CHAPTER FIVE: Taken
Terakhir Diperbarui:
2025-07-21 19:09:53Noa didn’t sleep.
Again.
The words burned.
You’ll be in my bed tomorrow. Or I’ll take you from yours. Choose wisely.
“Motherfucker.”
He threw the phone across the room. It bounced off the wall and landed screen-down with a pathetic thud.
Didn’t matter.
The message wasn’t on the phone anymore. It was in his veins. His skull. His skin.
His mouth was dry. He kept licking it, but it only made it worse. His body felt tight, like it wasn’t his anymore.
No matter how many times he told himself:
I’m not going.
The craving only grew.
He wanted the touch again.
The heat.
The damn voice in his ear.
“Fuck you, Alessio.”
He hugged his knees, rocking slightly. He hated how wired he felt. How… electric.
Morning came.
Noa didn’t leave the apartment.
Didn’t shower. Didn’t eat. Didn’t check his phone.
Just sat.
Eyes locked on the door. Heart racing every time footsteps passed in the hall.
“I won’t go,” he whispered.
“You can’t make me.”
But even he didn’t believe it.
Because by sundown, he was standing in front of the mirror.
Black shirt in one hand. Hoodie in the other.
His reflection looked strung-out. Wild eyes.
“God, you’re pathetic.”
He yanked the hoodie on, hands trembling.
Then sat on the couch.
Waiting.
Don’t open the door. Don’t open the fucking door.
It was almost midnight when the knock came.
Low. Slow. Precise.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
No warning this time. No pretense. Just inevitability.
“Noa.”
His breath caught.
“Open the door.”
No. No. No. No.
“Or I’ll open it myself.”
“Go to hell,” Noa choked out, voice raw.
Click.
The lock turned.
Noa stared, frozen, as the door swung open.
Alessio stepped inside.
Black shirt. No tie. Sleeves rolled up. Veins visible on his forearms.
Eyes molten silver.
“You should’ve chosen.”
“You can’t just”
“I can. And I will.”
Alessio shut the door behind him, fingers brushing the wood as if savoring it.
Noa backed away until his calf hit the coffee table.
“Don’t touch me.”
“Then why are you dressed for me?”
“I wasn’t”
Alessio stalked closer.
“You’re trembling again.”
“Get out!”
“No.”
He caught Noa’s wrist.
The shock of skin to skin made Noa gasp. Electricity.
“Fuck let me go.”
“You should’ve come willingly.” Alessio’s voice dropped to a dark purr. Rough velvet. Dangerous.
“Now I’m going to take what I want.”
Noa shoved him.
Alessio let him. Smiled.
“Keep fighting. You know I love it.”
Noa’s back hit the wall.
“You’re sick,” he whispered.
“For you? Yes.”
Alessio pinned him, breath hot against his ear.
“Say stop,” he breathed.
Noa opened his mouth. Nothing came out.
“Exactly.”
Alessio’s mouth crashed onto his.
No warning. No mercy. Just heat and hunger and need.
Noa gasped, the burn of it slicing straight through him.
“Hate me all you want,” Alessio rasped, grinding against Noa’s thigh, “but your body says otherwise.”
Noa cried out as friction lit him up.
“Fuck no”
“Say stop.”
No sound.
Alessio grinned against his lips.
“Good boy.”
His hands slid under the hoodie. Bare chest. Hot fingers on sensitive skin. Noa arched involuntarily, a traitor to himself.
“So sensitive,” Alessio whispered.
“Alessio”
“Shh.”
Teeth grazed his collarbone. Noa whimpered.
“You want this,” Alessio breathed.
“I hate you,” Noa choked.
“Keep lying to me.”
One hand cupped him through his jeans.
Noa’s knees buckled.
“Fuck”
“Dripping hard already,” Alessio growled. “You were made for me.”
Noa bit his lip so hard it almost bled. Still, a moan escaped.
“Say stop.”
“I”
“Say it.”
“I can’t.”
Alessio’s eyes darkened.
“Good.”
He spun Noa toward the couch. Pushed him down.
“You’re mine tonight.”
Noa’s breath came ragged.
“You won’t survive this,” Alessio warned.
“I don’t care.”
“Fuck.”
Alessio was on him againmouth brutal, hands everywhere, body caging him in.
Noa clawed at his shirt, desperate.
“Touch me,” he gasped.
“Say please.”
“Please fuck”
Alessio shoved the hoodie up, dragging his mouth down Noa’s chest.
“So perfect,” he rasped.
Noa’s hips lifted, desperate for friction.
Alessio pinned them down with one brutal hand.
“Beg louder.”
“Please Alessio please”
Alessio’s fingers popped the button on his jeans.
Noa sobbed in relief.
“That’s it,” Alessio whispered.
His mouth followed, hot and wet and merciless.
“You’ll scream for me soon.”
Noa didn’t care anymore.
He was gone.
“Please”
Alessio’s tongue dragged a slow stripe.
Noa’s head slammed back against the couch.
“FuckAlessio”
The sound that ripped from him when Alessio took him in deep was pure filth.
“So sweet,” Alessio growled.
Noa was crying now. Choking on his own moans.
“More please”
Alessio sucked harder. Fingers bruising his hips.
“Come for me,” he ordered.
“I”
Noa shattered.
Hard. Violent.
Alessio swallowed every drop.
Noa collapsed, boneless.
“Holy fuck,” he gasped.
Alessio kissed him again hot, slow, claiming.
“Next time, I’ll ruin you completely.”
Noa could barely breathe.
“You already have.”
Alessio smirked.
“Good.”
He scooped Noa into his arms.
“Wha what are you”
“Taking you home.”
“I”
“No more running, Noa. You’re mine now.”
Noa struggled weakly.
“Stop fighting. You don’t want to.”
He didn’t. That terrified him most of all.
The car ride was a blur.
Alessio held him the entire way, firm and warm, possessive.
Noa’s body betrayed him, curling closer without permission.
“You’ll sleep in my bed tonight,” Alessio murmured.
“I I”can’t
“You will.”
The mansion was dark. Silent. Cold stone underfoot.
Alessio carried him inside like he weighed nothing.
“You’re shaking again.”
“I hate you,” Noa whispered.
“Keep saying it. I’ll make you love me soon.”
Noa’s heart pounded so hard it hurt.
“You can’t force love.”
“I can force obsession.”
Alessio laid him on silk sheets dark, cool, rich.
“You’ll wake up in my arms.”
“No ”
“Sleep.”
Alessio slid in behind him. Arm locked around his waist like a steel band.
“Don’t move. I’ll know.”
Noa bit his lip.
His body relaxed against the heat before his brain could stop it.
“Fuck.”
“Good boy.”
Alessio’s voice was the last thing he heard.
“Soon, you’ll beg to stay.”
He woke up cold.
Empty sheets.
“Alessio?”
No answer.
Panic surged.
He sat up, dizzy.
Door unlocked.
“Fuck this I’m leaving.”
Barefoot. Shirt wrinkled.
He ran.
Down endless halls. Echoing. Shadowed.
“Where the fuck is the exit ”
A voice stopped him cold.
“Going somewhere?”
He turned.
Alessio stood at the end of the hall.
Shirtless. Blood on his hands.
Eyes wild. Silver and unhinged.
“You weren’t supposed to see this yet,” he said softly.
Noa froze.
“Alessio what ”
Alessio smiled, slow and sharp.
“Now you really can’t leave.”
“Why why is there blood ”
“You’ll stay. Or you’ll end up like them.”
Noa’s breath caught.
Alessio stalked toward him, bare feet silent on stone.
“You should’ve stayed in bed, Noa.”

Monster Can Love Too CHAPTER EIGHTY-ONE — BLOOD, RAIN, AND YOU
The headlights blinded everyone.The SUV roared down the dock like it had no brakes, engine howling as it cut through the sheets of rain. Men scattered like rats, shouting, boots slipping on the slick concrete. Some managed to dive behind crates, others stumbled, too slow, too scared. One wasn’t fast enough; the bumper caught him square in the chest, lifting him off his feet. He flew like a rag doll, smacking into a stack of crates so hard the wood splintered. The crack of wood and bone split the air, sharp and ugly.The vehicle kept going, skidding sideways, tires screaming against the rain-slicked ground. Sparks burst as metal kissed the edge of the dock. Then it jerked to a perfect stop, blocking the space between Alessio’s crew and Valente’s men like a wall of steel.The driver’s door flew open. Matteo jumped out, boots hitting the wet ground hard, gun already up and ready. His voice cut through the chaos: “Get in!”Alessio didn’t waste a single second. He shoved Luca forward, han
Monster Can Love Too CHAPTER EIGHTY — THE DOCKS BLEED RED
The rain didn’t stop. It thickened. What had started as a steady curtain of water was now a pounding wall, each drop cold enough to sting when it hit skin. By the time the SUVs rolled past the rusted gates of the port, every surface seemed slick and alive, reflecting the harsh glare of distant floodlights in fractured shards. The air smelled heavy salt from the sea, oil from the engines, and something faintly metallic that lingered in the back of the throat, like old blood that had been left too long to rot.Steel containers rose on either side of the narrow lanes like silent giants, stacked high and tight, turning the docks into a maze of metal corridors. Each one cast deep shadows, the kind that could hide a man… or a dozen. Somewhere, the wind groaned through gaps in the stacks, low and hollow, like the place itself was breathing.The dock workers had cleared out hours ago, probably told to, or paid to look the other way. The emptiness made it worse. No distant laughter from a nigh
Monster Can Love Too CHAPTER SEVENTY-NINE — BACK TO BUSINESS
The rain was coming down in thin, icy needles, slicing through the air like the city itself wanted them gone. It wasn’t the soft kind of rain that washed things away gently, this was sharp, stinging, and relentless, soaking through clothes in seconds and turning every step into a cold reminder they were still alive. The streets around them shone like slick black glass, reflecting streaks of red and blue from distant neon signs that flickered in the storm.Alessio didn’t even bother pulling up his hood. The water rolled down his face, soaking his hair until it clung to his skin. He welcomed it. The cold was like a punishment and a cleansing all at once, each drop burning the last of ERA’s stench off his body. He wanted it gone every trace, every echo, every memory of what they’d just walked out of.Beside him, Noa kept pace, though he moved like a man who had been stitched together with nothing but stubbornness and a refusal to fall. His shoulders were locked tight, his jaw clenched so
Monster Can Love Too CHAPTER SEVENTY-EIGHT — THE LAST ERA
The light ripped through the room like it wasn’t just trying to brighten it, but tear it apart from the inside. The walls looked like they were warping under it, bending in strange ways, as if reality itself didn’t know how to hold together anymore. It was so blinding Alessio almost thought he’d gone deaf too, because for a moment, all the sound around him was swallowed by the roar in his own skull, a deep, pounding, vibrating noise that made his teeth ache and his stomach twist.He braced one arm against the wall just to keep himself upright. The other hand was still locked around the clone’s wrist with that cold, too-smooth skin that wasn’t quite human. Every muscle in his body was screaming at him to move, to fight, to do something, but the heat in the air was suffocating. It wasn’t the warmth of life, not the heat of skin pressed against skin. It was the white-hot burn of something unnatural, something that didn’t belong in this world at all.And Alessio was done with it.His jaw
Monster Can Love Too CHAPTER SEVENTY-SEVEN: THE MIRROR
For a second, Alessio didn’t breathe.Couldn’t.Two Noas.Same face. Same scars. Same lazy tilt of the mouth like they were seconds away from saying something he’d regret hearing.The one in his arms was still and faintly glowing. The one in the doorway was standing, eyes open, shoulders squared, gaze locked right on him.“What” The word came out raw. Alessio stopped himself before finishing it. He wasn’t about to give either of them the satisfaction of hearing the question.The standing Noa smiled. A real one, not the twisted metallic imitation the drones had worn. The curve was soft. Almost sweet.“Hello, Alessio.”Every nerve in his body went on alert. “You’re not him.”The smile didn’t fade.“Aren’t I?”Ivy’s voice crackled faint in his ear. “Alessio, I’m picking up what the hell? I’ve got two identical biometrics in your location. This isn’t possible unless”“It’s possible,” the standing Noa cut in smoothly, eyes flicking toward Alessio’s comm like he could hear Ivy too. “ERA mak
Monster Can Love Too CHAPTER SEVENTY-SIX: PHASE TEN TERMINATED
The smell of burning circuitry hit before Alessio’s vision even fully adjusted. It wasn’t just a scent, it was thick in the back of his throat, acrid and metallic, the kind of smell that stuck to your clothes and made your eyes water. He blinked hard, once, twice, trying to force his vision to settle, but the darkness was still oppressive, swallowing the room whole.Tiny motes of light drifted through the black. For a second, his brain wanted to think they were absurd fireflies, wrong before he realized they were tiny shards of glass and scorched insulation hanging in the air. They caught what little illumination there was, winking like dying stars before spiraling to the floor. Somewhere to his right, a blown-out control panel sparked, a blue-white flare so bright it left a ghost-image burned in his vision. Then darkness again.Noa’s body was still in his arms. Still glowing faintly, the same slow, steady pulse, like light was being breathed out from under his skin. It wasn’t natural
