LUCY.

“Are you an Angel? My special Angel?”

I should have smiled at the way he addressed me, but his words only cut my heart.

“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, and I saw the shock in his eyes, but I 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…”

‘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 your horns again!”

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?”

I nodded my head at the same time and let out a loud shriek when I saw him grab the necklace and aim to throw it away.

“Please don’t… I can’t control fire without it! “I blurted it out as fast as I could as I tried to take it from his hand, but he was good at taking it away from me.

“What do you mean?” His forehead creased as he slowly lowered his hand.

My breathing slowed, but my gaze remained fixed on the necklace in his hand. “Let me explain… You promised you would hear me out.”

“Explain then.”

“The necklace suppressed my demon power. It means if it’s near me, I cannot transform. into my demon form. And fire will not come out of my body.” I swallowed, waiting for him to say something, but he kept quiet.

“I can’t control fire yet. I tried to before, but it was stronger than me. I can burn this forest if I get upset.” I had no idea why I was not telling him about my father and the fire connection yet.

“If you want to see my demon form again, I will show it to you, all of it. But I need the necklace around so when my emotions overwhelm me, I can take it and the fire won’t come out.”

“There is something you’re not telling me.

This is not just about the fire burning the whole forest. Why are you suppressing your demon power? Don’t you want to be stronger so no one will abuse you and force you to do things you don’t want, like the Omega feast?”

Adan knew me.

“My power of fire… it connects me to my father. If I use it, he will be able to locate my exact location. And then…”

“He would find you… Your father, is he half demon?”

“No. He’s a full demon. The prince of darkness. And one day, maybe centuries from now, he will be chosen as the God of the Underworld.”

“That powerful…”

I nodded my head. “He wanted to take away my werewolf blood and make me a full demon.”

“Wow! Shit!” he grumbled as he brushed his palm across his face and tugged at his hair. ” This is fucking overwhelming…”

“If you don’t want me here anymore. I will walk away. I might be half demon, but I mean no harm.”

“What did you say?”

“I said I mean no harm.”

“No, the part where I don’t want you anymore?”
