Bonded for Eternity, Royal.kiss [free novel 24 TXT] 📗

to understand was not to go against the pain at any costs; welcome it instead. Yes, still sounded strange to my own ears, but I tried to resist the first time of escapeless transformation, and made the biggest mistake. Good, we learn from our major errors.


I had a white blouse on with my back revealed to the public so that my wings wouldn't rip through the material, which would pitilessly damage the shirt.


With a little time left, I managed to establish control over things. Balanced myself across the sky, flew like a sparrow free to go anywhere I want. Though, there was only one place where I had to be. Perhaps, one was unknowingly seeking it. Different emotions whirled through me. It was impossible to hang in there while facing the consequences that direct to explanations, explanations that bring exposure, and exposure that lead to punishment.


My heart would just shatter.


Merciless exhaustion took over my body, letting a weary sigh escape my shivering lips and discarding several thoughts from my worn-out mind.

elpless, almost unbearable night visited me yet again.


Silence indulged the castle before dawn. Everyone should be asleep by now, except the crown prince who was kept awake due to inevitable nightmares. Constant blame had taken away all of the rest, and made sleep unachievable. A low growl broke out from me due to the throbbing headache that ruthlessly started to pound. My arm automatically searched for a glass of whiskey with the intention on finding one on the floor. Strong alcohol was never a friend of mine, though things change, and I finally discovered something that seemed to ease pain from the inside. Unfortunately the effect didn't last long.


The bed gave a soft noise as I got up to head towards the mini bar while passing veranda, which was on my right side with the white light doors wide open. The glass should be there, if it wasn't on the floor.


Flap

I opened the mini fridge and took out an ice cube tray. Whiskey, which followed after the ice cubes, was carelessly poured into my glass.


Flap, flap

This time the odd sound came louder, intervening the pleasure. With the transparent glass held midway to my lips, I frowned; my eyes lazily checked the bedchamber.


Nothing.


"That is what happens when you consume a strong beverage in big amounts. You start hallucinating things."-The thought crossed my mind.


I nonchalantly shrugged my shoulders and continued to drink until I felt someone's hard gaze on me. I whirled at that instant. And saw her.


The whole view was focused on a beautiful angel with large, amazingly pearly white wings that were sparkling like a thousand diamonds. She was seated on the balcony that had white plinths to support it. Her black long hair hung loose down her shoulders in contrast with the white cotton blouse, which showed off her delicate collarbones. If this tiny piece of cloth could be mistaken for shorts, then let them be called that as they were undeniably revealing perfect legs, and to complete the whole look, a dangerous pair of silver knee length boots complimented the entire outfit. The color seemed extremely pure and so ...untouchable, even if the garment exposed too much of her skin.


Walnut glinting eyes looked suspiciously at me, observing skeptically. Something was not right.


Wait...was that Loretti

? Wings? A-angel? How on...?!


Her cold stare was new to me. She never looked at me like this before, at least not with the meaningful attitude that pointed 'stay away from me or else you are dead'. The woman had Loretti's features, but on the whole a complete stranger. I thought the glass would slip through my fingers, but instead I gripped at it harder, oblivious to the possibility of crushing it.


There was an intangible silence. No one dared to speak, anxious of killing the quietness. We were staring at one another, not willing to break the eye contact, realizing it would mean a defeat.


And when I thought I couldn't keep up with the useless game any longer, she closed her eyes, uncrossed her legs and arms, turned her head toward the moon and made a sound of absolutely bored creature that was starting to get tired of its new toy.


Loretti got down slowly, as graceful as a panther. Then in a blink of an eye she was standing, fully facing me. I caught a glimpse of a shadow passing across her hungry eyes. Drastic changes occurred after. White feathers turned black which was utterly shocking, her emotions changed into something seductive, sexy and passionate and yet not the passion we had shared once, something that felt more alien. I hardly knew the person; this supernatural being that was standing right here in front of me. It was already difficult to comprehend and with everything going on...I passed out. It was the lamest and the most shameless thing to do. Damn
