CHAPTER TWO

ADONIS’s POV.

FOUR HOURS AGO.

I shot out of bed, my breathing heavy as I pulled my half naked body out of bed. This nightmare has become a constant part of my life now.

I picked up my phone and checked the time, it was a few minutes past 5 am. This was my usual routine, I always woke up around this time every day and it has been happening for as long as i could remember..

It kept tormenting me every day, showing me how cruel and evil I was. This was my punishment for being so cruel and evil, my karma and my pain. For the longest time , this was how I have lived with my nightmares.

Pulling my body out of bed, I made my way to the gym which was attached to my room. As soon as I picked up a dumbbell, my phone began to beep and it automatically connected to my Bluetooth speaker.

“Boss” Alexander’s filtered into my ear.

“Why have you called so early?” I asked him, Alexander was my assistant and he was pretty good at his job. He has been working for me for the past ten years now.

“I have sent the last edited copy of the pitch to you sir” he said, “and a meeting with the media company that we would be partnering with has been set. They want to know when you would be available”

“I haven’t looked through the pitch, Alex” I told him as I raised a brow, “you can not set a meeting now. Tell them we will get back to them when I have read through what they have. Myriad is too big to work with a shady company and I have told you that times without number”

“I have done a background check on them, sir” he said again, “and I think they are the best bet now”

“I will get back to you”

The call ended and I returned to my exercise, the image of my nightmare becoming fresh in my head… screams…blood..fire..

“Are you going to keep sulking or get yourself together?” A voice asked from the dark but I didn't bother to turn to the voice. That was his job, to make sure I didn’t die.

I scoffed at the thought of that, how could I die? I couldn’t die, not yet. My life didn’t even belong to me, it belonged to her. The same person who put me in this damned place. It was her fault anyways. She gave me so much power and decided to punish me for using it, how was that even possible?

“I have told you to stop creeping into my room, Ash” I hissed in anger.

“I also do not wish to be here” he retorted, “but I must follow her orders and keep you safe.

“Why don’t you complain about me, she might free you from the torture”

He scoffed as he walked out of the dark, his eyes expressionless and dark.

Ash has been my right hand man for the longest of time. Right from the day I manifested myself.

I started off being an ordinary rouge alpha and believe me when I said other packs taunted me and made mockery of my standing, I didn’t have a place at their table but I fought, I fought my way to the top of the food chain until I became the dreaded lycan king and that was when she deemed it fit to punish me.

I laughed at the thought of that. I mean killing millions of wolves and their alphas was a little crime, yeah? I did it for myself, to show the rest what I was capable of doing. They made a mockery of me, they taunted me and it was my revenge, my revenge.

My jaw clenched together as I thought about it, she is so cruel and evil. She gave me such a harsh punishment for punishing those who stood against me. I hate her, I hate her so much and one day I would be able to free myself from her shackles.

My lips curled up when the thought of a certain person made its way into my head. I waited for her for eighteen good years, I had to put up with being a good person so she could manifest herself. My redemption, the one who would stand beside me and help me conquer the world and my punisher.

“You seem excited” Ash’s voice reached me again as I dropped the dumbbell on the ground.

“Do you want me to chop off your tongue?” I hissed and he scoffed. He was not in the least scared of me, i mean he has seen me to the last of me.

“I can not wait to behold her”

After he was done, he turned around and walked out of the room leaving me to my thoughts again.

“Scarlett” her name rolled out of my mouth as a smirk appeared on my face.

After exercising for about forty minutes, I made my way into the shower to get ready for work.

As soon as I got dressed and came downstairs, I saw her. The person I have been waiting for for eighteen years. She looked so little compared to me and I couldn’t help but fake a smile at her. This was the first time I was being this close to her and yes I could feel it. The energy emanating from her, she was the one, I knew it, I could feel it in my guts.

The woman who has the power to change my entire life story, the one who could make me keep on living or die.

The thought of it made me smile at her the more, I loved the thrill it was giving me. I wanted to see what she had to offer, I wanted to see how a frail woman like her would be able to conquer me, conquer Adonis Fenrir.

Looking back at her, i couldn’t help but wonder how a weak human like her would tame a lycan like me, how a weak woman like her would bring about my utmost doom or my redemption
