~ 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

    ~ Lucian's POV ~I let out a deep sigh as Sybille finished the last murmured words of the healing spell. After my fight with both Raven and Thorne, and after I found out what Aria had been up to, I went to Sybille's house."It's all healed up now," she said."Thanks," I muttered, with a sad voice as I reflected on everything Aria had said a few hours ago."Is everything okay with you?" Sybille asked.I glanced at her and forced a nod. “Yes. I’m fine.”"I don't believe you, Lucian. Why did you sustain so many injuries, and why do you have a sad look on your face?" she asked."I just said I'm fine, why can't you believe me?" I murmured."Because your profession is to lie. You lie about so many things and never want anyone to know your pains."Sybille was right.I always know how to hide my pain with a smile. Even when my heart was burning in pain after finding out that Aria had been cheating on me with both Thorne and Raven, I still managed to smile at Sybille when I arrived at her hous

    ~ Thorne's POV ~I sat down on the cold tiled floor unable to believe what she had said. Her words kept looping in my head like a cruel refrain. How could she have done something so… heartless?When we kissed that very day at the cottage, she had kissed me in such a way that gave me all the confidence in the world that she loved me.Even if she never told me she loved me back, the way she smiled at me, kissed me, and hugged me convinced me that she loved me. I kept telling myself every day that I didn't need to hear those words from her, that her actions were enough to prove that I owned all of her heart.But all this time, I had been making a fool out of myself believing that I owned her heart, not knowing I was sharing it with someone else, or maybe I didn't even have a place in her heart.How could she have fooled me this way? How could she have accepted to be mine and still went ahead to be involved with both Raven and Lucian?It stung.It stung so much because I had never felt th

    ~ Raven's POV ~"I dated the three of you." Her words landed like a fist, reverberating in my skull as I tipped the seventh bottle of vodka onto the table.I was trying to ease the pain by consuming alcohol, but it was pointless. Her words kept echoing in my ears loud and clear, and the more they echoed the more pain I felt.The alcohol wasn't doing anything to make me forget the pain. Maybe I'd have blackout if I was just an ordinary human, but I am a vampire and such doesn't work on me.The pain was too much for me to bear. It wasn't even comparable to the pain I felt when Isabel betrayed me.Aria's betrayal felt like a rod driving into my chest heartlessly and menacingly.When I had forced Sloane to draw a fake picture of me drowning, and how she had rushed to me just to see if I was okay, I felt like the happiest person on earth because she cared about my existence.And when she finally agreed to be mine, I had made up my mind to give her everything. To love her the best way I cou

    ~ Aria's POV ~Before I could form a word, Lucian lunged angrily at Thorne. Thorne's back slammed hard against the wall."How dare you touch her?!" Lucian roared, his eyes flashing purple.Thorne angrily pushed Lucian away and Lucian staggered backward."Aria is my woman, I have every right to touch her?!" Thorne raged at Lucian.Shock and rage contorted both Lucian’s and Raven’s faces. I didn't know where to look.With anger, Raven grabbed Thorne's neck. "What did you just say? Repeat what you just said!" His voice thundered with a dangerous edge I’d never heard before.Thorne tried to shove his hand away, but Raven didn't give him the chance."Aria is mine. She belongs to him!" Thorne yelled."How can she be yours when she's mine?!" Raven yelled back with the same energy, and he punched Thorne."Aria is my girlfriend. She belongs to me!" Raven yelled, but that earned him a kick from Lucian.Raven stumbled from the hit, his eyes turned crimson as he glared at Lucian, his fangs bared.

    ~ Aria's POV ~Raven left after he made sure I was fast asleep, and when I woke up in the middle of the night, I saw Lucian sitting beside me on the bed."Lucian," I whispered his name."Why did you wake up? I wanted to watch you throughout the night," he murmured, reaching for my chin."My throat is dry and I want to drink water," I replied."Water," he repeated and nodded his head.He stood up, disappeared into a shadow and returned with a cup of water."Here you go, Little Sparkles," he offered me the water, which I accepted and emptied the cup."How are you feeling now?""I'm back to being myself. The antidote helped. I'm no longer weak," I smiled at him and he returned the smile.My eyes gazed over to Callista's bed, and she wasn't there. The bed didn't look like someone had layed on it."Where's Callista?""She's with Darian. I saw her leaving with him when I came here and found you sleeping.""You've been here watching me sleep?" I asked with a smile."I've done it before. It's

    ~ Aria's POV ~My eyes were heavy as I tried to open them, and when I eventually opened my eyes the world seemed blurry for a moment.I had to blink my eyes twice before I could see clearly. I was in my room, lying on my bed, unable to move. I was so weak. it felt like I was dying slowly.I tried getting up from the bed, but the door opened and Callista rushed in."Don't force it, Aria. You can't get up yet. The antidote is still working on your body," she said.My brows knitted in confusion. The last thing I remembered was bleeding from my nose, ears and mouth after I ate the pizza."What antidote are you talking about?" I asked. My voice was very weak, even I couldn't clearly hear what I had just said.Callista exhaled deeply."It turns out that the pizza you ate was poisonous," she replied.The words landed like a slap. My eyes widened. "What are you talking about, Callista? Why would Thorne poison me?""The pizza wasn't from Thorne. It turns out that Elara and Lyra conspired with
