“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

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.”

“Is this the reason why you can’t change into your demon body?”

“Yes,” I answered.

“If I throw it far, you can let your horns and tail come out?”
