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
“Why do you smell like me? We haven’t met in weeks. Why do you have my scent on you?” He questioned in a suspicious tone. Irvin felt sick to his stomach. He lost all his confidence to tell Zadkiel everything. He didn’t know if Zadkiel could handle that. He was afraid for not one but so many reasons.“No. I’m smelling like me.” Irvin instantly rejected the thought of Zadkiel.Zadkiel narrowed his eyes on Irvin and leaned in to sniff Irvin but Irvin took a step back. This made Zadkiel more confused as he looked up to meet Irvin’s nervous gaze.“What are you doing? There are people around.” Irvin hesitantly replied, pulling up the collar of his jacket so Zadkiel wouldn’t smell him again.“Irvin, you do know that I can smell you from right here as well, right?” Zadkiel gave him another suspicious glance.“I know,” Irvin murmured. Zadkiel was so confused. Not because Irvin was being strange but because why he was getting so bitchy about a scent.“No. Something is different about you.
Both Zadkiel and Irvin didn’t talk about that mind-controlling thing during their whole drive to Irvin’s place. They both sat on their seats comfortably and quietly. Zadkiel on the front passenger seat while Irvin on the driver seat. Abel was almost lying down and dozing off on the back seat.When Irvin turned his car to a road surrounded by woods, Zadkiel frowned and looked at him. For a second, his mind started making worst-case scenarios but then he shook his head, thinking this road must be heading to some town. But he didn’t get to know about it because before the road could end, Irvin pulled over the car and stopped the engine, in middle of nowhere.“Why we stopped?” He turned his head towards his mate, who was unbuckling his belt.“Because we’re home.” He answered, opening the door. Zadkiel looked outside the window, seeing no house in his sight. His frown deepened when he saw that there was no soul. It was way too quiet.“Is this a joke?” He asked Irvin who had walked arou
Zadkiel grabbed Abel’s hand and stared at his face for few seconds. He didn’t know what got over him and he closed his eyes, focusing on the pain he knew Abel would be going through. He just focused on the crease on his friend’s forehead and the yelp he’d let out when he’d wake up.Suddenly, a pain shot up through the hand he was holding Abel’s hand as if he could feel his best friend’s pain. He whimpered in agony but didn’t let go of his hand. He could feel the coursing through his veins and his heartbeat picked up the pace. He just stayed glued by his friend’s side, holding the position as if he was frozen there and took in all the pain. He had no idea how he was feeling his friend’s pain but he was glad that he could. That way they could be together in this.After few minutes, he couldn’t feel it anymore. He thought whatever the super ability he had, he didn’t have it anymore or maybe there was a glitch. He opened his eyes, revealing his hazel orbs from behind them and glanced at
Even when he struggled all his life to know the answer to the question of what made him different from others, why he was different and who he actually was, he never expected an answer so disappointing. He always thought something was very wrong with him and there was a demon inside him that controlled him and his actions but hearing that he was a werewolf was not what he wanted to hear.Not because he thought that the demon inside him was more powerful or that what he actually felt and dealt with was commanding and should’ve been called something more ferocious but because he knew exactly how ferocious werewolves were. He had seen few movies to know that they were not looked at as kind creatures. He was disappointed because even though he knew his demon was something wild, he still hoped that it would be something softer. Maybe an angry angel or something. But not a werewolf.“I can’t be.” Zadkiel chuckled, looking at Abel as if he had lost his mind and he was sure that he did beca
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
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
