All Chapters of Seventh Deadly Sin (Book Two in My Archangel Soulmate series: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

DayaCold...An icy coldness wrapped around my entire body, feeling my jaw slightly quivering as all my senses gradually resurfaced back to reality.My wet lashes fluttered a few times before finally adjusting to the poor lighting surrounding me, hearing liquid lightly splashing around me as my limbs jerked, soon enough noticing the reddened water engulfing my completely bare body.The shedding process!My entire body jerked once again, tightly gripping against the bathtub’s edge as I struggled to rise my still weakened frame from the freezing ruby water, lightly wobbling as I finally managed to stand, only to suddenly feel myself losing balance as a rather loud rumble vibrated throughout the entire house.“AZRAEL STOP!”My eyes widened as I quickly recognized the source of that audibly anguished voice, with shaky limbs forcing myself to step out of the deeply colored water.Leaving a pinkish trail on the otherwise pristine white tiled floor, I weakly made my way towards the cabinets

Silence engulfed the whole spacious room for what felt like eternity as we so quietly stared at each other, my mind still revolving around those specific moments just a few hours ago back in the backyard.His bright blue eyes held my own for a few moments longer, not even bothering to hide the hurt and despair pulsing so vividly inside of them as he almost pleadingly uttered,“You know you don’t have to do this.We can always leave this place and-”“And what?” I suddenly found myself asking out loud,“Go back to that wretched place we used to call a home? To that monster who calls herself a mother?” I watched him cast his gaze somewhere to the carpeted floor, quickly rising up from my seat as I could practically feel his anger and frustration only growing, lowering on my knees right in front of his sitting form as I quietly said,“I’m sorry, Rem, but I can’t do this. Not anymore...”I took a moment to swallow the growing boulder threatening to crush the inside of my throat, tightly gr

BlakeA cold shiver trailed down my spine as I still laid wide awake, numbly snuggling myself even closer against Ricky’s warm body.Even though I’ve chosen to stay with him for the night like I always did back when I were just a scared kid that needed comfort and protection, I’ve been lying around wide awake almost the entire night after all that crazy shit.Not even my brother’s calming presence could lull me to sleep.All those crazy moments, all those hurtful words kept replaying on and on in my mind, keeping me restless.My stupid mistake with Rem...Rem and Azrael’s fight...That certain unexpected disclosure of Luc and Raph’s true feelings...Daya’s sudden decision of freaking sacrificing herself after all that fucked-up shit...And the last, most painful event...Azrael’s sudden cold behavior towards me...Feeling my brother’s arm wrap even tighter around me I tightly clutched my hands against his hoodie, closing my eyelids shut as I felt tears once again threatening to slip at

I only blinked a few times, staring at his brooding figure, moments before he swiftly circled around me, immediately feeling the burning heat of his body barely touching my back as my attention was now trained on the fallen before me, letting me know that he had moved right behind me.And as I mindlessly watched Raph carelessly discard his jacket and slowly kneel right in front of me, I could feel Azrael’s hands gently grip my wrists, another shiver crawling up my spine as I could feel his breath tickling the shell of my ear, that tingling vibration lightly touching my back as he almost inaudibly said,“Just so you know, I was never going to take her life. I am not a monster, you know...”“I n-never said that,” I quickly stammered, feeling my heart already pounding inside my chest.“Then why do you keep staring at me like I’m your worst nightmare?”My breath faltered, completely lost for words, small tears already making their way down my cheeks as he quietly proceeded to carefully dr

Taking a small, timid step closer I peered at the visibly pale, seemingly fallen into a deep slumber girl as her half-bare body rested in Death’s gentle embrace, skin on skin, safely covered by a white-fleeced blanket.So small and fragile she seemed, cradled in between his muscled arms like a child in its parent’s protective embrace as her head rested against his shoulder, her slender palm resting against the middle of his bare chest, gingerly supported by his hand around her wrist.A tiny, faint glow slowly pulsed from beneath, no doubt coming from that particular symbol deeply engraved in her skin, oddly enough pulsing at the same pace with Death’s faintly glowing as well midnight orbs as he sat in her bed with his back resting against the bed frame, unmoving.“What happened? Why is she like this?” I found myself quietly asking, careful as to not disturb their very peculiar yet peaceful moment as we had already intruded their privacy the moment we stepped inside her room, unannounc
