INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 060
(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

(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: 062
(kAI’S POINT OF VIEW)I lay in Ralph's arms like a wounded puppy, with no intention of leaving his newfound warmth—his new home. In his arms like this, I could stay there forever and bask in his scent and the feel of his body.“Are you sure you don't regret this?” Ralph whispered behind me and nuzzled his nose into my hair before planting a kiss on my shoulder. I made an effort not to vibrate in his arms.“There is nothing to regret," I answered his question. Maybe Kai, the golden guardian, would have regretted what just happened, but Kai, the human, didn't give a fuck. “You aren't planning on rending my heart out, are you?” I teased but with a serious undertone.He sighed against my shoulder before turning me around to face him, and I met those hazel eyes. “I never wanted your heart because I wanted power; my master did.” I trailed a thumb across his lips as I touched his face. They looked so irresistible. "Tell me a little bit more about your master." I didn't meet his eyes; I ceme
INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 063
(RALPH’S POINT OF VIEW)I swore to protect him, but I failed before I even tried. As I watched those claws go into his heart, it felt like the world was suddenly weighing on my shoulders, and I was pressed down on one knee, unable to move but watching as he was taken away from me...again. “NO!” I screamed, overwhelmed with an abrupt power I had never felt before, and I didn't know when I had Arryn slammed against the wall—eyes glaring a darker shade of red compared to his—but in a flash, I was behind Kai, catching him before he hit the ground.I watched as he choked on his own blood and a hole in his chest. Shit! I was hit with a variety of emotions all at once.Fear, horror, and terror—I couldn't lose him—not now, not ever.When I turned my gaze to Arryn, his black wings were on display, and he had a bloodthirsty look in his eyes. I laid Kai’s lifeless body on the floor and stood to my feet."He is not yours. The master wants his heart, and we do not disobey our master.”With each

(CAMERON’S POINT OF VIEW)Rhys was gone. He promised to return, but as the days passed, I missed him more and more and couldn't help but be grief-stricken. As I felt through Leo's furs, I sighed. "He's probably going to come back soon, right, Leo?” I murmured, and he purred back. I cracked a smile."Will you be okay here, darling? Your grandpa and I are stepping out for a while.” Grandma charged at me, a basket slung over her forehand and Grandpa by her side.I put on a happy face and quickly nodded. "Leo and I will be just fine until you return." Have fun.” I spoke, and as soon as they left through the door, I was suddenly engulfed in a loud silence that caused me to sigh. "I suppose it is just you and me, Leo. Be a good little boy."~^~Hours passed, and despite my best efforts to keep myself occupied, the silence grew so loud that I started to experience a menacing sensation in my stomach and a throb in my ear—I could hear every breath I took.I look out through the window, seeing
INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 065
(CAMERON'S POINT OF VIEW)I goggled at the devoid space in front of me and it stared back at me, none wanting to yield but I was forced to as my ears caught the sound of a 'meow'I spun toward the sound, finding Leo curled beside me. A slim smile crept to my face and I gently massaged his furs, once again reminding me that I wasn't completely alone.But, it wasn't enough. I darted away and back to having a staring match with the wall and again, it peered back, almost malevolently.It had been a day, a week, or perhaps a month since I was brought back and trashed in my room. I'd lost count of how long I'd been on the floor, how long I stared at the wall in the same position till someone walked in through the door and did with me whatever they pleased, and when they left, I returned to my previous position—the ache in my joints was nothing compared to the thorn in my chest and with each passing day, I could feel the vines thriving around my heart, tightening while it's sharp spikes punc

(CAMERON’S POINT OF VIEW)The look of nihility in Blaze's orbs, how his blood gusted out of him, and how it ponded around him—everything flashed before my eyes, and I found myself craving to see it again, more of blood—there was this unquenchable hunger. It hauled me out of my position, and I went out to feed it, and the voices in my head couldn't agree more."Do you really think you will get away with this?" In her bound-to-a-chair position, Mom demanded, and her husband was next to her, suffering the same fate.I laughed as I circled them. “Who says I want to get away with anything? If anything, I want to be caught in the act. I want everyone to see who you were and what you made of me. It would give me great pleasure, but they would only come to your corpses, or should I say your ashes?"I was sick of being their marionette, sick of stashing behind those hoaxed smiles, and sick of being their exemplary son. Why pretend to be someone you are not? Tonight, I was going to show them wh
INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 067
(RHYS' POINT OF VIEW)Even if it were our nature to destroy and lead them astray, there were only a few things a demon could do in a human's life to keep them from going down the wrong path. But when a human falls too deeply in the wrong direction—like a demon in love—we would do everything we could to make sure they did not succumb to their inner desires and set the world on fire. But at this point, I felt like all of my efforts had been in vain. I realized that leaving him even for a moment meant a bigger disaster that would further erode his humanity and turn him into a bloodthirsty monster. "Then why are you here, drinking, when you should be keeping an eye on him? Who knows what he is up to now, probably igniting the world?" Instead of turning to look at the annoyance next to me, I simply rolled my eyes. Even though my tongue could not detect any flavor in the wine, I took a sip anyway to drown out the club's raucous background noise. Humans reveled in and found pleasure in

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
