~ Aria's POV ~

"Are you sure about that?" he asked, his eyes lingering deeper on my lips that were already craving his.

"I'm sure of it, Raven. But if you don't want to kiss me, it's fine," I muttered, trying to walk away from him, but he pulled me back and smashed his lips on mine.

A surprised smile curved against my lips as I kissed him back. Just like I’d imagined, his lips weren’t as warm as Lucian’s or Thorne’s—but that didn’t make them any less intoxicating. His kiss had its own taste, its own rhythm.

He started slow, gentle… then gradually added urgency, a hunger that matched my own. I melted into him, losing myself in the press and pull of his mouth. My fingers curled into his messy hair while his hands stayed firm at my back, anchoring me as if letting go would mean losing me.

Heat built between us until I could barely think. He lifted me effortlessly, my legs wrapping around his waist, and the kiss deepened until the rest of the world ceased to exist.

    ~ Aria's POV ~Lucian stared at me, waiting for my answer. This was the perfect moment to tell him how I felt, yet my voice faltered. Why was I holding back? Was it because of my feelings for Raven and Thorne too?"Little Sparkles," he called in a whisper.I cleared my throat, my gaze flicking sideways as I searched for the right words. I had brought this upon myself by letting my jealousy show, and now I had to dance to the rhythm of the tangled emotions I’d created."Well..." I began, but I was interrupted by the voice of Sybille."You're finally awake?" she asked.Lucian was backing her, so he turned to look at her. A smile tugged at his lips before he strode toward her to give her a hug."Do you miss me that much?" he asked.Sybille pushed away. "When will you stop being stubborn?""I'm fine, aren't I?" he asked with a grin."You think it's funny? You know what? I shouldn't have agreed to your pleading. If I hadn't done that, you wouldn't have been suffering because of her....""S

    ~ Aria's POV ~I blinked several times, my mind scrambling to process what I’d just heard. Was Lucian… confessing his feelings for me? Did he feel the same way I felt for him? My heart was caught between excitement and panic. What should I do? How do I respond to him?This wasn't the first time I'd been hearing a confession from a guy, but Lucian wasn't just any guy. What should I say? Should I say I love him too? But that wasn't what he said. Was obsession also the same thing as love?These questions repeated themselves continuously in my head. Then Lucian held my hand and smiled like he was known for."It's not a pressure. You don't have to say anything," he said.Here he goes again, making me suspicious that he might, one way or another, be hearing my thoughts. But he already said he could easily make a guess. And in this situation, anyone would surely know what I was thinking through my body language."You're sure about that?" I asked, swallowing hard, as if there was a lump lodge

    ~ Aria's POV ~Lucian walked toward me and grabbed the photo album. He didn't look sick anymore and was a little bit of the Lucian I was used to. His lips weren't dry or cracked anymore."Why are you here? Shouldn't you have gone back to the Academy?" he asked."I didn't go back to the Academy…" I started, but stopped halfway, shaking my head. No. I should be the one asking questions."Why do you have so many pictures of me? Have you been watching me my whole life?" I asked."It's not the way you think," he whispered."Then tell me, Lucian. You knew me all this time and pretended you didn't?!" I asked. I didn’t mean to raise my voice, but the shock and disbelief came out sharper than I intended.It was really shocking to know that Lucian had pictures of my entire life. He had been watching me, and yet I didn't have a clue about it."Why are you so quiet? How did you get to know me? Didn't you say you've been in Velmora your whole life?""I never said that, Little Sparkles. I've lived

    ~ Aria's POV ~I couldn't understand what she meant by Lucian leaving his sick bed after he found out I was in pain. Why was he in this state because of me? How does he feel my pain when we don't share the same soul?"Lucian feels my pain?" I muttered, my eyes darting between Lucian and Sybille."He...""Sybille," Lucian called her name with a faint voice.She rushed to him immediately, her expression tightening. "I don’t know why you’re so stubborn, Lucian. She’ll be the end of you one day," she muttered, bracing him to help him stand.Though confused about everything she had just said, I tried to assist her in helping Lucian, but she stopped me with a glare."Don't bother," she snarled and finally helped Lucian up. She led him to the bed, where she began murmuring some incantations and performing magic.Within minutes, Lucian’s eyes fluttered closed and he drifted into a deep sleep. She covered him with a mattress-thick quilt, then sat beside him, her fingers combing through his hai

    ~ Aria's POV ~"What the heck is this, Isolde? Why would you put me into an illusion?!" I yelled, my voice cracking with fury as the waves below roared, sending gusts of salty wind that whipped my hair wildly around my face."You think you’ve won just because you managed to scare me a little?" she sneered, her lips curling in mocking amusement. “I’m a succubus, Aria. I can twist your mind into believing anything I want… just like I made you believe I was your mother.""So what are you going to do? Kill me?" I asked, with a confident voice, but deep down, my heart was slamming against my ribs, every beat echoing with fear.I was surrounded by water on all sides, standing on the edge of a jagged cliff. I didn’t know how to swim—and even if I could, the furious ocean beneath would swallow me whole before I had a chance.Isolde smirked and took a slow, deliberate step closer. "Killing you would give me everything I want. I’d have Lucian back… and you’d finally pay for what you did to him.

    ~ Aria's POV ~I shoved Seraphina away from my ears as my widened eyes stared at her."What do you mean by what you just said?" My voice trembled, my heart pounding hard against my ribs.Her lips curled into a smug, infuriating smirk, and she turned to walk away, but I held her hand. "Explain the meaning of what you just said, Seraphina," I demanded.She jerked my hand off, and I almost staggered due to the fact that she was stronger than me. She didn't say a word; she just gave a weird smile and walked away from me.Was Seraphina the reason Isabel died?Does Raven know about it? I'm sure he doesn't. If he did, Seraphina wouldn't be alive right now.I tried going after her, but a hand pulled me back, and when I turned behind me, I discovered it was Caspian.He had appeared just like a ghost as always."Don't go after her. She's dangerous," he said."She said something weird. I need to go after her and ask her what she meant." I tried to leave again, but Caspian held my hand."Stop hol
