To Become The Monster Chapter 13
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

POV LioraWe stepped into the clearing, each of us hesitant, like intruders crossing a line we didn’t fully understand. The cabin loomed in front of us, darker now that we were closer, shadows pooling at its base. Rowan’s steps were quiet, controlled, and I stayed a careful pace behind him, Mae next to me, her usual grin subdued into a tight line of anticipation.Then she appeared.At first, I thought it was the sunlight playing tricks. A figure moved among the shadows, and my heart stuttered. She stepped forward, and the forest seemed to lean away, as if unwilling to touch her.She was stunning. Terrifying in a way that had nothing to do with fangs or claws. Her hair was silver-white, falling in soft waves to her waist, glinting with faint hints of moonlight, even in the morning. Her skin was pale, almost luminous, but not fragile—there was a hardness beneath the softness, the kind that spoke of centuries of surviving, enduring, ruling.Her eyes caught me first. Pale blue, ice-cold a

POV LioraThe streets of Kraithan were quiet, almost eerily so, as we slipped past the last of the sleeping city. Dawn was a pale smear across the horizon, gold pressing into gray, and the buildings leaned in like spectators waiting to see us fail. I kept my scarf high around my neck and my eyes on the shadows. Every corner, every alley could hide someone—or something.Mae jogged ahead, her red curls bouncing like fire. “Race you to the city edge!”I shook my head, tugging at my own boots. “You’re insane. You’ll get us killed before we even see a tree.”“Only if the city wakes before I do,” she called back, grinning over her shoulder.Rowan walked beside me, slow and deliberate, chains rattling faintly with each step. He didn’t look fast, but every step seemed measured, careful, like he was calculating the ground itself. I felt it, the quiet intensity he carried, the way his presence pressed against my chest without touching me.“Do you always move like this?” I asked, trying to keep

POV Liora Rowan didn’t hesitate once the decision settled in his eyes.“We leave before full sunrise,” he said, pushing himself upright from the cot. His movements were still stiff, but the worst of the weakness had retreated, like a tide pulling back just far enough to be dangerous. “She lives about an hour outside the city. Any later and we risk being seen.”Mae straightened from the counter. “An hour as in walking, or an hour as in vampire hour?”Rowan gave her a sideways glance. “Walking. Fast.”That narrowed it down to one thing—forest territory. Old ground. The kind that didn’t like cities pressing too close.“Who is she?” I asked. “Or is it a he? You keep saying ‘she,’ but I don’t trust vampires to get pronouns right.”Rowan’s mouth twitched, but he didn’t smile. “She is a woman. And she will correct you herself if you get it wrong.”That didn’t help my nerves.“How old?” I pressed. “Centuries? Millennia? Or just… old in that unsettling way?”Rowan paused, considering the ques
