Chapter 161 - After Valentines (8) (1/2)

Sarah looked at Aiden's back. His aura changed, he looked distant and cold. It felt as if temperature around him dropped by few degrees. It felt like a different person… 'No, it's just another side of him. I need to keep looking, all of this is him.' , Sarah told herself.

”No.”

Sarah was not sure if he heard her, but it didn't matter. She understood that Aiden does not want her to see him like this. But she wants to see every side of him, even the dark side. Even if there is a scary monster lurking inside of him, she wants to know about it, she wants to embrace it… because it's all him.

Aiden stepped on man's right hand, the one that touched Sarah, and the one that she already hurt. Sound of bones cracking was heard.

Man screamed in agony as bones in his hand were being crushed. After a minute man's screams became whimpers.

”Get up.”, Aiden ordered.

The man looked at him with fear in his eyes while his whole body shivered.

”Get up!” Aiden repeated, his voice was deeper and more sinister.

Man struggled to get on his feet.

Aiden's mind was shrouded in darkness. He was not thinking about anything other than how he wants to destroy the man who was in front of him, because he dared to touch Sarah.

Man groaned in pain while he swayed on his feet.

Aiden delivered series of brutal punches into his face and torso.

With each hit man felt his bones breaking and organs being shifted suffering internal injuries.

Aiden's foot landed on man's shin, and distinct sound of bones breaking was heard as man's tibia and fibula* broke. Before man's body touched the ground, Aiden kicked him in the chest, and he flew backwards. Man's back hit the wall of the building with a loud thump, and his body slid down to the ground. The man was not moving anymore, and he didn't make any sounds.

Aiden started walking toward the man and stopped abruptly when two arms embraced him from behind.

”That's enough”, Sarah whispered.

Her touch made vicious monster go away, and retreat wherever it was hiding before. The need to protect her overshadowed any impulse he had, and now that she was holding onto him, he wanted to hold onto her as well.
