INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 054
(KAI'S POINT OF VIEW)Just like that, a month flew by, and a lot happened in that month, much of it involving Arryn and me.He showed up every day, and each day was a new and different gift. Accepting gifts from him felt awkward at first, but he assured me it was fine. But seriously, I did not need those gifts, but that seemed to be his love language, or so I assumed.Even though we have not kissed yet, and for some strange reason, I was not anticipating it, we were growing closer every day, and he had made me feel what it meant to have a soulmate.A reason that might involve RalphWhen I said a lot had happened, I also meant Ralph. He was always out and rarely came home, and the red mark on his neck was spreading and becoming more prominent. It was concerning, but whenever I inquired, he dismissed me. I felt like we were drafting apart, and I felt like it was my fault.I was the one who pushed him away when Arryn entered the picture, but it wasn't something I could control. Arryn wa

(KAI'S POINT OF VIEW)My dreams had changed; instead of feeling, I was now watching while fully aware that I was dreaming.The man perched atop a structure had my face; he was identical to me but also distinct from me due to his golden armor, enormous white wings, and golden eyes.He watched the world below him with a calculating gaze as if he were ready to jump into the first fight or use his body as a shield to protect the world beneath him.He appeared to be a fighter, a protector who would go to any length to protect what he was assigned to. He looked devoted. His focus was undivided, but he lacked warmth; he was as cold as ice. "You can take your gaze away for a moment, you know. The world isn't going to come to an end if you look away."A familiar voice spoke, and in an instant, Ralph's familiar features appeared beside him, but Ralph looked different. The wings on his back weren't white; they were a dark shade of black. His hair was golden, but his eyes weren't hazel; they wer

(KAI'S POINT OF VIEW)Arryn was sick.When I arrived at his apartment building, I tried not to notice the luxury; even the elevator was classic.People gave me strange looks, probably wondering what a poor-looking boy was doing in such a posh building. I walked faster, my hoodie thrown over my head, to the back of the elevator that took us to the fourth floor, where Arryn lived. When the elevator finally stopped with a beep, I dashed out and to Arryn's door.There were only three rooms on this floor, so it was not difficult to find his. I stood outside his door, a slight frown on my face, as I heard a female giggle coming from the other side. When I knocked on his door, the laughter came to a halt.I almost thought I heard it wrong, but when the door opened to reveal a girl, I was proven wrong. She beamed. "Hi, you must be Kai?"I nodded and took a quick scan. She was attractive, slender, and dressed in a mini-dress that reached her mid-thigh."Come on in, Arryn has been waiting for
INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 057
(KAI'S POINT OF VIEW)A week went by before I saw Arryn again. I stared at him blankly as I opened the door. He smiled as he extended a bouquet to me."Hi." "Hi," I answered back, accepting the flowers from him since I couldn't reject them anyway. I looked down and noticed a shopping bag in his hand. I exhaled a sigh. "You should stop getting me presents." "I'm sorry, but you can ask for anything but that. I enjoy getting you gifts." He held up the bag. "Get dressed; we are going out."I raised an eyebrow. "Going out?"He nodded. "I want to make amends for what happened the last time. I was miserable. This is my way of apologizing. So, will you go out with me?" He looked optimistically at me.I looked from the stretched-out bag to his face. Could I say no? "Sure." I took the bag from him. "Do you want to come in?" "No. I’ll be here waiting." I nodded and went back in and back to my bedroom. Ralph was lying on the bed. He didn't look at me as he spoke. "Your soulmate is here.""Hmm
INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 058
(RALPH'S POINT OF VIEW)I gave him the time and space he wanted. I enlarged the gap he created because I promised not to interfere in his relationship with that soulmate of his. I let him do whatever he wanted, even to the point of lying to me to coat Arryn for the bruise on his stomach and the cut on his face.He was taking me for a fool and I wasn't.With a crook of my head, I watched as the human slept without a care in the world while I rowed the urge to take him apart and make sure he didn't ever open his eyes again.Having had enough of watching the bastard sleep, I snapped my fingers and the idiot was jolting to a sitting position, wide awake. He panted and I let him take his time to calm his ranging heartbeats because I felt like ripping it out and feeding on it.When he finally noticed me, he jostled on the bed and bashed his head on the nightstand. "Y-y-you-" he stuttered messlessly. "How did you get in? What are you doing here?"I snickered and stepped forward. He moved bac

(KAI'S POINT OF VIEW)"I've been waiting for you.""Why?" I asked him or I asked myself because I realized that this person in front of me—this person dressed in armor, golden eyes, golden locks, and the most beautiful white wings—this person was me.Because I feel them. The emotions swimming in his eyes, the spurt of anguish in his veins, and the pang in his heart. I felt all of them."It's our responsibility to protect the world." He went on."That's what makes us different. I don't care about the world.""You should. Without the world, we have nothing. You can't let them take that away from us. He doesn't love us, he never did and he won't in this life. Do you know what he wants?" He questioned, advancing on me. He pointed his finger on my chest. "The heart. He wants our heart and if you don't stop now, he will have our heart.""We love him."He threw his head back and cracked up. "Love?" When he looked back at me, his eyes looked like they were bleeding. I felt my heart ache. "We

(KAI'S POINT OF VIEW)A week passed, and I remained in Reuben's home with his soulmate. I knew I was a burden to the couple, but I could not bring myself to go home knowing I would have to face Ralph, and I was not prepared for that.He hadn't come to find me yet, which was good. Only if fate had the same plans as me, my life would have gone as smoothly as the back of a knife, but as I watched Reuben enter the guest room I had been hiding in—it didn't. I needed to remain hidden for a little while longer and pay attention to my thoughts."You have a visitor." He announced, then shrugged and walked out.Despite having a bad feeling in my stomach, I dragged myself out of bed and walked out of the room.I went into the living room and found the last person I wanted to see on this planet, if not ever. I came to a halt as he turned his gaze to me. "What are you doing here?" I blurted out. “How did you know I was here?"Arryn rose from his seat. He had healed from his wounds, but his arms st
INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 061
(KAI’S POINT OF VIEW)Ralph opened the door when I returned home. Before he looked into my eyes, he gave me a downcast look as if looking for something. I stared back, unfluctuating, making no attempt to avert my eyes.“Had enough of the space?” The supercilious bastard grilled before scoffing and traversing his arms over his chest.Some guardian angel he was. I didn’t answer; instead, I seized him by the wrist, hauled him into the room, and slammed the door with my foot. Once inside, I slammed him against the nearest wall, trapping him between my arms and the wall. Astonishment flashed through his eyes, but it vanished as soon as his lips stretched into a smirk. "Are we getting bolder now?" I searched his eyes, wanting to find something, anything, but I couldn't read them, so I asked. “What do you want from me, Ralph?” The question immediately made him lose his smirk. I carried on. “Do you want my heart because you want power, or do you love me, Ralph, and don't fucking lie to me?”

INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin:100
{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
INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 099
[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
INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 097
[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
INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 096
[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
INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 094
[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
