“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
