Chapter 29 - Stroll Through Pack Land

As soon as they were done with the breakfast, Irvin offered Zadkiel to take him out. He wanted to show Zadkiel around. He wanted to make him feel like he’s home. He wanted him to blend in with all the people.

“Let me ask Abel,” Zadkiel replied. Irvin didn’t say anything though he wanted to be alone with Zadkiel but guess he had to tolerate his friend every time.

Zadkiel sprinted off to Abel’s room and knocked. He never had been so happy and that could be seen in the way he was bouncing in his position. There was a different kind of happiness bubbling inside him because for the first time he and the creature inside him were both agreeing on similar things. They both wanted Irvin.

Abel opened the door and Zadkiel didn’t wait to push him aside and walk-in. He stood before Abel and closed the door.

“C’mon we’re going out.” He informed him but instead of jumping like Zadkiel, Abel cocked his eyebrow.

“Define ‘we’?” He folded his arms on his chest, looking at him pointedly. Zadkiel tsked.

“Irvin asked me if I wanted to go out and I said yes because who doesn’t want to see the outside world after being caged inside for 20 years.” He explained it to Abel who rolled his eyes at his friend’s stupidity.

“Are you insane? He asked you out and you’re here?” He deadpanned at him.

“Of course. I can’t leave you here on your own.” Zadkiel frowned. Abel opened the door and Irvin was standing few steps away, scrolling on his phone.

“Look at him! Do you think he wants me to be a third wheel?” He tried to make the raven-haired idiot understand.

“But what about you?” Zadkiel argued.

“I can survive without you for a day. I swear I can.” He answered him. “Plus, I won’t be staying here in the den of werewolves. I’m gonna go live in humans.” Abel stated.

“What?”

“Nothing. You go now with your mate.” He pushed Zadkiel from his back and kicked him out of his room.

Zadkiel was now embarrassed that Irvin asked him for an outing and he just brought up his friend in this. He slowly walked towards the curly-haired guy who was busy scrolling on his phone to notice him and stood before him without speaking anything.

“Is he coming?” Irvin questioned, without even looking up from his phone.

“No.” Zadkiel kept the answer short, fidgeting with his fingers. Irvin lifted his gaze from the phone and glanced at his mate.

“Let’s go then.” He put his phone in the back pocket of his jeans and gestured for Zadkiel to walk who obliged.

Once they were outside, Zadkiel noticed that everyone liked Irvin as they greeted him with so much respect and a broad smile on their faces. In his mind, he thought Irvin must be a good leader.

“This place is very quiet and peaceful,” Zadkiel commented.

The place really was a piece of paradise on earth. With the greenery around and the sky also looked like it wasn’t real. It was so blue and white clouds complimented it. He could swear he had died and he was in heaven.

“But why do you guys live here? Why not in the city?” Zadkiel questioned as they were strolling down the paved path.

“Because we don’t want to hurt humans,” Irvin answered him, looking ahead.

“What do you guys do for a living?” Zadkiel asked, looking at the small girl who had flowers in her hands and was making her way to them.

“My dad runs a company,” Irvin answered just then the girl approached them. Irvin kneeled to her level and so did Zadkiel.

“Yes, Eva?” Irvin said to the little girl.

“Is he the Luna?” She asked Irvin, pointing at Zadkiel shyly. Irvin looked at Zadkiel in adoration and nodded.

“These are for you.” She extended the flowers. Zadkiel grabbed them with a smile. “Welcome home.” She added and kissed Zadkiel’s cheek. It warmth Zadkiel’s heart so much that tears made their way to his eyes.

“Thank you so much, Eva.” He kissed the girl’s cheek. She blushed and then ran away.

“She is Aiden’s daughter,” Irvin informed Zadkiel who just smiled at Eva who was now trying to hide behind a tree.

“She’s an alpha. Can you believe that?” Irvin laughed as he told Zadkiel but it made Zadkiel confused.

“Isn’t there just one Alpha? Or is she the future alpha?” Zadkiel questioned. Irvin smiled at the fact that Zadkiel didn’t question how a female can be an alpha.

“Yes there’s one alpha of the pack but I’m talking here about alpha in the relationship of two people. In your words, the kink shit.” Irvin smirked at Zadkiel.

“Oh.”

They both were walking down the path as Irvin was showing Zadkiel the hospital, school that they had built in the woods. They even had a club in there which made Zadkiel think about how they were hiding in the woods. They could be easily found in the era of advanced technology.

He was about to ask Irvin but when he looked at Irvin, the sun behind him was making a halo around his head as he spoke to Zadkiel, telling him something about the club but Zadkiel was in haze, he had never seen someone as beautiful as his mate. Everything for him starting moving in slow motion or just stopped, he didn’t care to notice it as his eyes were fixed on his mate who resembled an angel.

He stepped forward but before he could do anything a car’s loud horn pulled him out of the trance and he shook his head literally to get back into his conscious because god forbid what he was about to do.

“I’m heading to the office. You wanna join!” He heard Aiden shout. He turned around to see that Aiden was talking to Irvin. He hoped Irvin wouldn’t agree because it was his first day and Zadkiel was confused and scared to be left alone.

“No.” Irvin kept his answer short. Aiden smirked at him, wiggling his eyebrows. Zadkiel wasn’t a kid to not understand what he meant. A blush appeared on his face as he turned around to hide it, waving at Eva who seemed to be following them.

“Goodbye, cupcake,” Aiden shouted so Eva could hear before he drove away.

“Hey… you want something?” Irvin asked her.

“He is just so pretty. When’s the celebration?” Eva spoke, looking at Zadkiel with so much love in her eyes.

“Well… he needs time for that, precious.” Irvin bobbed her nose which made her giggle.

“Mummy said there will be a celebration.” She pouted.

“There will be. Don’t worry.” Irvin assured her.

“Okay.” She was satisfied with the answer, knowing Irvin never lied to her. She turned to Zadkiel “See you, Luna. You’re very pretty.” She said before waving her hand and before Zadkiel could say anything, she dashed off.

“We just adore our Luna. Keep that in mind.” Irvin answered Zadkiel’s unasked question.

As they continued their walk, Zadkiel couldn’t hold himself back anymore and entwined his hand with Irvin’s. He had no idea what got over him. Irvin froze for a second before continued walking with a smile on his face. He was shocked because Zadkiel hadn’t tried to even touch him since he came here yesterday.

“Do werewolves turn into real wolves or it’s just a myth?” Zadkiel questioned. Overwhelming emotions were bubbling inside him because of the body heat of Irvin for being so close to him.

“Yes. On every full moon.” Irvin informed him as they sat on the bench on the roadside. Zadkiel made a realization face.

“So, that’s why I go through pain every once in a month because I don’t turn.” Zadkiel leaned back on the seat thinking even if he’s like Irvin, still he was so different from him which made him think if there was something wrong with him.

“I’ll ask Dr Hill to do your proper checkup. You’re not incurable.” Irvin stated though he wasn’t referring to turning into a wolf. He was more concerned about Zadkiel’s short life span.

“What if there’s no cure?” Zadkiel glanced at Irvin who met his gaze and squeezed his hand.

“I won’t let you die,” Irvin stated, bringing his hand to his lips and kissed the back of it.

The act was enough for Zadkiel to feel all the hundred emotions at once. He closed his eyes and whimpered. He couldn’t control himself today and he had no idea why but then it struck him. Aconite.. He didn’t take aconite today maybe that’s why he was out of control.
