All Chapters of Torn Between Monsters : Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

~ Aria's POV ~"Please, Aria, just this once," Callista pleaded softly as we walked through the hallway, her eyes glimmering with desperation."I didn't become a vampire just so I can help you pry into someone's life," I replied, my tone flat but edged with mild amusement."You're not prying into someone's life," she said quickly. "It’s my boyfriend. I just… I just want to know what he’s doing right now." Her lashes fluttered as she blinked up at me.“Seriously, Callista?” I asked with a faint smile."I wouldn’t have disturbed you if I had sharp hearing," she muttered with a pout. "You vampires and werewolves are so lucky. I’m… kind of jealous."A small chuckle escaped me."Please, tell me what he's up to," she pleaded again, and I decided to give in to her plea. Closing my eyes, I reached out with my senses, listening for Darian’s heartbeat. All I could hear was a faint, rhythmic snore."I think he’s sleeping, Callista," I murmured."Really? He’s not with some other girl?" she asked n

~ Aria's POV ~"Please, Jeremiah, stop!" I screamed, my voice breaking as the searing pain tore through me. The hot iron hissed against my skin, burning me to the bone. Even though the wounds healed as fast as they appeared, the agony was as scorching as hellfire.I still couldn’t comprehend how I’d ended up in chains. The last thing I remembered was Jeremiah’s horrified face when he discovered that I was a vampire. He had struck me across the face with a wooden stake, his eyes burning with anger.I didn't want to hurt him, which was why I tried to keep my calm, trying all I could to explain myself to him, but he kept throwing garlic at me.The smell had an effect on me. He slammed into a shelf, and the pile of books fell to the ground. I knew with one single move, I'd be able to send him flying across the library, since he was human.And because he was human, I restrained myself from hurting him."Jeremiah... let me explain how I became a vampire," I had pleaded with him. But he hear

~ Aria's POV ~I buried my face against the cold floor, refusing to meet their piercing gazes that clung to me like shackles. We were back at the academy. Callista was lucky; they had let her go. But me? I was taken to a quiet, empty room that felt more like a cage than a sanctuary."Do you mind explaining why you lied about being unconscious?" Raven’s voice was the first to cut through the silence.I lifted my head slightly but quickly lowered it again, my hands clasped together so tightly that my knuckles turned white. I felt like a little girl awaiting punishment from her strict parents."I just asked a question, Skylight," Raven pressed, irritation dripping from his tone."Don't speak to her that way!" Lucian snapped."And how exactly am I talking to her?" Raven shot back. "I just want to know why she lied!" His voice rose sharply."Don’t raise your voice at me," Lucian warned, his aura darkening."And what are you going to do if I don't?" Raven shot back."The both of you should

~ Aria's POV ~I stood in front of the orphanage building in front of me, anticipating if I should take the bold step or not. I had asked permission from Miss Hellcat to go back to Greystone Falls.I didn't tell anyone, not even Callista, that I was coming here. I hadn't spoken to either Thorne, Lucian, or Raven, and even if I had, I wouldn't have told them I was going back to Greystone Falls.A nun approached and asked, "How may I help you, Miss?"I gave her a warm smile before speaking. "Good afternoon, Sister.""You too, my dear. What brings you here?" she asked kindly."I came here because I am curious about something.""Go ahead and say it. If it's something I can help you with, I will gladly offer my help.""Thank you. Do you remember Janet Nightshade?" I asked, with a knitted brow, hoping she'd remember my mom.She thought for a while before nodding her head. "I think I know her... Yes, I remember her now. She was a woman who had lost her child due to miscarriage. She had adopt

~ Aria's POV ~The cold wind brushed against my skin as my eyes wandered around the quiet woods while I tried to imagine what would've made my parents leave me here. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t come up with a single clue. I had been just a baby when it all happened. How could I possibly remember that fateful day?Tears rushed down my cheeks. I badly wanted to know where my parents are and why they kept hiding from me. I had thought Lucian would've a clue about where they could be, but like he said, he didn't know who my parents were.*If you want to know about your mom, you should ask Thorne's father, Ryker and Caspian's voices echoed loudly in my ears*Maybe they were right. Maybe Thorne’s father held the answers I was desperately searching for. But how could I meet him? I was a vampire now, and Thorne would never allow me anywhere near his father.I wiped my tears and turned to leave, but I was taken aback when I saw Alistair, Raven's father.I was surprised and at th
