“I gotta say, the horns suit you,” Lokus grinned.
Oh gods.
No.
The transformation.
Val elbowed him in the gut.
“Now you can be the one to find him a mirror, ya cunt.”
Lokus gave a smug grin,willingone in front of me.
Of course, the bastard had one off-hand.
My heart thundered so loudly it echoed in my ears.
Lifting the thing felt like lead weight in my hand.
Twin black curling horns, similar to those of a gazelle, not unlike the ones Famei possessed, rose over a foot in the air. Sharp, black bone plating protruded shallowly from the outermost edges of my brows and cheeks. My eyes dipped to the back of my hand, holding the mirror to see the same plating peppered my knuckles and forearms and…
Oh fuck.
I dropped the mirror to examine both of them.
Claws.
I had fucking claws.
Gods…I looked like some hells-spawn demon from mythology… Exactly as I had seen in my premonitions… There was only one thing missing…
I sat up, swinging my legs over the bed.
Thalia reached out for me, curling her fingers around my bicep to ensure I was steady. I wasn’t sure whether to shove her away because it might feigned concern to soften my heart towards her so she could get what she wanted… Or allow my heart to be softened by the action because it was genuine.
I did neither. Instead, I ignored her. A few gasps sounded, and someone made a choking noise. My gaze dropped to the mutilated sight of my tail… Though it appeared to be growing back. ThankAkash.
No, that wasn’t what had caused the gasps.
I scanned the room, looking for a full-length mirror, my eyes landing on a gold-framed, floor-to-ceiling one on the opposite end. My breath punched out of me at the sight before me.
My wings.
My beautiful wings…
All of my feathers…
Gone.
Instead of the wings that only Seraphi, rare bird shifters, and the odd fae who likely had hybrid blood from the two…
Mine were now like that of a gargantuan bat.
Or demon.
Instead of my lush, lustrous feathers, my wings were now made up of thin dark membranes, slender, curved and flexible-looking bones that ran through them, and sharp thumb claws at their angular peaks.
I flexed them wide… In equal parts horror and admiration. They looked... terrifying.
