Zadkiel’s heat was over and he was now feeling more relaxed than ever. He started helping Hannah with accounts. He was trying to fully indulge himself in his previous routine. He liked himself better when he hadn’t met Irvin because then the only thing he had on his mind was what would he be doing when death will knock at his door but recently he had only one thought in his mind.

Has Irvin already rejected him?

Though a voice in his brain said that he hadn’t because he somehow knew that he’d feel the breaking of the bond. He couldn’t believe that he was actually believing the bond shit.

Well, in all the things that were happening, what Irvin had told him felt very less strange and made a lot of sense. Though he still didn’t understand that if Irvin was just like him, why wasn’t he dying like Zadkiel? He wasn’t complaining but he was confused because he knew that whatever he was going through had something to do with his demonic side.

Zadkiel was doing the accounts work in Hannah’s office as she was out doing something else. He was looking at the old entries of the Ford family and they had invested pretty much into this orphanage. He smiled at the last entry that was under the name of Irvin Ford. A number was scribbled down with his name. He quickly grabbed a notepad and jolted that number down on it. He tore the paper, folded it and put it in his pocket.

“Psst… Zad!” He heard someone calling him in a whisper. He turned his head around and saw Cole peeking his head from the little gap between the door and the doorframe.

“What?” Zadkiel asked, questioning himself mentally ‘why is he hiding and who is he hiding from?’

“A six-year-old is crying because his finger is injured. He wants to eat a cream pastry.” Cole whispered. Zadkiel then understood that it was another stealing mission.

“Okay. I’ll be there in a blink.” He answered in his normal voice, still not understanding why Cole was whispering.

When Cole left, Zadkiel looked at the register and then at the computer screen to see if he had entered the last entry before shutting it off. He got up and sneaked out of the room to the pantry.

Cole, Toby and Finn were already waiting for him there. The room was as usual locked. He tiptoed towards them and pushed them away from the door to break the lock.

He always made it seem like he knew how to unlock a door but he never told them that he actually broke all those locks to get in because if he did, there would be questions about his strength which was already not hidden very much.

After breaking the door, he stepped in and searched for the pastries. He saw a jar, though they were not cream pastries, he thought they would do it. He grabbed the jar, passed it to Toby before shutting the door.

Toby and Finn ran right away with the jar to the kid while Cole stayed. Zadkiel put the broken lock back on the door and turned around to find Cole staring at him.

“What are you still doing here?” He asked Cole who chuckled lightly.

“You always break the lock. How are you so powerful? Aren’t you like dying from some hideous disease?” He questioned Zadkiel. He didn’t want it to sound rude but it did come out as rude.

“Don’t know about hideous but yeah unidentified.” Zadkiel didn’t try to deny that he in fact break the locks.

“I’m sorry. I just… Zadkiel there is something seriously wrong with you or there’s something absolutely right with you because you make me scared sometimes.” Cole spoke, making Zadkiel laugh.

“That feels good to hear.” Zadkiel didn’t comment on that and laughed it off.

“You’re a person with a good heart. That’s all that matters in the end so, if you need anything from me, just ask.” He gave him a pat on the shoulder and was about to leave when Zadkiel remembered something.

“Your duty is on the phones, right?” He asked him. Cole gave a nod.

“Well, I want to make a call but I don’t want anyone to find out about it.” He requested.

“Sure but you’ll have to miss lunch for that because that’s the only time when I’m alone in the office,” Cole informed him

“Skipping a meal won’t kill me,” Zadkiel assured him. Cole smiled.

“Meet me in the office at 2 pm.” He told Zadkiel and turned around to leave but then faced Zadkiel with a frown.

“Who do you want to call?”

“Alpha.” Zadkiel winked at him and walked away from him, leaving him to confuse.

Exactly at 2 pm, Zadkiel was right outside the office of Cole. He gave a light knock before opening the door, only to find Cole already talking to someone on the phone. Cole pointed to the seat for Zadkiel and Zadkiel flopped down on it.

“I’ll let Father know about it. Thank you, Mr Tucker.” He politely spoke on the phone with a sugarcoated voice and then put back the receiver of the phone.

“Do you have the number you wanna call or do I have to find it for you?” Cole asked Zadkiel, already reaching for the phone directory in case Zadkiel asked him for the number.

“Oh, no. I have it. Here.” He handed the folded paper in his hand to Cole who started dialling the number.

“Whose number is this?” Cole asked him as he dialled the number.

“Irvin Ford,” Zadkiel answered but Cole held his comment back as a voice boomed through speakers. He lifted the earphone and handed it to Zadkiel. Zadkiel placed it on his ear and Irvin’s voice filled his ear, increasing his heartbeat.

“Hey… it’s me. Zadkiel.” Zadkiel murmured.

“Yeah? What do you want?” Irvin asked in a cold tone. Zadkiel looked at Cole who was staring at him. Zadkiel raised his eyebrows at him and Cole looked away “I’ll wait outside.”

“Irvin, I’m sorry but I had to say that.” Zadkiel desperately stated when Cole was out of the room.

“I don’t care, Zadkiel. I’m busy with my wedding planning. Now I’d appreciate it if you don’t call me again.” And with that Irvin hung up the call.

Zadkiel didn’t want to marry Irvin. He hadn’t even thought about it. He hadn’t even thought they were anything other than mates. Just that.

But hearing that Irvin was getting married to someone else hurt him so much that tears started flowing down from his eyes. He could hear screams inside him and he could feel his heart closing itself in a jar.

Now it feels like he has broken the bond…

With that thought, Zadkiel put down the receiver and cried, covering his face with his hands to muffle his sobs. He couldn’t believe that he was crying because Irvin planning his wedding with someone because they weren’t even a thing.

“Fuck!” He muttered before getting up and exiting the room. Cole saw him leaving in hurry and didn’t question, thinking it’d be too personal to ask and just returned to his office.

Zadkiel headed directly to Mark’s office and without even asking, opened the door and entered. Mark’s head shot up and an expression of anger surfaced on his face.

“What is this behaviour, Zadkiel?!” He sternly asked, standing up but Zadkiel was lost in mind. His other part of mind had taken over because it was beyond hurt.

“I want you to call Edmond Ford and tell him that I’ve accepted their offer,” Zadkiel demanded.

“What is wrong with you? I’m not saying that.” Mark sat back in his chair and continued what he was doing.

“I wasn’t asking, Father!” Zadkiel growled and the hell… it was scary as fuck. Mark flinched and his face turned white into pure fear.

“Call him!” Zadkiel smashed his hands on the table, staring directly at Mark.

“You need to understand that I can’t,” Mark spoke, still very much calmly.

“I said call him!” Zadkiel’s growl was so loud this time that it vibrated throughout the room and attracted the attention of some people outside the office. When those people entered the office to see what was happening, Mark shook his head lightly for them to get out.

“Okay… I’m calling. Please sit down.” Mark tried to calm Zadkiel down but Zadkiel was like a time bomb, ready to explode any second.

“Zadkiel, I want you to think about it one more time. I don’t think it’s the righ-” But Zadkiel didn’t let him finish as he grabbed the glass off the table and smashed it on the floor.

“CALL HIM!” He screamed, making Mark flinch again.

“Zadkiel…” Zadkiel heard Abel’s voice and turned around to face him. Abel’s eyes widened to see what Zadkiel looked like. Golden eyes.

“What are you doing?” He questioned the outraged beast, stepping closer. Zadkiel didn’t respond and looked at Abel as if he was trying to recognize the person talking to him.

“Let’s go to bed. Whatever it is. We can work out of it.” Abel spoke so softly and took one step at a time towards his friend.

He extended his hand for Zadkiel to take. Zadkiel stared at it for a second before lightly touching Abel’s finger as if testing something. Then he held his hand and closed his eyes, taking a deep breath. Abel stared at the black nails of Zadkiel.

“I’m sorry,” Zadkiel murmured, panting heavily.

“It’s fine. Let’s go.” Abel politely said and Zadkiel gave a nod. Abel led his friend out of the office to his bed and through the whole walk, Zadkiel had his eyes closed.

Once they were on the bed, Zadkiel opened his eyes again, still golden and looked at Abel questioning. Abel understood what Zadkiel was asking.

“Sister Hannah informed me that she saw you heading to Father’s office in a rage.”

Zadkiel gave a nod and closed his eyes again.

“Your eyes look beautiful.” Abel complimented, still holding Zadkiel’s hand.

Zadkiel opened his eyes again, still glowing and looking so pretty but gradually tears started filling in them.

“Hey…” Abel scooted closer. Zadkiel pulled Abel in a close hug and cried on his shoulder loudly. His eyes turned back to their hazel colour and his nails disappeared. His wailing sound was now more sounding like the broken sobs of a human.

“What happened, bro?” Abel murmured a question though he didn’t need an answer to comfort his best friend, his best friend did answer through a broken sob.

“He broke the bond.”
