In the moment of intense feelings, Adrian's mind raced with uncertainty. Was the conversation just a figment of his imagination? But then, his eyes fell upon the cups on the table, and a surge of realization washed over him. Aida had truly made the effort to be here, to see him, and to persuade him to stay. The weight of this understanding filled Adrian's heart with an overwhelming sense of joy. It was as if he had finally found his place in the world! Oh, dear God, after enduring the horrors of the past two years, this feeling was nothing short of extraordinary!
'But wait, Adrian, pull yourself together! A person should act maturely. What did you expect from Aida's behavior? She is an Alpha, and even stronger than you, I'm sorry to say," Demus muttered to himself. Demus continued, "Adrian, you must realize the gravity of the situation. Aida's presence here is not to be taken lightly. She is an Alpha, a force to be reckoned with. And she shows you kindness and convinces you to stay. This is a rare opportunity, one that you cannot afford to let slip away. Gather your strength, Adrian, and make the most of this chance. Show her the Alpha you truly are."
"I will show her, I promise you. Aida will be proud of me and see me as an ally, not a threat. I will work with all my power to make that happen."
"All right, we understand. Don't delay any longer, prepare a program for yourself to become the Alpha you should be," Demus said.
In truth, Demus was very happy that he finally had a purpose to hold onto in this life. However, it was so arrogant that it couldn't show it to that child. After all, it was older than an entire century.
Finally, Adrian had found a life purpose for himself. He decided to compile and organize the place he was in, to give his home a sense of order. He also reviewed the room where Adenos would stay. When he saw that there was only a bed and a wardrobe in the room, he smiled to himself. His brother was willing to stay in this simple room.
Oh, how wonderful it was to start creating a place in someone's life again. He remembered his parents; how much they loved each other, how they looked at each other with love, how they took care of each other, and how much they loved him. Yes, they had left this life in a terrible way. But he swore to himself that he would regain their driving spirit. He could see that he was ready and had a chance. Finally, a small glimmer of hope appeared on the horizon.
He glanced around once again and made a list of the items and materials he needed. He hoped Adenos wouldn't find his requests excessive. However, Aida had instructed him to contact Adenos, which meant he would fulfill his demands.
Then he began tidying up the house. This task took up almost his entire day. The only thing he owned for a long time was his cell, so he didn't need any order; he just had to concentrate and follow the rules to avoid getting beaten. His failure in this regard was evident from the beatings he endured. He decided to rid his mind of these negative thoughts. Everything was going to be fine.
The evening had arrived, and he finally felt exhausted after tidying up the entire house. As he headed to his room, he chuckled to himself, whistled, and decided to wait for Adenos.
