They headed to Irvin’s car parked right before the hospital’s door. Irvin headed straight to the driver seat, Zadkiel took the passenger while Abel sat in the back. Irvin’s expressions were still stoic. He was just minding his own business, roaring the engine to life. Zadkiel had a lot of questions in his mind and nothing could stop him from asking them.“Who put a broomstick up your ass?” Zadkiel fired the question. Abel couldn’t hold his laugh and burst out but Irvin’s glare through the rear view mirror made him slap his lips together.“What’s gotten into you? Don’t glare at my friend.” Zadkiel swatted his bicep. Irvin rolled his eyes.“Is this because I fucking healed my best friend?” He asked, squinting his eyes at him. Irvin kept driving but didn’t answer.“He was in pain. I just helped him and I’m not sorry about it.” Zadkiel scoffed, crossing his arms.“Why didn’t you do it when you knew he could be out of pain in seconds?” Zadkiel raised his eyebrow at him.They had reac
As soon as they were done with the breakfast, Irvin offered Zadkiel to take him out. He wanted to show Zadkiel around. He wanted to make him feel like he’s home. He wanted him to blend in with all the people.“Let me ask Abel,” Zadkiel replied. Irvin didn’t say anything though he wanted to be alone with Zadkiel but guess he had to tolerate his friend every time.Zadkiel sprinted off to Abel’s room and knocked. He never had been so happy and that could be seen in the way he was bouncing in his position. There was a different kind of happiness bubbling inside him because for the first time he and the creature inside him were both agreeing on similar things. They both wanted Irvin.Abel opened the door and Zadkiel didn’t wait to push him aside and walk-in. He stood before Abel and closed the door.“C’mon we’re going out.” He informed him but instead of jumping like Zadkiel, Abel cocked his eyebrow.“Define ‘we’?” He folded his arms on his chest, looking at him pointedly. Zadkiel tsk
“What’s the process of mating?” He asked Irvin before he could control himself but now the words were out and he wanted the earth to swallow him.“Eager huh?” Irvin teased him which made his cheeks heated.“I’m just curious,” Zadkiel informed, looking down at his lap.“To claim a mate you have to mark him first because if your mate, mates with someone else, the bond breaks. But after the claiming, it’s on you when you want to have sex but the longer you take, the weaker the bond becomes.” Irvin explained it to him.“So, you want to tell me we should hurry?” Zadkiel smirked, raising his eyebrows. Irvin laughed.“I just told you what you asked.” He put his hand in the air, chuckling.“What do you mean by mark?” Zadkiel asked, scooting closer to Irvin because he had enough of control.“The Alpha bites the omega and leaves a mark there. It stays there for a while but it’s a sign for other alpha’s to stay away because the omega is taken.” Irvin informed. He could sense that Zadkiel
Three days had passed since Zadkiel heard that heated argument of Irvin with his dad about kicking him out. Since that day he hadn’t been able to find rest. He was always anxious that any moment Irvin is going to realize that Zadkiel is a threat and will kill him or worse, kick him out. He was living in fear. Again.When he was informed he was a werewolf, he was disappointed but he was satisfied as well. He was satisfied that after waiting for 20 years he finally had his answer for the question “who is he?” but now it’s blank again because he wasn’t a werewolf. He was different from them as well. He was back to square one.After that day, whenever Irvin tried to mark him, he made an excuse to avoid it because in his head, breaking up a marked bond would be more painful than breaking an unmarked bond and he knew one day Irvin would want to break it so, he didn’t want to make it painful for himself or Irvin.He was aware that if Irvin kicked him out, it wouldn’t be his fault because
“We are mates.” Sean just threw it in there because he knew no revenge would be better than telling Abel about this.“Yeah… right fact bud-” Abel casually started but then his eyes snapped open and he shot up, looking at Sean with a horrorstruck face.“WHAT?!” He spoke so loudly in shock that even Sean flinched.“You’re my mate, Mister,” Sean answered nonchalantly, grabbing the bottle of water.“Want some water to swallow it? I mean purified urine.” He teased. Abel gave him a blank look.“If all this is some joke to you, it isn’t funny.” He gave him a glare.“I wish it was but now you’re stuck with me,” Sean smirked.“Dude, that’s totally your belief. In humans, there are no mates so, no thank you.” Abel spat but this made Sean sit up and wiped off the smirk on his face.“You can’t reject me,” Sean spoke, totally in horror.“Oh, I ca-” But before Abel could complete this sentence, Zadkiel barged in to save the day. Though he had been listening to the conversation, he acted as
“This is the place I took you the night you were in heat,” Irvin whispered, giving a light squeeze to Zadkiel’s hand.After their little picnic at the cottage where Irvin had locked Abel in, on the night he brought them here, they walked down to the river bank where they sat the night and talked calmly for the first time.Heavy clouds were covering the sky and a steady wind was blowing, making the trees dance and leaves float in freedom. The woods looked more beautiful in the dim light of the setting day and the clouds that could shower on them any time made it more excited.The river was enjoying itself, singing a song as it splashed across the big rocks in its way. The water was cold and clean but the sound it made was enough to soothe the nerves of any listener.“That seems like ages ago.” Zadkiel chuckled sitting on the rock where they sat before. Irvin plopped down beside him. He grabbed Zadkiel’s hand which made the younger turn his head to him.“Remember when you thought t
“Was she a ghost?” Zadkiel spoke now taking that woman’s place to sit down.“I have no idea. But she wasn’t a ghost at all.” Irvin sat beside him.“Whoever she was, she ruined our fun,” Zadkiel murmured, resting his head on Irvin’s shoulder. Irvin chuckled and turned his face to kiss the top of his head.“Let’s head home. It’s going to be dark soon and look at the sky. I feel like a storm is coming.” Irvin spoke standing up and extending his hand for Zadkiel.“The date is over already?” Zadkiel pouted, giving Irvin a puppy dog face.“No… we can continue whatever we were doing when we’re home.” Irvin suggested and it was enough to make Zadkiel jump up and grab Irvin’s hand.They both walked out of the woods. The cool wind gushed through them, making them shiver a bit but they attached their bodies to keep themselves warm. Irvin’s hand was encircled around Zadkiel’s waist while Zadkiel was rubbing his hands together to keep himself warm.They entered the car and as soon as Irvin
Irvin and Abel were outside while Dr Hill was running tests on Zadkiel. Irvin finally brought Zadkiel to the hospital for a proper checkup. He didn’t want to waste more time than he actually had. He was busy with some business deals bombarded on him by his father and he knew his father did it on purpose so Irvin wouldn’t get enough time for Zadkiel but today Irvin just straight up said no to his father to do this.Dr Hill exited the examination room with Zadkiel. He had unreadable expressions on his face which made Abel more scared while Irvin still waited for an answer.“Let’s take this to my office.” Dr Hill spoke. They all followed him to his office. Dr Hill took his time in taking off his coat and adjusting on his seat which scared Abel more.“Can you please reveal the big secret now? Is there any cure for him?” Abel finally ran out of patience and questioned. Dr Hill leaned forward on the desk between him and the three of them and clasped his hands on it.“Well, I can’t seem
He walked through the familiar path and stopped by his father’s for a while just to listen to him talk about his mother ever so lovingly and he couldn’t feel better about it. He was glad to hear that his parents found their way back to each other. It took them years to do so but it was all worth the eternity they were going to spend together.After his father’s he headed to check on Abel who still hadn’t remembered him but they had reformed a new friendship here.“Hey, angel.” Abel greeted him with a smile on his face.“Can you not call me an angel?” He sighed, shaking his head but a smile was present on his face.“Seriously, you have wings and a face like an angel. What do you want me to call you?” He questioned, arching his eyebrow.When Zadkiel found out that Abel ended up in heaven, it wasn’t a surprise for him. He knew the man for his whole life and he knew there was not one day where he meant any harm for another person except for those who hurt Zadkiel.“Okay, whatever bu
He gazed at the beautiful waterfall as he thought about the last sixty-eight years of his life. Every moment he spent with his friends and family. He couldn't be more grateful than he already was for the life he lived. He enjoyed every moment of it. Yes, there were ups and downs. Yes, he lost some people in the way but that was part of the journey. He still wouldn't exchange it for anything else, except for the part where his mate died in his arms. Whenever he thought of it, he wished he had died with him too.He tried to stay with his family. He tried to be there for them but it didn’t matter. He couldn’t do it. Now, he knew what heartbreak his mother had gone through.Maybe, it wasn’t that difficult if his best friend hadn’t died the same week. He had lost everyone. Not his kids, but that wasn’t enough. The people who were there all through his life. To whom he could share anything. They were gone. He could talk to his kids but having a whole generation gap wasn’t helping in the c
He knew he could heal him. He just had to hold his hand and think about it but he was strictly told not to. Because Irvin's body was too weak to stay functional now so every time he healed him from something that he feared would end up in his death, he healed him, making the next time more difficult for Irvin.Two sons came rushing through the door. Felix immediately took Aphia out of the room while Anwyll called the doctor.Irvin suddenly stopped gasping and shaking as he lay still. Zadkiel instantly check if his heart was still beating and it was but barely. His skin was cold and his body was stiff. All family members were now gathered in the room to check up on Irvin. Everyone just sat there staring at him while trying to hold back their sobs because they knew it was the time.The doctor checked up on Irvin and told them that she have given him every medicine needed and hoped he'd get better but she also warned that they might just say their last goodbyes to him because Irvin'
"Irvin..." He sobbed, holding his hand and pulling his sleeping body over him with his other hand. He dipped down his head and placed a kiss on the top of his hair, lingering his lips there.Irvin fluttered his eyes open, very slowly. He was confused for a moment before he looked up at his sobbing mate."Why are you crying, Zadkiel?" He asked pulling away from him and sitting up, though it took a real effort from him to do so."What were you doing on the west of the border?" He wanted to ask but he knew the answer would be too painful for his mate to remember and way more painful for him to hear."I just love you so much. That's why." Zadkiel answered giving him a smile and wiping off his tears."Well, thank you." He replied, resting his back against the headboard because his back was hurting. Zadkiel put a pillow behind him to make it as comfortable and soft as he could."Look! A butterfly." Irvin lifted his hand that was shaking uncontrollably to the window behind him.Zadkie
"Dad, what are you doing here?" A black-haired man, with hazel green eyes, maturity dripping from his face, asked a white head man, wrinkly face and confused expressions."I'm sorry. I lost my way." The white head man with emerald eyes replied with a tremor in his voice which was the gift of old age."This doesn't even the way to home. Where were you going, by the way?" He asked the old man, approaching him and helping him sit on the bench.The old man took almost five minutes to think with a confused face before answering "I don't know." He said looking up but then his confusion intensified as he stared at the face of the black-haired guy. "I'm sorry but who might be you, gentleman?" He asked politely unknown of the fact that whenever he said something like that, it hurt the other man so much. "Let's get you home." He spoke, standing up and helping the white-haired old man, keeping his touch and hold very gentle."Where is home?" The old man questioned but nonetheless followe
“This is the most difficult thing to do in the world,” Zadkiel screamed while trying to drive the car smoothly while Irvin sat beside him.Irvin finally decided to give Zadkiel those driving lessons he promised and that too in his favourite car that he rarely drove. But now it seemed like it wouldn’t be left in the condition to drive after these lessons.“No, you’re just panicking too much.” Irvin sighed.“I’m not. Get this thing to stop!” He whined. He was so done with these lessons. It was way too much for him to process. Even his angelic powers weren’t helping in this.Irvin face palmed himself, shaking his head before speaking. He couldn’t believe that Zadkiel was having a panic attack while driving Tesla which required low to none skills. For a person who had no idea how to drive, it was really very easy but Zadkiel made it seem like it was as hard as walking on water. Yeah right, he was making it seem like it was impossible. God forbid if it was any other model. He would’ve
Zadkiel sprinted down the stairs with a 3 months old in his arms while Irvin was just behind him with another 3 months old held in his arms. They both rushed to Anne’s room and barged in without knocking because it was an emergency.“Mom, can you take care of the babies. Abel is in labor.” Irvin spoke and he wasn’t even asking because he knew the answer already so, he just laid down his son on the bed and Zadkiel followed him.“Oh... Don’t worry about them. Just go.” Nora answered, sitting beside the babies.“I’ve fed Felix but Anwyll was asleep so when he wakes up, please feed him. I’ve made his formula. It’s in the yellow one. Felix’s is Blue and Anwyll has yellow. Don’t mix up please. Yeah and please, make sure Anwyll burps. I don’t know what’s the matter with him but he seems to like the idea of vomiting out everything on me but is too stubborn to burp.” Zadkiel said, adjusting the blanket around his babies and then leaning down and kissing. He was about to turn around but reme
“Zadkiel, what’s wrong?” He asked his mate who looked pale as if someone had just drained the blood out of his system. His eyes were closed and he looked like he was about to puke.“Zad-” Irvin cut himself off when he felt something wet seeping down his pants. His eyes flicked down to where their crotches were meeting and a gasp left his mouth when he saw that Zadkiel’s pants were also soaking.“Zadkiel…” He instantly sat up and lifted his chin to have a better look at him. “Baby, what’s going on?” He asked but Zadkiel gave no reply.His eyes remained shut and his breaths were laboured. Irvin pulled him against his chest not knowing what Zadkiel was going through. He had no idea why would Zadkiel just piss himself.“Irvin…” Zadkiel whispered taking a few moments to himself.“I don’t feel good. Help me.” He said in a shaky voice as his eyes flicked up at his mate, glistening with tears.“Hey, it’s all right I got you. Let’s change and then we can go to the hospital.” Irvin assure
The next two months went as smoothly as they could have because everything was settled. Zadkiel spent a hell lot of his time at Abel’s, took him to the doctor’s and way back home because Sean was easily getting on his nerves. He always blamed Sean for not telling him that this would happen to him because he hated being pregnant but he also loved that he was going to be a father soon. Though it wasn’t enough for him to see Sean’s face.Sean knew it was just his mood swings and hormones because, at the end of the night, Abel couldn’t go to sleep until it was Sean holding him from the back and assuring him that he’d be fine and how happy it made him that Abel was carrying his baby.Zadkiel, when he was not with Abel, spent his time with Ayaan and his kids. He loved his cousins so very much. He even loved babysitting them. Irvin was more than happy to spend some time with the kids when he was home.In the night, when Irvin came back home, Zadkiel made sure to give his time and attentio
