The silence between Zaya and Adrian stretched like a taut string, threatening to snap at any moment. She sat at the far end of the bed, her back rigid, fingers tangled together in a nervous knot. Across from her, Adrian leaned against the wall, arms crossed over his chest, his obsidian eyes fixed on her with a gaze so intense it felt like fire licking at her skin.

For the past hour, neither of them had spoken. The storm outside raged on, wind battering the glass windows as if echoing the turmoil in their hearts. Finally, Adrian exhaled sharply, breaking the suffocating quiet.

“Zaya,” his voice was deep, commanding—yet laced with something raw. “You’ve been avoiding me all day. Why?”

Her throat tightened. She wanted to scream at him, to tell him how much his coldness had crushed her, how much his sudden kindness now confused her. But the words refused to leave her lips. Instead, she looked away, her eyes tracing the rain streaming down the window.

“Answer me,” Adrian pressed, his tone

  • Becoming Blue    Chapter 147 – Becoming Blue

    The night was alive with music and laughter, the city skyline glittering with a thousand lights as if the world itself celebrated with them. Blue stood at the balcony of the grand hall where the final exhibition of his art was being held. The collection that bore his name—Becoming Blue—had finally been unveiled to the world.But this night was not just about colors on canvas. It was about healing, about love, about everything that had broken him and everything that had pieced him back together.He closed his eyes for a moment, the cool breeze brushing against his face. For the first time in years, he didn’t feel the suffocating weight of loneliness. Instead, he felt light.Because inside, surrounded by friends, mentors, and critics, stood the one person who had walked with him through shadows and storms. The one who had seen his wounds and didn’t turn away.Elijah.Blue turned, his heart thudding when his gaze found him. Elijah was laughing with one of the guests, but even from afar,

  • Becoming Blue    Chapter 145 – A Love Too Deep to Let Go

    The night was quiet, but inside Blue’s chest, a storm raged.He stood on the balcony of the penthouse, the city lights flickering like a thousand tiny stars against the dark canvas of the night sky. His hands gripped the railing so tightly his knuckles turned white. The sharp evening breeze tugged at his hair, but nothing could cool the fire building in his veins.It had been three days since he’d seen Alex. Three long, excruciating days that felt like an eternity. Every second away from him was a war—between reason and obsession, pride and love, control and surrender. Blue had built his life on walls of steel, but Alex had broken through every barrier with nothing but his laugh, his stubbornness, his damn heart that refused to let Blue drown in his own darkness.And now?Now Alex was gone.Blue tilted his head back, staring at the endless black sky, and for the first time in years, he felt small. Vulnerable. Alone.The phone in his pocket buzzed again. He didn’t need to check to know

  • Becoming Blue    Chapter 146: When Hearts Collide

    The world outside the hotel window was cloaked in midnight calm, but inside the suite, chaos brewed—a storm of unsaid words, raw emotions, and magnetic tension that had been simmering for months, ready to explode.Blue stood near the glass wall, his reflection staring back at him like a stranger. The city lights painted faint golden streaks across his sharp jaw and broad shoulders, making him look like a figure pulled out of a dream—a dangerous dream that Luke had once been too afraid to fully embrace. His shirt was half-unbuttoned, sleeves rolled to his elbows, revealing veins that pulsed with the same restlessness mirrored in Luke’s own heart.Luke closed the door softly behind him, but even that gentle sound reverberated in the silence, pulling Blue’s attention. Their eyes met in the glass before Blue slowly turned, his gaze pinning Luke with the force of a thousand memories—the laughter they shared, the fights that broke them, the lingering touches that neither could forget.“You

  • Becoming Blue    Chapter 144 – The Truth Between Us

    The storm that had been brewing between them for so long was finally starting to break.Blue lay awake that night, staring at the faint cracks of moonlight filtering through the curtains. Her heart was racing, not from fear or secrets anymore, but from the heavy silence that filled the space between her and Adrian.He was in the same room—just a few feet away—but it felt like an entire world separated them.“Adrian,” she whispered into the dark.A pause, then his deep voice rumbled, low and hoarse. “You should be asleep, Blue.”“I can’t,” she admitted, rolling onto her side so she could face him. “Not when there’s still so much unsaid between us.”He turned toward her. The faint moonlight brushed across his face, revealing the turmoil carved into his features. For all his strength, his composure, his carefully built walls—he looked vulnerable in that moment.“Everything has been chaos since the beginning,” Adrian murmured. “Secrets, lies, danger. I kept pushing you away because I thou

  • Becoming Blue    Chapter 143 – The Truth Beneath the Blood Moon

    The air in the room felt heavier than ever, as though the truth about to be spoken carried the weight of centuries. Blue stood by the window, staring at the glowing scarlet moon that bathed the entire forest in an eerie hue. Her reflection in the glass was a ghost of herself—hollow-eyed, shoulders stiff, her lips trembling despite her attempts to appear calm. Behind her, Eryk watched silently, his broad shoulders tense, his jaw set like granite.“You’ve been quiet for too long,” Eryk’s voice finally cut through the silence, deep and firm. “What’s going on inside that head of yours?”Blue’s grip tightened on the window frame until her knuckles turned white. For days, secrets had haunted her—shadows that clawed at her mind and whispered truths she wasn’t ready to accept. But now, under the blood moon, there was nowhere to hide.“I know,” she whispered, her voice cracking. She turned to face him slowly, her silver-blue eyes glistening with unshed tears. “I know who I am… what I am.”Eryk

  • Becoming Blue    Chapter 142: Breaking the Final Chains

    The night air was heavy with silence, the kind that seemed to press down on every breath, making it harder to think, harder to move. Blue stood at the edge of the balcony, staring at the city lights that stretched endlessly below like tiny, mocking stars. His hands gripped the railing so tightly his knuckles turned white.He had been here before—this place, this emotion, this fragile line between surrender and defiance. But tonight, everything was different. Tonight, the truth was no longer something he could bury beneath alcohol, behind casual smiles, or in the warmth of temporary lovers. Tonight, the truth demanded to be spoken, and it demanded blood if necessary.Behind him, soft footsteps approached. He didn’t turn. He didn’t need to—he would know that voice anywhere, would recognize that presence in a crowd of thousands.“Blue…” The sound of his name, spoken like a plea, cracked through the suffocating silence. Elijah’s voice was low, careful, like he was approaching a wounded an
