All Chapters of Torn Between Monsters : Chapter 181 - Chapter 190

~ Aria's POV ~I thought it was a joke when Thorne told me straight to my face that he had chosen Lyra over me. But I was wrong. He no longer looked my way and avoided me like I was a plague.As for Raven, I thought we were cool after he rushed back home to help Lucian from his father, only for him to avoid me the same way Thorne had done.I didn't know where I went wrong for them to suddenly keep their distance. They didn't even bother to ask if I was alright after their fathers' attack.Had I missed something while I was away? Everything started falling apart after I spent a few days away from them. And the more I tried to piece it together, the more confused I became.What really happened while I was away? This question bothered me day and night, and I couldn't find the answers.Lucian, on the other hand, refused to say a word to me. Whenever I asked, he'd tell me to forget about Thorne and Raven. He was always there when I needed him, but since my heart was divided into three, it

~ Aria's POV ~I stared at Jeremiah, completely lost for words. After he called me last night, I rushed to his hometown to see him. Thankfully, he had been discharged, but the bruises still painted his skin, and his broken leg kept him confined to a wheelchair."Are you still mad at me?" I whispered to him when all he had done was keep calm.He looked up and gave me a small, tired smile before shaking his head. "If I was still mad at you, I wouldn’t have reached out. Besides…" he exhaled deeply, guilt flickering across his face."I should be the one apologizing. I treated you unfairly and… if not for what you are… I probably would've killed you."A shaky breath escaped me. Relief washed over my chest like warm water. He wasn’t angry anymore, which meant we could be friends again. "I’m so sorry for how I treated you, Aria," he murmured, his voice thick with remorse. "I thought about everything, and I feel horrible. You may be a vampire, but you didn’t deserve what I did. Not when you s

~ Raven's POV ~"I will do what you want. I'm going to stay away from you. I won't ever look your way or try to patch things up with you. I'm going to give in to what you want."Her words didn’t just echo, they stabbed me sharp and merciless. I didn’t know whether to scream or fall to my knees. I had done this. I’d driven her away with harsh words and cold distance… but hearing her give up on me felt like the universe was tearing me apart from the inside.I wanted to tell her the truth, but where would I even begin? I had failed her. Failed to protect her when she needed me most.What use was being a hundred–year–old vampire if all I’d done for a century was look out only for myself? I had lived for decades yet accomplished nothing worth remembering.Even when I claimed I loved Isabel, I did nothing meaningful—just whispered empty confessions and shared her bed. A human, born and raised within a blink of my lifetime, was more worthy than me.I was nothing like Lucian, who had at least

~ Lucian's POV ~ My foot tapped impatiently against the pavement as I waited for Ryker to arrive at the location where he had promised to meet Aria. A storm of questions swirled violently through my mind. I knew the friends Alucard had. Even though I hadn't met them in person, he had mentioned their names to me. And these friends he told me about were all vampires who lived in London. He was never friends with a werewolf, and that's why it still bothers me that Ryker had claimed he was Alucard's friend. It gnawed at me, clawing at the back of my mind like a warning I couldn’t ignore. "I'm lost here, Lucian. What's going on?" Aria asked, her eyes filled with worry. She had been asking this question since last night, but I didn't answer her. I had nothing to say to her until I meet Ryker. "Say something, Lucian. Don't keep me in the dark," she pressed, hurt creeping into her voice, and just then Ryker arrived. "Sorry for keeping you waiting, Aria," he smiled at her. I studied him

~ Lucian's POV ~A heavy punch from Raven sent me crashing to the ground, and as if that wasn’t enough, Thorne’s fist slammed into me next."That's enough!" Sybille snapped, rushing to my side and helping me to my feet."Why are you such a liar, Lucian?!" Raven roared, eyes blazing as he stepped closer. "We didn't know you erased Skylight's memories, but because of you, she thinks we did!""If you’re so damn truthful," I shot back, glaring at him, "why didn’t you tell her the truth about what your father did?""Don’t try to turn this on us," Thorne growled, voice trembling with fury. "What you did was cruel.""Yes, it was cruel!" I bit out, chest heaving, "but I did it to protect her! The last thing I wanted was for her to awaken her powers. You both know how dangerous that would be. I wanted her to live as Aria, not as Rowena. I did everything I could so your fathers wouldn’t hunt her down, but I couldn’t interfere with her fate… so don’t you dare judge me when the two of you have do
