CHAPTER 12

THIRD PERSON POV

Adonai gulped hard and balled his fists, "Damnit!" He cussed. "What a wrong person at the right time"

Elon rushed to Nirvana and pulled her away from the doorstep before closing the door. Even though, he'd yelled on her over the phone, his voice was still soft as he asked, "Why are you here?"

Nirvana was dumbfounded, looking like a fragile leaf. "Gamma Adonai was alive all these while?"

"Nirv... there's an explanation for that" Elon tried to say. "He didn't hide it intentionally, but he had to do something and..."

"Balqis is gone" She muttered. "Yesterday night, Mum said she doesn't come back home and left before the club closed which means she..."

"I will go find her, Elon" Adonai concluded without giving Nirvana a face or listen to her jabs. "Even if I had to fight a tyrant as Gwi, I will make sure to get her back!"

Nirvana and Elon doesn't say anything but watched as he pulled the mask that was lying on the table to his face.

His expression was grime and he made to leave the room but stopped beside Nirvana, and looked at her with disgust.

"I will forgive you" He whispered. "Not because I wanted to. But because you and your mum take care of her even though just a little and you're the reason why I met her"

Elon was about to talk, but Adonai was out of room before then.

Nirvana and Elon looked at each other and Nirvana who never told Elon about her sin with Julius gulped, and quickly left his presence before he could ask any questions.

He plunged back into the forest to meet with Gwi and ask him what he's done with the baby he cunningly take from Balqis.

It was against the rule the rule that Gwi set for all revenant to come to his office without calling for them. But since he wasn't called for, the invincible guard before Gwi's door stopped him.

"Come out now!!" he yelled painfully. "Come out and tell me where you kept my child!"

The other men under Gwi's command like Darkmoon and others entered the grand hall in the downstairs, to watch the tirade because no one has ever raised their voice at Gwi before.

Adonai became more frustrated as he tried bargain in, but the invincible force pushed him back again. "Shame on you! Shame on you for keep grown up men here to kill for you!"

These words forced the door opened abruptly.

Sooner, Adonai was face to face with Gwi himself, but as usual, he had a mask on just like his men are obligated to have.

Adonai barged in and tried approaching him, but out of nowhere, shads of broken glasses aimed st him.

He was scared momentarily, and stopped. He watched Gwi's lips shift into a smirk. "I have known you have something to do with that girl"

Adonai breathed heavily. "That baby is mine!"

Gwi got up from his seat and walked to the edge of the table, "What made you think I took the baby away? Its obviously dead"

"Lies! Lies!" He scoffed. "I saw what you did when the mother was holding the baby. I saw everything including the fake woman that accompanied you!"

Gwi laughed hysterically. "Did you know why I purposely forbid you especially from letting anyone know you're alive?"

Adonai said nothing and didn'tige because the shards of glasses was still aimed to shoot into his body at any time.

Gwi continued, "You have something that I never had"

"What is that?" He asked, confused and was also surveying the room, for a way to get out of the glass shards.

Gwi walked around the table, his expression grave. "What if I tell you that I orchested the plance crash so you can end up here?"

Adonai's heart dropped. "You say what?" Gwi wasn't looking his way all through this, and Adonai was busy looking for how to strike, but found none.

Gwi laughed. "I have always been in your shadow!" his laughter turned dry and sadly. "Everyone chose you and never me! She also chose you.... against me"

By the time he stopped talking, Adonai was already behind him, fuming, his wolf threatening to burst out of his body and attack.

Gwi doesn't flinch. "This is my turf, Adonai and I've already turned you into a revenant. If you leave here, you'll still be different"

"I don't care" he promised. "So far no other person fall into your dubious trap then I'm cool"

"Adonai, you're playing with fire" Gwi laughed evenly again. "Did you know I gave you that life and I can take it back?"

As he was saying this, he was was slowly backing off, and Adonai was following.

Just as Gwi was about to grab the small staff he uses to control all the men under his wing, Adonai ripped off his mask from the left side revealing half of his face and the face he saw first threw him off balance.

"Ju... Julius?"
