Hi everyone, before we begin I need to say a few things. 

1. I'm sorry I wasn't able to keep my promise. Honestly, I was hit with a very bad case of writer's block and anything I wrote I kept deleting because I wasn't happy with it.

2. Also, I pride myself in writing chapters that are at least 3,000 words or longer. I've never written an actual chapter in this book that was shorter than that. SO that's another reason. Since I wasn't happy with what I was writing I kept deleting parts and the chapter would never grow in length unless I was okay with what I wrote. 

3. I'm honestly not a 100% happy with what I wrote in this chapter, but I think it is good enough. I may come back once the story is finish to edit it around.

And finally 4. It's been too long since I've read this book myself so I, myself, am not up to date on this book so I may have made a mistake in a few places regarding things like plot details such as names or eyes colors or things of that nature. I would like to apologize for those mistake if you do find them. Please let me know if I've contradicted myself or if I've changed something by accident.

Thank you and I hope you enjoy this long overdue chapter!

Uriel

Enzo and I are currently cuddling in bed and watching a movie. He's such an amazing mate! I love him and yet I feel guilty for some reason. I'm so confused! Enzo treats me like a king, he's always bringing me home gifts, or some kind of pastries or craving that I was currently having. He also shows me so much affection. Always giving me random kisses and hugs. I go along with it because he's my mate, but I feel so wrong afterward! Sometimes, I can feel something in my head trying to tell me something. It's confusing! We had sex, well tried to, the other day and I felt terrible the entire time. Once the tip of his member was even close to my entrance, I felt wrong. It got to the point where I felt like I was panicking. I had to stop it because I would have thrown up on him if I continued. Which put a damper on things and I felt superbad so I let him face fuck me. Which also made me nauseous, in fact, I had to spit it out or I would've blown chunks on his dick. Ugh, this stupid pregnancy is fucking with all my emotions. I was so lost in thought that I jumped about 5 ft in the air when I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"Baby?! What's wrong?!"

See? Isn't he so cute? God, I love him.

"Nothing, babe. I was just lost in thought. Sorry. Did you need something?"

"I was just about to take a shower since I have to go with dad tonight to help him with his job."

"Oh, okay. Good luck then."

He smiled seductively and gazed at me like I was a piece of meat.

"Why don't you join me and we can have some good luck sex?"

My stomach churned at the very thought.

"Sorry, babe. I'm not feeling too good at the moment."

His expression turns angry before it goes back to his regular one so quickly I almost thought I was dreaming.

"That's okay baby. I guess a kiss will have to do then."

I smile at him before leaning closer to him so I could give a quick chaste kiss. But before I could pull back, his hands wrap around my head and pull me even closer to him as he continues the kiss. His tongue licks at my lower lip asking for entrance, but I wasn't having it since it was kind of gross for me. He pinches my butt and I squeal in surprise and a bit of pain. I push him away real quick.

"What the fuck, Enzo?"

He give me a murderous glare before once again it changes so quickly back into a mischievous once. Okay, wtf? I must be seeing things at this point. Damn hormones.

"Sorry, baby. Got carried away for a sec. I got to go now. Please stay in bed for the rest of the night. I don't know when I'll be back so don't wait up for me."

"Okay, Enzo. I will. Hurry back, I'll miss you."

He smiles at me so tenderly.

"I think of you all the time while I'm away."

We hugged one last time before he leaves to take a shower and I go back to watching the movie, only to realize that the movie was over. I shrugged and just restart it since I didn't really pay attention the first time.

***************

The next day, Enzo and I are sitting by the pool just enjoying the sun. Enzo was on his phone while I was reading a book. It was a pregnancy book to help me know what to expect for the rest of my pregnancy. I sigh because I wish I had a family to tell me these things. I was born and dropped off at the local orphanage. I don't really remember much about that time in my life. All I really remember is meeting Enzo and being with him. I asked him once how come I barely remember anything about my life and he told me that I was in a terrible accident the night I found out I was pregnant. I was in a coma for a few weeks. And fortunately, my baby was okay. I figured since my baby will be half-human and half-angel, it'll be stronger than regular babies. Huh, half-angel. Some angel I am. I can't really do much. I don't have any superpowers really. I don't even have wings. Just the speed, strength and healing. Which I guess, I can't really complain about it, but I just feel like I'm not at my full potential. I just sigh and go back to reading. Sometimes I wish I had a family, just one relative or someone like me so they can help me with what I am. Maybe someone who can explain this mate stuff to me too. Anyways, I think back to a few weeks ago when I had that weird fainting spell. I don't really remember much leading up to it either. Now that I think about it, a lot of my memory is missing. Enzo had said that my memory problems are due to the accident. It's kind of depressing, not knowing who you are and what you are. I hope my memories come back to me someday.

I look up as Enzo gets up and stretches. He's wearing a tank top that give me a good view of his back muscles. I squint because I see what looks like the beginning of scratch marks on his shoulder. But before I can get a good look, he turns around and walks over to the table to get some food that is right beside my chair. I try to subtly get a good look of his back again, but he turns around and catches me staring.

"If you wanted a view of my ass, babe, you could have just asked. I'd be happy to show you mine, but you'd have to show me yours first."

He says with a wink and a smirk at the end of his sentence. I feel my face heat up and I start to fumble over my words.

"W-w-wwh-at? N-n-no, that's not what I was doing!! Not that I wouldn't do it, but that is-"

"Enzo!"

I was interrupted by his father which caused me to sigh in relief because that was kind of embarrassing to be honest. Enzo just sighs before turning around and glaring at his father.

"Yes?"

Enzo's father, whose name I really don't know since we hardly see each other, gives me a once over in disgust before turning to his son.

"We have a meeting with the Romanoffs' next week so I need you and your..." He once again gives me that disgusted look. "...play thing to be ready since it's also a bit of a welcome party for Romanoff's son who will be taking over soon."

I don't know why he doesn't like me. He hasn't said a single thing to me since I've been here and it's not like I've gone out of my way to be rude to him or anything. What a dick. I mean yeah, I guess it's weird that I'm a guy and I'm pregnant or the fact that I'm not entirely human. But wait, he shouldn't know that. I don't think I told him or anyone else besides my mate. Oh god, did Enzo tell him?

I look over at Enzo, who glares at his father, before staring at me with a lustful look. That look gives me a weird feeling in my stomach and I can't decide if it's good or bad. Or I could just be feeling nauseous from morning sickness, even if it is like 2 in the afternoon. I pretend not to notice and get up to get some food as well. I try to think of a way to get out of going, maybe I can just say that I'm not feeling well. I can just blame it on the baby. Plus, I mean I'm a pregnant male which isn't normal to humans so I'm sure they would allow me to stay. But then again, I'm assuming this is for Enzo's job which I've been curious about since he doesn't really speak about it. Mmm, I think I much would prefer to stay in than be anywhere near his dad.

I sigh as I see Enzo and his father walk inside. Good perhaps, I can go back inside too so I can take a nap before dinner. I hope the cook, whose name I don't know but should learn, makes lava cake for dessert tonight. I walk inside to the kitchen so I can talk to the chief. She's a sweet old lady who loves cooking and feeding people. She's currently cutting up some veggies for our dinner, I'm assuming. I greet her and she turns around.

"Hello sweetie, how are you today? You need me to make you anything specific? What are you craving today, honey?"

I couldn't help but blush at all the cute pet names she calls me. I really like her.

"I'm okay for now, I was just wondering if you could make lava cake for dessert today. But if you already had something planned then don't worry about it. I'm really just craving anything chocolate at the moment."

"Now sweetheart, you just gave me a wonderful idea. I was at a loss for what to make for dessert tonight. Of course, I'll make lava cake today, sugar. If you want some chocolate right now I made some brownies earlier today and should still have some so help yourself to whatever is left, darling."

I squeal in excitement because I love brownies! I head over to the fridge and look for them. When I find them, I waste no time in opening up the tupperware and digging in.

"Thank you so much, ma'am!"

She waves her hand at me.

"Please call me Lili, sweetheart. And you're very welcome!"

I smile and thank her again before heading up toward Enzo's and my room to watch a movie and lay in bed.

********

I was aroused from sleeping to the feeling of lips on my neck. I looked up and I saw coffee colored eyes that looked like they could bore into my soul. Before I could blink, they turned to a golden honey color and a deep spine tingling voice spoke.

"Amato, I need you to come back to me."

"Who are you?"

"I am yours and you are mine. Remember our love."

"What?"

"You're not safe! The people around you aren't who they say they are!"

"I don't understand."

Next thing, I know the person disappears and I'm stuck feeling oddly empty. I get up and chase after him. The room turns into a long dark hallway and it leads to a door with a small opening in it. I peek through it and I can't really see inside that well. I hear clanking almost like shackles hitting the brick walls. It scares me.

"Who's there?"

There's some moonlight coming in through a window in the corner of the room. The person inside comes closer just enough to where I can see his face. I gasps in shock and step back. The person inside was me! What is going on? What kind of dream is this? The me inside the room starts to struggle against the shackles that are on his ankles and his wrist. He shakes his head and I take notice of the gag in his mouth. He's struggling to break free. The chains connected to the wall looks like its about to give, but it stays strong. I start to bang on the door. I try to open the door, but there is no way to open it. No door handle or hole. There's no way I can get through it. I can't explain why I have this all consuming need to get into the door and get to the other me.

"Uriel! Uriel! Calm down!"

I came to and instead of golden eyes, they were the green ones of my mate.

"Enzo?"

"Yeah, baby. It's me."

"What happened?"

"I don't know. I came in here and you were thrashing around."

"Oh, okay."

"What were you dreaming about?"

He says as he goes into the bathroom while stripping. Now that I think about it. I can't really remember. I just remember the feeling of emptiness and longing.

"I don't know. I don't think I was having a nightmare. At least, I don't get that feeling."

He chuckles.

"That's a strange way to put that."

I agreed and watched as he closed the door. I lay back down and try to go back to sleep. As soon as I close my eyes, a flash of golden eyes appear. I gasp and open them again.

"You are not safe!"

"Come back to me."

"I am yours and you are mine."

"Remember our love."

Who was that? What did he mean? I can't help, but feel like I can trust him. What the hell? What is going on?

***************

3rd Person

Ivana and her family, this included Uriel's family as they are now part of hers as well, walked onto a field. It looked desolate. The floor was barren of any grass, only dirt. The few trees that could be seen were dry and dead looking. The atmosphere itself was eerie and quiet.

"This place is creepy!"

Ivana looked to her youngest and gave him a be quiet look. Dom just raised his hands in a surrender gesture and went to back to studying the area.

"When is this person supposed to get here?"

"Patience my son. She'll be here soon if she knows what's good for her."

"Relax. I'm here."

Xavier immediately looked up and growled. Before anyone could blink, he was at the newcomer's side with her in his arms.

"Mine!"

Hectate did not like this so she flicked her wrist and he was no longer holding her, but instead he was a few feet away.

"Not so fast, big boy."

Everyone else was staring in shock. Ivana was the first to clear her surprise.

"Xavier, my son! Is she your mate?"

His eyes were flashing brighter than usual and he nods his head.

"Well, isn't this fan-fucking-tastic?"

Everybody turns to look at the lady, who spoke.

"Look, junior, I don't have time for a mate and honestly, I'm thinking that I'm way older than you so I certainly don't feel like being with a child."

Xavier growls and goes to lunge, but Hecate just snaps her fingers and he's frozen.

"Look, just ask me what you want to know so I can get out of here. I've honestly only stayed this long out of respect to you, Ivana."

Ivana flicks her wrist and Xavier is free again. It was unexpected so he falls down since he was in motion when he was frozen.

"I will only say this once before I begin my questioning. A mate is the most precious gift you could ever receive, aside from children, so DO NOT reject it before even giving it a chance."

Hecate sighed. "Noted. I'll think about it. Now ask away."

"Who has my son's mate, Uriel?"

"I'm not allowed to say as it was part of the deal and you know I always uphold my end of the deals."

Ivana shook her head.

"Hecate, I know it was you who put the block on Uriel's mind so that none of us could reach him. Ple-"

She was interrupted by Seraphina who immediately had Hecate by the throat.

"You! You did that to my son?! My baby? I'll kill y-"

Xavier growled and tried to lunge at Sera which in turned set off Uri's dad to lunge at him. Things were about to get messy.

"ENOUGH!" Adam shouted and with a gesture of his hand everyone was frozen and separated.

"Now this isn't helping us find my mate and child any faster." He pointed to Xavier first.

"Xavier, fucking chill! Sera has every right to be angry with your mate, who is the reason for this. But I understand you. I get it, but cool off. She is refusing to help and we are all frustrated about not being able to find him."

Next, he pointed to Sera.

"Now you! I understand your frustration, but killing won't help us, in fact, it will do the fucking opposite! We won't ever be able to take the block of off Uriel if we kill her because it is her magic and her personal spell. The only we would be able to take it off with her gone would be if we found her spell book. Plus, she knows who has him."

Finally, he pointed at Hecate.

"Listen closely, lady. I don't know you and the only stopping me from seriously hurting you is the fact that you are my brother's mate. Now, this deal you speak off. Explain it and who you made it with? Give me every little detail you can think off."

Hecate scoffed.

"And who are you to order me around? Why should I help you?"

Adam waved his hand and she came flying to him. He was right up in her face. As much as Hecate try she could not free herself from his grasp. So this is the power of the one mated to that angel and offspring to Ivana, she thought to herself. She was curious about the angel's, this Uriel, power as well.

"Look bitch, I'm at my limit. My mate is probably in the hands of some fucking psychos and he is fucking pregnant with my child. I will fucking torture you to get my answers. If you have even an ounce of compassion in you, you would help reunite my family. Does having a mate nothing to you? Do you have so little care for anyone other than yourself? Is your pride and wealth all you care about? Because if it is then my brother is better off with someone else."

Hecate couldn't understand why that last part of his rant stabbed at her heart and made want scream and cry out. She looked at the young man in front of her and could see he truly care for his mate. Then she moved on to look at her mate and that's when she felt her heart do a somersault in her chest. For the first time she found herself wanting to get close to someone. Wanting to feel loved and be in love. Was this the effect of the mate bond?

Once again sorry for the wait! I hope you enjoy this chapter. It was seriously one of the toughest I had to write simply because I had no clue how I wanted it to go and how I wanted to execute my ideas. 

Once again please forgive me! And remember to let me know if I made a mistake. Love you all and thank you for sticking by me for so long!
