His Dark Angel (Fated Love Series Book 2)

Epiphany

“What the Hell is wrong with me?!” I thought out loud.

I could not stand him an hour ago but now I yearned for Jasper to follow me to my bedroom and ease my mind.

When I saw him with Celine, a fallen angel I know gets around, I snapped. He is mine, fated to me.

While in that moment I did not understand why, I knew what that meant. Despite his words, I did not believe he felt the same. How could he? I had been awful to him for 12 years.

The doubt grew stronger while I waited, lying on my bed hoping he would join me and rid me of the pain in my heart.

As I witnessed Jasper dry screwing Celine, I instinctively stopped them from going further. I had to get away.

Running out the door, I nearly gave away a secret I'd been keeping. Letting my darkening wings free I took off without a second thought. I had to fly.

The day my parents defeated the darkness I gained my wings just like Derek. Earth was my home and I feared if my mom and dad learned I too was a full angel they would have no reason to remain here. Our family was invited to return to Heaven after my parents defeated Jasper's father but chose to remain as they felt life on Earth was better suited for me believing I did not have wings.

As the years passed I began noticing one by one my once pure white feathers were darkening. I always blamed this on Jasper believing his dark powers were tarnishing my light but with my new found love I saw his radiant heart, realizing the truth. My life had not been easy and I allowed my negative emotions to take hold.

While I pondered over my new found realization, I heard a knock on my door. Through tears I told whomever it was to come in hoping it was Jasper.

My mother opened the door. Joining me on my bed she embraced me witnessing the defeated state I was in.

“Sweetheart, I know this is unexpected but we all support both you and Jasper. These things happen for a reason. Now, tell me. What is going on?”

I could not explain everything to her without revealing my long kept secret. I knew she had her dark phase but fought it, allowing light to conquer. Because of that she would not understand my truth. I did not hate my darkness even if I had previously convinced myself I did. After everything I went through I earned my black feathers.

I decided to say what I knew she wanted to hear, manipulating my truth to form feelings she would expect from me.

“Mom, I love him! How did this happen? He is dark! There is no way he would want someone like me to be his destiny!” I cried.

“What do you mean someone like you? You are amazing, my love. You are strong, beautiful, intelligent, powerful. Any man, Jasper included, would be blessed to have you. Also, Jasper is far from dark. Just because his parents were the epitome of despair does not mean their child has the same heart.”

She said it. It was exactly what I needed to hear. I was not destined to be light. I now believed that was why Jasper was my fated.

We were the next generation of darkness and there was no way my parents would be able to stop me.

They may be the almighty love who keeps the light alive for eternity but I am their child. They would never harm me. I just needed to ensure Jasper felt for me as I did him then reintroduce him to his father's path.
