Adrian POV
I am Adrian- Alpha Adrian- Son of a celestial and the Devil- I've got the best of both worlds in me.
Yet, I am just a monster, a yellow-green-eyed beast. I'm a titan who shifts. Everyone fears to loathe and abhors me. Yet they wish they had my powers.
I don't age. I am 25, since forever. I've fought every battle on the face of the earth, yet never lost. I have all the treasures in the world but I have no reason to enjoy them. I've seen the present becomes the past, the past becomes the history and histories become Myth. The world kept changing. But I am the only living constant.
From the day the Moon goddess put me in the lap of mother Isadora, till this day- my life has been a great curse. King Lycheon and Queen Isadora sure loved me like their own. Lucas, Salazar, and Clover are more than my brothers. But I can't help but loathe this life. I cannot die, No fire can burn me, no silver can pierce through, nor water can drown me.
What has hurt me the most was the fact that I never existed for Mother-Selene & Father-Ardor. I am an abandoned child. I was born in the lap of nature on this lone crescent mountain, father king Lycheon and mother Isadora adopted me and gave me a new life. Their generosity and love was the only thing that kept me sane. But My King and Queen died a few thousand years later. Generations after generations came into existence and left this world. I've stood through it all, suffered through it all, lived through it all, and seen all of them cease to exist. The ones I always protected- are Lucas Salazar and Clover- Losing them is the only fear I have. They are my brothers and standing on this earth for almost as long as I am. I could shatter this earth if any harm comes their way.
I am the prince. I am the alpha of lone crescent and all the other wolves out there. I never call myself a King as it would be disrespectful to father King Lycheon. Lucas should have been the king by the law of human world as he is the older son of the King & Queen. I could never strip off Lucas from his right. So I run my kingdom as a pack, Lucas, Salazar, and Clover make sure that the pack runs smoothly. Throughout thousands of years, few pack members wanted to move out and settle on their own, & I've let them go because deep inside I know the pain of not being able to leave. Unfortunately, A few of those wolves went rogue.
Gillian is the one fiercest and wicked amongst all. He calls himself the king of Rogues. He has militarized every rogue in his pack. I do not know what's his problem with me, But I know he is waiting for the right opportunity to take over my people. He threatened to kill Lucas, Salazar, and clover. He conspired many times against me before, But it got out of hand when he conspired to kill my brothers. I had to cast him and his aides out of my pack. Since then he is conspiring along with other rogues to make his pack stronger and ready.
I've seen wolves falling in love. Lucas and Salazar had their mate-wolves. I even know how their one true love changed them. But I never found my mate. I howled at the full moon and tried to ask my mother what my crime was. Why did I have to keep suffering? She never answered. This long immortal life is indeed a curse, an eternal curse. I must keep on living like this until the end of time. I believe it is the only way I could be destroyed too.
I do not care anymore. I am strong now. I do not howl at heaven. I snatch my share of women. I have claimed the most beautiful fairies and witches, vampires and she-wolves, angels, and demons. But never fell in love. no one ever made me feel complete. My heart has suffered enough but the lack of that one person doesn't make me weak anymore. I have turned into a living blackhole. Pain means nothing to me anymore. I devour it all.
I and my kind live on the lone crescent, we always have been. The dense forest doesn't let any human dare enter our territory. This is the only way we can make sure no human is hurt by us. In the dark age, I may have hunted and killed many, but that never helped either. That doesn't please me anymore.
I occasionally roam around. On every full moon night, I sit on the top of the Lone-crescent mountain and secretly wish my mother would be able to see the curse she has left on earth. I secretly hope she will be ashamed to see me living my curse. It never happened. I supposedly never existed for her. When things get overwhelming, I shift & run. I run to find the end of this earth and wish It would swallow me.
That day, It was another Blue moon night. All the wolves and their mates on the Lone crescent perform a special lunar ritual that comes once in a hundred human years. This day makes me feel outraged. I make sure not to stay within a hundred miles from Lone crescent. And that day, I chose to run to Avon view mountain. It is the only day Lucas Salazar and Clover do not stay by my side. These annoying wolf couples make so much noise, that no one can stay sane in the palace.
