The creature inside me Insight on my nature
“I’ll tell you something about yourself today,” Mark spoke as he made Zadkiel follow him to his office and instead of sitting formally on the chairs, facing each other, they sat on the couch side to side. “Listen Zadkiel, you know this is a public-funded orphanage. Although the existence of orphanages has almost gone extinct, we’re still running this nonprofit a-sort-of organization.” Mark started and Zadkiel was trying to relate this information to himself. “When we found you, we took you in because to us, you were just another baby who lost his parents and we wanted to protect you. We didn’t know what you exactly were back then. If we had an idea, we would’ve left you on that roadside.” Mark took a pause. “That feels great to hear.” Zadkiel chuckled bitterly. “I know but I always think about a broader picture. You lifted your crib in front of the couple who came to adopt you when you were just 1 and a half. They thought you were possessed and adopted someone else.” “Wow!” Zadkie

Zadkiel was staring at the spot where Irvin had first parked his car, through the window and kept replaying the first meeting he had with Irvin. He smiled thinking how confused he was. It’s not that he wasn’t confused anymore but just at that point he did a terrible job at hiding it. He was still going through that pain daily. It had been 4 days since he saw Irvin. He needed him every day, all the time. He was craving his touch, his smell and his warmth. He just wanted to be in his arms. Every time, the pain exceeded the tolerance level and something in his mind whimpered for Irvin, he’d just cuddle a pillow tightly, thinking it was Irvin. Sometimes it worked. Sometimes it didn’t. “Still trying to make his car magically reappear on that spot?” He heard Abel and smiled at his comment. He turned around and leaned his back against the wall beside the window, tilting his head a little to face his friend. “Any news on him?” He questioned him, hoping that Irvin had at least asked about hi

“Let’s watch Titanic.” Aaron offered to the boys who were sitting in the lounge doing absolutely nothing. Their age ranged from 15 to 22 and was very close because everyone shared the same grief. No parents. “And cry like idiots?” Abel rolled his eyes at the suggestion. “Dude be a little more sensitive. People died.” Zadkiel scolded him as he was clutching his stomach. He had increased the quantity of aconite to control himself in his heat. It was day 9th of his heat. Of course, aconite never helped in reducing the pain but it kept his demon side under control and that way Zadkiel didn’t find an urge to call Irvin. “Okay… let’s watch it.” Abel approved. Most of the other guys were still opposing the idea because they wanted to watch “Terminator” “Why we always watch ‘Titanic’ when I’m in heat?” Zadkiel mumbled to himself but didn’t take part in the protest. Finally, Titanic won and they put the CD in the player. Zadkiel was not even slightly interested in the movie but he kept loo

Zadkiel’s heat was over and he was now feeling more relaxed than ever. He started helping Hannah with accounts. He was trying to fully indulge himself in his previous routine. He liked himself better when he hadn’t met Irvin because then the only thing he had on his mind was what would he be doing when death will knock at his door but recently he had only one thought in his mind. Has Irvin already rejected him? Though a voice in his brain said that he hadn’t because he somehow knew that he’d feel the breaking of the bond. He couldn’t believe that he was actually believing the bond shit. Well, in all the things that were happening, what Irvin had told him felt very less strange and made a lot of sense. Though he still didn’t understand that if Irvin was just like him, why wasn’t he dying like Zadkiel? He wasn’t complaining but he was confused because he knew that whatever he was going through had something to do with his demonic side. Zadkiel was doing the accounts work in Hannah’s

“Do you even know what you’re doing?” Aiden asked Irvin as he was checking the menu card for his wedding.“Making sure the menu has all the items I want,” Irvin answered, still reading the menu. Aiden snatched the card from him and chucked it away.“You know what I’m talking about!” Aiden scoffed at him. Irvin had no mood to dive into that conversation. He had been avoiding it since the day Zadkiel refused to come home with him.“What is your problem, Aiden?” Irvin sighed, rubbing his temple with the forefinger and middle finger.“You have to reject your mate to bond with Vanessa. You do know that right?” Aiden reminded him. Irvin huffed.“Of course, I know that. I’m the alpha of the pack. You think I wouldn’t know something as simple as that?” Irvin had his voice low but stern. He was worn out, having the same conversation with his beta exhausted him.“An omega dies if an alpha rejects him. How can you do this to your mate? To anyone?” Aiden knew Irvin was more empathetic than

“Guess what? I have convinced Sister Hannah to convince Father to call Irvin here to ask him about the doctor he took you to.” Abel proudly informed Zadkiel who was busy throwing the ball at the wall and then catching it when it bounced back. “You’re wasting time and energy. Irvin doesn’t care now.” Zadkiel murmured and didn’t even try to tell Abel that Irvin never took him to any doctor. They never had a conversation about him after that night because then Zadkiel almost tried to kill Mark in his office and Abel witnessed it. “Well, talk to him one last time.” Abel insisted. Zadkiel didn’t answer and kept playing with the ball. He had shed his fair share of tears over it. He wasn’t going to even try now. He wouldn’t. If Irvin didn’t want him, he didn’t want Irvin as well. What’s the worst gonna happen? Irvin said he’d die? Well, he was already dying. Just that he thought he’d spend the last of his days with Irvin and that’s the only thing that kept making him sad from time to time

“I can’t leave Abel behind.” Zadkiel tried to choose less offensive words this time.“We’ll come back for him later. He’s going to join us as well.” Irvin informed Zadkiel but Abel stood up from bed again in protest.“And why would I go with you?” He gave a sharp look to Irvin.“For the same reason, you’re making me do this!” Zadkiel was the one who responded, making it clear he wasn’t going to argue.“Damn, man. Y’all are super humans and shit. What am I gonna do between you guys?” He didn’t like the idea of being in a circle where he’d be the slowest and the weakest.But of course, before anyone could say anything, Abel opened his mouth again to say the next golden words that would be written down in history as golden quotes by Abel Brian.“Tell your pet to stop ogling at me,” Abel spoke, giving Sean a weird look.“I’m not his pet!” Sean growled, moving forward towards Abel but Abel didn’t even flinch. He grunted, glaring at Abel to show him if he didn’t shut up, he’d regret it.“I’

Zadkiel had informed Mark about his decision to go with Irvin. He didn’t want to hide it. Of course, Mark tried to change his mind but Zadkiel was very much persistent that he wanted to go with him and there’s nothing Mark could do to stop him.Mark let him live in his dream for few days and was thinking of new strategies to make Zadkiel stay. He was well aware that Zadkiel must have thought something about Abel and that’s why he was so confident in his decision.Zadkiel was sitting with Hannah in her office and helping her with account details when Hannah looked up at him and saw him whistling while doing the work. She never saw him radiating this many happy vibes.“You look happy.” She looks back down on the register she was holding. Zadkiel stopped whistling and glanced at her.“Is that a bad thing?” He smiled at her.“No. It’s just I never saw you like this. So alive.” She commented, meeting his gaze and giving him a soft smile.“I still don’t see a problem in it.” Zadkiel s

The creature inside me Epilogue II
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
The creature inside me Epilogue I
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
The creature inside me The last goodbye
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'
The creature inside me Slipping through the fingers
"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
The creature inside me Fast forward
"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
The creature inside me The driving lesson
“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
The creature inside me Abel's flower buds
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
The creature inside me Two rays of sunshine
“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 creature inside me The strange pain
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
