[CAMERON'S POINT OF VIEW]Have you ever felt like the world was falling at your feet and your heart had gashed out of your chest and granulated at your feet—that was how I felt as my extensive eyes gawked at the form of Rhys lying on the floor with blood pooling around him and he wasn't moving or breathing.I looked at Xavier, the bastard was sneering as he let go of Rhys' wings and before my eyes, they turned into golden dust before fading away into the darkness. "Y-y-you-" I stuttered while striding closer and when I was close enough, I plowed him hard on the chest. "YOU FUCKING KILLED HIM!!" I hollered at the top of my lungs, tears welled up in my eyes and the compression on my heart inflated. I felt like I would soon be stifling out blood at the coercion on my chest. Xavier sizzled like a snake, his eyes glinting red. I hissed back and plowed him again and instantly scurried to Rhys' side, gathering in my arms. His eyes were closed but his chest was still rising and falling."He'
[KAI'S POINT OF VIEW]I stood under the pouring rain with an umbrella over my head, I gazed at the gravestones in front of me. My parents. Or the people that took me in and gave me everything and left me behind before I could truly thank them. I peeked at the sky and realized I was alone…so alone and lost. I didn't know who to run to, where to go, and how to live.Should I continue to study and live in a house that wasn't mine? Should I seek Rhory and Keir, it seemed they were telling the truth. I feel so lost."Mom, Dad, I hope you've united with your son. I hope you are at peace. Thank you for everything. I will take care of everything you left behind." I spoke out my final words to the grave and then I turned to leave but abruptly halted at the figure standing in front of me.Outfitted in golden armor, and silver hair that matched his silver eyes. He was pretty and didn't belong in a cemetery. "I finally found you." He asserted and I couldn't help but look behind me but there w
{KAI'S POINT OF VIEW}I felt like I was floating among the stars in outer space, but my eyes were open as I stared at the scenes flashing before my eyes, each one containing Ralph and me. Each scene demonstrated how foolish I was to have believed him when he told me he loved me."You want my wings so bad; how about I rip them out instead?" Kai, the golden guardian, screamed before ripping off his wings and plummeting into an infinite abyss. I felt every pain he felt, and my heart clenched so tightly that it felt like it was about to burst.I was fooled as a golden guardian, lied to, and deceived as a human. He erased my memories over and over, even after I told him I would never forgive him. As a human and as a golden guardian, he had only brought me misfortune, so why should I still love him? What was it he wanted with me?"Now you know we don't need him."A tear spewed down my cheek, and I nodded in agreement with the voice—in agreement with myself."As a golden guardian, he caused
[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
[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.
[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
[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
[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
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
