Zadkiel was sitting on the bed, staring at the wall clock as it ticked the time. As the arm of the clock ticked the second, it was subtracted from Zadkiel’s short span of life that consisted of only a few hours now.

Of course, by now he knew he was immortal and he wouldn’t die exactly but still, the idea of having his heart stopped even for few minutes wasn’t exactly as exciting as it was sounding.

There was a knock on the door. He knew it wouldn’t be Irvin because Irvin wouldn’t knock before entering his own room so he sat up and let out a soft ‘come in’

Abel stepped in giving him a tight-lipped smile before closing the door behind him. He silently made his way to Zadkiel and sat before him on the bed, fiddling with his fingers.

“I couldn’t find peace knowing you are going to do it tomorrow.” He mumbled, looking down at his palms while he spoke. Zadkiel had never seen Abel so much sadness in his life before.

“I’ll be fine, bro. I am immortal.” Zadkiel assured him, resting a hand

    “Edmond, I won’t let you do that. Do you understand?!” Atlas spoke sternly, glaring at his son.“I’m the Alpha, Dad,” Edmond replied, huffing.“Really? Alpha’s job is to protect its pack not make enemies for it.” Atlas spat but ended up coughing due to his bad health. He grabbed a glass of water and gulped it down.“Don’t try to teach me, dad. You know how much powerful the Onyx Tails pack is right now. Their Luna is literally an angel and they are protected by a shield because of the magic in that forest. Nobody would know what they’re plotting against us ever.” Edmond spoke, sitting back on his chair.“You’re planning to steal their land because they can protect themselves? I know you want power and you never want to be vulnerable but this is not the way of doing it!” Edmond scoffed.“I have a son, Dad! I have to think about his secure future. I want to provide him with a place where he won’t fear anyone. I have to do this for him.” Edmond argued back.“You think you’re protec

  • The creature inside me   Three unspoken words

    Zadkiel and Irvin both were at Sean’s house to pick up Abel but it was one hell of a job because now they had to listen to Abel and Sean banter.“Well, I told him not to put his shoes in the upper portion of the closet!” Sean scoffed as he was wrapping Abel’s foot in the bandage. “Now look what you did to yourself!” He scolded Abel.“Umm… guys, I-” Zadkiel tried but was cut off by them for the millionth time.“You could’ve saved me by using your werewolf ass and grabbing my shoes for me,” Abel argued back.“Or you could’ve saved yourself by not putting the shoes on the upper most portion of the closet!” Sean spoke while tightly wrapping the bandage. Well, too tightly.“Ow!” Abel yelped in pain.“Hey, be careful!” Zadkiel hissed at Sean.“Sorry, Luna.” Sean apologized before turning to Abel to apologize.“Listen, I ca-” Zadkiel was cut off again.“First, you refuse to get my shoes for me because you were too busy doing absolutely nothing and when I hurt my foot by falling whil

    “Caddel, we’ve been attacked on the borders. Two soldiers are down.” Uriel was informed in his office by his beta.“How do they know about us? No one can see us unless they’re invited, Alfred.” Uriel questioned, standing up from the chair.“They must have been invited in. We’re tracking their scent to find out who they actually are.” Alfred spoke as they both walked out of the office.As soon as they were outside the building a massive explosion boomed through the woods, making the ground shake under their feet.“WTF! What the hell is happening?!” Uriel shouted in panic and everyone started to come out of their houses.“Let me see…” Alfred ran away to look at the sight of the explosion. While Uriel connected with every member of his pack through the mind link. He told them all to hurry towards the headquarters.“Darling, what’s going on? I heard a blast?” Evangeline asked, walking fast towards Uriel with her swollen belly. Uriel instantly grabbed her hand without uttering a word

    “You mean, you can kill him?” Edmond asked the lady sitting on the couch of his Alpha mansion.“I can curse him. That curse can kill him.” Rita, an evil witch, had one goal in her life. To be the leader of her coven and for that, she had to be the strongest of them.“What kind of a curse?” Edmond frowned.“A werewolf dies when it doesn’t turn. It’s a slow process but it’s death at the end of the day.” She informed, smirking at him.“You mean he can die?” Edmond’s eyes widened.“Of course, he can. You know the plus point?” She had this evil smirk on her face constantly. “If he won’t turn, he won’t get his powers. Just like a werewolf.” She wiggled her brows at him.“That’s so cool. Tell me what I have to do for this?” Edmond was so desperate that he forgot that this evil witch wouldn’t do anything without having an agenda behind it.“Sacrifice. One of yours and one of theirs.” She sat back, resting her back against the couch and judging how far he was ready to go.“I’ll do it!”

    A single movement of his finger and then still. He could hear someone talking but their voices were muffled. He couldn’t make words out of what was falling on his eardrums. He could feel the blood rushing to his limbs as he started feeling tingles in them. He was gaining back his strength and slowly his breaths started to become normal. It took every bit of strength in his body to open his eyes.He could see two figures hovering over him and staring at him but his vision was blurry to make out their face. He took his time, closed his eyes again. He took a deep breath, clenching and unclenching his fist before opening his eyes again.The figures above him were slowly becoming clear as they tried to talk to him. Slowly both their voices and their faces started to become clear. He tried to sit up and both of them helped him. His head spiralled for a second as he was sitting but then it soon went away. This time when he looked at the figure, their faces were clear.“Who are you? Where

    “I was wondering that if you guys heal on your own, why you would need a hospital or doctors,” Abel questioned Irvin.“Because sometimes we can’t heal or we take time to heal. Some wounds don’t fill on their own.” Irvin responded.“But medicines don’t work on you guys. What do you do?” The curious bean questioned again.“Why didn’t you ask these questions to your mate? I mean he was seriously injured. You should’ve asked him why he couldn’t heal on his own.” Irvin arched his eyebrow. Abel shrugged.“We have a lot of other things to do.” He smirked at Irvin, making him scrunch his nose.“I didn’t need to know that.” He said, gagging.“You act like, you don’t do this shit.” Abel relaxed back on his seat with a satisfied smirk on his face because he knew he was annoying Irvin.“Yeah but I don’t talk about it or brag about it.” Irvin rolled his eyes.“How would you when you’ve done it like once in your life.” Abel snickered, making Irvin turn to him.“Who said we’ve done it once?

    When they woke up from their small nap, it was already getting dark. The sun was ready to take some rest as the sky was turning a shade mix of orange and blue.It was Zadkiel who woke up first so he started petting Irvin’s wolf. Seconds later the wolf also woke up and nuzzled its face in Zadkiel’s neck, inhaling the scent. Zadkiel smiled and hugged the wolf.Suddenly the wolf pushed back and looked out of the opening of the cave. It didn’t take seconds for the wolf to turn into a human again.“It’s dark. Shit! I have to tell the pack about the Luna today.” Irvin spoke, looking for his clothes around while except the initial state of shock where he stared at Irvin, Zadkiel was doing pretty much everything to not look at Irvin. Irvin noticed it and smirked while putting on the clothes.“You do know that it’s normal in werewolves to be naked around each other. I mean we all have seen each other naked because when we turn back to our human form, we are completely naked.” Irvin said as

    Zadkiel opened the door and dashed in, even though he wasn’t a little bit excited about being the centre of the attention, he still knew how much Irvin wanted it and looking forward to it. He didn’t want to be the reason for the ceremony’s or whatever it was, delay. A suit covered in a zip lock bag was placed on the bed along with it a box of shoes was placed. Zadkiel smiled and walked to the bed to have a better look at it. It was a black blazer with a white buttoned-up t-shirt and grey dress pants. There was also a red tie with it, placed next to it. He went to lock the door so when he walks out of the bathroom in a towel, he wouldn’t face any embarrassing moment. He grabbed a towel from the cupboard and wasted no time going to the bathroom for a quick shower. When he was dressed, he felt like the tie didn’t suit him. Plus, it felt really formal so he removed it. He pulled out the shirt from the back of his pants and unbuttoned his blazer. He liked the way he looked in the clothe

    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

  • 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

    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
