You’re a werewolf and Malik is a vampire, but despite that and your two species' bad blood for multiple millennia you two are close friends.

Malik had grown to care for you deeply, and was willing to listen to any problems you had, making sure to listen and wait patiently for you to calm down when you get riled up.

Just as now when you're pacing around his office while he sat at his desk, Malik listened, offering you the advice he can.
