Chapter 8

THIRD PERSON POV

He ran until his legs almost gave way. As he ran through the woods behind the Orthodox hospital, the wind pulled off the wig he had on, and the long golden hair was revealed.

His tall frame, which made him look unrecognizable, was the result of the outfit he had on, pulled off more than he had. He got a lush patch of field and fell.

His chest heaved heavily with sadness, and a little trace of tears appeared near his eyes, but he pushed it back with all the power he had.

"Why did I go there?" He questioned himself as his chest was still heaving bitterly.

Still there, A Ferrari Masterati Sports car sped up beside him from the tarred road beside, and another man came out and rushed to him.

"Gamma, are you fine?" The concerned fellow tried pulling him up.

Gamma Adonai refused to bulge, as he ran his hand through his hair harshly, and for the first time since Alpha King Elon (Nirvana's husband) knew Adonai, who was his best friend, he saw him cry.

Elon quickly pulled out a handkerchief and gave it to him. "What is the situation over there? Why are too crying? What's wrong, Gamma?"

"I failed again," he breathed sadly and erratically, still crying. "I failed to take her again. She pulled off my mask."

Elon gasped! "Did she see your face?" Or have you forgotten that Gwi doesn't want...."

"Fuck Gwi and his minions!" Adonai yelled. "Fuck them all!! My forbidden fruit is there suffering with sickness while carrying my child and I couldn't do anything about it!" He sobbed the more.

"But you gave her a lot of money the last three days before she fainted?" Elon asked curiously and now sat beside him.

Adonai cleaned his eyes. "With the look of things, it seems like her stepmom has hijacked it."

Elon bowed his head, obviously in shame. "It's my fault. I thought the stepmom would let her be by letting my Luna go to help them at the club I don't know...."

"She was so lean, Elon," Adonai said again. "I wanted to gather her in my arms and take her to somewhere far and live happily, but Gwi that bastard...."

Then he clenched his fists just like his teeth were clenched. "No. I will just keep seeing her in secret until I finish paying off the debts I owe him."

Saying this,nmind wandered off to when he died in a fatal plane crash. But Gwi had given him another chance in life when his soul was still wandering, and in exchange, he had to be his minion for seven years plus.

Since Gwi was a black magic artist whose network cannot be found against, Adonai, who was brought back to life, had no choice but to agree to pay the debt for the life he gave her again.

But Gwi's condition was that no one must know he was alive until his mission was complete.

Elon was his best friend and the only one who would help him with anything if things went wrong, and they only met in secret like this because Gwi had vowed to kill me, whoever knew he was alive.

"Perhaps you can ask for Gwi's help to keep. Her safe," Elon suggested. "He was enslaving you for seven years. You have to tell him that you're a father now."

Adonai smiled sadly, "If I had died, would I have asked the goddess for a second chance?" He got to his feet. "Gwi is mad. I can't let him mess with your life, so go back now. I'll contact you if I have to."

Elon held his shoulder, "Bro, are you sure you'll be fine?"

Forcing a smile, Adonai replied. "I got to see Balqis's face, Thanks to you, who bribed the doctor. I'm okay with that."

Elon turned to leave but stopped when he remembered something. "Nirvana told me about some drunker that was caught on CCTV, and that...."

"Oh, that's Darkmoon," Adonai cut into his words. "He came with me to the club, and he apologized because he didn't know she was mine."

"That's why you marked her?" Elon chuckled, moving toward his car.

Adonai heaved a sigh again, "I never thought marking would make her faint. I forgot I was a revenant before doing that shit."

After a while, Elon left him alone and sped away.

Adonai spread his hand into the air and drew in long, heavy breaths before walking away slowly.

Along the way, Darkmoon met him. "Where did you run off to again? Gwi was asking for you. He's giving you your first mission today."

"Hun?" He managed to mumble.

Darkmoon's eyes widened as he didn't see his mask anywhere. "Where is your mask?"

"Threw it away," he mumbled again.

Darkmoon gasped. "Did you know the consequences of letting anyone know you're alive before you finish paying off your debt?"

Adonai said nothing and walked on, the reality of what Darkmoon was saying hitting him back to back.

What he forgot to tell Elon about his contract was that until he got to Gwi's territory. Using Drunkmage's mask as the security bypass, they entered the forest and walked just a few meters until they got to the gigantic house where they lived.

This place was sealed with Dark magic, and no one can casually see this house without the bypass mask or getting rid of Gwi's magic.

Adonai ignored the greetings thrown at him and ascended the stairs toward Gwi's office. He hesitated before entering the office.

Getting there, Adonai bowed to the empty chair like he should do until the Gwi himself appeared on the chair and ordered him to raise his head.

Adonai obeyed, and Gwi, whose face was close with a very demure and elegant smirk, threw a file at him.

"Your first mission is to kill those people and everything you find in their home. Then bring their hearts to me," he ordered.

Adonai dropped the file immediately. "I can never kill anyone!"

"Then give back the life I gave you."

Hearing this, his shoulders dropped with disappointment, and he felt like crying, but had no choice but to take the file before leaving the room. But before he exited, Gwi called him back. "Where did you go?"

Adonai stilled and gulped hard before answering... "To.. to the club"

Gwi was silent for a long time before gesturing that he leave.

Getting outside, Adonai clenched his fists as he thought, "I will get away from your grip soon and put you in my position right now!"

Saying that, he walked off with sadness.
