Thousands and thousands of books were lined up on huge wooden book cases not only were they above me on a balcony but the walls were lined in the same huge book cases shelves upon shelves packed full of different colors and thicknesses of books. Some of these massive book cases were vertical in the center of the room also lined with more beautiful books on their shelves. Glass windows were at the very top of the roof line letting in a perfect amount of natural light. The smells that filled my nose were heavenly all these old paper pages packed in the room permeated of leather and ink hints of oak lingered from the massive wooden shelves. I scanned my eyes above me along the perfectly carved shelving that housed them so many different shades of colors were on the spines none had names probably rubbed off over the years of use. Large solid wood tables with comfortable looking chairs were strategically placed throughout the main open area it was like a whole library was picked up and pl
It was late afternoon by the time Leo and I made it back from lunch with Kris, I wish I could say she took my findings well but she didn't. I told her Leo had a friend who had a few books related to twins and shared genes but they didn't have any information on telepathy, dream sharing emotional auras or blockages. My hope was to convince her that some twin abilities just couldn’t be figured out, I mean we never told anyone so maybe others had felt the same? I couldn't bring myself to openly tell her all about the supernaturals we were surrounded by let alone all the actual information I had just found out on them. Unfortunately it I wouldn’t have that luxury after what she said to me at lunch, she had the whole conversation changing away from our twin issues that now festered a whole new assortment of problems that have rendered me speechless.*Flashback to 3hours ago*We picked up Kris and took her to a small restaurant on the out skirts of the city, even with Leo present Kris was de
Theodeus Castellanos sat at the bar top engaging with Angie like they were long time friends, I’ll admit she was definitely putting on a show though her laughs were airy and she touched his bicep ever so slightly while she found humor in whatever they were conversing about. I know she wasn’t trying to be but to most women her actions could easily be misconstrued. To me now that I knew her so well she came off mostly as extremely charming, her interactions would have been the same if it were a woman she was sitting with. Her way of hospitality didn’t bother me anymore it was Theodeus presence here that irked me. Watching his body language at the as I turned towards them so casual with her like old friends I could tell the moment he acknowledged my presence his back muscles tensed under his shirt as he adjusted himself to sit straighter, his elbows were bent to rest on the bar as he intertwined his fingers pressing his thumbs together keeping his head turned to Angie as they spoke back n
First and fore most I want to thank each and every one of you for reading my book and giving it a chance, I cannot put it into words how much it means to me that you all take the time to look into my world that I am creating! I hope you are all connecting with my characters and grow to love them as much as I do excitingly enough my lovely readers we are only just beginning :)Now to the second biggest reason I am posting this is because if some of you have noticed chapter 19 is missing and unfortunately it is a important piece of chapter 20 but it was never released from review when I posted it on Monday the 1st. I have since reached out to my editor and once it is available my hope is you all will get the notification and it will also be in its correct place, I can apologize over and over but unfortunately it’s not in my hands anymore so I do not know when you will have access to it. SO with that being said I hope this small glitch doesn’t discourage anyone from continuing their read
laying on my futon couch scrolling on my phone it’s been over an hour since Theo walked me the rest of the way to my office and since then my mind has been replaying our passionate encounter, I was swept literally off my feet by him but I couldn’t wrap my head around as to why. After going in circles in my mind I eventually got restless and decided to do something I haven’t done since I was in high school. Getting up from where I was laying I dug threw my bags and found a sports bra along with a pair of black tight leggings slipping them on and my sweater I tied my bright colored Nike trainers on and slipped out of my office and down the hallway to the door to the back portion of the property. I was severely out of shape but I figured jogging was like riding a bike you never forget right?I knew going outside in the middle of the night was probably not the best idea but Leo being my local werewolf meant he was out probably out there and there wasn’t a single thing I could think of tha
“Go a ways back? You mean like when you were kids?” I asked Theo “Something like that” Leo chimed in darkly Both of their facial expressions gave nothing away as to why they clearly didn’t like one another, but Theo’s eyes glittered in the dimly lit area the three of us stood in. I couldn’t be sure but his eyes seemed to hint at something but as quick as the emotions came they were gone “Your not gonna tell me right now are you?” I looked between Leo and Theo inquisitively Leo looked on at Theo in askance as I waited for them to clarify “No Doll, right now is not the time for that story” Theo grabbed my hand in his pulling my gaze from Leo who was now walking into the woods“Get her back inside” he instructed “Oh and Theodeus, don’t get to comfortable here” Leo shifted back into his huge silver wolf barreling off threw the trees out of sight“Still as welcoming as a cactus I see” he chuckled dryly shaking his head“Not usually, I’ve never seen Leo treat anyone in a way they didn
Theodeus POV I couldn’t let her go alone to her office, Ares wouldn’t have it either so we went after her. The initial shock I had seeing a burn caused by her bare hands paled in comparison to the pure static electricity radiating around her as she stormed off it was almost like a trail she left behind. I couldn’t fathom the way she was feeling right now since nobody has filled her in on a damn thing, she says she’s not a shifter but humans don’t get hot enough to burn anything let alone hot enough to cause permanent damage to a shifters skin. It made no sense to me why it happened but yet it did and instead of being able to help her figure out this world she has unknowingly been living in for the last 10 years, now I want to help her figure out what she is. I know it sounds like I’m being selfish but there’s nothing selfish about needing to be near her, Ares noticed she was different the moment he herd her voice on the phone. Ever since then she is all he can talk about. Except for r
I looked down at Bec one more time as I followed Leo out to the hallway, unsure of the time we didn’t linger there we walked outside and headed to where Leo was staying. Once we got inside his room he confirmed what I already had been thinking “I don’t know how much Bec knows about Dorians death but she was the one who was told about it being a murder” I was wrong, so wrong no wonder she is hostile not only did he mess her up in the head while he was alive but he couldn’t even give her peace after he died. “Who is sick in the head enough to tell her that?” “It being her truth to tell I can only say it was a Demon. Asmodeus has been involved and now some time in august The 7 will also be here since they hold information Connor wants” “Has he gone completely mad?!” I snarled at him “Easy save it for another time, definitely not with me” he deadpanned “Bring the 7 here? I wish to the goddess you didn’t just tell me that!” “Listen it’s more than just about Dorians death, Connor believes w
