All Chapters of The Rise Of The Ugly Luna: Chapter 251 - Chapter 260

LYRICBianca was already waiting outside her apartment for me by the time I arrived. Her face was covered with worry, her eyes watching me like a hawk as I stepped out of my car."Ma'am. A—Are you alright? I was worried when you called to know if I was home."My hands were slightly shaking. I wondered if Bianca noticed."Can we just...go in?""Of course."She led me into her apartment. It was a two bedroom, comfortable enough for a single lady.My bag dropped to the floor as I sat on the couch."Would you like a glass of water?"I managed a nod. By the moon, how was I even still breathing? It felt as if there was something wrapping tight around my throat. Fuck, I really couldn't breathe.I grabbed the glass from Blanca when she returned, drinking every last drop. Funny how I'd gone to Ericka to get answers for Jaris and left with questions on Caden.Why did she have to say it? Why did it have to be true?No. It wasn't true. It couldn't be.I wished I could go really far from here.

LYRICWho would've thought that a word so common would become the bane of my existence? At first, I'd chosen to forget the meaning of the word when Ericka told me about it at the diner. But then, she explained more, and as much as I wanted to remain in self-denial, I knew she was right. Caden and I were fated mates. The monster who has hurt me more than anyone ever had, was my fated. How fucking hilarious!"Tell me you feel it, Lyric." He stood up. "Tell me it makes sense to you."My throat was clogged. My eyes glistened with tears I wished would stay back. "I was just as confused when I got to know. But then, it made sense, you know? You couldn't Siphon me. And one thing about fated Siphons was they could never hurt their fated mate. They could only Siphon them when they're trying to help."A treacherous tear finally broke free. He wasn't going to talk about Jaris' mate, was he?Of course, not. To him, his secret was still well respected. But he was right. Siphons could

Caden had a fight to plan. He was suddenly appreciative for keeping more of Lyric's blood back then as that was what he planned to use on Jaris.He had it in mind to begin the plot as soon as he returned to the Pack. He was taking Jaris down tonight and getting Lyric back. He was going to make her pay dearly for wanting to leave him in the first place.However, he was in for a surprise when he reached the Pack.Corey, his right-hand man had been waiting in the parking lot where he delivered the news."Lyric is here. She came back on her own."****†****† LYRICSometimes, a decision might seem like the most stupid one. But what could you do when it was the only one you could make?I nervously rubbed my hands together, my eyes pinned at the door, waiting for the moment Caden would show up. I knew he was back. The question was: what was he going to do to me?My heart skipped out of my chest when the door opened abruptly. Chills traveled from his cold eyes to my spine.Making the de

JARIS I didn't think I'd seen Marta pale so quickly. I watched as the last shred of hope slowly dissipated from her eyes, replaced by a strange kind of fear.If there was one thing Marta Monroe feared losing the most, it was herself.Lyric locked her eyes on me, asking for the go-ahead. I gave it."Okay," she nodded, then turned to Marta.Her hand gripped her wrist again. Her nails sank deep."I know where she is!"A terrified shriek ripped the silence, only for it to be stitched back together by an unnerving stillness., broken only by Marta's ragged breaths.Something snapped in my chest. Something old. I realized it was the tiny shred of respect I once had for her."You're right," I could hear her loud intake of breath. "I helped Caden. G—Greta has been with me."I said nothing. Only stared.The silence stretched, saying more than words could. It became unbearable, and she broke down in tears."I'm sorry. I just wanted you out of the way. Caden... Caden told me we could work to

LYRICGreta was taken to the hospital in the Capital under a different identity. Jaris ensured the people that would have access to her were very limited, and even the few that did, although being people he trusted, didn't know who Greta was or why she was brought in that state. Jaris was sure news of her release wouldn't get to Caden.I couldn't get over the state she'd be found in. I had been too shocked at first to believe that was human, let alone Jaris' mate. How could Caden have been so evil? So heartless?And Marta? An entire family kept her locked up like some rat. These people had grandchildren!The girl was messed up in the head. I couldn't begin to imagine the mental and physical torture she must've had to put up with. Killing the Monroes wasn't enough for me. Caden was the bigger monster here and now more than ever, I wanted to bring him to the ground.I came up with a plan. It was a huge risk, but for the first time, I didn't mind dying. If I get to take Caden down
