“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.

Adan’s mouth dropped as his body stiffened,

couldn’t tell if he despised me or not. “Your

eyes.’

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…”

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.”

The way his deep, baritone voice came out

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?”
