Love Bites Chapter 16 dives deeper into the emotional chaos brewing between Kieran and Mason. It is a supernatural high school webtoon about vampires, werewolves, and one human who is extremely confused. Kieran, a vampire prince, cannot stop feeling the electric charge between him and Mason, a werewolf with an electric tongue and an even more electric jawline. The battlefield of their group project is full of sarcasm, secrets, and unresolved kisses. Throw in Cella—their common bond—and the situation becomes sloppier. As truths crack through denial, Love Bites Chapter 16 pushes the trio toward revelations that might change everything. It is clumsy, dramatic, and compulsive.
Love Bites Chapter 16: Kisses, Lies, and Cheerleaders
Love Bites Chapter 16 begins with Kieran still reeling from Mason’s blunt comment asking about the kiss. And then, after all that buildup, all those emotions. Keiran simply brushes it off? Ouch. Kieran, vaulting on his customary snark shield, snorts and says, “The kiss didn’t mean anything.” But Mason is not letting it pass. He questions trying to get an answer from the other.
Backed into a corner, Kieran offers up the old cop-out: “I’m not gay. I lied to you.” That stops Mason in his tracks. He is really surprised and asks, “Are you sure it was a lie?” Kieran, not being able to confess what he is really feeling, dismisses it, saying that he only said that because he thought it would be funny. But internally? Kieran’s spiraling. He is not sure what he is, but he is sure that he wants to kiss Mason again.
In an attempt to take control back, Kieran walks away and tells them to forget about the kiss. Mason is dating Cella, his best friend. And the solution, obviously, is to act as if nothing happened, which is a logical (and emotionally repressed) way out. But Mason is not prepared to fake it.
Kieran smells the blood of Mason again, just as it happened in their first kiss. It is too much, it is enticing, and it is infuriating. Mason continues to press for an answer. Kieran panics and pulls Mason to him and states, “I’m not attracted to you. I’m attracted to your blood. I do not wish to kiss you, idiot. I want to hurt you.” (Nice try, bro.)

Heartbeats And Hot Messes
Mason, totally unfazed, merely says, “Hurt me, then.” That single line ruins Kieran. He is shocked and bewildered—why is Mason behaving in this way? Kieran collapses on the ground, overwhelmed and confused by all the emotions he cannot even start naming. Mason is sitting next to him, smiling as “You couldn’t hurt me even if you tried.”
And Kieran is aware that he is right. The very last thing he wants is violence. He is afraid of the reality of desiring more than blood. So he turns the subject instead: to get the project done before Cella hurts them both.
Jump to Monday. Cella is smiling widely, impressed that the boys were able to cooperate without causing a supernatural war. She is grateful, yet a little wary of their odd vitality. Naturally, the lads cannot resist exchanging a few insults in the course of their “banter,” acting as though they are not still all emotionally crisped up after their chaotic-passionate dynamic.
Cella also talks of her sister Deborah and how she is faring not so well after being cheated on. Kieran, the king of passive-aggressive, looks at Mason and taunts, “Cheaters are the worst, right, Mason?” Tension, oh, the tension. The unsaid. The charged eyeballing. Had glares been lethal—or passionate—something would have blown up on the spot.
Then Mason nonchalantly inquires about having dinner plans. Kieran is taken by surprise, and he refuses, stating that he does not want to be a third wheel to their happy couple’s night out. But Mason, ever the irreverent wise guy, breaks the bomb: “I got you a date with a cheerleader, Callisto.”
What Happened So Far?
Till now, in Love Bites, events are running out of control as fast as Kieran’s heart beats whenever Mason is in the picture. What began as a standard supernatural school drama has blown up to include forbidden kisses, secret identities, and century-old blood oaths. Kieran is a broody vampire with a traumatic backstory. (Hello, deceased mother and distressing nightmares). He finds himself dangerously entangled with Mason, the latest werewolf in school. Mason is also the crush of his best friend. In the meantime, Cella, the embodiment of sunshine, becomes the victim of this emotional landmine. She gets caught and tries to juggle between love, friendship, and earth-shattering revelations.
The Kane Pack and the coven of Callisto struggle to keep a centuries-old truce. This is putting tension on both sides. However, when betrayal is in the air and romantic misunderstandings are brewing, Kieran is put to the test regarding his loyalties. He has already violated the agreement by telling Cella the identity of Mason. He is now caught between his guilt, attraction, and protective nature. The group project that the three are doing in school may be focusing on school topics. But let’s be real, it is their love lives that are more in focus.
