Both Zadkiel and Irvin didn’t talk about that mind-controlling thing during their whole drive to Irvin’s place. They both sat on their seats comfortably and quietly. Zadkiel on the front passenger seat while Irvin on the driver seat. Abel was almost lying down and dozing off on the back seat.

When Irvin turned his car to a road surrounded by woods, Zadkiel frowned and looked at him. For a second, his mind started making worst-case scenarios but then he shook his head, thinking this road must be heading to some town. But he didn’t get to know about it because before the road could end, Irvin pulled over the car and stopped the engine, in middle of nowhere.

“Why we stopped?” He turned his head towards his mate, who was unbuckling his belt.

“Because we’re home.” He answered, opening the door. Zadkiel looked outside the window, seeing no house in his sight. His frown deepened when he saw that there was no soul. It was way too quiet.

“Is this a joke?” He asked Irvin who had walked around the car to open the door for Zadkiel.

“Why would it be a joke?” He opened the door. Zadkiel unbuckled the belt before getting out of the car. His eyes kept searching for a single human to show up. He was already regretting his decision. He even brought his friend into this.

“Irvin, seriously where are we?” Zadkiel questioned, shutting the door behind him.

“Home.” Irvin gave him a look and then walked to the back seat to wake up Abel. He turned around after opening the door “You’ll understand.” He assured him before pulling out Abel by his legs. The boy shrieked as he woke up, thinking he was being abducted.

“Is this thing really your mate, Zadkiel?” He huffed, sitting up and getting out of the car. Irvin just chuckled in response as he made his way to Zadkiel.

“Shall we?” He gestured through his hand for Zadkiel to walk.

Zadkiel thought, what’s the worst that could happen? They’d kill him? He didn’t care. So, he started moving his legs. Abel lazily followed behind them, both hands in pocket. He didn’t even question the place where they stopped for once and Zadkiel was seriously concerned if his friend was alright. He looked back to take a glimpse of him. Abel was yawning with his mouth wide open. He caught Zadkiel’s glance and arched his eyebrows. Zadkiel shook his head and turned his head around.

As they walked further into the woods, Zadkiel could clearly see a city living in the woods. Lines of beautiful, big houses stretched as far as Zadkiel’s sight could go. Paved paths for vehicles. Every house had its own driveway and garage. There were street lights at a fair distance to illuminate the dark paths in the night, though they were off right now.

“C’mon.” Irvin pressed his hand softly on Zadkiel’s back.

Zadkiel was surprised. He only saw this type of shit in movies where they had a whole city hidden in the woods but it was real. Right before his eyes and he couldn’t take his eyes off that beauty.

He slowly moved to wherever Irvin was guiding him as he was looking around the whole place with a startled smile on his lips. His eyes held admiration, glinting.

When they were about to cross the road, a sped-up car stopped right before them, making them come to an abrupt halt. Zadkiel looked up at the driver in confusion and remembered it was the same guy he saw with Irvin, the first time they met.

He was dressed in his casual clothes, unlike the time when Zadkiel saw him first. He was wearing black jeans with a white round neck. A bandana was loosely wrapped around his neck and an oversized jacked was covering him, though it was open from the front.

“Welcome, Mr Zadkiel.” He spoke, exiting his car. Irvin folded his arms and gave him an arched eyebrow.

“Well, I just came back from work. Didn’t want to miss Luna’s arrival.” The blond guy spoke, shutting the car door with a kick.

“Luna?” Zadkiel looked up at Irvin in confusion. Irvin opened his mouth to answer but Abel beat him to that.

“Alpha’s mate.” He yawned, opening his mouth wide. Zadkiel looked away, scrunching his nose.

“How do you know?” Zadkiel questioned Abel, who didn’t answer but placed his head on Zadkiel’s shoulder and closed his eyes. Irvin pulled up his head from Zadkiel’s shoulder and straightened him.

“Abel, how do you know?” He repeated his question to his best friend. Irvin was curious to know as well.

“I did a research last night.” He mumbled and again threw his head on Zadkiel’s shoulder. Irvin frowned and pushed him back. He stumbled but attained his balance before he could fall on his ass.

“Irvin!” Zadkiel scolded him. Irvin just rolled his eyes, looking away. Irvin introduced the blond-haired guy, Aiden to Zadkiel and they shook hands.

“Do you guys have a bed?” Abel questioned, murmuring with a half-dead mind.

“Yes.” Aiden was the one to answer. He then looked at Irvin raising his eyebrow for asking the unspoken question ‘is this Sean’s mate?’

Irvin gave a nod and Aiden looked at Abel from head to toe. It wasn’t like he didn’t like Abel. It’s just he was never a big fan of humans. He didn’t like the way they did absolutely everything.

“Let’s go.” Irvin guided Zadkiel as he laid his hand on the lower back of Zadkiel.

“You have to explain to me everything. I don’t understand this all.” Zadkiel referred to the Luna/Alpha thing that Abel mentioned. Irvin gave him a nod, choosing to keep his mouth shut.

“By the way, what about your car?” Zadkiel questioned as they were walking down the paved path, passing almost similar looking houses.

“He purposely took that route because he wanted to scare you while there’s another road that leads straight to his house. How do you think I drove in through the woods? He’s just so… I don’t know what to say.” Aiden answered the question, shaking his head at Irvin’s childish behaviour. Zadkiel looked up at Irvin and he was smirking, looking ahead. He elbowed Irvin in the stomach for almost giving him a heart attack.

As they were walking, Zadkiel’s eyes landed on the house that was bigger than the rest of the houses and looked so elegant. The house was so well designed and was painted in sophisticated colours. It looked graceful as if it was a palace of some graceful king. He couldn’t take his eyes off the house.

The house was just aesthetically humongous. It wasn’t even a house. It was a mansion. No, it was a palace. Just a modern one, not the ones you see in princess movies or in historical documentaries of a kingdom.

“Why is that one different?” He asked, pointing to that house as they were walking in the same direction.

“That’s alpha’s house. That’s why.” Again, Aiden replied. Irvin deadpanned at him and he shrugged in response.

“Your house?” He turned his head to Irvin, arching an eyebrow.

“Actually, Alpha is like a king so, they must have palaces, right?” Again, Aiden spoke. Irvin rolled his eyes, huffing.

“Shut up, please?” He put it out as a question, glaring at Aiden who raised his hands in the air as if surrendering.

“Wait… Alpha of the pack… you mean like werewolf shit?” Zadkiel frowned at Irvin, waiting for him to answer.

“Yeah. Actually, we-” Irvin was cut off by Abel literally falling on the ground with a loud thud.

“Oh my god!” Zadkiel instantly squatted down beside him and pulled him on his lap. In seconds, Zadkiel’s pants started turning red where Abel’s head touched.

“He’s bleeding!” Zadkiel panicked, looking up at Irvin. Irvin kneeled down and easily picked up Abel in his arms while Aiden wrapped his bandana around his head to stop the bleeding. Everything happened so fast that Zadkiel was sure that they had gone through this before or something similar.

“Aiden, lead Zadkiel inside. I’ll take him to the doctor.” Irvin spoke, already on his feet to sprint off.

“No, I’m not leaving my friend’s side.” Zadkiel instantly dismissed that order. Irvin opened his mouth to argue but Zadkiel gave him a glare which made him shut his mouth. They both sprinted off to the medics at their supernatural speed.

Zadkiel couldn’t understand how his best friend hit his head so hard that it needed stitches but here they were, waiting for Abel to get stitched up as he was laid on the bed unconscious. He eyed the doctor who had a different way of working because he wasn’t using bottled meds to soothe the pain but the natural herbs.

Irvin was right beside him, seated on his chair as his hand was rested on Zadkiel’s knee in a reassuring gesture that his best friend would be fine. Zadkiel knew that. He knew Abel wouldn’t die of a minor injury to the head. Apart from the initial panic, he was pretty relaxed. He just didn’t want to leave his best friend alone in a clinic where he knew nobody.

“He’s as good as new.” The medic guy spoke as he was done with the stitches. He started collecting the stuff around him while the doctor took a look at Abel and gave him some serum he was making with the help of herbs.

“How long he’ll stay unconscious, Dr Hill?” Irvin was the one to question as the doctor was done.

“It’s going to take few hours, Alpha. These humans are really weak.” His chuckle contained pity. Zadkiel frowned and stood up.

“Why you guys think of humans as some weak creatures?” He rudely asked, folding his arms and glaring at the doctor.

“Because they are weak. They are pathetic.” Dr Hill answered, shrugging. He talked with so much disgust in his voice that showed how much he hated humans.

“Well, human’s saved me when my super-weird parents like me threw me on the streets. They fed me, kept me alive and gave me shelter. They made me their friend and loved me. They are my saviour. So, watch your mouth.” He talked back with so much calmness in his tone but he was stern and very clear with his words.

“Relax, Zadkiel.” Irvin put a hand on Zadkiel’s shoulder but that made Zadkiel snappish as he turned around furiously, shrugging off Irvin’s hand.

“That guy on the bed is my best friend! He is human and I’m sorry that I felt the need to protect his self-respect!” He scowled at Irvin, narrowing his eyes at his mate.

“Whoa! Who is this guy?” Dr Hill replied before Irvin could even process what happened and gave Zadkiel a weird head to toe look. “Do you even know who you’re talking to, little boy?” He hissed at him in anger but of course, just like it was some kind of rule that the person addressed wouldn’t reply, happened.

“Do you know who you’re talking to, Dr Hill?” Irvin seethed through his teeth, glaring at the man.

“Please, leave me alone with my friend.” Zadkiel didn’t want to participate in the argument anymore. His friend was hurt and he just wanted to be with him.

“Okay, but do you need anything to eat?” Irvin asked Zadkiel, giving up the idea of arguing with Dr Hill.

“No. Just leave,” Zadkiel murmured, moving past him and sat beside his friend.. Irvin sighed and gestured doctor to leave before leaving Zadkiel to his best friend himself.
