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 he already told him that werewolves pick packs over themselves and he was expecting the same from Irvin.

“Zadkiel!” He snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Nora who was showing him, childhood pictures of Irvin.

“I’m sorry.” He mumbled, looking at the picture opened before him. He smiled looking at baby Irvin wrapped in a towel and sitting in the kitchen sink, grinning in the camera showing his two adorable dimples.

“He was adorable.” He commented looking down at the picture. Nora closed the album and put it aside. Zadkiel’s eyebrows dropped in confusion.

“Something is bothering you. I can smell it.” She spoke, scanning him through her eyes. He looked away in fear of getting caught.

“No. I’m fine.” He chuckled nervously, trying his best to hide his emotions.

“You’re new to this so you don’t know but let me inform you that werewolves have a different smell when they are in a different emotional state.” She looked at him, now the gaze was questioning.

“I… I just want to know who I am. Where I came from? Why am I different? Why there is no one like me?” He murmured, looking down at his fidgeting hands.

“Zadkiel, listen to me, son. You’re not different. You’re just beautifully unique and that’s why nobody is like you because everyone can’t be perfect, can they? Plus who cares where you came from, I’m just happy you ended up here, with me. I feel like I found my lost son. So, whenever you question who you are. Just know that you’re my son. You’re Zadkiel. You don’t need a history to define you.” Nora spoke politely, ruffling his hair in the end. Zadkiel’s heart swelled at these kind words and he gave her a big, broad smile.

“Thank you.”

“Give me a hug.” She ordered him. He chuckled before leaning in and circling his arms around her waist. He sighed in content and closed his eyes.

“Des, don’t do it!”

“You don’t know anything. That boy would be a threat to us. I need to finish him even if I have to finish the whole pack for it!”

“What if someone thinks like that about our Irvin?! Don’t do it! I beg you!”

A massive explosion, people screaming, fire, children crying, people running to save their lives, gun shots…

Zadkiel pushed away Nora completely in shock, panting. He didn’t know what he saw. He couldn’t even put it into words but whatever it was, it felt terrible. It was like Edmond Ford wanted to kill someone and Nora was trying to stop him. He couldn’t explain what happened after that because he could only see agony.

“Hey…” Nora placed her hand on his shoulder. Zadkiel kept taking long, deep breaths.

“Zadkiel… what happened?” She asked again. Zadkiel lifted his gaze.

“What was that?” He stared at her, still in a state of shock.

“What was what?” She questioned, frowning at him because she could swear she only hugged him. She had no idea what Zadkiel was talking about.

When Zadkiel saw that Nora had no idea what just happened, he thought to keep it to himself and find the answer on his own. He just found out another one of his powers and that was mind reading sort of thing. He didn’t want to tell that to anyone. He was sure that if he did, they’d fear him more and that’s what scared him the most.

“Uh, nothing. I actually felt like I was hugging my mother.” Zadkiel covered it with a smile on his face. Nora gave him a suspicious look but shrugged it off and return a smile.

“Okay. I should go. I need to take Abel to Sean. He’s going to tell Abel about the bond, today.” Zadkiel excused himself to run away from the awkward situation but he wasn’t lying. Sean was all healed. Thanks to Zadkiel who did it the next day he found out about it. Dr Hill was the one who was put in charge of Sean so no one would know that he was healed fully and was just acting to be injured.

He mentally prepared himself for days that his mate was human and he had to be with his mate no matter what. He just needed time to digest that. But today he was ready to tell Abel to see his reaction and he wasn’t looking forward to it.

“Let’s go. We gonna meet Sean.” Zadkiel patted Abel’s thigh as he was sprawled on the bed, watching TV with bored expressions as always.

“What made you think I want to see him?” Abel cocked his eyebrow at him before going back to focusing on TV with the same boring looks.

“I don’t understand why you even watch it when it bores you so much.” Zadkiel sighs, sitting beside him. Abel turned off the TV and sat up.

“Because I don’t know what to do among werewolves. I’m bored all the time so why not watch TV and get bored.” He stated as if he made all the sense. Zadkiel gave him a weird look.

“Just come along. I know it’s going to refresh your brain.” Zadkiel suggested again but this time with a pout on his lips and that Abel couldn’t ignore.

“Fine!” He huffed loudly, shuffling off the bed and stomping his feet to the bathroom to show Zadkiel he was doing this just for him. Zadkiel chuckled at his childish behaviour and waited for him outside his room.

Entering the hospital, Abel questioned himself again. Why he agreed to this? But it was too late so he just went along with it. He wouldn’t admit he was a little excited to see Sean as well because that would be against his Mount Everest size of an ego.

Zadkiel opened the door of Sean’s room for Abel who rolled his eyes in response but did enter the room. Zadkiel followed behind and shut the door. He pulled the curtains on.

“Wake up, you actor.” Zadkiel laughed. Sean sat up on the bed with a peace sign.

“Pay me for sleeping. I can do that 25/8.” He responded and then gave Abel a thumbs up.

“Good to see you all patched up and clean,” Abel commented. Sean shrugged, grabbing an apple and taking a bite.

“I’ll get something to eat,” Zadkiel said, giving an eye nod to Sean to talk to Abel meanwhile.

Zadkiel left before Abel could say he wanted to join him and not to be with a food eating panda. He sat on the visitor’s couch and glared at Sean who kept eating the apple, staring right back at him with a smirk.

“What?!” Finally, the patience of Abel exploded and he scoffed at Sean.

“You’re cute when you’re angry. Maybe I just underestimated you.” Sean spoke, still smirking at him.

“Excuse me?!” Abel crossed his arms, setting him on the hardest glare.

“I never wanted it to be human but I guess the Moon Goddess knows best.” He spoke as he grabbed another apple and threw it in Abel’s direction who caught it.

“Good reflexes,” Sean commented.

“What the hell are you saying?” Abel was more than confused. He was sure Sean had lost it.

“Last time when we met, I was the one saying that. Look how the tables have turned.” Sean looked so proud of himself for pissing off Abel. He turned to grab the bottle of water to drink but Abel wouldn’t sit back and just get irritated by a guy. Especially this guy.

“You know the water that we use today has passed through at least four humans and/or animals before us.” He stated as Sean was gulping down the water. He raised an eyebrow for Abel to explain.

“Just saying water is ancient and you’re basically drinker a purified version of urine.” He shrugged and Sean literally threw water out of his mouth in a whale style.

“What the fuck!” Sean shrieked.

“Just stating my Olaf facts.” Abel leaned back on the couch with a satisfied grin and closed his eyes.

“Wanna know one more fact, genius?” Sean spoke in an irritated tone, setting the bottle aside.

“Shoot it,” Abel replied still keeping his eyes closed and the smirk still preset on his face.

“We are mates.”
