All Chapters of The Moon Choose Him, I Didn´t : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

(Aria’s POV) “Yes.”That single word—It didn’t echo.It didn’t fade.It settled.Deep.Heavy.Permanent.“You did something to me.”And he admitted it.My chest tightened as I took another step closer, ignoring the way Kael shifted beside me.Ignoring the tension.The danger.The way everything felt like it was about to break again.“What did you take?” I asked.My voice didn’t shake.That surprised me.Because inside—I was unraveling.(Kael’s POV) This is going too far.She’s too close.Not physically.Emotionally.And that’s worse.I stepped forward, placing myself between them again.“Whatever this is,” I said coldly, “it ends now.”Her reaction was immediate.“Move.”Not loud.Not aggressive.Worse.Certain.(Aria’s POV) “Move, Kael.”His gaze snapped to mine.Sharp.Unyielding.“No.”The word hit hard.And something inside me—Pushed back.The bond reacted instantly.Not submission.Resistance.“I’m not asking.”The air shifted.Because this time—I meant it.(Kael’s POV) S

(Aria’s POV) I couldn’t stop thinking about what Lila said.You were never meant to have both.The words wouldn’t leave me alone.Even now, hours later, they still echoed inside my head like something alive.Both.Two bonds.Two connections.Two—No.That still didn’t make sense.It shouldn’t be possible.And yet—I felt them.Kael.Strong. grounding. consuming.And Adrian—faint… but deeper than distance should allow.Like something buried beneath my skin.I hated it.Or maybe—What I hated was that part of me wanted answers more than escape.(Kael’s POV) She’s withdrawing.Not physically.Mentally.I can feel it through the bond.The distance.The thinking.The questions.And I know exactly why.Because now she understands enough to be dangerous.But not enough to survive the truth.That’s worse.(Aria’s POV) I waited until nightfall.Not because I was afraid.Because I knew Kael would try to stop me if he knew where I was going.The old archives sat beneath the eastern side of t

(Aria’s POV) Heir.The word echoed through the archives like a curse.Or a warning.My body went completely still.The silver necklace trembled slightly in my hand, cold against my skin despite the heat building beneath my mark.Heir.Kael hadn’t moved.That scared me more than the creature speaking.Slowly, I turned toward him.“What did it mean?”Silence.Of course.But this silence felt different.Not avoidance.Not hesitation.Recognition.“You know,” I whispered.Kael’s jaw tightened.The guardian creature remained lowered beside me, watching both of us carefully.Waiting.“I know enough,” Kael said quietly.Anger flared instantly.“I am so tired of that answer.”The room trembled slightly.Not violently.But enough.The creature’s silver eyes shifted toward me again.Alert.Like it was measuring my control.Or my instability.I looked back down at the necklace in my hand.The symbol carved into the silver looked almost alive beneath the dim light.And suddenly—another memory h

(Aria’s POV) I couldn’t breathe.The memory clung to me even after it ended, wrapping around my chest like invisible hands tightening slowly.Then come with me.I can’t.Pain twisted deep inside me.Not physical.Worse.Loss.My knees weakened slightly.Kael steadied me immediately.Of course he did.But this time—when he touched me—the bond didn’t calm me completely.Part of me still reached elsewhere.Toward him.Toward Adrian.I hated that.(Kael’s POV) I felt it.The hesitation.The split.And for the first time since this started—fear became something real inside me.Not fear of her power.Not fear of the prophecy.Fear of losing her.My grip tightened slightly around her arm.“Stay with me.”The words came out rougher than I intended.Her eyes lifted to mine.Silver flickering faintly beneath them.Conflicted.That’s worse.(Aria’s POV) “Why does it hurt?” I whispered.Kael didn’t answer immediately.Because he knew I wasn’t talking about the bond.I was talking about the

(Aria’s POV) The scream ripped out of me before I could stop it.Power exploded through the archives in violent waves of silver light, slamming into walls, tearing shelves apart, shattering wood and stone like paper.The guardian snarled sharply.Not attacking.Afraid.That terrified me more than the destruction.Because until now—everything else had feared what I could become.But this thing?This ancient creature bound to the mark?It feared what I already was.“No—”My breathing became ragged.The memories wouldn’t stop.Blood.Screaming.Bodies.My hands shaking violently as silver light destroyed everything around me.Kael shouting.Adrian bleeding.And me—standing in the middle of it all.(Kael’s POV) She’s fracturing.Not emotionally.Completely.The power surging through the archives wasn’t unstable anymore.It was reacting to memory.That’s worse.Much worse.“Aria!”She didn’t hear me.Or maybe she couldn’t.Silver light lashed violently through the room again, cracking
