"We're in Paris", the pilot announced.
Brian nodded, removing his seatbelt. Jack was fast asleep, the wine knocking him out almost immediately. Ever since he had informed Jack about his sister's predicament, Brian had been thinking of ways he could help him rescue his sister. He wasn't comfortable to learn that she was still there.
"Jack, we're here?", Brian said, tapping him.
Jack woke up with a start, his hands going over to his side pocket immediately to retrieve his gun but when he saw it was only Brian and the pilot, he relaxed.
"I was out cold, damn. I'm never drinking again", he mummured.
"Shut it man, it was only two glasses. I'm sure you were so tired and badly in need of a rest", Brian said.
They got to the building soon and Brian was a bit surprised to see the large size of the building. True to Jack's words, security men were stationed all over the building. Brian and Jack instructed the men to stand in stationed places as they invaded the building.He was a bit surprised that he and Jack were able to infiltrate the building without any problem. They got to the entrance that led to other areas of the building. Jack took the right wing while Brian took the left.Slowly and steadily, Brian climbed up the steps leading to the vaults. Earlier, Jack had briefed him on where the vaults were kept and he had no issues discovering it. As Brian got to the entrance of the massive gold mine, his wolf growled within in."What's the problem?", Brian said."I can't e
"You have no right to call my line", Serah seethed.She had woken up so early to the loud sounds of her ringing tone blasting through her bedroom. In her haste to pick it up, thinking it was Brian, she had accidentally set a small part of the room on fire what with her magic going haywire."How dare you speak to your mother in such manner", she seethed."For your information mother, you stopped being my mother the minute you told me you didn't care about me so I see no reasons why you have to call me", Serah said.She worked a spell that cleared the room immediately of all smoke and debris even as she felt the choking sensation associated with fire accidents. This was all her mot
"Let's head back to New York tomorrow", Brian said.It's been a day since they invaded wilfred's lair and since they had gotten what they came for, Brian knew that there was no point staying any longer. Deto down, he knew that the main reason why he wanted to leave was because of what his mate told him about the previous day.Her mother calling her wasn't a good thing and Brian knew that anytime soon, they would be getting a visit from them. Try as he may, he couldn't still find out anything about them which left him unsatisfied and irritated. He was used to getting his answers but this felt like he wouldn't be getting it anytime soon."I thought you'd never ask", Jack sighed."Missing home already?", Brian chuckled."You bet
"The committee of elders are planning my coronation", Brian said.It was over a week since he had come back from his trip to Paris. He and his mate were at the breakfast table when he got the message through the mind link the elders sent around. Brian was a bit surprised that it was this soon but he knew the reason behind the urgency. Wilfred and his men were advancing and the earlier they crowned him as King of the entire five packs, the better for him.Brian couldn't afford for anything to go wrong in the State especially since he had gotten word that the government hunters were planning a search of all things they perceived not to be human. Brian wasn't bothered about this because he knew he could easily make his way out of it. What he was really bothered about was the coronation and what it could mean for the entire kingdom.
As Brian walked into his building the next day, he felt a sharp sensation in his head. He didn't know what it was about but he knew it couldn't be good as nothing related to that was ever good. His staffs greeted him but he simply waved his hands, not bothering to reply verbally.Brian had a lot of work to do that day and the earlier he gets on with it, the better for him and everyone else. He got into his office soon to meet Killian and Jack going through the documents they had brought from Paris."Anything yet?", Brian asked.He moved towards his seat, pulling his jacket. He was glad that his secretary had turned on the heater because at that moment, Brian was feeling chilly."Not yet. All I can say is the markings and writings here are not in English. They are from an
"Welcome son of Frederick", an elder said.Brian had arrived at the club belonging to the council of elders an hour earlier and was made to wait in the reception as they prepared to see him. He was looking refreshed and cleansed after the confrontation with Andrew."Thank you", Brian said.The men weren't old physically like most people expected them to be. In fact, there were some who were just like Brian. Brian wasn't fooled though, he knew that some of these men were as old as his father and the reason why they looked young was as a result of the spell most of them used to remain young.Brian wasn't concerned about this, all he wanted at that moment was to get out of there on time because they were giving him the creeps. The elders consisted of five men and the
Brian drove all the way to the club like a man who was on a mission. He was on a mission because he really wanted to know what Serah's parents had been in, all this while. He got to the club soon as he made his way to his office where he met his friends waiting."What's up?", Brian said.He took a seat, pulling out a bottle of cognac. He snatched a cup from the cup holder as he mixed a drink for himself."Tone down on the drink, you might want to stay sober for the news", Jack muttered."Just say it, I've handled bad news better when I'm dead drunk", Brian said.Killian chuckled, snatching the bottle of cognac from him. Brian protested and pleaded but they paid deaf ears to him."
When he got to his sprawling mansion, he sat inside his car for several minutes, thinking about way he could tell his mate the news he just heard.Few minutes later, he gathered the courage to climb out of his car. He made his way into his house, dropping his keys by the side table."Darling, I'm home", Brian said.He could feel her aura around the house but he didn't quite know where she was. He made his way to the kitchen but it was empty as there was no sign of her anywhere. He moved towards the library, where she was usually found since she loved reading a lot but she wasn't there either.Brian was beginning to get worried but he he remained calm since he could still feel her aura radiating around the area. He made his way towards the bedrooms, pulling his shoe
"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
