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
Over the next few weeks, things had been relatively quiet with Brian much to his discomfort. According to him, when things were quiet, it only meant that something disastrous was about to occur. Brian wasn't used to staying quiet, he was an action man, a man who was always on the move and staying like this was very odd.Last week, he had successfully introduced Serah to his father much to the old man's delight. He and Serah blended well like they had known each other for a long time.Asides that, he had finally convinced her to move in with him. He used her safety as an advantage and he couldn't believe his luck when she finally moved in."Sir, a woman is coming up to your office", his secretary said.Brian slammed his pen on the table, getting frustrated by the number o
"Brian, we need you at the club now. Something just came up", Killian said over the phone.Brian sat up in his home office. He was at home that day, trying to sort out some things that didn't require him to be at the office."What's the deal Killian?", Brian said."Just come, I can't say it over the phone", he said."Fine, I'll be there in a few", Brian said before cutting the call.He sighed, placing his hands on his head. Few minutes later, the door to his home office opened and even before she spoke, Brian could tell that his mate was there.His wolf pranced about, happy to see their mate. Serah walked towards him, placing a gentle hand on his shoulder.
"What the fuck is going on", Brian thundered, whipping out his gun.Jack and Killian did the same as they crawled towards a secret exit by the corner of the office. Brian pushed open the door, dodging bullets that flew by him. They successfully made it outside, hiding behind cars as a shield."This is unexpected. Jack, any clue about who is behind this?", Killian said."No idea but I've radioed for added security", he huffed.The bullets rained down with more force as pellets destroyed everything it touched. The trio dodged more bullets that came their way. Soon, the faces behind the bullets revealed themselves. The men were dressed in black and they walked towards the exact spot where Brian and his friends were hiding."Shit
"We have a meeting with the military governor next week. The old man is requesting some arms", Killian said.It's been two weeks since the attack at the club and Brian was a bit happy that security had been beefed up. They still didn't know who was behind that attack as the only surviving invader had died that night."How much is he asking for this time?", Brian asked.They were regular suppliers of arms to the military government. Even though it really wasn't allowed, Brian still found a way to deliver the goods to those who needed it."A little close to a million", Jack said.Brian sat back in his chair. The request this time around was huge. This was much bigger than the ones they usually supplied. Not that they weren't ca
"Should we be worried about those words?", Serah asked.Brian was at home, sipping a glass of martini. He recounted everything that had happened to her and he could tell that she shared the same concern with him. Wilfred wasn't known to say something when he didn't mean it and this only proved that he was warning them about something.Brian was perplexed because he didn't understand why someone he hated would warn them about something if he didn't have an ulterior motive."That's what I'm trying to understand. To be honest darling, I don't know what to think anymore. Wilfred could be so cunny and at the same time wise. That's what makes him a great leader of his pack", Brian said."I'll tap into my magic later on and find out where we stand. Baby, please don't worry abou
"When did this happen?", Brian growled.As soon as he got the call about his father's failing health, Brian had driven like a mad man towards the palace. Serah tried comforting him but that proved abortive as all of Brian's mind was hooked on his father."About two days ago sir but it only got worse today", the nurse said."Two days? Two whole freaking days and you deemed it fit to tell me this now", Brian shouted.Serah placed a hand on his shoulder, giving him the comfort he needed. The nurse wasn't at fault in this and the main reason why Brian screamed was just to channel his aggression to somebody else and the nurse was a suitable candidate.Brian stared at his mate as every semblance of peace and quiet came back to him.
"So you're saying you pissed off your mate and now she's angry with you", Killian said.Brian had gotten to his house about an hour earlier, crashing into the sofa. Now, he felt like shit for pissing his mate off. He knew he was at fault but he realized it late and now, he didn't even know what his mate was thinking or doing which was worse than when he was with her."Don't make me feel worse than I already am", Brian groaned."Well, that's my plan. Brian, you need to get your shit together and go apologize to her. To be honest, she's right on this one. You need to keep your temper in check especially when shit hits tht roof", Killian said.Brian hated to think that he was right. This was exactly the same thing Serah had said and now, he was hearing it the second time.
"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
