Tom Lake Book Club Questions Novels & Stories

“With Flynn. Last night. I saw them. The way she looked at him. It didn’t seem like two people who just met a few weeks ago, it was as if she’s known him her whole life. Like they’ve got some secret.” Tom’s eyes narrow. “Where?” “Stadium,” I mutter. “They were alone, it was late and they were way too close.” For a second, silence. Then, slowly, Tom straightens, his expression shifting from annoyance to calculation. His eyes glint under the harsh hallway lights, the way they always do when he smells blood in the water. “Then we have to dig deeper,” he says. I blink. “Dig what? His past is clean, Tom. I checked it myself when he was recruited on the very first day. Nothing shady. Nothing weird

Maya put a gentle hand on Bella's arm, steadying her. "You smell nice," Tom murmured sleepily. "Like Mommy's fancy coffee." "Thank you," I managed, not daring to move. "Mommy says smelling nice is important," Tom continued, his eyes drooping. "It means you take care of yourself." "Your mommy is very smart," I said quietly. "The smartest," Tom agreed. "She knows everything. Even about penguins." By the time I finished the book, Tom was asleep, his small body warm against mine and his breathing deep and even. I sat frozen, terrified to move and wake him, desperate to memorize every second of this moment.

He gently almost fearfully hoisted the books up and pulled out the prime suspect, even half expecting that the book would bite him… While doing so, something moved within his eye frame. "What's that? Tom asked alerted. He immediately bent his neck to have a closer look at the books in front of him, his eyes were particularly sharp waiting to catch any unusual movements. "But I just saw something " just as he was questioning himself inside, another zappy move was made and Tom immediately lamented ever lowering his attention. "f**k!" He cursed, "I just have to take out all the books here and have a look." With that, he immediately started unloading the books and carried them to a secluded part

Tom paced back and forth in his room while Sarah was passed out after their lovemaking. He could tell she was worried about Alicia after discovering they used to be together as teenagers. He needed to put her negative thoughts to rest. Now, Tom paced because Alicia, who he knows to be intelligent and known for being the top student in Pharmacology, has turned up to this plague-ridden pack. Tom arrived at the Winter Howl pack a month earlier than Rowan with the help of his grandmother. He’d had a head start, yet he’d found nothing during his investigation.

“Leak it. One post at a time. Start with anonymous forums. Crime subreddits. Dig up his high school classmates, especially the ones who hated him. Someone will talk.” Tomas chuckled. “You really are something else.” I slurped the last of the ramen and sighed, content. “I’m just tired. But we’re close. Every powerful man has a crack somewhere. We just have to pour the poison slowly.” The tablet went silent for a beat, then Tomas said quietly, “You know... sometimes I wonder. Are we doing this for justice, or just for sport?” I stared out the window, eyes reflecting the city below. “Does it matter?”

Don’t destroy our future! I still didn’t reply. His messages turned angry. [Liam: You think you’ve won?] [Liam: You can’t win this game without me!] [Liam: Chloe has weapons! Tom has strength! What do you have?] [Liam: You need my teleport ability! You need my help!] Finally, he snapped. [Liam: Fine! You want to play? Let’s play!] [Liam: You think you’re safe in that studio? I will find you. And when I do, I'll make you wish you were deaf.]

I kissed him and he pulled me close. "So, let me get this straight, you were worried about us going to a nightclub but you were the ones that got in trouble?" Eve ranted and I smiled. "She has a point." Keri added and Leo rolled his eyes. "I know. I know." Leo muttered. I looked pointedly at Finn and he cringed again. "Ok. We get it." Sally pleaded. "So how was shopping and the club?" Tom asked, changing the subject. "Great! The club was really nice and the hotel was amazing." Hart gushed.

Yet here I was, in this room full of people who had chosen me, not because they had to, but because they wanted to. I smiled, a real one this time, and sat at the center of the circle. April clapped her hands together, bubbling in excitement. “Okay, enough of the emotional display. Let’s get to work. Book Club is officially back in session!” Laughter filled the room. We started tossing around ideas for the next reading list, but the discussion quickly turned into a chaotic mess of inside jokes and playful teasing. Maya insisted we include something “dark and brooding,” while Sammy argued for something “funny, because God knows we all need to laugh more.” April rolled her eyes and wrote both

Tom said. “Am sure that there is something I'm doing for you to keep quiet,what do you really want,”Alicia asked. “Haaah you know me very well darling I surely want something from you. I want you to help me get rid of Tamara, I don't know how you will do it but I want you to do that,”Tom said, smiling sarcastically. “You don't want me to kill her. I am sure you aren't asking me to do that because I won't. I swear to you I won't be a murder like you two,”Alicia said on top of her voice. “Lower your tone when talking to me. I am sure you don't want me to let the cat out of the basket. I assure you if I do you will be in big trouble and we'll not like it, right? Tom asked.

They deserved an explanation, but how much should I tell them? "Tommy is a teenager who was in danger from some very bad people," I said carefully. "Uncle Dmitri and Uncle Sloane have been helping keep him safe. But today, those bad people found him." "Is he going to be okay?" Lake asked. "Yes," Sloane said firmly. "He's going to be fine." "When did Uncle Dmitri and Uncle Sloane get a kid?" Soren asked, his child's logic trying to make sense of the situation.
