“Are you an Angel? My special Angel?”

I should have smiled at the way he addressed

me, but his words only cut my heart. 1

“I’m not. I’m the exact opposite.”

My eyes watered, as I let my horns surface from my temples while my tail began to

swoosh around my back until it was

standing proudly beside me.

were my eyes. But yes, my eyes turned

crimson red.

“Don’t run.” My voice broke as my

shoulders began to shake, while I tried my

best not to cry.

When did I get so weak?

I felt my horns retract, as well as my tail, because of the opal stone’s presence.

I tilted my head to look at him as my heart thudded loudly. His face was still void of any emotion. I had no clue if he was repulsed or terrified of me.

“Show me more,” he said in a calm voice.

“I need the necklace.”

“Yes,” I answered.
