“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
“You’ve told him exactly what? Because you don’t even know who you are. I know. You’re a beast that we should’ve killed when we got to know about it but we didn’t.” Mark seethed through his teeth.“You know what Father, Sister Hannah isn’t more loyal to you than to me. She told me that you did try to kill me when I was a kid because you feared me. But whatever you did, nothing helped. No poison worked.” Zadkiel wasn’t angry anymore. “I also know that you prayed for me to die and when you got to know that I’m going to die in few years. You were very happy. You did try to consult doctors but not to save me but to show the world that you cared because you already knew no doctor would be able to help me. I never questioned you and your choices. I knew I deserved to die because I was a threat to everyone but this time I’m walking out of your life, without harming anyone in the process. Just let me go. I want to live the rest of the days with Irvin.” Zadkiel’s voice was wavering and he c
It had already been 4 weeks and Irvin still hadn’t contacted Zadkiel. Mark was also ready to let Zadkiel live the rest of his life like he wanted to. He also tried to contact Irvin but his phone was always out of reach. There was no sign of him. He offered Zadkiel to contact his father to ask about Irvin but Zadkiel’s ego didn’t let him do this. He said that if Irvin doesn’t want to be found then he wouldn’t try because he wasn’t that desperate.He was sitting behind the bleachers thinking about the reasons that could’ve ended up in Irvin ditching him but he could come up with none. He wouldn’t admit to anyone that he was missing his mate and he could feel the pain of being rejected in his entire body.“I’ve been looking for you for an hour now.” Abel’s voice pulled him out of the thoughts.“Maybe I didn’t want to be found,” Zadkiel murmured, still gazing at the grass and playing with it.“Why?” Abel plopped down beside him.“Last night I had a very weird dream.” The raven-haired
His eyes widened when he realized what that could mean but he still wasn’t sure because as the description went, it could be used for anything. He wanted to do a little more research.He opened the pictures of the plant. It was a very beautiful purplish-blue flower plant. He wasn’t satisfied so he searched for its uses.It is a strong, fast-acting poison that causes serious side effects; vomiting, pupil dilation, weakness, nausea, sweating, breathing and heat problems and sometimes death. Application of Aconite to the skin is UNSAFE. Only 5 milligrams of aconitine—the weight of a heavy sesame seed—can kill an adult.So, it was harmful to humans, he concluded. But it didn’t say anything about a person like Zadkiel. So, he kept reading…Homoeopaths use aconite to treat restlessness, anxiety and fear. Though it can cause acute sudden fever if you’re exposed to dry, cold weather or extremely hot weather. Other symptoms are tingling, numbness and coldness, influenza with congestion and
Zadkiel wriggled in his sheets, disturbed the chattering of boys. He fluttered his eyes open and turned around to see the time. It was almost 8:30 which meant only half an hour for him to get to the breakfast table before they start collecting the dishes. But then he frowned thinking why Abel didn’t wake him up early. Not that he would go before everyone else considering he had to use the bathroom alone because of the injection. But still, Abel always woke him up at 7:30 am just to have a conversation before breakfast. The only exceptions were when Zadkiel woke up early himself or he didn’t wake up at all till noon.He turned to his side and glanced at Abel’s bed which was empty. This was a little strange because even if Abel doesn’t wake him up, he waits for Zadkiel to wake up till breakfast time is over. If Zadkiel didn’t make it to the breakfast table, Abel wouldn’t eat his breakfast as well.He thought maybe the lad was in the bathroom so, he slipped under his sheets, putting a
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
