What The River Knows: A Novel Novels & Stories

I am distracted in my I thoughts that I am not focusing on my parents conversation but I can tell River has been. His head snaps up in their direction and I see a hint of sadness and anger in his eyes. He heard something that has shaken him, I can tell. He quickly recovers and refuses to look me in the eye. “What did you hear River? “Nothing.” He walks away from me towards the edge of the forest. “Don’t lie to me River. I know you heard something. Tell me.” “Have you ever had strange dreams that came true?” “No. What are you talking about?”

Absolutely nothing. The ride settled into a quiet that felt comfortable rather than awkward. Lucas hummed softly to himself, a tuneless but content sound. Julien rested his elbow against the door, gaze fixed on the passing streets, thoughtful but calm. He looked like someone who knew exactly where he was going. I watched the snow swirl outside, tracking individual flakes until my eyes blurred, and tried very hard not to imagine worst-case scenarios. Tried not to think about late nights, closed hotels, language barriers, or the fact that I was suddenly very aware of how far from home I was.

"There's a safe, and the password hint says 'The day I fell in love with her.' Jennifer, do you have any idea what the date is?" I stood completely dumbfounded and replied through the walkie-talkie, "How would I know? I've never been with him!" As Chelsea thought it over, her frown deepened. This was a chance too good to waste. If Ivan caught on later, bringing him down would be far harder. "Jen, ask Ashley if Ivan has any valuable items. There might be clues inside." Ashley pondered for a long time before remembering an old notebook that Ivan read daily.

“Sammy is getting torn apart by his father by now. Victor is surrounded by enemies who smile to his face. I cannot just sit here and read while everything burns.” “And you cannot keep acting like you are invincible,” she snapped. River rubbed his face with his hands. “Jayden,” he said carefully, “did you even finish reading that Gem of Life book.” I froze. “…No,” I admitted. Jane made a sound like she was about to scream into a pillow. “I actually read the whole thing,” River continued, and I turned to him in shock. “I wanted to understand how a human like you can do all this. And also if I could do it too.”

“Jace.” Jace rushed forward, stopping just short of the table. “They said you killed someone named Miranda Vegas. River, what the hell is going on?” River blinked, confusion flashing across his face. “Miranda… Vegas?” He shook his head slowly. “That’s not possible.” “You know her?” River hesitated. “I did. A long time ago.” Jace frowned. “Who is she?”

I heard a saccharine voice on the other end. "Alpha Carlen, your little pup is kicking me inside. It's driving me mad…" My heart ached sharply, and I quickened my pace. He didn't follow me again this time. I smiled bitterly, unsure whether to feel relieved or heartbroken. I reached out to my mentor, Hannah Rubio, who had once guided me with such care. "Professor Rubio, I've decided to join your medical research program on Icebound Island." There was a hint of surprise from the other end of the line.

“At this point, I’m convinced my mate is dead or something.” “Come on, don’t say that,” Peter groaned. But I wasn’t joking. Not really. My eyes drifted back to the girls. Or rather, her. River. She was standing a few feet away, watching Hailey try on a hat, her arms loosely folded in front of her. She didn’t say much—she rarely did—but something about her silence pulled at me. She wasn’t empty… she was full of things unsaid. Like a book with pages stuck together, daring someone to peel them open and read what’s hidden inside.

She got the message and sat up so he could stand up without kicking her. “You have my word,” Bane told him, and Emma could see them shake hands out of the corner of her eye. Then they both sat down again. “It’s quite obvious. That area is a blank spot when it comes to drug trade. It is a lower income area with a high crime rate. It should be a prime location for selling drugs,” Walker told Bane. Emma could hear from his voice that he felt smug, that he had figured out something that Bane had missed.

He mumbles under his breath. This guy is weird but he has a friendly aura around him. He doesn't talk much but when he does he keeps laughing but I still don't know what makes him laugh. Now that I can examine him up close, I can guarantee that he looks like a very intimidating person. With tattoos surrounding his arms and covering his neck, he also has his nose and ears pierced. When he isn't laughing, he looks like a scary person indeed. I wouldn't want to mess with him. "I'm River." It's my utmost attempt to start a conversation.
