~ Aria's POV ~

I managed to stand up to my feet, but my whole body ached in pain. I couldn't feel my legs, but I still managed to take a step.

It took me a few agonizing minutes to realize Seraphina and her crew had brought me to an underground. No wonder she was so sure no one would hear me scream. And besides, I didn’t call for Lucian, Thorne, or Raven, which makes it even harder for them to hear me.

I staggered while using the jagged walls as support. Every breath felt like needles in my lungs. My strength was draining fast, but I knew if I didn’t escape this place, no one would ever know I was here.

With tears spilling from my eyes, I endured the pain aching from every part of my body. Although whatever power I have must've saved me from the vampires, not once have I ever been treated like this.

I was never bullied to this extent because I never allowed anyone to bully me. I used to be Aria Nightshade, the girl no one dared to lay a finger on, but now... I don't even know if I am

    ~ Aria's POV ~Thorne’s hands slipped around my waist, pulling me so close, it felt like he wanted to tattoo my body into his skin. His lips moved hungrily against mine, deepening the kiss with every second, as if he couldn't get enough of me.My fingers clutched the hem of his black T-shirt, holding on like it was the only thing grounding me. I let myself melt into the delicious sweetness of his mouth. This was my first kiss… and I was drowning in the warmth of it. His lips tasted like vanilla — warm, soft, and addictive.I wanted more. I craved more of his sinful lips on mine, but sadly, Thorne pulled back to catch his breath. Our lips were wet, swollen from the intensity of what had just happened. I could still hear the rapid pounding of our hearts — fast, loud, and in sync.My gaze lifted to his gray eyes, and suddenly I felt shy, pressing my lips together and looking away. I couldn’t believe I just had my first kiss… with Thorne."Was that... your first kiss?" he asked.Was it ob

    ~ Aria's POV ~Miss Hellcat's eyes were fixed on me as I stood in front of her, my hands folded around my chest, waiting for her to say something."Are you going to say something?" I snapped, my voice laced with irritation, "or are you just going to keep staring at me like I’m some freak show?""Why did you do that to your fellow students? Do you know you could've killed them?" she asked."Kill them?" I scoffed, my voice rising. "So it’s wrong when I defend myself, but it’s fine when they try to kill me? If I hadn’t done what I did, I’d be dead by now.""You know it’s against the rules of this school to use their weaknesses against them, right?" she said, knitting her brows."I don't care about the rules here, Miss Hellcat. As long as they want to keep hurting me, then I'm going to keep fighting back in any way I can. I won't let them bully me again," I replied firmly.I was expecting her to lash out at me and support the monsters like she always does, but instead of doing that, she s

    ~ Aria's POV ~The morning sun filtered through the curtains and kissed my skin, coaxing a soft smile to my lips. My eyes fluttered open slowly, adjusting to the light. I sat up on the bed, stretching all over with a smiling face. For the first time since I arrived in this school, I had slept peacefully, without being scared.After what I did to them last night, they won't even think about coming close to me. If they tried to act stubborn, I was ready for them. I wouldn't hesitate to fight back.Still grinning like a child with her favorite candy, I hopped out of bed, dancing to the beat of no music—or should I say, dancing to the music creating itself in my head.Last night was the best night of my life because I had done what those monsters least expected from me.As I hummed the tune in my head, I opened my wardrobe to look for something to wear, only to be met with emptiness. Then it occurred to me that I had literally packed my clothes into my luggage when I made up my mind to le

    ~ Aria's POV ~Jeremiah's eyes scanned through the list of items I had written, and when he was done reading it, he gave me a suspicious look."Are you hunting supernatural beings now? Why would you need silver, crucifixes, salt, irons, amulets, and runes?" he asked, narrowing his eyes."Just tell me where I can find them… and lend me some money too. I promise I’ll start working here immediately to pay you back," I said, nodding earnestly."What are you up to, Aria? You're... acting weird. Velmora is filled with supernatural beings, and these items you just mentioned are like their weakening point. So what do you need them for?" he pressed on, trying to get a glimpse of what I was up to.But I wasn’t ready to tell him the truth. I had written those items down because they were what the monsters in the Academy feared. And now that Jeremiah had said the same, I was fully convinced they’d work. If I didn’t have the power to fight back, then I’d use what they feared most.I won't be afrai

    ~ Aria's POV ~"Did you enjoy your meal?" Caspian asked as we stepped out of the restaurant. I had just finished a full plate of chicken rice, macaroni and cheese. I had eaten to my heart’s content because Caspian had told me to eat to my heart’s content.Since I wasn't enemies with food and just a broke girl whose mom had abandoned her, I didn't hesitate to order whatever I wanted.I beamed a small smile at Caspian. "Yes, I did. Thank you.""You're always welcome." He reached to pat my head, but I jerked his hand away. He looked at me and chuckled."You must hate it when guys come close to you, right?" he asked, and I nodded my head.Yeah... I do loathe it when guys try to touch me—guys except for, you know, my three handsome monsters. I hope they stop being mad and talk to me. They should at least be excited that I came back to the Academy."Do you want to go back to the Academy or do you want us to hang out a little?" he asked."I’d rather go back to the Academy," I said with a sof

    ~ Aria's POV ~ I stood there, completely confused about why they acted like I didn't exist. Wasn’t this what they wanted? For me to stay? So why were they treating me like a ghost? Then the mean words I had said to them—especially to Thorne—hit me, like an iron fist to the chest.Of course, Raven and Thorne were angry. They had every right to be after the way I spoke to them. But why was Lucian in it too? The only wrong I did was not saying goodbye to him, and he was kind of mean. Among the three of them, he was the only one who didn't try to stop me from leaving.I glanced over at him. For a second, his eyes met mine—but then he looked away, pretending he hadn’t seen me. He turned back to his friends. Isolde was there too, perched beside them like a queen on her poisonous throne, and the look she shot me could have peeled my skin off.Raven and Thorne didn't even take a moment to spare me a glance. They were laser-focused on their food like they hadn’t eaten in days. Like I didn’t m
