Introduction
From centuries I have seen the world change greatly. Yet, I never met her again. Not even saw the same person again. Will I ever see her? Will ever Alina be born?
I am a spirit of a book of a Paranormal encyclopedia which was burned and made transformed into a human. I loved Fantasy. I still do. She was always beside me like my partner. But everything was destroyed in the tragedy and I remained as a witness, whose life only crumpled century after century. Yet, I never found her.
Even in the year of 2024, I stayed single and keeps printing my own encyclopedia and books to stay alive for her.
Alive just for her.
Chapter 1
As the gentle breeze swirled around them, Caelan and Alina lay in the tranquil shade of the cherry blossom tree. The world felt timeless in that serene moment, filled with the fragrance of blooming flowers.
Caelan sighed contentedly and turned to Alina, his grey eyes meeting her mesmerizing mismatched gaze. "It's nice to get away from the palace for a while, isn't it?" he murmured.
Alina smiled softly, her fingers idly playing with a fallen blossom. "It is. Sometimes, the book palace feels... overwhelming," she admitted, her voice carrying a hint of wistfulness. "Out here, everything feels more alive, more real."
Caelan nodded in agreement, his hand reaching out to gently brush a strand of hair away from her face. "You're right. There's something freeing about being outside, away from all the stories and expectations."
Alina looked at him, a playful glint in her eyes. "And what would the spirit of Paranormal want with freedom?" she teased lightly. "Aren't you supposed to enjoy the mysteries and the unknown?"
Caelan chuckled, a deep, resonant sound. "Even spirits need a break from the darkness and the unknown," he replied, his voice softening. "Besides, there's a different kind of magic out here—one that's not bound by genres or rules."
Alina's smile widened, a hint of blush coloring her cheeks. "I suppose you're right. It's a different kind of magic that makes me feel... free."
For a moment, they simply looked at each other, the air thick with unspoken emotions. Caelan's gaze drifted to Alina's waist, and almost unconsciously, he placed his hand there. Alina inhaled sharply, a soft sound escaping her lips.
Caelan hesitated, his thumb gently stroking her side. "Does this make you uncomfortable?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.
Alina shook her head, her mismatched eyes darkening with emotion. "No... It feels... nice," she admitted, her voice breathy.
Encouraged, Caelan leaned in closer, his face inches from hers. "Alina," he breathed, his voice laced with an emotion he couldn't quite name. "Being with you like this... it's different. Special."
Alina's gaze softened, and she reached up to touch his cheek. "Caelan, I've felt the same," she confessed. "There's something between us, something more than just friendship."
Before either could overthink it, Caelan closed the distance, pressing his lips to hers. The kiss was gentle at first, tentative, as if testing the waters. But as Alina responded, it deepened, their emotions pouring into the moment. The world around them seemed to vanish, leaving just the two of them, lost in their own bubble of intimacy.
After a long, breathless moment, Caelan pulled back slightly, resting his forehead against hers. "I could stay here forever," he whispered, his voice full of longing.
Alina smiled, her eyes half-lidded with contentment. "Me too," she murmured. "But we both know that's not possible."
Just then, the faint sound of footsteps reached them, and Caelan stiffened. He quickly sat up, his eyes flickering towards the direction of the noise. "The master is coming," he said, a hint of urgency in his voice.
Alina sighed softly and nodded. "We should go," she agreed, though there was a note of reluctance in her voice.
Caelan glanced down at her, his expression softening. He leaned down and placed a tender kiss on her forehead. "Wait for me," he whispered, his voice full of promise.
Alina nodded, her eyes shining with emotion. "Always," she whispered back.
With a lingering look, Caelan stood and walked towards the approaching footsteps, his heart heavy yet light at the same time. As he left, Alina remained under the cherry blossom tree, her fingers brushing the spot where his lips had touched her forehead. The petals continued to fall around her, each one a silent witness to the beginning of something beautiful.
As the sound of footsteps grew louder, Caelan straightened his robes and hurried to meet his master. The master of the Book Palace, a dignified figure with an air of authority, stood waiting near the entrance. His piercing eyes met Caelan's, and without preamble, he spoke.
"Caelan, I need you to gather the paperwork from the Printing Press," the master ordered, his tone brisk. "We have some urgent manuscripts that need to be reviewed and processed."
Caelan nodded obediently. "Of course, Master," he replied, bowing his head. "I'll take care of it immediately."
With a respectful nod, the master turned and walked back towards the palace, leaving Caelan to his task. Caelan watched him go, a mix of duty and impatience brewing inside him. He was eager to return to Alina, but his responsibilities came first. Taking a deep breath, he set off towards the Printing Press.
As he passed through the garden, he couldn't resist the temptation to sneak a glance at the back, where Alina was waiting. He slipped through the blooming flowers, trying to remain unnoticed. When he reached the spot, he found Alina sitting under the cherry blossom tree, her eyes scanning the sky, lost in thought.
Creeping up quietly, Caelan stepped into view, causing Alina to startle slightly. A small, mischievous grin spread across his face. "Boo!" he whispered playfully, trying to suppress a chuckle.
Alina's eyes widened in surprise, then softened with a warm smile. She leaned her head on her fist, her elbow resting on her knee, and admired him with a mix of affection and amusement. "You're always full of surprises, aren't you?" she teased, her eyes sparkling with delight.
Caelan grinned, enjoying the lighthearted moment. "Just keeping you on your toes," he quipped, his playful spirit shining through. He took a step closer, savoring the brief moment they had together.
But then, the memory of his master's command hit him, and he bit his tongue, his expression changing to one of realization. "Oh, right!" he exclaimed, eyes wide with sudden urgency. "I almost forgot—I need to go to the Printing Press!"
He turned on his heel and started running towards the palace entrance, his robes billowing behind him. Alina watched him go, her laughter ringing out like a melody in the air. She waved after him, her smile broadening as she called out, "Don't get lost, Caelan!"
Caelan glanced back, catching her wave and returning it with a sheepish grin. He couldn't help but laugh at his own silliness, feeling a mix of embarrassment and joy. The warmth of Alina's laughter followed him as he dashed out of the garden and through the palace gates.
As he hurried towards the Printing Press, the sound of Alina's laughter lingered in his ears, a sweet reminder of the lightness and joy she brought into his life. He couldn't wait to finish his task and return to her, eager for more moments of shared laughter and stolen glances under the cherry blossoms.

A pack of their own
Strings of Fate
Like all children, I was tested for magic when I was only a few days old. Since my specific bloodline is unknown and my magic is unidentifiable, I was marked with a delicate swirling pattern around my upper right arm.
I do have magic, just as the tests showed, but it has never lined up with any known Magic species.
I can't breathe fire like a dragon Shifter, or hex people who piss me off like Witches. I can't make potions like an Alchemist or seduce people like a Succubus. Now I don't mean to be unappreciative of the power I do have, it's interesting and all, but it just really doesn't pack much of a punch and most of the time it is just pretty much useless. My special magical skill is the ability to see threads of fate.
Most of life is annoying enough for me, and what never occurred to me is that my mate is a rude, pompous nuisance. He's an Alpha and my friend's twin brother.
“What are you doing? This is my home, you can't just let yourself in!” I try and keep my voice firm but when he turns and fixes me with his golden eyes I shrink back. The look he gives me is imperious and I automatically drop my eyes to the floor as is my habit. Then I force myself to look back up again. He doesn't notice me looking up because he's already looked away from me. He's being rude, I refuse to show that he's scaring me, even though he most definitely is. He glances around and after realising that the only place to sit is the little table with its two chairs he points to it.
“Sit.” he orders. I glare at him. Who is he to order me around like this? How can someone this obnoxious possibly be my soul mate? Maybe I'm still asleep. I pinch my arm and my eyes water a little from the sting of pain.

It was like my eye had exploded inside my skull when he punched me in the face. I landed on the cold concrete and pressed my face onto the floor. He used his foot to roll me over so that I was on my back.
“Look at you, you disgusting c**t” he huffed as he crouched down beside me and wiped the hair from my face. He smiled, a terrifying evil smile.
