Semua Bab His Forbidden Obsession: Tempting The Devil I Can't Have: Bab 41 - Bab 50

Chapter 41: Back to Normal Jace's Pov Things felt normal again, or at least close enough to it that I could pretend.Practice had been solid for the past few days, and my body finally felt like it was catching up with everything I was asking it to do. The pain was still there sometimes, especially when I pushed too hard, but it was manageable now. I knew my limits again, and more importantly, I knew how to ignore them when I needed to.Nyra had been around too.Not hovering the way she used to at the beginning, and not controlling every move I made like I was part of some plan she needed to keep on track. She showed up, watched, sometimes said something, sometimes didn’t, and then left. It was… easier.We talked more like normal people now.That was new.I leaned back against the boards after practice, pulling off my helmet as I ran a hand through my hair. The rink was starting to empty out, and the noise was fading into something quieter.“You’re staring again.”I glanced to the si

Chapter 43: The Party Jace's Pov By the time I got to Mason’s place, the party had already taken over the entire building.Music was blasting from inside, loud enough that I could feel the bass through the door before I even stepped in. People were gathered outside too, some sitting on the low wall, others standing in small groups with drinks in their hands, talking like the night had just started for them even though it clearly hadn’t.I paused for a second, adjusting my jacket as I looked toward the door. Normally, I would have walked straight in without thinking about it, but tonight felt slightly different in a way I could not explain properly. I told myself it was nothing and pushed the door open.The heat hit me first.The place was packed, and the air inside felt heavy from too many people in one space. The music was louder now, filling every corner, and the lights were dim enough to blur everything together while still letting you see faces if you looked close enough. People

Chapter 45: Aria Returns Jace's Pov I should have known the night wouldn’t stay calm for long.Things had settled into something easy after a while. Nyra stayed close, not in a way that felt forced, but in a way that made everything around us feel a little more grounded. We talked, moved through the crowd, and for once, I wasn’t thinking about anything outside that moment.That should have been a warning.“Jace.”I didn’t need to turn to know who it was.Nyra felt it too. I could tell by the way her posture shifted slightly beside me, like something in the air changed before the situation even fully revealed itself.I turned anyway.Aria stood a few steps away, her arms crossed, her expression already set in that familiar way that meant she wasn’t here to be casual about anything. She looked exactly the same, confident, sharp, and already ready to start something.“Didn’t expect to see you here,” I said.“That’s funny,” she replied. “I could say the same thing.”Her eyes moved to Ny

Chapter 47: After the Party Jace's Pov By the time we stepped outside, the noise from the party faded just enough for everything else to feel louder.The air was cooler, and it hit differently after being inside for so long. I ran a hand through my hair and exhaled slowly, trying to shake off the weight that had been building all night, but it didn’t go anywhere.Nyra stood a few steps away from me, her arms loosely crossed as she looked out toward the street. The lights from inside still spilled through the windows behind us, but out here, everything felt quieter, more real.“You always leave early?” she asked.“Not always,” I replied. “Just when it starts getting too much.”She nodded slightly, like she understood that without needing me to explain it further.“It wasn’t what I expected,” she said.“In a bad way?” I asked.“No,” she replied. “Just… different.”I leaned against the side of the car, watching her for a second.“You handled it well,” I said.“I told you I would,” she

Chapter 49: Something Off Jace's Pov I did not sleep well that night, and it had nothing to do with training or physical exhaustion. My body was tired, but my mind refused to shut down, and every time I closed my eyes, I kept replaying the same moments from the night before. I tried to ignore it, turning over in bed and telling myself it was not a big deal, but that did not change anything. Nyra’s voice stayed in my head, especially the way she said she was fine when it was obvious she was not.By the time morning came, I gave up on trying to get more rest and got out of bed. I moved through my routine without thinking too much about it, threw on my clothes, and headed straight to the rink. I figured if I kept myself busy, I would not have to deal with everything sitting in the back of my mind.The cold air hit me as soon as I stepped onto the ice, and for a moment, it felt like exactly what I needed. I pushed forward, picking up speed quickly, letting the movement take over. I foc
