Semua Bab Torn Between Monsters : Bab 81 - Bab 90

~ Lucian's POV ~Aria Nightshade.Her beauty shines brighter than the morning sun. Whenever she laughed, whenever her lips curved into a smile, the world stood still. Time itself seemed to surrender to her glow.I have watched her grow up.I know I would often tell her she was the last person I would ever lie to. But that wasn’t entirely true. I have lied to her so many times, but when I told her how I felt that fateful day, I didn’t lie about that.I loved her long before she even knew someone like me existed.Still... I lied to her.It was coincidental that she just happened to be everywhere I looked. I have secretly followed her, watching her every move. That’s how I got to know so much about her—for example, her favorite food, favorite flower, and how she was obsessed with the popular old movie Spider-Man.I had watched her so many times repeatedly watching the movie, over and over again, until her fascination finally faded.Whenever she cried, I wanted to go to her so badly to wip

~ Thorne's POV ~I have always distanced myself from humans. They were always unpredictable and ungrateful, at least that was what my father would often say.Born into the Blackthorn Pack, where everyone already knew I was destined to be the next Alpha, I’ve spent my life following the Pack’s rules. I did everything expected of me, for example, becoming a mate to Lyra even when she wasn't granted to me by The Moon Goddess.I have always been unapproachable to everyone outside my Pack. Cold and brooding—at least that's what people think about me. But within my Pack, I'm just a twenty-year-old wolf who always follows the wishes of his father."Be nice to Lyra." "Show her more love, she's your future Luna." "Always listen to her when she needs to be heard." "Be there for her when she needs you." These are the words of my father.I always do anything he tells me, not just because I want to be a good son. Come to think of it, my father and I don't really have a father-and-son relationship.

~ Aria's POV ~"How is he, doctor?" I asked with a pounding heart, my gaze fixed on Jeremiah, who hadn’t opened his eyes in over two hours."He’s fine. He may have sustained a few injuries, but thankfully, there’s no internal bleeding. He’ll need to stay here for observation while we keep checking up on him,” the doctor explained gently.Relief washed over me, though my chest still ached. "Thank you, doctor."He paused, eyeing me curiously. "Are you his girlfriend… or his sister?""I'm a friend," I muttered."If that's the case, you should inform his family. Though he's fine, they still need to know what happened to him."Even though I had no idea about his family, I nodded my head. The doctor left, and I stood beside Jeremiah, watching him.Thorne's anger was beyond repair. I could still remember how Jeremiah had intervened between Raven and me, but he managed to control himself and not hurt him. But in Thorne's case, it was different. He shoved him, forgetting he's a werewolf and Jer

~ Aria's POV ~Thorne and I held hands as we stepped out of the cottage. His gaze lingered on me with a smile that warmed my chest."Are you sure you can go back to the Academy alone? I don’t mind taking you back," he said, his tone gentle and protective."I don't want you to be late for your sister's birthday party. I can go back to the Academy, and also I need to check up on Jeremiah," I replied.Thorne frowned and pulled me closer. "You're mine now, don't go to him."I smiled lightly. "He's in that hospital bed because of you, Thorne. I need to see if he has woken up. Moreover, you already promised to apologize to him."He groaned, resting his head on my shoulder with a boyish pout. "I know… you don’t have to remind me." When he lifted his head again, he was smiling."Should I ditch Nyx’s birthday and stay with you? I want to be with you," he murmured, brushing his thumb across my lips in a way that made my heart stumble."You can't do that, Thorne. Your sister will be sad if you d

~ Aria's POV ~After a few seconds of being in his arms, I pulled away, his eyes on me."You should also talk to the monsters here," I said, guilt still gnawing at my chest."Why? Did they do something wrong?" he asked, concern lacing his tone."Not really. They happen to see me banging on your door and calling your name. I don't want them spreading rumours about it," I muttered, scared that if the monsters spread how I had come to Raven's room, it'd get to the hearing of both Lucian and Thorne."Is that what you want?" he asked softly, cupping my face in his cold, steady hands.My eyes reached for his, and I nodded my head."Alright. I will be right back. Once I talk to them, they won't say a word."With that, he went out of his room. With just one word from him, every monster on the fifth floor came out from their various rooms.Somewhere were vampires, ghouls, and somewhere dragons. I stood by the door, listening to the conversation he was having with them.I could hear him, becaus
