Chapter 123: THE COMPLETED BOND (3)
He glanced over his shoulder, and fell into absolute awe at the sight of his newly transformed wings. The top pair of wings were still massive, although not as massive as before, with black feathers that were edged with a flicker of gold lining at the edges. This detail hadn’t been there before.
The new lower pair glimmered faintly with crimson light that seemed to seep through his skin. They folded over his back with grace. They lacked the gold lining at the edges that the top pair had though.
It was done, he thought. The bond was now complete. This was the final shape that his wings were going to take. He had never heard of a demons wings changing shape after they were fully mated. The normal thing to happen would be the stabilizing of ones power.
However, was this because his mate was an angel?
He looked up at his angel, ready to see the awe in her eyes. But, Arella was staring, with eyes wide, her faze fixated beyond him, behind him, at the wings that fluttered gently on his back.
"Varziel," her voice was so soft, so much so that it could not even be called a whisper, "I don’t think it’s over."
Varziel blinked once, unable to talk immediately because he was still catching his breath from the painful transformation. "What?" He finally managed to ask.
The pain of the transformation was slowly subsiding. At least, that is what he thought.
His veins burned as the pain returned twofold.
It was nothing like the slow burn of the first transformation.
No, this pain was entirely different. He could feel the snapping of his bones, the fall of his wings, and even the breaking of his back.
