"I should go. Abel must be waiting for me." He spoke as he stood up on his tippy toes and placed his hands on Irvin's shoulder to balance himself while Irvin's hands travelled down to his waist. He leaned in to kiss his lips while placing one hand on the back of Irvin's neck.He closed his eyes and as soon as their lips were attached, Zadkiel had another vision, he got so lost in it that he pushed Irvin against the door to elongate the kiss."Good to see you come to rescue your pack members, Irvin." A voice spoke softly, though in authority."Who are you? Why did you attack my pack members and how do you know my name?" Irvin asked. It was dark and it was taking so long for the image to become clear. It was a blur."You may not remember me but I clearly remember you, best friend." But when the guy answered Irvin's questions, the whole scenery become clear. It looked like a small cottage that was lit with dim lights coming from the small lanterns placed at a safe distance from o
The meeting with Abel didn't go as he thought it would go at first because when he messaged Abel, he was mad at Irvin and he was ready to do some bitching about Irvin to feel relaxed but when he actually left to see him, he wasn't anymore. Though there were still some things on his mind that he did like to talk to Abel about but still he wasn't raging mad at his mate. They both just talked about what Irvin told him before going there and what he learnt when he had the vision.He was also feeling guilty for using Irvin like that for his own advantage. He knew he shouldn't have used him like that but he had completely lost in his vision.Putting everything else aside, the vision or whatever it's called, gave him new information. It confirmed that Irvin didn't know about him from the first meeting and his guess was that maybe Edmond also didn't know because only that could be the reason why Edmond was so desperate to unite his son and his mate and after Irvin came back from the Appalac
Once they reached the point, Irvin got out and ran towards the other side of the car at super speed so he could open the door for Zadkiel."You're being gentle." Zadkiel grabbed the extended hand and stepped out of the car."I'm always gentle, mister." Irvin gave him a pointed look, a smile visible on his face."When you're not being a meanie." He smirked and kissed Irvin's cheek before letting go of Irvin's hand and jumped up to sit on the bonnet of the car, facing the sun."I'm never a meanie to you. You haven't seen my mean side, love." Irvin followed him on the bonnet of the car but as soon as his clothed ass made contact with the bonnet, he jumped up."How are you sitting on that? It's so hot." Irvin frowned, staring at his mate in shock. He was shocked to see Zadkiel sitting on the bonnet so comfortably when it was burning like hellfire."Why? What's wrong with it?" Zadkiel asked and after seeing the genuine confusion on Zadkiel's face, he understood that Zadkiel was immun
I wanna see my mother." Zadkiel requested with a pleading look. Irvin chuckled and brought his hand to his lips, leaving a feathery kiss there."Sure, baby.""Not somewhere out like some cowards but right there at the apartment you gave her to stay." He added.Irvin smiled and gave a nod before turning the key to start the car."And Irvin..." Zadkiel lunched forward to make him stop."Yeah?""I... I want to say sorry as well. I kinda... You know what happened the other day when I just started making out with you out of nowhere..." He looked up at Irvin to see if he remembered that moment. Irvin nodded, thinking as if he would ever forget something like that."I have a power of having... Uh... visions. I was so lost in the... The vision that I... I forgot what I was doing and just kept going so I could see the whole vision." Zadkiel wanted to get this one off his chest because this was the first time he took advantage of Irvin like that."Oh." It was all that Irvin could say.
They hopped in the car and took off to the west side of the woods to the cave. The car ride was quiet and an eerie silence was filling the air because of what happened earlier and that was until Abel pinched Zadkiel’s upper arm from the backseat and Zadkiel yelped.“I’m sorry.” Abel put up his hands in defence when Zadkiel looked back with one hand carrying his phone in the air. Zadkiel instantly understood what he was trying to say.“It’s alright.” He turned back to look out of the window but a few seconds later, he subtly pulled out his phone from his pocket and checked it. Indeed there was a recent message from Abel. He ignored the older ones and read the last one he received.Bro, I saw him outside the woods. Your uncle. I didn’t tell Irvin because I don’t want anything to happen to your uncle as it happened to your mother.Zadkiel looked at him through the rear view mirror and gave him a look before turning his head down to type a message.I told you that he isn’t lying this
“Now let’s get going. We really need to catch up.” Ayaan patted his back and pulled back. He sniffed and nodded before detaching their bodies.“What about Irvin and Abel?” He questioned as Ayaan was ready to climb up the tree.“They have a whole car to themselves. They can wait there.” He said before taking no time in climbing up the tree like a monkey. Zadkiel tried to follow his technique and when he was standing in the small cabin made of branches, he couldn’t believe what he just did. He climbed a tree like a monkey.“So, you’ve met your mother, I assume?”“I won’t call that a meeting. We talked once and then my dear mate locked her up in some cell.” He sighed sitting down along with Ayaan.“You mate… He’s one hell of a confused person. I knew he’d do anything to protect his father.”“In the start, he did try to protect his father’s secret but then he was actually trying to protect me. It’s just so complicated.” “I wanted to meet you because I wanted to tell you about who
The next morning when he woke up, he was already jumpy because he was going to see his mother. Irvin had woken him up and told him she was already out, waiting for him in the living room. He was nervous and everything around him seemed to have a little bit more impact on him than usual such as the clinking of the spoon with the bowl from which Irvin was eating his cereal.“She is downstairs?” He asked for the hundredth time and Irvin didn’t seem to mind answering again.“Yes, love. She is downstairs.”“You know I keep thinking I’m gonna say this and this and this to her and ask her about everything I want to know but I know that when I’ll be face to face with her, I’m just gonna glue my lips together.” He showed his concern.“Babe, it’s alright. You’re going to talk to your mother after 20 years. It’s normal. Just breathe in and take all the time you want. She isn’t going anywhere.” Irvin put a hand on Zadkiel’s shoulder.“Yeah. Too much time. I have all eternity. Which is scary
“Don’t you think I’ve put on some weight?” Zadkiel spoke as he was eyeing his reflection in the mirror, with his shirt lifted to his chest and his pants pushed down, past his waistline showing his happy trail.Irvin who was sitting on the bed was silently sneaking glances at Zadkiel for quite a time now since Zadkiel was invested in looking at his biceps, a little amount of fat on his thighs and now his waist.He chuckled and put aside the book he was pretending to read for a while and turned to face Zadkiel’s back.“Look, I’ve got meat on my body now.” He spoke turning his face to Irvin while his body faced the mirror and his shirt was still lifted now way above his chest.“Is that a good thing or a bad thing?” He asked him with a smile on his face. Zadkiel turned back to the mirror and looked at himself.“You tell me? Do I look fine?” He asked Irvin, looking at him through the mirror.Irvin stood up from the bed and made his way to Zadkiel. He stood behind him and wrapped his
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
