Chapter 39: First Crack

Zadkiel headed straight home after this. His legs were thinking with their own brain because the one in his skull didn’t even know what was happening, the one in his skull was numb to everything. He wasn’t crying. He wasn’t feeling any kind of emotion. He was just numb.

He was sitting on the bed, gripping the sheets as his mind was playing the same picture on a slideshow in his brain. He didn’t want to see her face but that’s all he could see.

“Zadkiel…” He heard Irvin’s voice as he entered the room but he didn’t look up because somehow the floor was more fascinating than any reality he was in.

“Zadkiel, I’m talking to you, baby.” Irvin stood before him. He lifted his gaze from the floor and stared at his mate’s face.

“Yeah?”

Irvin gave him a soft smile and sat beside him. He caressed the balled fist of Zadkiel that was gripping the sheets, tightly. Zadkiel released the sheets and sighed, shaking his head.

“I’m sorry.” He murmured.
