Monster Can Love Too CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-THREE — FINAL EPILOGUE
The world woke up slowly.A pale, honey-gold morning spilled through the tall bedroom windows, touching everything it liked: the soft sheets, the half-open curtains, the messy pile of clothes on the velvet chair, and the two bodies tangled in the center of the king-size bed like they’d grown there overnight.Noa was the first to blink awake… barely.His curls were pushed up in every direction imaginable, like he had lost a fight with sleep itself. His cheek was pressed against Alessio’s chest, one arm flung over his waist, fingers buried in the sheets like he was afraid to let go even now.Alessio didn’t wake easily. He never had. But the moment Noa shifted, his hand slid instinctively into Noa’s hair, rubbing slow circles against his scalp.A low, lazy hum escaped Noa. “Are you awake or is this your sleep-mode autopilot?”Alessio’s voice came out rough morning gravel and quiet warmth.“Sleep-mode wouldn’t bother touching you.”“Oh.” Noa’s lips are curved, small and smug. “So this is
Monster Can Love Too CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-TWO — THE QUIET AFTER THE BREAK
The envelope lay on the table like a fresh wound.Noa hadn’t moved for a full minute after whispering, “My family.”He just stared at the paper, breathing too quietly, hands too still.The kind of still that wasn’t calmIt was shocking wearing a mask.Alessio didn’t touch him, not yet.He knew the difference between giving comfort and overcrowding a wound.But when Noa finally exhaled shaky, uneven Alessio reached out and slid a hand up the back of Noa’s neck, fingers slipping under his hair.Noa leaned into the touch like he’d been waiting for it.“Talk to me,” Alessio murmured.Noa swallowed hard. “It’s not… it’s not all of them. Just one person.”“Who?”“My mother’s brother.”A strained breath. “Milan used to keep him away. I didn’t know how far it went.”That explained the handwriting in Quinn’s note: the cryptic warnings, the protective anger, the terrible choices.Quinn hadn’t been fighting Alessio.He’d been fighting ghosts.And losing.Alessio cupped Noa’s cheek gently and tur
Monster Can Love Too CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-ONE — THE MAN WHO STOOD IN THE DOORWAY
The crack in the doorway widened, and the man stepped fully into the room with the kind of confidence that came from knowing he was the storm, not walking into one.Quinn.Not the Quinn from the early days.Not the Quinn who used to tease Noa for drinking coffee like it was oxygen, whose grin stretched too wide whenever Noa rolled his eyes.Not the Quinn who had walked into their lives pretending to be harmless, pretending to be a friend, pretending to be nothing but a passing breeze in a world full of hurricanes.This Quinn was colder. Sharper.Even the air seemed to change around him. He carried that strange electricity, that eerie calm of a man who didn’t need to raise his voice or lift a weapon to make the room tilt.His eyes weren’t warm; they were calculating, slicing through shadows like blades.His posture wasn’t relaxed, it was commanding, a quiet warning written into the way he stood.And his smile, his damn smile felt like a trap tightening around the throat of anyone who d
Monster Can Love Too CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY — THE EDGE OF THE LAST DOOR
The world didn’t breathe with him.For a moment, Alessio wasn’t sure if the ringing in his ears was from the gunshot echo, the shouting, or the way his heart slammed mercilessly against his ribs as he crashed through the broken service corridor door. Dust exploded around him as concrete fragments rolled across the floor, skittering like tiny bones. His vision blurred panic, adrenaline, grief, everything mixing in a way that felt poisonous. His lungs couldn’t decide if they wanted to choke or scream.He didn’t care.He only saw Noa.Pressed against the wall.Hands held behind him.A figure standing too close.Too familiar.The “second man.”The shadow that had stalked them through cities, hallways, forests, phones, and nightmares. A ghost wearing skin. The presence that kept appearing at the edges of surveillance footage, behind half-open doors, reflected in mirrors. The person who had trailed them like something feral with a purpose.A man whose face Alessio hadn’t seen until now.Noa
Monster Can Love Too CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-NINE — THE MAN WHO WANTED A RESPONSE
For a full second, Alessio didn’t move.Couldn’t.His muscles felt locked, like someone had emptied concrete into his veins. The doorway felt too narrow around him, the frame pressing in on either side as if trying to trap him in the moment. Even the air felt wrong, thick, unmoving, heavy in a way that pressed against his chest and made each breath drag too slow, too sharp.And Noa Noa stood there with that wrong, practiced, emotionless half-smile that didn’t belong anywhere near his face. His pretty mouth curved in a way Alessio had never seen, stiff at the edges, hollow everywhere else. His eyes were void. Hollow. Like someone had scooped out the warmth inside him and replaced it with a blank template.And the man standing behind him…Alessio finally placed him.The hair.The posture.The slow, methodical way he exhaled like he’d been waiting for this moment longer than Alessio had even been alive.Quinn.Milan’s protégé.The one Milan used to describe as “almost perfect, but not da
Monster Can Love Too CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-EIGHT — THE HOUSE THAT BREATHED WRONG
Alessio didn’t feel the cold.Didn’t feel the pavement under his shoes. Didn’t feel the sting in his lungs or the burning in his calves as he sprinted down the street. His breath tore out of him in sharp bursts, every inhale scraping his throat, every exhale tasting like metal and panic. But none of that registered. All he could see was the picture on his phone Noa’s face lit by the dim hallway light, wide eyes staring into the camera like he didn’t even know someone was watching.Or maybe he did.Maybe he felt someone standing close enough behind him that their shadow fell across his back. Someone close enough to capture him in the most vulnerable second imaginable. Noa hadn’t even fixed his shirt. His hair was still messed up from where Alessio’s fingers had been in it just minutes earlier.Ten minutes earlier.The timestamp dug into Alessio’s mind like a nail driven straight between his ribs.Ten minutes ago.Ten.That meant someone had been inside the house while Noa was in his ar
Monster Can Love Too CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-SEVEN — THE MOMENT BEFORE THE FALL
The night didn’t breathe.It just sat there thick, heavy, waiting while Alessio stood at the door, fingers pressed to the edge like he was afraid that if he pushed it open, everything would collapse. The shadows clung to the corners of the hallway like they were listening, stretching long and thin
Monster Can Love Too CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-FIVE — THE BOY IN THE DARK
Darkness swallowed everything.Not gentle darkness. Not the type that waited politely at the edges or crept in softly.This one slammed into Alessio’s skull like a fist, thick and suffocating, eating every shape, every shadow, every trace of Noa. It felt like the room inverted itself, like the worl
Monster Can Love Too CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-FOUR — THE FOURTH BREAK
The moment Alessio slammed the bathroom door behind them, Noa didn’t even wait for the lock to click. He pushed Alessio back against the cold tiled wall, breath unsteady, shirt half torn from what had happened downstairs. His fingers dug into Alessio’s sides like he needed something to hold onto be
Monster Can Love Too CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-THREE — THE FALL
Alessio didn’t breathe.I didn't think so.I didn't feel it.He just moved.The masked intruder was already mid-air with Noa locked against his chest, both of them disappearing into the open night. Noa’s scream tore the darkness like fabric splitting raw, sharp, terrified.Alessio lunged for the wi
