“You’ve told him exactly what? Because you don’t even know who you are. I know. You’re a beast that we should’ve killed when we got to know about it but we didn’t.” Mark seethed through his teeth.
“You know what Father, Sister Hannah isn’t more loyal to you than to me. She told me that you did try to kill me when I was a kid because you feared me. But whatever you did, nothing helped. No poison worked.” Zadkiel wasn’t angry anymore.
“I also know that you prayed for me to die and when you got to know that I’m going to die in few years. You were very happy. You did try to consult doctors but not to save me but to show the world that you cared because you already knew no doctor would be able to help me. I never questioned you and your choices. I knew I deserved to die because I was a threat to everyone but this time I’m walking out of your life, without harming anyone in the process. Just let me go. I want to live the rest of the days with Irvin.” Zadkiel’s voice was wavering and he could feel all the sorrow inside him.
“You never told me who exactly I am so, I wouldn’t just find a solution to cure myself. To be honest, I never wanted to know about myself to save myself. I always wanted to know about myself so I could find a way to end it.”
“You know I tried to cut my wrist, tried to swallow a pill, injected poison but nothing seemed to work on me. That’s when I asked Sister Hannah to help. She said you tried years ago and failed. There’s no way I could end my life so, I just tried to control myself. I was as happier to hear the news of my upcoming death as you were. I promise I want to die but let me spend few days that I have left with who I want.” Zadkiel murmured, looking down at his hands. His eyes were back to hazel colour and his nails back to normal. His voice was more of a vulnerable boy than a beast.
“I can’t change who I am. I was born like this and I promise I didn’t ask to be born like this. I sometimes think that maybe that’s the reason my parents left me because they didn’t like who I am. But I swear if there was any way to change myself, I would’ve done it already.” Zadkiel sighed sadly. His heart was aching with all the pain he had endured.
“I promise, Irvin won’t tell a soul about this. I promise you won’t hear from me again. Just let me go, Father. I respect you a lot. You took me in when my parents left me on the streets and I would never be able to pay you for that. You took care of me even though you didn’t want to, you still raised me. I have so much respect for you and I don’t want to fight you. Just let me do this one last thing for myself.” Zadkiel pleaded to Mark, looking up at him and meeting his gaze.
“You’d be committing a sin, son.” Mark’s voice was filled with sadness as well.
“Then let me do it. At this point, my life is a horrible sin. I don’t think one sin can make much difference.” Zadkiel begged him with tear-filled eyes. He didn’t even try to argue with Mark.
“Go to your bed, Zadkiel,” Mark murmured, looking down at the magazine that was on his desk. Zadkiel sucked a breath and nodded before running back to his bed.

“Irvin, wake up!” Irvin stirred in his sleep, trying to block the voice and bangs on the door. He hugged the blanket and shut his eyes tightly.
“Irvin! It’s important!” He heard the voice again but this time with so much desperation.
Irvin fluttered his eyes open, focusing on the words that the person outside the room was saying. He sat up and tried to think about where he actually was or if he was still on the same planet that he slept on.
“Alpha, open up!” Another bang on the door, made him jump out of the bed. He hurried towards the door and opened it.
“What is it, Aiden?” He yawned, covering his mouth with the back of his hand.
“The team we sent to the Appalachians, they were attacked,” Aiden informed him. Irvin’s eyes widened and all the sleep left in his eyes vanished.
“What? But who attacked?” Irvin asked, going back into his room to grab on a shirt to put on.
“Another pack,” Aiden answered.
“Do we have any causalities?” He put on the shirt, grabbed his phone and headed towards the conference room immediately. Aiden followed him behind.
“Yes. Not specified yet. We’re not in contact with anyone. Sean just called me to let me know but now I can’t seem to contact him anymore.” Aiden spoke.
Irvin entered the conference room where everyone else was already seated. His father was sitting in the corner of the room. He seemed lost in his thoughts. Everyone stood up when Irvin entered except for his father. Irvin sat on his chair, looked around the room.
“Who’s in command after Sean?” He asked Aiden who was rolling the map on the table.
“It’s Ron.” He pointed to the guy, eyes on the map.
“I want you to prepare the team of best warriors. We’re heading to the Appalachians tomorrow.” Irvin commanded. Ron headed out of the room right away.
“Do you know who attacked us?” He questioned Aiden who shook his head.
“I mean what century are we living in? I thought we stopped attacking other packs decades ago. I thought now we were living in harmony.” Irvin never thought that any pack would do anything like that because every enemy called a truce years ago.
“They live in the Appalachians for a reason.” One of the people in the room commented. Irvin rubbed his temples leaning back on the chair. His eyes landed on his father who seemed pretty silent during all of this.
“Dad, why aren’t you saying anything?” Irvin caught his attention. Though Edmond was looking at Irvin, he seemed lost.
“Tell me where were they attacked?” Edmond averted his eyes at Aiden who was placing flags on the map.
“So, according to my calculations, they must not have gone too far up the mountain considering they just landed in states yesterday. They must be somewhere here.” Aiden placed the flag on the map.
“There are three packs that are nearby. Alphas of these packs also signed the truce pact. There are ocean howl pack, spirit walker pack and onyx tails pack. These three packs surround the area where I assume our warriors were attacked. I’m not sure if these are the pack who actually attacked.” Aiden explained, placing the flags on the map at each pack’s location.
“If onyx tails pack is still a thing, I’m putting my bets on it.” Edmond eyed the flag that was on the onyx tails pack.
“Dad, do you know something?” Irvin examined his father’s features.
“Those are some demons, my son. Had crossed paths with them once or twice in my life.” Edmond spoke, venom dripping from his words.
“Well, let’s go there and find out. We’re leaving in two hours. Aiden, you’re coming with me.” Irvin ordered.
“If all of them are dead, then what’s the point?” A person spoke from the other end of the table.
“We are going to rescue anyone we can. We were invited there by Silver bow back, we didn’t trespass so whoever attacked is going to be held accountable.” Irvin stood up and so did everyone else in the room.
“I’ll see you in two hours by the cars. Aiden, meet me in my room.” Irvin uttered before marching out of the room.
Irvin was grabbing the essentials from his room and packing them up in a small backpack. After all, once they landed in America, they had to go on hiking. He didn’t want a burden on himself.
“Irvin, it’s gonna take weeks to come back. Are you sure you don’t want to inform your mate?” Aiden asked the question for 3rd time in the past twenty minutes.
“Aiden, I’ll let him know the reason for the delay once I’m back,” Irvin answered the same.
“But why? Why don’t you want to inform him beforehand? At least he’d be prepared for any outcome.” Aiden reasoned. Irvin turned around to face him.
“If I come back safe and sound, I’ll be giving him anxiety for no reason. That’s why I’m not telling him.” Irvin turned back to pack up.
“What if you don’t?” Aiden gave him an angry look. Irvin froze.
“Then it’s better for him to think that his alpha ditched him than to know that he died.” He stated in a monotone voice.
“That’s cruel.” Aiden spat.
“Cruel would be him mourning over me when he should live the rest of his days smiling with his friends.” Irvin was determined.
“I’ve to go see mom, now. I’ll meet you by the car in 30 minutes.” Irvin patted Aiden’s shoulder before walking out of the room.
Aiden knew that Irvin was doing Zadkiel a favour in a way because the most painful news to omega is that his alpha died. It’s even more painful than rejection. So, he decided not to argue over it. He just hoped that every one of them gets out of the situation without getting harmed and no one has to die in this.
