    About this ebook

    A HUMAN, AND WORTHLESS... OR SO HE THOUGHT
    HIS NEW MISSION: FIND HIMSELF, FIND HIS WORTH

    Jayden St. Paul has issues. Big issues. He is turned into human and thrown to their world. He is as disoriented as a swan thrown in mud from a sparkling pond. There is no way out.

    But he tries to learn. After a short while of wallowing, he comes out and investigates this world of humans. He observes them—what they like, eat, do, and say. He has to adapt. He is not ready to call himself human, but he needs to survive.

    But as he watches, he sees the signs—a smile, a caring hand on another's shoulder, laughter, delicious food, camaraderie, and friendship.

    Possibilities.

    How can he be not drawn to humans? Riddled now with their every qualities including their faults, how can he avoid to care? When one helpless female is kidnapped and is missed, Jayden finds that he has the power to instinctively know where she is. And his first act of caring is the first step that takes him to finding himself.

    EXCERPT
    Her name was Marci Hayes. She was 26. She was described as attractive at 5’4” tall and 120 pounds. From her photo, he could see that she had shoulder length blonde hair and green eyes. He observed Marci’s image a bit more. Yes, he thought to himself, by human standards, she would look quite lovely.

    Would that be why she was taken? From what he knew of humans, they could be desirous of beautiful things.

    He went on to read the rest of the newspaper as he was going through his food. But he found that he couldn’t help but come back to the story of Marci Hayes. It felt as if he was inexplicably drawn to it. Something akin to a buzz or a hum that started somewhere in the back of his head was growing increasingly apparent as he scanned the news item once more.

    He stood up and reached for his wallet. Jocelyn arrived at his table as he was leaving her a generous tip.

    “Mind if I take the paper with me?” he asked as she started to clear his plates.

    She laughed in response. “For you honey, anything.” She straightened up, plates in hand, “It’s late and in a couple of hours I’ll have the new ones, anyway. Have a good evening!” She winked at him and turned to walk towards the kitchens.

    Jayden stared at her back for a moment, frowning a little. Not all humans were as exuberant, he observed. Could it be because he was, as she’d said, handsome, and she liked that? What else do human women liked in human men? Was her lively spirit the reason why he felt he could tolerate her, even like her as a friend?

    A human friend. For some reason, as he watched Jocelyn made an elderly couple laugh at another table on the other end of the diner, it didn’t seem such a bad idea.

      PROLOGUE

      THE RAIN WAS coming down hard. Thunder and lightning accompanied the deluge as the water gathered on the ground, nearly flooding the parking lot of the motel.

      A man stood at the window of one of the motel rooms, watching the storm as it raged on outside. The violent weather nearly matching the fury of the thoughts that raced through his mind.

      What the hell am I going to do now, he thought. All that I've ever known has just been ripped from me. I'm an angel! That's what I was created to be and what I've always been. But that's all been taken away from me now.

      It started with an argument-this endless debate regarding his Father's seemingly preferential treatment with these humans.

      He took it for granted, his Father's unending well of patience. His Father's easy forgiveness. What he had forgotten was that his Father was also and will always be a teacher.

      And so it had come to pass, Jayden was sent to Earth to learn his lesson.

      And oh, what a learning experience it has been so far.

      I should have just kept quiet about my true feelings for humans-or lack thereof. Why did I have to keep arguing with Father over his preferential treatment and tolerance of them? Now look at me. Now... I'm one of them. One minute I'm amongst the most revered of beings and the next I'm nearly a the bottom of the food chain. How utterly humiliating.

      In his frustration, Jayden stalked from the window and to the bed. His bedside clock winked out at him, announcing in its red digital glow that it was Tuesday, 9:30 p.m.

      He never had to bother with the concept of time. But since his exile, he had learned to measure his life in days, hours, seconds.

      It's been three days. Three days since he last saw Paradise. Three days since he basked in the bliss of heaven.

      Three days of absolute... dare he say it?

      This must be what hell feels like-a place where time is excruciatingly slow and drawn-out.

      He shook his head. The words of his last conversation with his Father still ringing in his head.

      Jayden was to learn compassion. Compassion?! Towards these foolish creatures? With their arrogance, their self-entitlement and hypocrisies?
