(Kai's Point of View)
"Hi"
I blinked a few times to be sure what I was seeing was correct, and indeed, it was. Was this another of my fantasies?
When he jumped up from the bed and approached me with a genteel grin that made his appearance more attractive with hazel eyes and golden hair, I jerked and put my back against the door.
"Who are you and how did you get access to my home?" I questioned, wishing to disappear through the door since I was dreaming again. It had to be a dream.
He came to a halt in front of me and pushed his body closer, smelling and nodding. "You smell great, exactly to my liking,"
I glared, the fear I once felt gone from my nerves as my gaze got harsher as I had no idea why a glowing boy in white with huge pair of fucking white wings was doing my apartment at 11 pm. I swung the door open. "Get out while I'm being nice, and before I call the damn police and have you arrested!"
I watched taken back as his hazel eyes suddenly glistened, a smirk curved on his full red lips and the door shut on its own. I nearly jerked back but kept my glare going.
I didn't know who the fuck he was but those little tricks won't scare me! "You should try something else if you're trying to scare me,"
He tilted his head as if in amusement. "Oh, you're not afraid?"
"I walked in on my grandfather naked, nothing scares me anymore and I need you to get the fuck out of my apartment now!"
He shrugged uncaringly. "Okay, then I hope you don't mind if I do this," At that, he snapped his fingers and before my eyes, my messy room rearranged itself, getting rid of every dirty and putting everything back in its ordinary form, the curtains sliding close on its own in 5 seconds.
My jaw dropped to the floor.
"Your room is untidy and I love keeping my places clean," he turned and went towards the bed, making himself comfortable.
"W-ho are you?" My voice cracked, uncertainty clouding my senses.
"Thought you will never ask," He winked at me. "Anyway, I'm Ralph, your guardian angel,"
"That's bullshit!"
He nodded. "I know I know am supposed to be here on your 12th birthday but forgive me, things didn't go as planned,"
What sort of joke was this? With anger, I charged toward him, grabbing his collar and yanking him to his feet, I ignored the slight height difference and the way his white wings flipped beautifully, creating air between us. "Did Kyrell send you to mock me, trust me I'm going to beat you to a pulp!"
He smirked. "With that height of yours?"
"You are just an inch taller!"
"I'm still taller..." He moved closer to the point I could feel his warm breath on my face. "...And I'm going to be your daddy from now on,"
With a gasp, I shoved him onto the bed. "That's disgusting, no angel speaks like that like, which gives me more proof that you are here to mock me, tell me, was it Rhory?!" I demanded, suddenly feeling so aggravated, why was life being unfair to me like this, what did I do wrong, who did I offend, why was I the one being punished for a crime I didn't commit?
He hissed and crossed his leg over the other. "Believe me, I'm not your regular angel, why do you think you can see me, I'm special!" He smirked and I cringed.
As I looked at the so-called angel on my bed, wearing a naughty grin that beckoned me to flee and never look back, I shook my head, a faint giggle departing my lips. "You know what, you're not real, I'm just dreaming again, I'll wake up in the morning and you'll be gone," I convinced myself. This couldn't be true; there was no way I'd encounter an angel on Earth. This might be a lame joke; he'll stop when he grew tired.
I returned to my abandoned food on the floor, gathered them up, and crouched on the chair beside my table, "it's still warm," I grinned, opening the pizza box and being greeted by its aroma, I took a slide. "I'm going to savor this, it's been a long night," I said as I cut another slice and extended it to my so-called guardian angel on the bed. He gave me an odd look as I put on a friendly grin. "Come on, you've got to be hungry,"
He rolled his eyes and snarled.
I shrugged. "Suit yourself, angel," I took a bite and hummed at the awesome taste on my taste buds. I haven't had pizza in a long time, it tasted different every time. I looked back at Ralph and in a zap, he was sitting in front of me. I blinked repeatedly and told myself constantly. "This was just a dream I will soon wake up from,"
"Can I have a taste, I haven't eaten for centuries, I forgot what food tastes like," The expression on his face was joyful and it brought an illness to my stomach to see that much happiness reflected on one person.
I hiccuped, extending the pizza piece. Interest swelled in my chest as I watched him bring the pizza to his nose, sniffing.
"It smells fresh," he cringed before taking a bite.
I watched with an elbow pressed on the table and my palm to my chin as an adorable pout occupied his lips. How cute!
"It's savory and satisfactory,"
I nodded, satisfied with the answer, and pushed him a can of soda. "Eat up and be gone in the morning,"
To be continued...!
My mind slowly regained consciousness, feeling a weight on top of me and a trek of fingers on my cheekbones down to my lips, and before I knew it, a finger was poking through my mouth, my eyes instantaneously snapped open, squishing whatever was on top of me, and I heard a thud, then a shriek that caused me to look at the floor, and my face contorted."YOU!" I shrink back on my bed and my head banged against the wall. "What are you doing here, and why the heck am I still dreaming?" I slapped my cheeks to make sure I was dreaming but it hurt! "Ouch!He grumbled and got to his feet, running his fingers through his golden locks, showing more of his flawless forehead, and flexing his muscular biceps as his upper torso was exposed. "Good morning," he greeted with a smile. My stomach churned.I grabbed my pillow and tossed it at his face, but it stopped in midair and fell at his feet. I gaped."Why are you still here, I told you to fuck off in the morning!""Tsk, I'm y
(Kai's point of view)"Hey, Kai! Why don't you quit behaving like a chicken and come out here and fight like a man?"At moments like this, I wish I could shrink or melt into a wall instead of dealing with Kyrell's verbal and physical abuse.I moaned again, self-loathing as I rubbed my molten palms together on the lavatory toilet, shut away from the mocking parasite outside the door.A guardian angel?Ah! I laughed at the hypocrisy of those words as I began to wonder whether he was an angel or a circus performer with some tricks under his sleeve, but if he was, he had succeeded in exposing my idiocy.I knew an angel could never act like that, but I decided to accept his nonsense and now look at me, just a few steps away from getting punched in the face again.I stayed in there, pleading to whatever was listening to help me, and as if in response, the voices stopped, followed by slamming doors and departing footsteps.I sluggishly climbed down, opened the door, and peered outside, sighi
I flinched, my fingertips sliding down the marks on my exposed chest.I couldn't even recognize my own physique when I looked in the mirror. I was not only covered in old and new puncture wounds, but I also appeared famished.With a sigh, I slid a shirt over my head and stepped out of the bathroom, coming to a halt when my eyes were drawn to the figure in white laying on my bed, enormous white wings spread widely on the bed.He suddenly sat up, as if sensing my presence, and his smile immediately deteriorated."What the hell happened to your face?" He addressed, already up on his feet and lunging towards me, I grunted when he cradled my face and inspected the bruises. I pushed him away."If you are truly an angel, you should be aware," I snorted at him and moved by him, but he seized my wrist and I veered abruptly. "What the heck are you looking for?" I yanked my hand from his hold and pointed at his face. "Listen, Ralph or whatever your name is, I don't know wha
(Kai's Point of View)I froze as I pushed the cafeteria doors open, every pair of eyes reeling our way. Goosebumps rose on my skin as I swallowed.I took a timid step forward, and everyone's eyes did as well. I groaned, bent my head, and went to the counter to grab something to eat."Come sit with us, Ralph!"The bids came from both the left and the right. I frowned in distaste as I grabbed a tray of food, Ralph following my lead, and we made our way to the unoccupied table in the cafeteria's corner."It's just your first day, you're so highly regarded now," I added, observing how the number of eyes on us hadn't been distracted yet. The majority of them appeared envious."I'm extremely beautiful, I know," came Ralph's simple response.When I glanced at him, he was staring at the fork as if it were the most abnormal thing in the world. He clearly had no idea what to do with it. I kept myself from laughing at the simplicity.He wasn't from this world at all."Here," I said, waving my ha
(Kai's Point of View)Leaving Ralph at home was more difficult than I had anticipated. He was already following me to school, and I didn't want him to follow me everywhere; I didn't want a shado()w.It had taken a lot of persuading to convince him not to come with me or, at the very least, to be fucking invisible so that no one could see him, not even me. I didn't want those hazel eyes on me after what happened at school today, and the way he had gazed at me earlier gave me shivers and had my insides twist in an unfathomable way."Kai!"I went around the corner after hearing Reuben's shout. He gave me a box with an address scribbled on the front."Our delivery guy called in sick today and since there are less to no customers today, Boss wants you to deliver that," He clarified, passing me the keys to a scooter and a helmet. "Drive cautiously," he advised, patting my hair and turning to face the customer.I stepped outside after removing the waiter's apron, practically shivering at the
(Kai's Point of View)I found myself in the middle of a vibrant forest. The leaves were as green as they could be, dripping with water and allowing beams of sunlight to shine through.The view was lush, green, and lovely. What was I doing?I didn't know I was moving until I started smiling and breathing the dirt of the flesh.I moved closer and closer to what was propelling me ahead until I came to a vast field filled with the most cherry blossoms and the most vivid blue clouds. My smile deepened at the sight, but it vanished in the blink of an eye.The flowers on the Field all perished and shriveled as the sky turned drastically from blue to a dark shade of black.I gasped and took a step back, watching as a person dropped from the sky with gigantic white wings on his back, his back to me. I moved closer, attempting to see the man's face until I was standing directly in front of him.I exclaimed. It was me!That wasn't me!But everything about him and me was the same, except for his
(Cameron Point Of View)I scrolled through post after post on Insta, delighted when I lingered at a couple's post. They were so sweet that I almost pressed the plus button, but my hand was seized and I looked up at my beautician, who shook her head at me."That's your primary account, you know you can't like people's posts without getting slaughtered by anti-ants,""I know that Natasha, thank you for reminding me, but just because I'm a celebrity doesn't mean I live to please everyone; I have a life, too, and I can like whichever post I choose to like,"She tugged my hair as she brushed it. "That's a full-ass speech Cameron, you had me fooled for a second,"I laughed and tossed my phone on the dressing table. Being a person was difficult, but being a public figure was far more difficult. Everyone had something to say about you, whether it was good or terrible, and they all wanted to contribute. "Do you want pizza? I'm famished," I said, putting my hands on my stomach."I'm only your s
(Cameron Point of View)I blinked away the lethargy while attempting to keep my eyes and ears attentive as I listened to my mother raving beside me in the backseat of the car, while my father sat in the front as the driver."Remember, Cameron, this is a major event for us, and you can't deteriorate it, so buckle up and solve whatever crazy crap you have going on with Blaze,"The mention of my soulmate managed to knock me into a poignant state. I looked at my mother. "Wait, Blaze is also going to be there?"She moaned in frustration and glared at me. "Have you been listening to a damn thing I've been saying, Cameron? If you screw this up for your Dad and I, you're going to get it,"I averted my gaze as the car came to a halt in front of a glamorous entryway, with picturesque light shining from within and faint music playing in my ears. I despised it, and the fact that I hadn't slept well in weeks didn't help.Being a model and a movie star was difficult enough, but now I had to play th
I'd want to take this opportunity to thank you everyone for reading this book. I am aware that there are many novels out there that are superior to mine, but the fact that you took the time to finish it warms my heart. You don't know how happy you've made me by starting and ending this adventure with me, so thank you. It gives me a sense of fulfillment. Thank you. If you have any questions, please ask. And please... And don't forget to vote, comment, and give this poor author a review; it would mean the world to me. Please take the time to look at my other works as well; I hope you'll like them all. Bless you all and love you all. Bye!
{KAI’S POINT OF VIEW}It was a Friday, so I left work early, picked Rai up from school, and we went to the restaurant. Once I parked the car, Rai and I stepped out. We were on our way out the door when my wrist was suddenly grabbed, and I turned sharply to see Ralph covered in a hoodie and glasses over his eyes.I beamed, “Ralph."He removed his glasses and looked down at Rai, who was looking at him with interest. “Who is this?”“This is Rai, my son.”His eyes met mine too quickly as if he had been struck by lightning. The expression nearly tugged out a laugh from me but I held it back. “You are married?” he blurted out.I shrugged. "Well, I have gone through two lifetimes without you; who knows how I will fare in this one?" Two could play the game, and he fell for it as his eyes darkened and he yanked me close to his face by the arm. He knew how I felt; he duped me into thinking he did not know who I was.“You are getting a divorce," he grumbled."Not in the presence of the child, Ra
[KAI’S POINT OF VIEW]Two lifetimes, three lifetimes worth of memories—they felt like a weight was placed on my shoulders—ones that were occasionally too much for me to bear.I recalled every lifetime I'd lived and every second I'd lived without having a clue where to find Ralph. Every time I failed, it felt like a needle was being pressed into my heart. This was my third life and I was 25. In this life, I worked as an architect for a decent wage, owned a restaurant with Rhory and Keir, and lived in an apartment in the middle of the city. Keir and Rhory were fortunate to have reunited as soulmates.They probably kept my memories to make me realize how much I was losing and probably laughed at my face as I failed to find Ralph in the lifetimes I'd lived. I sighed, slammed my pen on the table, and stopped trying to figure out a building pattern. "Dad." I raised my head in response to the tiny voice and discovered a tiny head with silver locks poking through the door. In an instant,
{CAMERON’S POINT OF VIEW}When Rhys entered the studio, I fell into a daze. I could barely say a word as he assisted me in locking up the studio, escorted me to his car, and drove us to his penthouse.When we were in a close space and alone, I threw my arms around him tightly and cried on his shoulder. I did not want to let go, and then his arms softly wrapped around my hips and drew me closer to his body.I had no idea how long we had stood here before he began to withdraw and clutch my face. His golden eyes were fixed on my face, and his thumb stroked it lovingly. "What do you remember?" He grilled."Everything," I replied unequivocally. "And I'm sorry. You lost everything because of me." Just when I thought I was done crying, more streamed down my cheeks as my mind was flooded with new memories. Was this the reason, despite growing up in a loving home and being surrounded by people who loved me, that I had always felt empty and alone? I had never felt whole, and I could not quite p
[CAMERON'S POINT OF VIEW]Many, many years ago, there was a world where everyone had a soulmate; some were fortunate to have been paired with the right one, while others were unlucky.According to what I have read, it was not always like that. Everyone was happy with who they were paired with until there was some sort of imbalance in the system and things got out of hand, and people started getting paired with people they were not compatible with. Soulmates abused and killed each other, but not anymore. Soulmates were becoming increasingly rare in the world I grew up in, and nowadays anyone could be with whoever they wanted without having to wait and look for their soulmates. When soulmates realize they love someone else, they usually break their bond.Well, my name was Cameron, a small-time painter with my studio in the bustling big city, and I did not believe in soulmates.Having a soulmate was not necessarily a bad thing; it would be nice to fee
[RAI'S POINT OF VIEW]As golden guardians, it was our responsibility to protect humans and ensure that they were happy with their soulmates, regardless of their background. It was a crime for a golden guardian to look away from his assigned human, and most importantly, we did not fall in love. It was an internal sin that resulted in an internal penalty. I recall the moment I realized Kai was in love with a demon. It was when he stopped wearing that cold face that the hardness in his eyes seemed to fade. He was more carefree and careless, and he was willing to give up his title just to be with that demon. I was happy as long as he was happy, but only if that demon shared his feelings.Kai wept before having his wings torn off and receiving his punishment, I recalled. Although it was inhumane to watch him suffer from the blast of thunder every hour, it was the penalty for an internal transgression. It took Kai a century to finally be born as a soulless human. As his best friend, I tri
[KAI'S POINT OF VIEW]As I watched him fall, it was like my heart was ripped out of my chest. I threw away my sword, catching him in my arms before he touched the ground. He continued to choke on his own blood. "YOU IDIOT! I TOLD YOU I KNOW HOW TO TAKE CARE OF MYSELF. I DO NOT REQUIRE YOUR FUCKING PROTECTION!!" I yelled and grabbed his wrist, hoping to share my energy, but he yanked it back. "What the heck are you doing? You are going to die!""It's f-fine." He replied in a wavering voice. "Death does not seem so bad after all," he tried to joke.If he wasn't dying, I would have strangled him to death myself. I grabbed his hand and transferred as much energy as I could, but the more I transferred, the more blood he choked out. "What's going on? Why is it not working?" Panic gripped me as I realized he was becoming weaker, paler, and fading."My body doesn't accept your powers. They are just too much to handle." I felt my whole body twitching. "But you are half angel. Your body, a ha
[RHYS' POINT OF VIEW]There were only a few enchanted stones in this world that could take the life of someone as powerful as my father, and one of them was the forbidden crystal.It was not easy to obtain one, and for a demon, obtaining one meant suffering the ultimate punishment of losing half his life span. It was only a matter of time before I died without my wings or a source of power to keep me alive, but even if I only had a few hours to live, Father was coming with me. Getting to the cemetery on foot was a difficult task since I normally use my wings or vanish to get to my destination. I grasped the stone in my hand despite the hideous mark it'd left on my palm from taking it from its resting place. The flashes of light and thunder ahead of me told me there was a battle going on; I walked faster.When I arrived at the scene, however, I abruptly paused on my feet just in time as Ralph lost his wings and Kai unleashed a powerful blast that destroyed everything in close range.
[RALPH'S POINT OF VIEW]"I'm sorry," I muttered weakly, looking into his eyes, hoping he would understand. "Perhaps you forget we are still here." Xavier snorted. Cameron's gaze was on Kai when I turned around, and he had a cunning look in his eyes and a smirk on his lips. I shielded Kai's eyes from his evil gaze, but I was gently pushed aside. "I'm not some damsel in distress. I don't need you to protect me. I can take him out myself." He glared.I couldn't help the tiny smile that occupied my lips as he pointed his sword at Cameron and Xavier. "Now, who wants a taste of my sword first?" I stood beside him. He gave me a side-eye. "After them, you're next." He gritted, and I would gladly accept his blade."What makes you think you are a match for me?" Cameron smirked. "Let’s not make this difficult for you, darling; give me what I want, and you can sleep peacefully without worrying about whether you are a human or a golden guardian. You can come to me willingly, or I will come to
