Alpha Brian walked into his palace with his bodyguards who stood at attention as he walked in. He was one of the most important men in New York City, the heir to the throne and leader of the pack. His father, now an old wolf who was counting down to the day he would finally leave the earth and now, the pack business rested on Alpha Brian.
Brian was a tall hulking man with chest hair and a huge eagle tattoo adorning his lower back. His eyes were the colours of a midnight sky but when he was in his wolf form, it was black. As he walked into the palace, Brian couldn't help but marvel at all the things he had achieved at such a young age.
At only twenty six years of age, he could boast of companies spanning across the city and it's environs, top connections with government officials and to top the list, he was one of the most eligible bachelors in the whole city. This was something far beyond what he expected but when his success started pouring in, he reveled in it.
"Greetings Father", Brian said, bowing slightly.
Even though Brian's Father, Alpha Fredrick was old and gray, he was still the Alpha until the very day he dies. Brian walked towards where his father sat, taking his small hands which had shrinked over the years in his much larger ones.
"Is that you son?", Alpha Fredrick said.
His father's eyesight was failing and the older wolf had a hard time recognizing his people. He was helped by the palace maid since his mate, Brian's mother was long dead in a war that Brian hoped to erase from his memory.
"Yes, it's me father. Your eyesight is getting bad. Shall i call the doctor?", Brian asked.
"Not to worry son, there's no need. I would soon be joining my ancestors, it's only a matter of time", the old man chuckled.
Brian sighed. His father was fond of talking this way it wasn't new to him but still, he wished he wouldn't be reminded of the day he finally dies.
"Have you been fed father?", Brian asked.
"Yes. That maid you assigned to help me almost fed me too full. I can't blame her though, a man's got to eat when he can", Fredrick chuckled.
Brain laughed. Even though his father's health was failing, he still had his wits and charms with him.
"Son, the full moon is almost here. Even though my eyesight is almost dead, I can still feel it. You have to pick a mate soon, time is running out", Frederick said.
"Father, I'm sure before the arrival of the full moon, I will get mate. Don't worry about that, the Moon goddess has helped us so far and she would continue to do so", Brian said.
"Very well. I hope she's right on time this time", Frederick muttered.
"I need to get going now father, I have to take care of some things back at the office. Please call if you need anything", Brian said, rising to his feet.
"Sure my boy, I will".
Brian chuckled as he made his way out of the palace. The palace was designed to be hidden from plain view but those who had keen eyes could tell that there was something resting on the large expanse of land that sat on the outskirts of the city. His mind went back to what he had just discussed with his father. His father didn't know it yet but he had finally gotten a mate. Though she was proving hard to get, Brian had no worries that soon, she would bend to his needs.
Brian had no idea how all the women were head over heels in love with him. As far as he was concerned, all they wanted from him was his money and the connection he could bring forth. But Serah wasn't like that, she was the only one who wasn't moved by Brian's wealth or properties.
Brian looked through his message and discovered that some random girls were in fact coming over to his house to see him. Brian quickly deleted the messages and blocked their numbers before making a mental note to change his number. He couldn't have clingy girls following him around.
Carlos, his driver of five years was taking him to his office where he had some important deals to conclude when he heard a voice. Brian gripped his gun resting on a side pocket but he relaxed when he recognized the voice to be the Moon goddess.
"She's the one", an ethreal voice said.
Brian closed his eyes, bowing slightly as the Moon goddess floated in. Her long white hair was tied into a loose ponytail and her gown which was the purest white Brian had ever since floated behind her. She sat beside him as the limousine thundered down the road. He knew that Carlos couldn't see her because for one, the private glass was up and two, the Moon goddess only appeared to those she wanted to see.
Brian was a little self conscious as he sat with her. She was their goddess, the only one who breathed life into every unborn cub.
"Greetings Moon goddess", Brian said, bowing a bit.
"I have come not only because I have found a mate for you but because I have seen things, things that you need to know",the Moon goddess said.
Brian remained quiet not because he didn't know what to say but because it was customary to remain silent when she was speaking. Her news gave Brian quite a shock because he prided himself in knowing everything that was happening around him.
"You know who my mate is?", Brian asked.
He needed to be sure of what he heard. The Moon goddess smiled and she appeared to be glowing. Brian stared at his hands, not quite seeing it. His mind was in a whirlwind of thoughts.
"You have a mate. She would eventually become yours but there are certain things you need to know", the Moon goddess said.
Brian stared at her, her words were getting more confusing by the minute. He wanted to ask millions of questions but he had a feeling that the Moon goddess wouldn't be so patient to answer all of his questions. From all she had told him, he had to be prepared for whatever was coming his way.
"Remember, you're the future Alpha of this kingdom and the decisions you make now would one way or the other affect your rule. Be wise. Not to worry, I'll help you every step of the way", the Moon goddess said.
She left as silently as she came. Ronald stared into space as he mulled over the Moon goddess's words. The image of a young girl filled his mind, he had no doubt that that was the girl the Moon goddess was referring to. Serah, a girl he had secretly been lusting after had to be his mate. The only problem here was that Serah didn't care much about Alpha Brian. In fact she was the only girl in the entire city who wasn't affected by his charms and good looks.
If there was one thing he knew about her, she was very stubborn and not easy to convince. He was determined and he vowed to win her heart, he was certain that he would succeed. After all, he wasn't called the Alpha for nothing.
Serah could be stubborn but Alpha Brian would prove to her that he was more. He had no doubt and he could swear with every fiber of his being that Serah was his. He had caught her some times staring at him as he gave lectures and speeches in some organization.
Alpha Brian was smitten by her beauty which spurred him to go after her all the more. He was certain that with a little cajoling here and there, she would finally be his.
As his driver cruised down the highway, Brian's thoughts went to other things. The battle for supremacy with the other pack was brewing and he knew that a full fledged war was impending which further butressed his desire to get married to his mate so he could start a family before the other pack takes over.
Brian knew that it was only a matter of time before things began to move. He was determined not to fail and there was no telling what a determined man could do.
As Serah put the last batch of cookies to bake, there was a knock on her front door. She wasn't expecting anyone as her parents had already travelled to Georgia the previous day. Serah tied her jet black hair into a bun. She removed her apron, quickly washing her flour filled hands before moving to the door. Through the peephole, she discovered that Alpha Brian was behind the door. Serah couldn't understand what would warrant such visit as she had already made it clear that she didn't like him one bit."Or could he have a message from Alpha Fredrick for my dad?", Serah muttered.Even at that, she couldn't understand why Alpha Brian would come himself when they could send their numerous guards instead.Serah opened the door slowly, she didn't trust anyone, not even Alpha Brian. Ever since her brother died in the hand
Brian walked into his Mansion, ignoring the greetings from the workers. He was naked since he transformed back to his normal self but the workers dared not point this out to him since the expression on his face was grave. He barged into his room, slamming the door behind him."Moon goddess, I need you please", Brian said.There was silence as he waited for her to appear. After several minutes, Brian grew impatient."So you're just going to ignore me? Is that it, I thought you were better than this", Brian shouted.Just then, a blinding flash of light permeated the room. The Moon goddess appeared, looking resplendent as ever. She took a seat opposite Brian, staring at him. She knew he was going to summon her and the only reason she came was because she also ha
For several minutes, Serah remained quiet. She couldn't believe what Brian had just told her. Yes, she had this pull towards him but that was that. She never envisioned he would say something like this."How do you know this?", Serah asked.Brian pulled out the blue coral necklace from his side pocket, placing it on the table. Serah was entranced by it's beauty. She couldn't help but pick it up and when it was in her hands, the necklace glowed. The Moon goddess sure had a way of drawing people together, this just proved that Serah was his mate."I was right then. Why do you think I keep coming here? There's this pull I feel towards you", Brian said."This is unbelievable... I'm short of words", Serah gasped.
"Sir, you have a visitor", his secretary said.Brian looked up from the files he was working on as he stared at the intercom. His secretary was a tall young man, with salt and pepper hair who was just fresh out of college. Brian decided to employ a male secretary because they were easier to deal with than their female counterparts who thought they loved him.Brian wasn't expecting anyone else today except his friends who were due to arrive later in the evening and even if they were coming, he knew they weren't guests and wouldn't even bother to disturb his secretary, they'll just barge straight into his office."Who is it?",he asked."A Miss Benita sir".Brian groaned, that was his ex-girlfriend, someone he desperately didn't
"Man, you wouldn't believe what I just went through", Brian groaned.Jake and Killian had walked into the office half an hour ago. After sorting out the immediate problem, the duo decided to relax a bit before heading over to their crib."What?", Jake said.He was dressed in gray slacks over a white open collared shirt. Killian on the other hand was dressed in dark blue shorts over a red t-shirt. Both of them were comfortable in their clothes while Brian desperately wished he could shed his Armani suit and be free."Benita, that's freaking who", he said."Wait... Bitch was here? What's her business here", Killian said."I was surprised too when she popped up on my door. She had a
As Serah prepared to switch on the security lights, she heard a sharp knock on the door. It was pretty late for anyone to come visiting and her parents had informed her earlier that they wouldn't be coming back home anytime soon due to the amount of work they had to take care of.Serah prepped her magic, gradually bringing it to the surface. She wouldn't take any chances with her safety especially now that they lived in perilous times. Serah moved towards the front door, taking one step before the other. She checked the peephole but she couldn't make out anyone which only spiked her curiosity.She decided to be brave as she flung the door open. Instead of finding a human waiting at the other end of the door, what she saw was a big black wolf. The wolf was so huge that it nearly reached her shoulder."Who are you?",
The next day, Brian made his way to the palace. He needed to see how his father was faring especially with his failing eyesight. The meeting with Wilfred was slated for seven p.m that evening and Brian was not ready for it. Nevertheless, he planned to face him squarely like the Alpha he was."Son, is that you", Alpha Fredrick said.Brian met him in the large living room where he was sorting out a pack of cards. Brian couldn't understand how he was able to do this since his sight wasn't all that good. He smiled as he picked up some cards that had fallen to the ground, setting them gingerly on the table."Yes father, I'm here. I stopped by to see how you're doing this morning before I go into the office", Brian said."Well, your jolly old man is alive and well. I thi
Now at the office, Brian went through all the pending work he had concerning the consignment he was to get back from Wilfred. Earlier, Jack had given him a breakdown of everything he ought to say. He knew that one wrong word from him could jeopardize everything."Sir, you have a guest", his secretary beeped.Brian groaned, he never went a day without having guests. It's either it was from his pack or business associates who wanted one favor or the other."Who is it this time?",he growled.Brian's wolf was getting restless now and he knew that soon, he needed to take the beast for a run. It was long overdue."Andrew sir".Brian was surprised by this. The last time he saw Andrew was
"She's beautiful", Serah smiled."I know and I love her name even more, Ariane", Brian chuckled.It's been six months since the battle with Wilfred and six months since little Ariane was born. Ever since that day, Brian was thankful that he had succeeded in the battle even when it seemed as if he wouldn't. He had successfully switched off the timer at the last minute, saving his entire race which was at the brink of extinction."Are Jack and Killian recovering well?", Serah asked.She placed their infant child on the crib, petting her as they watched her fall asleep. They made their way out of the nursery towards the living room where they could talk without disturbing their daughter."Yes, they are. They're still in Russia where they'll need to undergo another surgery but I'm hoping for their swift recovery", Brian said.After the battle with Wilfred, his friends had nearly died from the wounds they sustained during the battle. Killian's was worse beca
"Nice of you to come out of your hiding Alpha Brian", Wilfred chuckled.Brian took a step forward just as he heard hundreds of armour tanks pull up at the garage of his Mansion. They were here, the reinforcements he desperately wanted were here and he knew that the battle with the demon leader would be a walk through the park."I wasn't hiding Wilfred, I was merely taking my time", Brian said.His wolf was itching to come out and tear the bastard into pieces but Brian wasn't ready yet, he wanted it to be the last thing. He wanted to give his wolf the pleasure of dealing with the demon leader himself."Then why did you have a change of mind. You could have stayed put so I'll find you myself then kill you", Wilfred chuckled."That's too boring, don't you think?", Brian smirked.Jack and Killian came out from their hiding, clutching their guns menacingly just as Antonio walked in. Brian gasped silently when he saw the state the poison master was in. His he
An hour later, Killian and Jack walked into Brian's mansion carrying bags of ammunition. Brian was glad to see that they were ready to battle and was quite assured that they would win the fight."Serah's gone", Brian said."It's for the best, We can't have her getting hurt considering the condition she is", Killian said."Yes. So what's the latest news?. To br honest, I expected Wilfred and his pack to have attacked since", Brian said."All has been quiet from my source but let's just be vigilant, I have a feeling he's planning a surprise attack", Jack said."Are the weapons here?", Jack said."Yes, the ones we could carry are here while the much bigger ones are downstairs in the garage. We also parked two armor tanks too courtesy of your father's ammos", Killian said."That's brilliant. I wish nothing happens to them, I'll love to return as new as it is", Brian said."Then just pray that this battle favors us. If not, you can kiss the tanks g
"How is the evacuation process?", Brian asked.He was on the phone with Jack who was giving him a detailed report on the evacuation that had began few hours ago. From what Brian could gather, some of the residents were finding it difficult to leave as they didn't quite trust them enough.Brian couldn't blame them though because if he was in their shoes, he would also find it difficult to leave a city you had become so used to."It's at it's final stage now, just a couple of hundreds before we're done. My source tells me that Wilfred and his gang would be attacking at the early hours of dawn", Jack said."Good, carry on. Please inform Killian to lock down the safe at the club then you guys should lock up. Head over here as soon as the evacuation is done, we'll fight from here", Brian said."Alright, we'll do. I hope Serah took the evacuation news well?", Jack asked."Yes. She's pregnant", Brian said.There was no use beating about the bush as Jack a
"No way man, you've got to tell her. She deserves to know everything", Killian said.After the mysterious man left, Brian had driven straight to the club. He needed to talk to someone about this and the only people he could trust where his friends."Where's Jack?", Brian asked."Behind the building. He went there for a smoke", Killian said."Alright. Listen man, there's something else", Brian said."What's up? What's the problem?", Killian said.From the look on his friends face, he knew that something else was going on. He had never seen Brian looked so distressed and confused all at a time."It's Jack's sister", Brian said."Wait! Don't tell me she's dead", Killian said."She is. I got a letters from Wilfred today", Brian sighed.He fished inside his pocket for the letter, handing it over to Killian who read through with a horrified look on his face."Oh my gosh! Jack is going to be crushed", Killian said."That's why we
Back at the club, Brian instructed his friends to take care of the evacuation process as he had to get back to the office for something important.As he walked into his building, he stopped to think for a minute that he hadn't really been here for sometime. The private club was like his office and Brian couldn't explain it but he was comfortable there than in any other place."Good day sir", the secretary said.Brian had missed the trusty old face he had come to respect. The young chap kept the company running smoothly without little to no problem and for that, Brian was greatful."How are you?", Brian asked."Very fine Sir, thank you. There are some files I left on your table that needs your attention as soon as possible", he said."Alright, I'll look through it and send it back", Brian said.He walked towards his office, shutting the door behind him. He shrugged off his Jacket, hanging it on the chair. He took his seat on his office chair,
"Man, hurry up. We don't want to be late for this meeting", Jack said."I'll be at the club soon, I'm driving", Brian said.He was some minutes late which was caused by him trying to force Serah's secret out of her but as the stubborn woman she was, she refused to spill it.Brian got to the club soon and together, they left for the government house. Oddly enough, he was relaxed for the meeting and he knew it would go well. He was assured that the Governor would see the reasons behind they're plans.Deep down, Brian had vowed within himself to evacuate the people with or without the Governor's approval. He couldn't sit back and watch innocent people get killed by the tht bloody starving demons."We're here", Jack said.They drove slowly past the security gates heading towards the house where the governor and his family resided. The trio climbed out of the vehicle soon but were stopped for some security checks."We're clean", Brian said."
"Meeting's all set up for tomorrow by ten a.m sharp", Killian said."Alright man, thank you", Brian said.He was glad that the Governor had given him audience when he wasn't expecting him to. This just showed that the threat Wilfred had made was something that kept everyone on the edge."Still on the inventory. I should get the total number before the end of the day", he said."How is your mate. I hope she's okay?", Brian asked.When they were at work, Brian noticed that Jack hardly ever talked about her. He didn't know how their relationship was but one thing he was sure about is that he loved her."She's fine, the baby is almost here any moment from now so we're putting the final touches for their arrival", Jack smiled."They?", Brian asked."Yes boss, Jack is expecting twins. He's going to be a father of two bouncing cubs", Killian hollered."Oh my, that's so amazing. Serah would be really happy", Brian smiled."I bet. How is she
"Information just reaching me says that professor Handel and his wife would be staying at the same house they were the last time. I've already stationed some security men around the house, we're just waiting for them to do something unusual", Jack said.Brian paced about in the living room of his mansion. Serah didn't know anything that was going on and he wanted to keep it that way, informing her could be disastrous and that was something he desperately wanted to avoid."Okay, keep it under wraps. Make sure no one knows about this until we know the next line of action to take", Brian said."I will boss", Jack said before cutting the call."Keep what under wraps?", Serah yawned.She walked towards Brian still in her nightgown
