things "Oh I get it now. Congratulations you both!" She says with a beaming smile and walks excitedly, as if she has a dirty secret she cannot wait to share with everyone. "Charles!" "Elizabeth!" "Now you're just creating stories" "I've always wanted to be a writer since I was a kid"

It is so confusing to find that Professor Sheila's attitude changes so randomly. More than that, it's even more confusing that she handed me a chit of paper inmy palm like some secret mission. Weird. I open it while sitting in my room and find "There is a secret library behind the main Library. Find it."

She padded out of the room, silent as sin. The estate was quiet. The kind of quiet that made you believe things watched from the shadows. And maybe they did. Damian never let her into the west wing. But tonight, that was exactly where she was going. The library was two stories of decadence and secrets. Velvet drapes, golden sconces, and hundreds of books—most unread, but a few with spines cracked like they’d been opened recently. She moved to the tall shelf Max had mentioned. “Behind the Steinbeck collection,” he’d said. “Push the blue one. East of Eden.”

“No more mindless entertainment. No more silly books. You will read the reports I send you. You will memorize names and faces. You will learn who is loyal, who serves only money, and who waits in shadows to stab us in the back and take everything we have.” He pushed the heavy doors open. I stepped inside and caught my breath. The library was vast, lined floor to ceiling with dark wood shelves and thousands of rare, leather-bound books. Warm lamps cast a soft, golden glow. In the center stood a massive mahogany desk, polished to shine, piled high with thick folders and binders filled with secrets. “Kiel?” I said softly, stopping just inside.
