“I’m moving in with Sean tomorrow.” Abel tried to change the topic and lighten the mood.“Tomorrow?” “Yeah. Better get on the mission sooner than later.” Abel sighed. Zadkiel nodded, biting his lip.“Irvin is taking me to a witch today.” He informed Abel who looked at him in shock.“He agreed?”“Yeah”“He told me every witch asks for a price and it can be anything. Some ask for money while other demand a massacre.” Zadkiel said after a few moments of silence.“Are you thinking what I’m thinking?” Abel narrowed his eyes.“That Edmond did the genocide for a witch?” Zadkiel stared at him for confirmation and Abel nodded his head.“Yeah. That’s what came to my mind.”“What’s this one asking for?” Abel leaned against the wall of the cave.“Money.” After hearing that Abel went into deep thought and his expressions were enough to tell that.“Irvin said there are two types of witches. Good and bad. Bad ones ask for blood while good ones just ask for money.” Zadkiel put this infor
Another lost hope. Another door went unanswered. Another no for pleading to mercy. Another prayer gone rejected. What could he do now? Other than to accept his fate, succumb to it and die. He couldn’t fight more. Every time, he built another hope and enough strength to win the battle, the opponent won without even trying. He could only do it enough times before giving up.“Great! Party is over, guys. Let’s go home, Irvin.” He chuckled bitterly, jumping off the stretcher. Irvin sighed, feeling hopeless and drained.“I didn’t say we’re done,” Tia spoke, making Zadkiel come to a halt.“You said, curses are unbreakable.” Zadkiel gave her teary eyes.“I know what I said and it’s true but I can still cure you.” She stated.“How?”“Curses can’t be broken till the person is dead but they have loopholes. This witch knew what she was doing.” Tia spoke, making both of them confused.“What are you trying to say?” Irvin furrowed his eyebrows.“Irvin, Zadkiel isn’t just a werewolf. He is
The reason Zadkiel had asked for the time wasn’t that he didn’t feel ready. He didn’t trust Tia because she was Irvin’s witch and he had a lot to discuss with Abel before making a decision. He also wanted to see that file in Irvin’s office before making some witch stop his heart. For all he know, she could be lying about his immortality.The next day at training went as tiring as the first day and Zadkiel got hold of his mind-controlling thing. He was taking less time than usual to make Abel do whatever he wanted him to do. This time without him even realizing it as if he was caught in a trance.After the training he sat with Abel to discuss what he should do because Abel was the only person he could trust with closed eyes, everyone else seemed to have some hidden agenda behind their love for him.“To be honest, I don’t know what’s going around. I feel like she is lying because Irvin somehow convinced her to but then I remember the vision you got, the one where Edmond said you are
“Caddel! Our old buddies.” A man between his 50s, almost bald from the front excitedly exclaimed as he opened his arms wide open for a hug from his old pal, standing right before him.“Took you so long, Atlas.” The other man answered, walking straight into his arms and engulfing him in a hug.“We couldn’t take the shortcut. A pack from the Appalachians was staying in the way. We didn’t want to trespass and be a threat to them.” Atlas replied as he parted.“Well, words are going around that a peace pact is in its making.” The other man spoke.“Yeah, heard about it. Not sure if it’s true. But we all need some peace in our lives, don’t we, Aziel?” Atlas spoke as the two buddies walked side to side towards the house.“I’m down for some peace man. Since my son has finally found his mate, I want him to start his family in harmony.” Aziel sighed sitting on the couch after Atlas.“He found his mate? When? Who?” Atlas frowned.“He crossed the paths with her a few weeks ago. She is an an
Zadkiel was sitting on the bed, staring at the wall clock as it ticked the time. As the arm of the clock ticked the second, it was subtracted from Zadkiel’s short span of life that consisted of only a few hours now.Of course, by now he knew he was immortal and he wouldn’t die exactly but still, the idea of having his heart stopped even for few minutes wasn’t exactly as exciting as it was sounding.There was a knock on the door. He knew it wouldn’t be Irvin because Irvin wouldn’t knock before entering his own room so he sat up and let out a soft ‘come in’Abel stepped in giving him a tight-lipped smile before closing the door behind him. He silently made his way to Zadkiel and sat before him on the bed, fiddling with his fingers.“I couldn’t find peace knowing you are going to do it tomorrow.” He mumbled, looking down at his palms while he spoke. Zadkiel had never seen Abel so much sadness in his life before.“I’ll be fine, bro. I am immortal.” Zadkiel assured him, resting a hand
“Edmond, I won’t let you do that. Do you understand?!” Atlas spoke sternly, glaring at his son.“I’m the Alpha, Dad,” Edmond replied, huffing.“Really? Alpha’s job is to protect its pack not make enemies for it.” Atlas spat but ended up coughing due to his bad health. He grabbed a glass of water and gulped it down.“Don’t try to teach me, dad. You know how much powerful the Onyx Tails pack is right now. Their Luna is literally an angel and they are protected by a shield because of the magic in that forest. Nobody would know what they’re plotting against us ever.” Edmond spoke, sitting back on his chair.“You’re planning to steal their land because they can protect themselves? I know you want power and you never want to be vulnerable but this is not the way of doing it!” Edmond scoffed.“I have a son, Dad! I have to think about his secure future. I want to provide him with a place where he won’t fear anyone. I have to do this for him.” Edmond argued back.“You think you’re protec
Zadkiel and Irvin both were at Sean’s house to pick up Abel but it was one hell of a job because now they had to listen to Abel and Sean banter.“Well, I told him not to put his shoes in the upper portion of the closet!” Sean scoffed as he was wrapping Abel’s foot in the bandage. “Now look what you did to yourself!” He scolded Abel.“Umm… guys, I-” Zadkiel tried but was cut off by them for the millionth time.“You could’ve saved me by using your werewolf ass and grabbing my shoes for me,” Abel argued back.“Or you could’ve saved yourself by not putting the shoes on the upper most portion of the closet!” Sean spoke while tightly wrapping the bandage. Well, too tightly.“Ow!” Abel yelped in pain.“Hey, be careful!” Zadkiel hissed at Sean.“Sorry, Luna.” Sean apologized before turning to Abel to apologize.“Listen, I ca-” Zadkiel was cut off again.“First, you refuse to get my shoes for me because you were too busy doing absolutely nothing and when I hurt my foot by falling whil
“Caddel, we’ve been attacked on the borders. Two soldiers are down.” Uriel was informed in his office by his beta.“How do they know about us? No one can see us unless they’re invited, Alfred.” Uriel questioned, standing up from the chair.“They must have been invited in. We’re tracking their scent to find out who they actually are.” Alfred spoke as they both walked out of the office.As soon as they were outside the building a massive explosion boomed through the woods, making the ground shake under their feet.“WTF! What the hell is happening?!” Uriel shouted in panic and everyone started to come out of their houses.“Let me see…” Alfred ran away to look at the sight of the explosion. While Uriel connected with every member of his pack through the mind link. He told them all to hurry towards the headquarters.“Darling, what’s going on? I heard a blast?” Evangeline asked, walking fast towards Uriel with her swollen belly. Uriel instantly grabbed her hand without uttering a word
