INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 060
(KAI'S POINT OF VIEW)A week passed, and I remained in Reuben's home with his soulmate. I knew I was a burden to the couple, but I could not bring myself to go home knowing I would have to face Ralph, and I was not prepared for that.He hadn't come to find me yet, which was good. Only if fate had the same plans as me, my life would have gone as smoothly as the back of a knife, but as I watched Reuben enter the guest room I had been hiding in—it didn't. I needed to remain hidden for a little while longer and pay attention to my thoughts."You have a visitor." He announced, then shrugged and walked out.Despite having a bad feeling in my stomach, I dragged myself out of bed and walked out of the room.I went into the living room and found the last person I wanted to see on this planet, if not ever. I came to a halt as he turned his gaze to me. "What are you doing here?" I blurted out. “How did you know I was here?"Arryn rose from his seat. He had healed from his wounds, but his arms st
INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 061
(KAI’S POINT OF VIEW)Ralph opened the door when I returned home. Before he looked into my eyes, he gave me a downcast look as if looking for something. I stared back, unfluctuating, making no attempt to avert my eyes.“Had enough of the space?” The supercilious bastard grilled before scoffing and traversing his arms over his chest.Some guardian angel he was. I didn’t answer; instead, I seized him by the wrist, hauled him into the room, and slammed the door with my foot. Once inside, I slammed him against the nearest wall, trapping him between my arms and the wall. Astonishment flashed through his eyes, but it vanished as soon as his lips stretched into a smirk. "Are we getting bolder now?" I searched his eyes, wanting to find something, anything, but I couldn't read them, so I asked. “What do you want from me, Ralph?” The question immediately made him lose his smirk. I carried on. “Do you want my heart because you want power, or do you love me, Ralph, and don't fucking lie to me?”
INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 062
(kAI’S POINT OF VIEW)I lay in Ralph's arms like a wounded puppy, with no intention of leaving his newfound warmth—his new home. In his arms like this, I could stay there forever and bask in his scent and the feel of his body.“Are you sure you don't regret this?” Ralph whispered behind me and nuzzled his nose into my hair before planting a kiss on my shoulder. I made an effort not to vibrate in his arms.“There is nothing to regret," I answered his question. Maybe Kai, the golden guardian, would have regretted what just happened, but Kai, the human, didn't give a fuck. “You aren't planning on rending my heart out, are you?” I teased but with a serious undertone.He sighed against my shoulder before turning me around to face him, and I met those hazel eyes. “I never wanted your heart because I wanted power; my master did.” I trailed a thumb across his lips as I touched his face. They looked so irresistible. "Tell me a little bit more about your master." I didn't meet his eyes; I ceme
INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 063
(RALPH’S POINT OF VIEW)I swore to protect him, but I failed before I even tried. As I watched those claws go into his heart, it felt like the world was suddenly weighing on my shoulders, and I was pressed down on one knee, unable to move but watching as he was taken away from me...again. “NO!” I screamed, overwhelmed with an abrupt power I had never felt before, and I didn't know when I had Arryn slammed against the wall—eyes glaring a darker shade of red compared to his—but in a flash, I was behind Kai, catching him before he hit the ground.I watched as he choked on his own blood and a hole in his chest. Shit! I was hit with a variety of emotions all at once.Fear, horror, and terror—I couldn't lose him—not now, not ever.When I turned my gaze to Arryn, his black wings were on display, and he had a bloodthirsty look in his eyes. I laid Kai’s lifeless body on the floor and stood to my feet."He is not yours. The master wants his heart, and we do not disobey our master.”With each

(CAMERON’S POINT OF VIEW)Rhys was gone. He promised to return, but as the days passed, I missed him more and more and couldn't help but be grief-stricken. As I felt through Leo's furs, I sighed. "He's probably going to come back soon, right, Leo?” I murmured, and he purred back. I cracked a smile."Will you be okay here, darling? Your grandpa and I are stepping out for a while.” Grandma charged at me, a basket slung over her forehand and Grandpa by her side.I put on a happy face and quickly nodded. "Leo and I will be just fine until you return." Have fun.” I spoke, and as soon as they left through the door, I was suddenly engulfed in a loud silence that caused me to sigh. "I suppose it is just you and me, Leo. Be a good little boy."~^~Hours passed, and despite my best efforts to keep myself occupied, the silence grew so loud that I started to experience a menacing sensation in my stomach and a throb in my ear—I could hear every breath I took.I look out through the window, seeing
INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 065
(CAMERON'S POINT OF VIEW)I goggled at the devoid space in front of me and it stared back at me, none wanting to yield but I was forced to as my ears caught the sound of a 'meow'I spun toward the sound, finding Leo curled beside me. A slim smile crept to my face and I gently massaged his furs, once again reminding me that I wasn't completely alone.But, it wasn't enough. I darted away and back to having a staring match with the wall and again, it peered back, almost malevolently.It had been a day, a week, or perhaps a month since I was brought back and trashed in my room. I'd lost count of how long I'd been on the floor, how long I stared at the wall in the same position till someone walked in through the door and did with me whatever they pleased, and when they left, I returned to my previous position—the ache in my joints was nothing compared to the thorn in my chest and with each passing day, I could feel the vines thriving around my heart, tightening while it's sharp spikes punc
INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 066
(CAMERON’S POINT OF VIEW)The look of nihility in Blaze's orbs, how his blood gusted out of him, and how it ponded around him—everything flashed before my eyes, and I found myself craving to see it again, more of blood—there was this unquenchable hunger. It hauled me out of my position, and I went out to feed it, and the voices in my head couldn't agree more."Do you really think you will get away with this?" In her bound-to-a-chair position, Mom demanded, and her husband was next to her, suffering the same fate.I laughed as I circled them. “Who says I want to get away with anything? If anything, I want to be caught in the act. I want everyone to see who you were and what you made of me. It would give me great pleasure, but they would only come to your corpses, or should I say your ashes?"I was sick of being their marionette, sick of stashing behind those hoaxed smiles, and sick of being their exemplary son. Why pretend to be someone you are not? Tonight, I was going to show them wh
INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 067
(RHYS' POINT OF VIEW)Even if it were our nature to destroy and lead them astray, there were only a few things a demon could do in a human's life to keep them from going down the wrong path. But when a human falls too deeply in the wrong direction—like a demon in love—we would do everything we could to make sure they did not succumb to their inner desires and set the world on fire. But at this point, I felt like all of my efforts had been in vain. I realized that leaving him even for a moment meant a bigger disaster that would further erode his humanity and turn him into a bloodthirsty monster. "Then why are you here, drinking, when you should be keeping an eye on him? Who knows what he is up to now, probably igniting the world?" Instead of turning to look at the annoyance next to me, I simply rolled my eyes. Even though my tongue could not detect any flavor in the wine, I took a sip anyway to drown out the club's raucous background noise. Humans reveled in and found pleasure in
