Rhea's POV
I looked nervously at Adrian as we sat in his garden.
Rhea's POVI blinked to make sure that I was not hallucinating. I have seen many weird things recently, and I should have been immune to such things by now. Still, I was surprised at the sight that greeted me as I looked at my cat.
Rhea's POVI was watching a movie while stealing glances at Adrian when the doorbell rang. Grudgingly, I stood up and walked over to the door. As soon as I opened it, I was attacked by a blob of pink. I staggered back a few steps, losing my balance while the pink-haired girl clung to me
Rhea's POVAfter Mercy's revelation about Samael's plan to call demons into Earth on Samhain, there was a gloomy aura around all of us. Finally, I had enough of it and decided that sitting idle wouldn't do us any good. We had to plan everything to stop Samael. For that, we
Rhea's POVI stood in the shopping mall and wondered what exactly Mercy wanted to shop for. I had packed enough clothes when I left home. I was just staying indoors most days and my only trip outside was to hunt demons. And I didn't have any hot dates lined up where I had to dress up to
Rhea's POVI felt my heartbeat skyrocket, even though I tried to keep up a brave facade. Although I had been feeling jittery, I hadn't actually expected demons to find me here. And the leader of the demons at that. As he stood in front of me in all his glory, complete with the double ap
Rhea’s POVI stared at the dark room in confusion. Where was Adrian?Then slowly, a candle lit in the middle of the room and I saw the silhouette of a man. I stood frozen with a mix of fear and anticipation. I knew that it was Adrian, and I could guess what was going on. As music started playing, I didn’t know whether to laugh in exhilaration or cry. As more and more candles lit, I could see the rose petals scattered all over and the dinner set up on the table. It was so beautiful and just what every girl dreamed of…Adrian must have realized that if he left the matters to me, I would always hide behind the shadows of my fears. So he had set up the perfect candle light dinner for us to woo me. So romantic!For a moment, fear raised its ugly head, reminding me of the hundred reasons why I should never risk starting a relationship with him. But then I shoved it away. He was a man who was alone from when he was fourteen, and he had told that he didn’t need
Rhea’s POVThe next morning, I couldn’t keep the smile off my face. I still couldn’t believe that I was now Adrian’s girlfriend.I didn’t know what made him say that he loved me. But for me, it started the day I met those beautiful sapphire eyes. Every little thing about him intrigued me… his gorgeous smile, his messy hair and his husky voice…But then, it was not just his appearance that mattered. I loved even the little things about him. How he rubbed his jaw while he was thinking hard about something. The way he ran his fingers through his hair when he was frustrated. The way in which he took care of Morris. And simply being the amazing guy with a heart of gold when his very presence screamed danger. No one could believe that such a caring, sensitive guy was behind that dangerous man.All night I couldn’t sleep because I was too hyper after the date. Still, I d
Rhea’s POVI looked at the path that suddenly seemed to stretch forever. I heaved a sigh of frustration and thought of my options. I had tried to walk over the shards and that had not worked. Then I remembered that when I first came here, I had touched the glass shards and it had changed to flowers. Maybe that would work this time too?I crouched down carefully on the ground and took a deep breath. Slowly, I picked up a shard of glass from the ground. I focused on changing it into a flower and to my relief; it worked. But then I sighed as I thought of what it meant for me. I had to touch each shard and barb in the path to get it cleared. I had thought that I could clear the path in a few days’ time. But this just changed the game entirely. At this rate, it would take me an eternity before I could reach the light in my core...But then, I felt confidence rise in me. My task may have gotten harder, but it didn’t mean that it was not achievable. I
