Chapter 37
ZION
Tonight had to be the most awkward night of my entire existance. Everyone sat around the dinner table and I made sure that Alina sat beside me. I had my hand placed on her thigh the entire time, enjoying the sensation that coursed through us with the skin to skin contact. The entire time, every person seated there watched me with cautious eyes, almost as if I would lose my shit any second.
I tried my very best to stay calm but I felt like a mortal teenager who couldn't control his hormones. My jaw hurt from how hard I had been clenching it the entire night. With every breath I took, her sweet intoxicating scent flooded my nostrils. I felt like banging my head against a wall until I passed out. Suffering from a concussion sounded much better than doing this.
No one mentioned the elephant in the room and by that, I meant no one mentioned what happened outside. My mother was disheartened that my father

ALINAHe looked at me as if I had completely lost it. It wasn't like me to want to experiment in that manner with anyone even if that person was my sworn soulmate. But right now all I could think of was the feeling I felt each time he touched me. I couldn't help but wonder what if it went further, how would that feel?Maybe I felt that way because my birthday was coming up. Wasn't it ironic that I was born on the twenty-fifth of December? As far as I could tell, turning eighteen in the supernatural world really meant nothing. Eighteen was something humans made a big deal of whereas the only day that actually meant something for an angel was the day they stopped aging. That meant that they had reached full maturity and could conduct their duties with no problems.However, maybe the principal didn't apply to me. I was a mortal teenager with raging hormones and at the age of eighteen, nothing was stopping me;

ZIONI spent the week trying to get the perfect birthday present for Alina. I had never done anything remotely like this before so I had no idea what I should get her. The fact that people expected presents at Christmas didn't help. I wasn't sure if I should get her a Christmas and birthday gift all in one or get her two separate gifts.My family never celebrated the holidays but Grayson and Mabel were quite the festive couple. They had invited everyone over to their house to celebrate Alina turning eighteen and Alina hated it. She hated being fussed over. It was actually quite adorable the way she became flustered and the way her face would turn beat-red.Everyone would be gathering at her house at six this afternoon which left me little time to prepare. Wrapping gifts weren't my strong suit but I did my best, using more tape than actual wra

ZION"Mine next, mine next," Kendra gleefully chirped, clapping her hands in excitement once Alina was done unwrapping Sophia's gift.Sophia had gotten Alina a set of best friend necklaces. One for Alina, one for Sophia herself, and one for Kendra. It was cute and by the sparkle, in Alina's eyes, I knew she liked it. Alina picked up the small box that was wrapped in a candy cane gift wrap. She wasted no time in ripping the wrapping apart to reveal a tiny black box. Her grey orbs held curiosity as they shifted to where Kendra sat.Alina gasped when she finally opened the box, fear flashing in her eyes. In a split second the box had fallen to the floor, a blood-red crystal heart sliding out of it and spinning at Kendra's feet. I looked at everyone stuffed in the small sitting room. Max and Sophia were more worried about Alina, Kendra gnawed at her lip in anticipation, my parents stared at each other like fis

ZIONFor the past week, Alina, Kendra, and I had been meeting at my house to train. More precisely, we were trying to teach Kendra how to wield some sort of magic. With her being a half-blood, she should have been able to dabble with dark magic even in the slightest, however, she found it very difficult.Alina assumed it was because of the way she was born. A wingless half-blood who probably took more of the mortal gene than the supernatural one. Also, there were speculations that Alina could wield magic only because of who her father was. Being so gifted meant that his offspring would be gifted as well.We weren't exactly in contact with any more half-bloods to test our theories though so we just continued to play guessing games. With there being no literature about this sort of thing, it made things rather difficult. Angels weren't meant to procreate with mortals and I don't think the Creator even envisioned his following disobeying his orders.My mother tested out many things on me.

ZIONTen...The countdown had begun and we were just about to enter the hall when Alina tugged my arm. I turned to her, an eyebrow raised in question when she just shook her head. I could hear everyone shouting on the inside; most of them drunk out of their minds.Nine..."Wait, can't we just stay out here?" She asked with pursed lips.Eight...I deliberated her request for a quick second before coming to a conclusion, "It's way too cold. You're going to get sick Angel face."Seven..."I'll be fine. If we continue arguing like this we are going to start the New Year on a bad note so can you just listen to me and stay out here," she said those words so fast that I was surprised I even heard them.Six..."But I'm not arguing with you," I defended,
Zion Chapter 43
ZION "Again," my father yelled for the umpteenth time as I dodged one of his many attacks.I was exhausted from a long day of school. On top of that, we had been training since I came home and it was already dark out. Storm clouds were rolling in and I could already tell that tonight we would either have a blizzard or a major rainstorm.I prepared myself for the next attack that would come from both my parents. My mother flung a dagger in my direction while my father sent a purple ball of light spiraling toward me. The dagger barely grazed me, slicing off a few strands of my hair as I bent backward to dodge it. I wasn't as lucky with my father's powerful attack though. By the time I regained my balance, the ball had collided with my chest. A burning, searing sensation could be felt and for a second I couldn't breathe.My father definitely wasn't holding back, trying to push me to the edge

ZION"So, strange question especially since we all know I'm into girls, but if someone like us wanted to...I don't know...have children in the future, would that be possible?" Kendra asked in a hushed tone. We were knelt against my car, watching the student body scurry inside the school building to save them from the biting cold.I shrugged, "I'm not sure but say you do, your offspring would be a one-quarter dark angel and three-quarter mortal. If you look at it properly, the child really wouldn't be able to wield any sort of magic because of that. There's still the risk of it turning out to be some mutated breed. I think it's just safer not to take the chance.""So you don't want kids later in life?" Kendra quizzed incredulously. White smoke expelled from her mouth as she spoke. I had asked her to get inside but she refused. She managed to convince that her layers of clothing were more than enough to keep

ZION "I don't understand what the big deal is. Your mother has been working in hospitals for longer than you're living, she's seen many reapers, it never bothered you guys before so why would it now?" Alina asked lowly. We stood in one corner of the waiting room, my back pressed against the wall, and Alina standing directly in front of me."I never used my dark magic before so it was easy for my mother to blanket both hers and my energy, making it seem like we were human but now she can't blanket my energy signature. If that reaper senses me, senses how strong I am, nothing is stopping him from outting me," I explained.Alina let out an exasperated sigh, "To be honest, I don't even remember saying those things. This is so entirely messed up," her fingers began playing with the necklace Sophia had gotten her for her birthday, "Sophia doesn't deserve this, neither does Max. Can't your mother do something to
