Absolution

10: House Of Wolves

Cassiel

Days passed when Azrael started his therapy session with Adriel, and the progress is commendable, when I say commendable is that he's back to his usual self.

But whenever I think about what happened those day I visited him, I couldn't help the blush that's creeping up on my face.

"Isn't cute when he's blushing?" I've heard Haniel asked Michael. Michael just chuckle a response and return his attention to his book.

I am with the three brothers and Haniel in Michael's house since they decided to visit Azrael with me. They said they want to know something and I have the suspicion what is it.

Oh crap, the book!

I stand up "Uhm, excuse me? I gotta get something from my house." I didn't wait for them to respond.

My house are just walking distance from Michael's house in the Archangel's sector, so I decided not to fly anymore. Eventually, I'm already right in front of my house and I slid the key to open the door.

I hastily make my way upstairs and kneeled in front of my bed to pull the books that I borrowed from Metatron. I am going to return it back to him, because I am done copying the things I need to know how to summon Zehel and his brothers.

I peeled the paper that I put inside the book that serves as a bookmark and I tucked it inside the pocket of my pants as I closed the book again and slid it back under my bed. I went towards the door of my bedroom and I fastly went downstairs, not bothering to close the door of my house.

I saw the four of them waiting at me and when I finally reached them, Gabriel thumped on the back that made me coughed. Raphael thumped him back that makes Gabriel almost lose his balance, and he shoved Raphael slightly that made the other angel laughed.

Michael shake his head in disbelief while smiling "Leave them be, let's go. We need to hurry, or we couldn't catch catch up to Azrael. Since this is his last day of therapy." he said before leaping through the air and now he's the one who left us behind.

Haniel pats me on my shoulder and we leaped on the air together "I know what's going on between the two of you," I looked at her, curiously. She chuckle "But don't worry, I support you." she winked.

The blush is back on my cheeks and we just fly silently towards the Crypt.

"So, what are you all doing here?" Azrael asked, but his eyes are trained on me while he is wearing back his combat boots. The confident look in his eyes are back and I can feel the new surge of power from him, but the way he looked at me makes me want to shrink back.

Michael cleared his throat "Should we wait you from the outside?" Azrael nod, I turned around to go with Michael and the others, but he pulled me back "But I want Cassiel to stay here for the meantime."

"Alright, I understand because you're such good friends." after he said that he went out with Haniel who's shaking her head in astonishment.

I faced Azrael, scowling but he just arched his eyebrow "I don't like that kind of face you're giving me, Cassiel." he spreads his arms, "Come on hug me---uck." I elbowed him hardly "Let's go out now, they are waiting for us and I need you to know something."

He's scratching the part where I elbowed him "What is it?" he throw an arm around me and we went out from the Crypt.

"I need to talk to your children." he looked at me like I've grown two heads "Why? I already told you the reasons, right?" I shrugged "They have the right to know about them, Az."

He sighed "Alright, I will summon them. Since you are their 'mom'." he grinned and I pouted "Do I look like a mom to you?"

But Az just laughed "No. But you look like a girl so yes." I grinned and laughed with him. When we're already out from the Crypt, Tobias landed right before us "Michael wants to see you in the Seraphim Square." with that, he disappeared again in a blur of dark blue feathers.

"Come on, let's catch up with him." I spread my wings and I flapped it before leaping through the air, I feel Az's presence behind me but I didn't expect him to see being perched above a very huge scythe with some black smoke around it.

My eyes widened "What the Hell?" he smirked back at me "This is how I roll." and after he said that, he past before me with some insane speed. I followed him, trying hard to catch up with him.

"Well that's cool." Michael eyeing up the 8 newcomers in his office.

So yeah, after of that agonizing moments of my life catching up with Az. We arrived at Michael's office in no time, damn it. This is the first time I fly so fast in my entire life and it's Az's fault.

Az is now sitting at the couch in Michael's office, letting his children deal with Michael. I learned all their identities finally, of course I know who Profeis and Zehel is.

First is Freis, the red hair and intelligent looking guy who's having a conversation with Merav with a scowling Tobias looking at their direction. Second is Ean, the pale blond guy who is munching a lollipop while looking out the window. Third is Rilech, the black hair and a easy go lucky guy who loves to hug a creepy doll against his chest. Fourth is Randall, who looks identical to Ean and loves to play a rubix cube, Az said he's suffering in severe ADHD. Fifth is Verdandi, who looks very kind and the one who's always bringing a bible, you could've mistaken him as an angel but he has an issue who's suffering in DID. And lastly,Verdiech the silent one among the group.

"Yes! He is our mommy!" my attention turned to Profeis's happy voice while pointing at my direction and I absentmindedly point at myself. I looked at Az to say something but he's clearly enjoying this with his arm around my shoulder.

Zehel interrupted "No shit bro, he is also our Father because they are both male." Profeis pouted and turned to Haniel who is smiling "Cassiel can be our mom right?" I could hear Az chuckled beside and I just glared at him.

Haniel pinched his cheek "If that's what you want." Profeis beamed at her while his eyes are sparkling with happiness.

You wouldn't believe that this cute fella is a fearless reaper of the Angel of Death. His lavander hair is very unique that even Perpetua and Seraphiel asks Az why his hair is like that.

Ean went to them still munching his lollipop "Myowr canort merk hirm mommwer." Michael looked at him quizically, trying to comprehend what he said.

Freis fixed his eyeglass "He said, you cannot make him a mother." he translated. Michael chuckle and looked at Az's direction "Your children are weird, but I could sense a strong power with them."

Az just shrugged "I won't settle for less, Michael."

The room filled with chattering and bickering Reapers, but I am relieved that the Seraphim are comfortable with their presence. I thought there would be a conflict because the Seraphim are easily triggered, but when they sense that they're not threats they talked to them comfortably.

Gabriel and Raphael went inside, surprised to see our visitors but everything went fine and here I am worrying that they won't accept this peculiar kids but I was wrong.

If Michael raised a crazy bunch of children called Seraphim. Azrael raised a peculiar bunch of kids called the Reapers.

Both are belong to the house of wolves.
