Zadkiel heard loud ringing noise which he knew who set on his alarm clock. It was time to wake up though he didn’t want to because he was having a very beautiful dream. He sat up but grunted in pain when he realized his body was still sore because of the drink he had yesterday. He dragged himself out of bed because it was almost noon. He didn’t bother to take any medicine because he knew they wouldn’t do anything.

Zadkiel was aware that he had the super healing system, well super everything. He knew in no time he’d be feeling like any other human because of the drink in his system and the demon side of him wouldn’t make any appearance today. If he took the injection daily then the demon side would be at rest but then his body would feel pain.

He scurried into the empty stall of the bathroom, closed the toilet seat and sat on it. He needed a lot of water in his system to subside the dizziness. He got himself up and exited the stall only to go to take a shower.

When done with his morning chores, he was feeling very much alive again. He was energetic enough to play football so he headed out.

“Add me to the team, Toby.” He ran towards the boys standing in the circle. Toby looked up at him and smirked.

“He’s in my team.” Toby jumped up and dragged him beside him.

All of the boys knew Zad was exceptional in every game he played. But only Zad knew that wasn’t the case. His demonic side –as he referred it to- gave him super speed, super strength, super vision, super hearing and super reflexes.

“That’s not fair. You know he is too good at it.” The other team captain spoke.

“Calm down, Aaron. Last time you won because of me.” Zadkiel winked at him. Aaron groaned but didn’t continue the protest.

The teams were made in no time after that because Toby didn’t care who else would make it to his team. Zadkiel was enough for him. While Aaron made sure to have the best players on his team though he was also aware he’d lose.

Last five minutes of the first half, Toby’s team was winning 3-1. All credits to Zadkiel who even with the demon at rest was playing so well. But just when he was about to score his 4th goal, his body started feeling all tingly. His body hair stood up and his heartbeat increased. It was the same feeling that he felt during the dream this morning where he was in some meadow and a figure was standing far ahead.

He stopped, letting Aaron’s team take the ball from him. He just froze in his position. He never felt like this before. His hands were all fidgety and his palms were sweaty. His mouth ran dry.

Overall the feelings were new but euphoric….

“Zad?! Why’d you do that?” He was brought out of his trance when he heard Toby’s annoyed tone. Zadkiel turned his head towards him but before he could catch Toby’s expressions or could say anything to him, his eyes landed on the black car behind him. He didn’t know why but he found that car very fascinating.

He was never into cars so he didn’t understand what was about that car that was making him all fidgety and on edge.

“Zadkiel?!” Toby shook him and he snapped back into reality.

“What?!” He snapped at him. He just wanted to know who that car belonged to.

“You let them take the ball from you! You let them goal!” Toby was beyond pissed at him.

“I… I don’t know. I didn’t mean to.” Zadkiel spoke but his eyes were on the car that was parked in the parking area of the building. He had never seen that car on the premises of the building.

“What you looking at?” Toby frowned, turning his head to look back. He matched Zadkiel’s eye line and understood he was eyeing the car.

“Never seen a car before?” He asked, shaking his head at Zadkiel.

“Never seen this car before,” Zadkiel mumbled, still staring at the car. “Who do you think is the owner?” Zadkiel asked him.

“Seriously?” Toby gave him a look but Zadkiel ignored it. A different kind of scent was in the air, an intoxicating kind and he knew all of this had something to do with the owner of the car.

“What’s that smell?” He questioned Toby who furrowed, sniffing the air. He looked up at Zadkiel who was still staring at the car.

He looked down and held up his arm. He sniffed his armpits and gagged.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about? I’m not stinking so it must be you.” Toby was red with embarrassment. But he was playing football, running around the field could make you sweat a lot.

“No… not that… it’s kind of an alluring scent. It’s making me go fuzzy.” Zadkiel murmured now looking back at Toby who made a weird face thinking Zadkiel had gone mad.

“Well… I don’t know.” Toby shrugged, smelling himself again and again gagged. “We’re gonna smash them in the second half. We only have 5 minutes before it starts again so, take a rest and make up your mind for the game.” Toby patted Zadkiel who nodded his head still lost somewhere.

He stared at the car for few seconds before scolding himself for distracting from the game. He ran to the rest of his team and told Toby he was ready to play. He hadn’t taken his injection today because he thought the drink from yesterday would hold his other side controlled but now he knew he fucked up because he somehow knew what he was feeling had to do with the other side of him so he did what he had been doing for years. Ignored it.

“Welcome, Mr Ford.” Sister Ava welcomed the tall, brunette, curly-haired lad, dressed in a nice clean black suit.

“Thank you, sister.” He responded but he seemed lost somewhere.

“This way.” She said, pointing her hand but he wasn’t listening. The blond guy behind him nudged him in the back.

“Irvin, what’s wrong?” He questioned the lad, whispering in the curly-haired guy’s ear.

“Uh... nothing. Why don’t you park the car, Aiden?” Irvin said to him, turning around.

“The parking area is around the building, at the back side of it,” Ava told Aiden who nodded before taking keys from Irvin and rushing back to the black SUV.

“Let’s go.” She directed her words to the curly-haired guy who gave a smile to her and followed her inside the building.

“It’s a little strange to see you here instead of your father.” She tried to make a small conversation. Irvin’s mind was filled with an intoxicating scent. He knew what it was and he wanted nothing more than to follow that scent.

“We are very grateful to your father. All the donations from him keep this place running.” She spoke even though Irvin wasn’t listening to her anymore. He broke a sweat as his breathing raised.

“Right here.” She directed him. He gave a hesitant nod before following her inside. She sat on her chair around the desk while Irvin stayed opposite the side of the desk.

“Have a seat.” She said but when Irvin didn’t answer, she frowned.

“You alright, Mr Ford?” She questioned him, bringing him out of whatever trance he was in. The scent was becoming intolerable for him but he controlled himself.

“Yeah. I’m sorry.” He glided on the seat and rested his fidgeting hands in his lap.

“What would you like to have? Coffee or Tea?” She questioned Irvin, picking up the receiver.

“Tea would do.” The curly-haired guy responded. His mind was all lost in the scent and the euphoric feelings. His increased heartbeat was another distraction. He wasn’t listening to what the Sister was saying.

“Where’s Mr Joseph?” He inquired, trying to sound like he was interested in the conversation.

“He had a business out of town. He is on two days trip.” She answered him as Aiden knocked on the door before entering the office. She turned her attention to Aiden asking him what he would like to have while Irvin sniffed to inhale that intoxicating and alluring scent as much as he could.

“What’s the problem with you?” Aiden leaned to Irvin’s side to question him as sister Ava was busy ordering another cup of tea.

“My mate is around here somewhere,” Irvin whispered back as he clenched his fists on his lap to stop the tremoring.

“Here?!” Aiden whispered yelled at him. Irvin just gave a subtle nod.

“Mr Ford, with the help of your donation, we bought new sweaters and blankets for the kids.” Sister Ava spoke again with a light small smile on her face, trying her best to make a conversation.

“I’m glad to hear that. If you need to buy more, let us know.” Irvin replied as a ginger boy entered the room with two cups of tea on the tray. He placed them before Irvin and Aiden, gave them a small smile which they returned.

“Meet Sebastian. He is one of our bright boys here.” She introduced the ginger boy whose cheeks turned pink.

“Hi, Sebastian, I’m Irvin Ford.” The curly-haired lad extended his hand for the boy who shyly shook his hand.

“He loves to cook so we gave him the part-time job in here. After school, he works here.” She informed Irvin who nodded, smiling at the shy boy. He looked no more than 15 and it was strange to see a kid so young so much interested in the kitchen chores.

“Well, I hope you become a great chef,” Irvin said to the boy who mumbled a thank you before disappearing. He turned back to Sister Ava.

“If this boy wants to continue this, let him. I’ll pay all the expenses for him.” Irvin spoke, making her smile.

“I’m grateful but we can afford that.” She responded making Irvin smile.

“I want to. Spend your savings on some other kid, let me do something for this one.” Irvin insisted and she just gave him a grateful smile in return.

As the conversation continued, Irvin became more fidgety and Aiden felt almost sorry for him. Irvin’s legs were shaking as he could hear screams and whines inside him to just go and meet his mate.

“Can I use the bathroom please?” He finally gave in and decided to go search for his mate. He had no idea who it would be but he just wanted to see his mate. He had waited long enough.

“Yeah sure. It’s right down this hallway.” She said before turning her attention to Aiden.

Irvin got out of his chair, very calmly and walked to the door. The scent was messing up his mind now. He was whimpering inside. He exited through the door and closed his eyes to focus on just one thing.. The scent.
