<Kai's Point of View>

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 your guardian angel; how can I go when I'm not meant to leave until your counterpart arrives?" Again with another smug wink.

I groaned! Why was my life so twisted? I had to cope with my regular problems first, and now I had to deal with this?

I gawked at Ralph suspiciously, I noticed his back was empty. "Where are your wings?" At my question, two large pairs of white wings emerged from his back, flipping beautifully as he stretched them wide, almost brushing against the two opposite walls.

"Since I will be living with you, I thought they would look weird," He responded.

I crawled down the bed and stood on my own two feet. "You are actually an angel?" I catechized, and he nodded. "So, how come I can see you, why are you here, and what am I expected to do with you?" I demanded, rage coursing through my veins.

"It doesn't matter; what counts is that I'm here now, and you won't feel so isolated," He spoke and brushed his finger at the tip of my nose, I immediately slapped his hand away.

"Well it matters to me because I don't freaking need you anymore, you can go back to where you fucking came from!" I snarled.

"Ouch, that hurts," He faked hurt, placing his hand over his chest where his heart was located. 

"I don't freaking care and for fuck sake, can you please put on a freaking shirt!"

I watched as he crossed his arms over his chest. "You use a lot of cuss words for an 18-year-old boy. I think am going to savoy you," again, he brushed his finger at the tip of my nose, sporting a wide smile that revealed a pair of dimples?

I shook my head and ambled past him. "It's too early for this, I need to get ready for school," I sauntered towards the bathroom and found him trailing my steps and when I veered around, he was towering over me. I placed my hand on his warm chest, ignoring the tingles on my palm, and shoved him back gently.

"Can I come?" He requested.

"No!" I gave a quick answer and he pouted and it strike through my heart as I realized again how cute he was. "Do whatever you want to do, I don't want you anywhere near me, got it!?" 

Instantly, a smile broke on his lips and it made me want to cringe. How could one be so happy? It was nearly disgusting!

"Got it!"

*~*

Arriving at school at 8 am, I didn't expect Ralph to trail at my back, wearing his white clothes and standing out completely.

I kept my head lowered as I walked down the hallway, ignoring the looks and the gossip but I couldn't help but hear a few words and they brought an awful feeling to my chest as they admired and awed over Ralph who didn't seem to care about the attention, it made me sick.

Arriving at the front of my class, I abruptly turned and he also stopped. "You can't come in and I didn't expect you to follow me around like this, make yourself invisible or something!"

"I don't want to, protecting you like this is much better and if I can't come in, I can make myself invisible," at his words, he snapped his fingers and I stared, expecting something to happen but nothing did as he still stood in front of me. 

"I can still freaking see you!" I gritted and he smirked.

"Just you,"

"Kai, why are you still standing there, class is about to start," I heard the teacher's voice and I turned and walked into my class and he followed behind me. I took my seat at the far end and he crouched on the empty sit beside me, not taking his gaze off me.

I leaned closer and he did the same. "Are you sure I'm the only one who can freaking see you because it doesn't feel like it!"

"Careful, people might think you're running mad!" He winked and I felt like punching him across the face.

"Fuck you!" I sneered and he chuckled.

"Is there something wrong, Kai, who are you speaking with?"

I gave my teacher a nervous smile. "It's nothing," I answered and she nodded.

I peeked at Ralph and he winked again and send a flying kiss with his lips. I immediately looked away. Why did he keep doing that, were angels supposed to be like that?

The rest of class went on and I felt like sinking into my chair as those pair of hazel eyes hadn't looked away from me since we walked into the class.

"Look away, you fucking prick!" I gritted lowly, making sure no one heard me.

"You are too beautiful to look away, your eyes are charming and alluring!"

I immediately looked his way and gaped. "WHAT THE FUCK!" I exclaimed, shocked out of my mind and he winked at me again! Was there such thing as a flirty angel!?

"Kai, watch your tone in my class if you don't want detention for the rest of the week!" The teacher snapped and I bowed apologetically.

I don't realize I had burst that out loud!

"I'm sorry!"

And for the rest of the class, I didn't bother looking to my right or paying attention to the eyes that wouldn't look away from my face and when the bell finally rang for lunch, I grabbed my things and raced out of the room, nearly knocking over a few students but I needed to hide.

To be continued...!

    (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 jumped into the passenger seat, sighing loudly as I was finally out of that constricting gathering."Did you have a bad night, Cameron?" My driver inquired from the front, having already exited the gate and onto the chilly and lonesome street of the night.I gave a genuine grin, knowing that I could be myself with him. He had been my driver since I could walk and had begun my career as a juvenile actor."I simply want to get out of here, Uncle Charlie; it's asphyxiating.""You appear to have not slept in days. "When was the last time you ate or slept?"I parted my lips to speak, but then realized I didn't know the response. I couldn't recall the last time I ate or slept.He groaned and reached for the vacant passenger seat beside him, tossing me a pap

    {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.

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.
