Demonic Pornstar System novel Chapter 120

Chapter 120: Family Drama

Kaiden flinched, knowing he had messed up greatly. It would’ve been one thing if the foul-mouthed Luna or the very emotionally expressive Nyx was this furious with him for what he’d done, but if this extremely serene creature who was the human embodiment of the moon was so angry, then he truly made a big blunder.

He glanced at Julia, who failed to meet his eyes. "S-sorry..." she whispered in a low tone.

Kaiden sighed. "It’s fine. I shouldn’t keep things from my girls."

"That’s right!" Aria hissed.

He gently detached himself from Lux, who started watching the unfolding drama with glittering eyes and an entirely amused expression. As a teen, the young girl lived for these dramatic moments.

Kaiden then went to Aria and reached his arms out to envelop the woman in a hug.

To his utmost horror, his Moon Valkyrie refused the gesture by swatting his hands away in annoyance. "No, Kaiden, this time around, you don’t get to hug me, kiss the top of my head, and whisper sweet words into my ears to make up. I know that I seem like a soft woman, but let it be known that Aria Levander can put her foot down when the situation calls for it!"

*Stomp!* She stomped on the ground to further communicate her current stance.

While it was true he didn’t know that the situation with Julia would end up devolving into a battle when he said his goodbyes to his three lovers and went to check on the mother, but it was also true that he had more than enough chances to escape and call for backup after he killed the two grunts who kicked the door down.

Kaiden merely chose not to—he wanted to settle things with his own hands.

He lowered his hands and began explaining his thoughts with a pained expression, "I didn’t call you because I feared for your safety-"

Aria wasn’t having it. "So? Do you think yourself to be bulletproof, Kaiden Grey? Don’t delude yourself. Your life was at an incredible risk. I’m forever grateful for what you’ve done for me and my family, but that doesn’t mean I can’t be angry if you do something reckless—no, something outright stupid like this."

Seeing the extreme amount of worry and hurt in her eyes, Kaiden couldn’t help but have his heart contort painedly. Aria clearly felt like he didn’t trust her when push came to shove, and he couldn’t help but realize that she was exactly right. He believed them to not be ready for what had to be done.

"I’m sorry, Aria. I couldn’t bear imagining any of you dying on me."
