Three days had passed since Zadkiel heard that heated argument of Irvin with his dad about kicking him out. Since that day he hadn’t been able to find rest. He was always anxious that any moment Irvin is going to realize that Zadkiel is a threat and will kill him or worse, kick him out. He was living in fear. Again.When he was informed he was a werewolf, he was disappointed but he was satisfied as well. He was satisfied that after waiting for 20 years he finally had his answer for the question “who is he?” but now it’s blank again because he wasn’t a werewolf. He was different from them as well. He was back to square one.After that day, whenever Irvin tried to mark him, he made an excuse to avoid it because in his head, breaking up a marked bond would be more painful than breaking an unmarked bond and he knew one day Irvin would want to break it so, he didn’t want to make it painful for himself or Irvin.He was aware that if Irvin kicked him out, it wouldn’t be his fault because

“This is the place I took you the night you were in heat,” Irvin whispered, giving a light squeeze to Zadkiel’s hand.After their little picnic at the cottage where Irvin had locked Abel in, on the night he brought them here, they walked down to the river bank where they sat the night and talked calmly for the first time.Heavy clouds were covering the sky and a steady wind was blowing, making the trees dance and leaves float in freedom. The woods looked more beautiful in the dim light of the setting day and the clouds that could shower on them any time made it more excited.The river was enjoying itself, singing a song as it splashed across the big rocks in its way. The water was cold and clean but the sound it made was enough to soothe the nerves of any listener.“That seems like ages ago.” Zadkiel chuckled sitting on the rock where they sat before. Irvin plopped down beside him. He grabbed Zadkiel’s hand which made the younger turn his head to him.“Remember when you thought t

Irvin and Abel were outside while Dr Hill was running tests on Zadkiel. Irvin finally brought Zadkiel to the hospital for a proper checkup. He didn’t want to waste more time than he actually had. He was busy with some business deals bombarded on him by his father and he knew his father did it on purpose so Irvin wouldn’t get enough time for Zadkiel but today Irvin just straight up said no to his father to do this.Dr Hill exited the examination room with Zadkiel. He had unreadable expressions on his face which made Abel more scared while Irvin still waited for an answer.“Let’s take this to my office.” Dr Hill spoke. They all followed him to his office. Dr Hill took his time in taking off his coat and adjusting on his seat which scared Abel more.“Can you please reveal the big secret now? Is there any cure for him?” Abel finally ran out of patience and questioned. Dr Hill leaned forward on the desk between him and the three of them and clasped his hands on it.“Well, I can’t seem

“Did he tell you guys about me? I mean about my short life?” Zadkiel questioned Nora as they were sitting in the living room while everyone else was off to work, including Abel who refused the job Irvin had given him and found himself a new job.“He did,” Nora replied, turning the volume of the TV down and faced Zadkiel.“Then why did you let him do this to himself? Who was the girl he was marrying?” Zadkiel shifted in his seat.“Vanessa. She lost her alpha in a car accident.” Nora informed. “And Zadkiel, you need to stop speaking like you don’t matter. You’re Irvin’s mate. Even if you are dying, no one can separate you two. It’s against the law. Plus I wouldn’t do something like that ever.” Nora frowned at him.“Irvin told me, an omega without an alpha dies really quickly. Irvin was going to marry her which gave her hope to live but then he didn’t. That’s cruel you know.” Zadkiel gave her a look.“Do you know that omegas don’t want to live without their alpha that’s why they die

Zadkiel headed straight home after this. His legs were thinking with their own brain because the one in his skull didn’t even know what was happening, the one in his skull was numb to everything. He wasn’t crying. He wasn’t feeling any kind of emotion. He was just numb.He was sitting on the bed, gripping the sheets as his mind was playing the same picture on a slideshow in his brain. He didn’t want to see her face but that’s all he could see.“Zadkiel…” He heard Irvin’s voice as he entered the room but he didn’t look up because somehow the floor was more fascinating than any reality he was in.“Zadkiel, I’m talking to you, baby.” Irvin stood before him. He lifted his gaze from the floor and stared at his mate’s face.“Yeah?”Irvin gave him a soft smile and sat beside him. He caressed the balled fist of Zadkiel that was gripping the sheets, tightly. Zadkiel released the sheets and sighed, shaking his head.“I’m sorry.” He murmured.“Why are you sorry?” Irvin questioned, placing
