INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 071
(KAI'S POINT OF VIEW)A week flew by, and I could not take my mind off the new student, with whom I shared a few classes. I could not help but stare whenever I had the chance, like right now, with my elbow on the table, my cheek on my palm, and my gaze fixed on the figure a few seats away. I drank him in shamelessly, making sure to wink whenever he looked my way because, damn, I’d never seen anyone so freaking hot. Was he even human? because obviously, I was not the only one who lusted after him; half the class was drooling over him as well, but I saw him first, so he was mine."You are drooling, Kai." Killian smacked me on the thigh while his gaze was fixed on the professor lecturing at the front of the class and scribbling notes in his notebook."I know.""Eryx has told me about your obsession with the new transfer student, and I have witnessed it for myself because you are not so secretive about it. I bet the whole school already knows." Killian tsked."Do they also know I'm going

(KAI'S POINT OF VIEW)Though my parents claimed I had been doing it for ages, I never dared to ask, and I put it down to the accident, so I developed a few hobbies of my own because I was always feeling alien and new whenever I tried something.Motorcycle racing piqued my interest. Behind the helmet, I loved the rush and feel of the wind—the adrenaline rush as my bike zapped through the track field at high speeds—and it was even better when I was competing. The urge to get to the finish line grew stronger, and I made sure I was always first.As soon as I crossed the finish line, I slammed on the brakes and killed the motorcycle's engine. I took off my helmet, saying hello to the bright sunlight and the wind on my bare face."You are getting better with each race." Arm dangling over Killian's shoulder, Eryx stepped forward. "And my desire to race grows every time I visit this place." Killian rolled his eyes, sensing that there was no chance of success because Eryx would never allow hi

(KAI'S POINT OF VIEW)"Mom! Dad! I brought a friend!" I yelled as I pulled Ralph into the house and the living room, where my parents were.They looked our way, and I shoved Ralph in front of me. I felt gibby. It was like showing my boyfriend to my parents and seeking their approval, but Ralph wasn't my boyfriend yet. "Mom, Dad, this is Ralph.""Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Celestia." Ralph bowed slightly.Mom stood up, her sparkling eyes drafting between Ralph and me before settling on Ralph. She stared at him closely, a slight frown gracing her features. "Your friend looks familiar, Kai. Have we met before, young man?"Ralph shook his head. "I don't think so, Mrs. Celestia. My family and I move around a lot.”"Oh." Mom looked over at me, and I beamed. A smile owned her face. "It's the first time Kai has brought someone else home other than Eryx and Killian. It's nice to meet you, Ralph.""Thank you, Mrs. Celestia." Ralph bowed slightly again."Mom. Ralph and I are going to my room to study a
INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 074
(RALPH'S POINT OF VIEW)I tried to resist, to turn a blind eye to his bold advances, to be indifferent, but he was irresistible, and he knew it too well, but he had no idea how long I held my breath from breathing him in, how much my heart raced whenever he was too close, and how I constantly fought the urge to grab him and slam him against the wall and have my way with him.He made it difficult and when he kissed me, he shattered the walls I’d built around myself to keep him out as if they were made of glass rather than bricks.I found myself recalling every memory he lacked, and having his lips on mine made me realize how much I craved and desired him.When he turned after addressing his guest, I was in a daze as I ran my thumb over my lip, feeling a tingling sensation I had not felt in a long time and lighting a fire that had been snuffed out three years ago.When his guest left and he turned to face me, I found myself diving for his lips, kissing him as if I were starving and taki

(KAI'S POINT OF VIEW)I always believed things happened for a reason, good or bad; it was only a matter of time before one got to find out the outcome.I parked my car at the school parking lot and got out, getting ready for another day of boring activities in school, but nah, I'd survive.Upon exiting the vehicle, I was met with a strangely recognizable face. He grinned as though he had just figured out the most challenging riddle ever. My eyes glazed over him."Shit! It is you, I knew it. I could never be wrong. Kai! It's so good to see you again!" Clambering, he threw his arms around me in an embrace before I could even respond. I wriggled free of his arms, which were more powerful than they looked. He looked at me as if I had hurt him when I managed to free myself from his grip."I thought we had passed our dispute." He pouted and looked cute, but that was not important. This person looked so familiar, yet I didn't know where I'd seen him before, and he knew who I was, which me
INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 076
(RHYS' POINT OF VIEW)There was only a year until he was finally released, but I could not bear the ache and loneliness that had suddenly taken over my heart in his absence.Emotions. This was why demons were forbidden to love. We have an overabundance of emotions and feel them too strongly.Taking my time, I strolled through the hospital hallway, thinking about how much he would detest me and how much he wouldn't want to see my face right now. I sighed. I could not blame him; I despised myself as well, but what could I do when things were out of my hands?Three years away had been torture, and I was not sure I wanted to go through it again for another year. When I entered his ward, I was greeted by the stench of corpses and rotten blood. I came to a halt in a space. A place that was once filled with beds and patients was now empty except for a janitor wiping blood-stained floors; the smell of death was stronger in this space."Can I assist you with something?" "No one is permitted

(RALPH'S POINT OF VIEW)I could not contain my surprise when Cameron sat down next to Kai and struck up a discussion.Cameron. Maybe what was shocking was not that he was there. The aura emanating from him was unsettling and made me sit up straight.Bloody, gloomy, and unsettling. It seemed as though every emotion had been sucked from him and he was composed entirely of evil. In a way, Cameron was both present and absent at the same time. He was possessed by something powerful enough to keep him from thinking for himself. How did we get here?I stood up and exited the classroom abruptly. I needed to know why he was here and what he had in mind for Kai. I wouldn't hesitate to send him to hell if it was what I was thinking. Fuck! I needed to find Rhys.And I found Rhys outside the school with a hardened expression. He most likely knew his insane and possessed human was in the building. I grabbed his wrist and dragged him to a less crowded area before releasing him and turning to face
INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 078
(RHYS' POINT OF VIEW)“There ought to be a way to dispel those abilities, right?” I thought aloud while keeping my attention fixed on Cameron, who was tied to a chair in the center of my penthouse living room.Cameron rolled his eyes. "You could have if you had come to me once." "It's problematic." Xavier, who was standing next to me, responded. He leaned in and examined Cameron's face more closely. "From what I can see here, this poor soul has been shut out of his own mind, and demonic powers dominate every cell in his body." He tsked and returned to my side. "It's almost impossible to set him free.""But it's not impossible?" I stared at him, waiting for him to say something else."Yeah. Kill him, and everything's gone." He replied with a knowing grin. He knew I wouldn't kill Cameron; why was he haunting me? "I'll go see what I can find and get back to you." He waved at Cameron before vanishing into thin air.I crouched down to Cameron's level and moved a few locks of his hair that

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

[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
