The silence that was not empty. "Tell me about it," he said. "All of it. The room. The women." She told him. About the oval of chairs. About the particular quality of a room full of women who have all been in the kitchen in their different ways. About the woman who had read the book four times and needed to see that she was real.

“I wish Elara could tag along, but she's out trying to convince Sage's spy to help me. I hoped to see him tomorrow or before I leave for Lunaris. We walked into the library and my steps slowed. The place felt overwhelming, like I had walked into a cathedral made for books instead of prayers. The ceiling arched so high above me that it almost made me dizzy to look at it, and the chandelier hanging there glittered with bright lights. Those shelves stretched up to the ceiling, lined with books that looked older than I imagined. The whole room smelled of leather and polish.

The other part—the shameful, secret part—remembered the heat of his mouth, the way he knew exactly how to unravel me, and ached for it like a drug. That night the library was unusually crowded for a weekday. Finals week had started for the local college, so every table was occupied, study groups whispering over laptops, the coffee station in the lobby running nonstop. For once, the third floor wasn’t a ghost town. A handful of serious researchers hunched over rare books, headphones on, completely lost in their work. It should have felt safer. It didn’t. Around eight-thirty, my manager, Mrs. Patel, appeared at the top of the stairs, looking flustered.

With that decided for her day, she walk herself towards the library. It is like a common library that has a librarian who wears glasses with thin eyebrows and excess makeup. Well, at least that is one thing alike from their world. "Good morning! I would like to borrow books about the history of the Kingdom." The woman look over her glasses and darted her eyes on her. Then she clicks her tongue, writing something on a pad and tearing a page, handing it to her. "The farthest shelf," she says, her lips were right apart, her gums and teeth showing.

Everything is so jumbled… ***** I find myself entering the library, among the deadly quiet and shelves of books. I wonder if Branson is here. He is quite close to Alex, so maybe he can give me some information about Alex's current behaviour. I look around for the right book though I have no idea what I need. I mean,is there any book about keys and mysterious doors and a deadass Academy with vampires roaming around it? Hmm. I don't think so. "Miss Hemsworth?" Someone calls from behind making me jolt and I turn around to find a woman in a black dress. Her face is almost stoic as she doesn't seem to be intrigued about anything.

“Ah—sorry.” “For what?” “I-it’s... Forget it.” “Come on. You said you wanted to go to the library, right?” “Of course.” A few minutes later, we reached the front of the major library. We both got out of the car and rushed inside. A woman who was the keeper of the library welcomed us kindly. Red glasses always perched on her pretty face. “It’s rare to see you, Ara. Is there anything you need to look for?” asked the woman with the name tag ‘Hyuna Kwon’.

he said softly, “you ended up here because you were meant to.” How did he always manage things to make things sound so perfectly simple? I shoved away from him and grabbed the book, slamming it open on the table. “This is what matters. This stupid book is the only thing in this word I know that gives some kind of answer at least. No one else knows shit about it." Suddenly Rowan looked away from me to sniff the air, instantly becoming alert and pulling me one step behind him as a dark shadow spilt across the floor. Give it up everybody! The woman of the hour! There she was, the most unhelpful librarian in the history of librarians. Of course she would choose now, of all times to walk in.

“I’ll let it go this once. The next time you come to me with such dangerous questions, you will be duly punished. Library etiquette. Your hands must be sanitised with that special mix over there before you touch any book, and any one you intend to take out of here must be registered with me.” She spins around and marches to the high backed seat, plopping herself into it. She’s the librarian? The woman is an enigma, her words confuse me, as she does herself. What was that about my self-destruction? A curse or just the ramblings of an old woman?

Zach says as we begin walking to the library again. We walk in, waving at the woman who is standing guard at the front window like someone might decide to steal some books. Since Piper and Zach seem to know where they’re going, we follow them back to a secluded corner of the library. It’s darker back here but there’s a table set up and a young woman is there with a computer in front of her, typing away at lightening speed.

The woman took the book from the desk and signed it back in the log. After that, Snow returned it to its shelf and considered finding another book. She walked toward the staircase leading to the upper hall, her eyes shimmering at how bright and beautiful the library looked. Books—rows and rows of them—all containing knowledge about themselves, other kinds, and more. She trailed her fingers along the spines of the books when her gaze landed on a particular one. “Mate Bond,” she muttered. She probably shouldn't be reading it, but her curiosity was suddenly piqued.
