Love Bites Chapter 9: “I Don’t Care Why?”
Love Bites Chapter 9 begins with a moment Kieran never saw coming—a kiss that hits him like a bolt of supernatural lightning. Still caught in the aftermath of Mason’s impulsive move, Kieran stands frozen, lips tingling and heart pounding like a war drum. He tells himself he should pull away, that everything about this is wrong. Mason’s a werewolf and Kieran’s a vampire. This is enemy territory. But instead of retreating? Kieran leans in. His hands reach up, pulling Mason in even closer, deepening the kiss.
When they finally break apart for air, Mason is just as shaken. He stumbles over his words, flustered and wide-eyed, muttering that he has no idea why he did that. But Kieran isn’t here for explanations. With a defiant “I don’t care,” he cuts Mason off and crashes into another passionate kiss. There’s no logic, just sparks and tension and way too many confusing emotions. And through it all, Kieran thinks: I hate him. I do. So why can’t I stop kissing him?
The moment is so electric, so all-consuming, that Kieran forgets for a second who—or what—he is. Until, without meaning to, his fangs graze Mason’s lip. A droplet of blood touches his tongue. And just like that, reality punches Kieran in the face. He jerks back, horrified, guilt flooding every inch of him. Without a word, he runs out of the locker room, heart racing for all the wrong reasons.
Cella’s Date With Mason
While dashing through campus like a vampire with a guilty conscience, Kieran nearly collides with Cella. She’s surprised to see him and asks if he’s seen Mason. Trying to keep it together, Kieran directs her to the locker room but hesitates—and then blurts out something he probably should’ve kept to himself. He warns her that Mason isn’t what she thinks. That he’s not a good guy. That he’s only dating her to get under Kieran’s skin. But Cella isn’t having it.
Stung and deeply hurt, she snaps that not everything revolves around Kieran’s feelings. She tells him that she likes Mason—and that maybe, just maybe, Mason likes her back. Kieran tries to explain, to fix the mess he just made, but Cella shuts him down. Her voice trembles, but her words are sharp: “You’re not the center of everything.” With watery eyes, she leaves for her date, leaving Kieran feeling like the worst best friend.
That night, Kieran lies in bed, the kiss still haunting his lips like a dream he’s afraid to wake up from. He replays the moments again and again, thinking about how he once told Cella he was “just picky” when it came to romance. But now he knows the truth—it wasn’t about being picky. He’s never wanted anyone before.
And now? He wants everything with Mason. Not just his blood. Not just a thrill. Something real. But before Kieran can unravel his feelings any further, he finally reaches home. As he opens the door, ready to crawl under a blanket of regret, he’s greeted by two visitors standing inside. Their expressions are serious. Their tone, urgent. “We need to talk, Kieran,” ending Love Bites Chapter 9.
What Happened So Far in Love Bites?
Love Bites introduces us to Kieran, a moody vampire who’s just trying to survive high school without drawing too much attention. Haunted by heartbreak and buried emotions, his life takes a sharp turn when Mason Kane, a mysterious, cocky new transfer student, walks in. There’s something about Mason that instantly rubs Kieran the wrong way—yet he can’t seem to stay away either.
Tension simmers between them from the start. Once Kieran uncovers that Mason is actually a werewolf, the tension between them intensifies. Centuries of vampire-werewolf rivalry hang over them, but against all odds, the two are forced to work together when a classmate mysteriously vanishes. Their teamwork, riddled with bickering and unresolved attraction, gradually softens into something deeper. A stolen kiss and lingering glances signal the start of something far more complicated than either expected.
As the mystery deepens, so does their bond. Kieran grapples with feelings he can’t name, while Mason hides scars from a past he isn’t ready to share. They battle external threats—like rival werewolf packs—and internal ones, including their own fears, instincts, and the painful tug-of-war between desire and duty.
By Chapter 8, the emotional storm explodes. Childhood memories, jealousy, and possessiveness boil over when Mason asks Kieran’s best friend Cella out. Kieran, feeling betrayed and protective, confronts him. A heated locker room argument turns into a physical fight, then unexpectedly into a passionate kiss that leaves them both shaken.
