“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.

I had horns and a tail, and all he noticed

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 was standing naked in front of the only man I was willing to show my true self to, and I knew that if he ran away, he would shatter me to pieces.

“I’m sorry…”

‘Don’t be sorry for who or what you are.’ A voice rang in my head. 1

Am I hearing something? I swallowed hard and looked around to see if anyone else was present. Maybe it was Selene speaking with

My eyes locked with Adan’s again. His face was void of any emotion, and I hated it. I wish I could read his mind.

‘Calm yourself or the fire will come out.’

Whoever she might be, she was right, I need to calm down or the fire will come out.

My horns and my tail, as well as my wings, were things my father would not be able to detect because they were part of my body. They were my own.

But the fire was my connection to him it was a gift that linked me to him.

I dropped my gaze from the Alpha as I rushed toward where he was seated to grab the necklace on the ground beside him, but before I could take it, his hand grabbed mine and stopped me from picking it up.

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.”

“I want to see your full demon form. Out

The way his deep, baritone voice came out

with that order was too sexy, making tingles spread in between my thighs.

I gulped and shook my head.

“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?”
