[CAMERON'S POINT OF VIEW]A groan left my throat at the awful pain in my head. Wait! Pain?!Shouldn't I be dead? Why was I feeling instead?Sluggishly, I opened my eyes, being overcome with the brightest of the room and once my vision cleared, I found myself staring at an unfamiliar ceiling and the beeping sounds coming from beside me made me realize I was in the hospital.Hospital, alive? How-“Good, you are awake.”I turned towards the voice, finding my mom occupying a hand chair. She stood up and advanced towards me on the bed. “Are you surprised to see that you’re alive?” she tsked. “Don't worry, I'm surprised too. The whole world is since your audacious act was caught on camera and now everyone thinks your dad and I are credible for your act of suicide and guess what, Mr. Charlie revealed this is not the first or second time you have tried to kill yourself, making us look bad in the public eye.” she sported a grin but there was something dark about it. It made me quake. She cont

(RHYS'S POINT OF VIEW) As demons, we didn't follow the rules of nature and did whatever we liked, but still, there were coincidences for some actions that just couldn't be avoided, like interfering with the fate of a human—keeping them alive when their time on earth had come to an end.I received a thunderclap as punishment for meddling with Cameron's fate. A normal demon would have shattered like a bulb. For a superior being like myself, the first one was only a warning, and the second would be the equivalent of being executed.I had been alive for countless years; death had become a friend. I had witnessed people lose their lives to illness, accidents, old age, diseases, or suicide, and whenever that happened, I could only laugh at the patheticness of how little they seemed to value what they had.Watching another human take their life should have been commonplace, and I should have laughed about it. However, seeing this human jump to his death felt like the end of the world, and I

[CAMERON’S POINT OF VIEW]I opened my eyes to find myself staring at an unfamiliar ceiling. I blinked the fog from my vision and bolted to a sitting position on a bed that clearly was not mine. The room was completely unfamiliar; it was made entirely of wood and had an ancient design.Where was I? Where was this place? Unanswered questions lingered in my mind as I tried to piece together what happened before everything went black, but my mind was blank, instead inviting an excruciating headache that made me groan. With confusion, I tried to get out of bed as my feet touched the soft rug on the floor, but then the door opened and the last people I expected to see again on this planet walked in, the only people who made me believe that maybe there was such a thing as a soulmate and love was all sunshine and rainbows, and I was just unlucky. "Grandma! Grandpa!" I yelled out in a sense of elation that I had not experienced in a while and I suddenly felt alive. I leaped from the bed and

(CAMERON'S POINT OF VIEW)When I gained consciousness, my whole body was screaming and begging for help.With difficulty, I pushed myself to a sitting position and cried out pain at the anguish on my backside."I thought you could take it." Rhys mocking voice echoed in my head. I scoffed. I did take it, even though I passed out from intensity and wild sensations. So, this was how having sex with a demon felt?I looked at the side beside the bed; Rhys was gone. I looked down at myself; I was wearing Rhys'shirt. I smiled and inhaled it. It was perfect, and suddenly, it felt like all my problems were gone.With a groan, I pushed myself off the bed, letting out another groan once my feet touched the floor. Then, my gaze landed on my phone, sitting on the table. I dragged my feet over and picked it up, and once I turned it on, it was filled with notifications, hundreds of them from my mom, and they were dead threats.She didn't know where I was, and that was enough. Without a second thou

(KAI'S POINT OF VIEW)When I walked out of Cameron's hospital room, everything in me told me to stay and protect him because just looking at his soulmate told me there was nothing good spelled around him. But he insisted I leave. He was going to be alright, right?My shoulders sagged as I sighed. I was once a victim of violence, but Cameron appeared to be in worse shape than I was. At least I wasn't being abused by the one who was supposed to love and care for me. A soulmate. Apparently, it wasn't all rainbows and sunshine, but I didn't have the right to say much because I didn't have one. I knew nothing about having a soulmate, but if having a soulmate meant being with that bastard in there, I would rather not have one. I loved the way my life was. After all, I had Ralph with me. With another sigh, I continued on my way. Rhys was there. If he was anything like Ralph said he was, he would protect him. Being occupied with my thoughts, I didn't hear the footsteps of someone coming
