To Become The Monster Chapter 16
Liora — POVWe decided to leave at dusk.Not dawn.Not even close.Rowan makes that clear the moment the idea is suggested.“The sun will not forgive you,” he says quietly, and there’s something in his voice I haven’t heard before. Not authority. Not calculation.Worry.He tries to hide it, but I feel it—sharp and restless. He’s seen what daylight does to newborn vampires. He knows how quickly skin blisters, how fast panic makes you stumble into open light.So we leave when the sun is falling, not rising.That way, we travel into darkness.That way, we aren’t racing against the morning.Ilythra insists we feed first.Properly.“No half measures,” she tells us.The blood is warmed again. Thick. Iron-rich. It fills me differently now—less like survival, more like fuel. My limbs feel steady afterward. My mind clears. The sharp edge of hunger dulls into something manageable.Mae drinks slower than I do, but she finishes.Rowan watches both of us carefully.“Again,” he says when I lower th

POV LioraThe street lies to everyone but me.To the others, it’s just stone and shadow, a ruined stretch of alley where bodies have already been cleared and the living pretend nothing happened. The night air smells faintly metallic, but even that is fading. Rain earlier tried to wash the truth away.It failed.I step into the alley and the world changes.The city dims, like a candle turned low, and the ground ignites beneath my feet—not with light, but with meaning.Blood blooms across the stones.Layered. Counted. Cataloged.Human blood is the first thing I register—thin, pale, almost translucent. Fear-heavy. The kind spilled by people who never saw the blow coming. There isn’t much of it here, only residue tracked in by boots and panic. Bystanders. Collateral.Then the wolves.Their blood burns hotter, thicker, streaked through with silvered heat. Three distinct signatures. No—four. One was injured but escaped. Alpha-trained fighters. Not scavengers. Not young.They came prepared.

Mae wakes with a gasp.Her body jerks upright, eyes flying open like she’s been pulled back from the edge of something endless. I’m at her side instantly, my hands gripping her shoulders before she can even register where she is.“Mae,” I whisper. “You’re safe. You’re—”Her eyes lock on mine.Green. Still green—but brighter. Deeper. As if someone polished the color until it could cut.She blinks once. Twice. Then her breath steadies, and her gaze drifts, taking in the room with unsettling clarity. She looks down at her hands, flexes her fingers slowly.“I feel…” She swallows. “Too much.”I let out a breath I didn’t realize I was holding. “Yeah,” I murmured. “Me too.”Ilythra steps forward then, her presence commanding the space without raising her voice. She looks between us with an intensity that makes my spine straighten instinctively.“Good,” she says softly. “That means you survived properly.”Mae’s head snaps up. “Properly?”Ilythra smiles—not kindly, not cruelly. Knowing. “You a

POV LioraI asked her first.I remember that clearly—my voice steady despite the terror clawing up my spine. I asked her what I would become, what she would make of me if I said yes.A vampire, the ancient one had answered, as if it were nothing more than a fact of weather.So when the pain begins, I know exactly what it means.It hits all at once.Fire erupts beneath my skin, not from the outside in, but from the deepest parts of me—my blood igniting in my veins, my bones screaming as if they are being pulled apart and reforged. I arch instinctively, a sound tearing from my throat before I can stop it.This isn’t pain meant to kill.This is pain meant to change.It feels like my body is being rewritten cell by cell, every weakness burned out and replaced with something stronger, colder. Heat floods my chest, my limbs, my skull. My heart stutters—once, twice—then seizes entirely.There is a moment of terrifying clarity.This is the point of no return.Then the burning intensifies.I f

POV Liora“Yes.”The word settled into the room like a final stone placed on a grave.The Ancient One did not raise her voice. She didn’t need to. Power hummed beneath the syllable, old and patient and absolute.“Yes,” she repeated, pale blue eyes lifting to meet mine. “I will change you.”My chest tightened—relief sharp enough to hurt—but it didn’t last.She turned her head slowly toward Rowan.“But not for free.”Rowan straightened instantly. Whatever weakness still lingered in him vanished beneath instinct. His shoulders squared, jaw locking like he’d just stepped onto a battlefield he knew too well.“I figured,” he said evenly.The Ancient One stood then, her movement unhurried, robes whispering against the floor. When she passed me, the air chilled—like stepping through a shadow that remembered winter.“Turning is not blood alone,” she said. “It is inheritance.”She stopped in front of Rowan.“And inheritance always comes with a price.”Mae glanced at me, eyes wide, but she staye

POV LioraThe Ancient One did not sit.She moved around us instead, slow and unhurried, her bare feet making no sound against the stone. Her presence pressed in from all sides, like the air had thickened just for her. Mae sat stiff beside me, hands knotted in her lap. Rowan stayed near the door, shoulders tight, like a man braced for a strike he couldn’t dodge.“Tell me,” the Ancient One said calmly, “why mortals believe becoming a monster will save them.”Her pale blue eyes fixed on me.I felt my throat tighten—but I didn’t look away.“Because I hid,” I said.The words surprised even me. They came out steady. Cold.“I hid when my village burned. I hid when I thought I couldn’t do anything. I listened. I watched. I survived.” My hands curled into fists. “And everyone else died.”The Ancient One stopped moving.I stood before she could say anything, the floor cold beneath my bare feet.“Now,” I continued, voice shaking but unbroken, “I’m choosing to become the monster who didn’t give a
