Chapter 45
“There’s been a breach”, Killian said, running into the room.
Brian rose up from his seat, covering his father’s face with a white cloth that rested on the edge of the bed. He kissed his hands, bidding him tht final farewell.
“Shit! He’s gone”, Jack said, walking into the room.
“Yes, he’s gone”, Brian said, quietly.
He stared at his father, remembering all the times he was there for him. He had done so much for son and at times, Brian even wondered if he was human.
“Oh my. May the moon goddess accept his spirit”, Killian said, bowing his head a bit.
Brian remained silent for several seconds as he allowed his heart get used to his father’s demise. He knew that it wouldn’t be easy, knowing that this was the only parent he knew for more than half of his years in life.
“Boss… He’s gone. We need to move, the attackers are advancing”, Jack said, gripping his shoulder.
Brian took a deep breath. He knew he was right and now, it was time to stop mourning and start fighting. His father has lived his life and now, it was time to live his. He knew that soon, he would be crowned Alpha by the moon goddess and if he wanted to live up to that title, he needed to start acting it now.
“Where are the enemies advancing from?”, Brian said, finally.
“Tht North wing. I’ve stationed a lot of security at the entrance of each point so no one gets in or comes out”, Killian.
“Thank you. Do people know of this attack yet?”.
“As at this moment, no. We don’t want to cause unnecessary fear which may result in a stampede so it’s best they no nothing about it”, Jack said.
“Good, that’s very good”, Brian said, quietly.
At that moment, there was more thunder claps as the rains threatened to fall. Brian touched his father’s legs which had already gone cold. He knew that when he left here, there would be no more thoughts about his father. It would be a closed chapter in his life and he didn’t know if he was ready to begin that chapter.
“Alright, let’s go”, Brian said.
He walked out of the room, shutting the door firmly behind him. As he made his way towards the North wing in company of his best friends, he could hear bullets raining down on the building. Brian vowed to deal with anyone who didn’t want peace to reign especially on a night like this.
“But boss, how do we go out to attack. We’re not expected to come out on a night like this for fear of loosing our wolves”, Killian said.
Brian thought long and hard about this. He knew that he was right but try as he may, he couldn’t think of a solution to this.
Just then, an idea popped in his head and he blessed the moon goddess for coming to his rescue when it seemed like he was loosing his mind.
“Are all the guests in the grand hall?”, he asked.
“Yes”, Jack said.
“Perfect. Lock them in, make sure no one comes in or goes out”, Brian ordered.
“Already done”, Killian said, tapping his phone.
“We’re going to lure the attackers to an area where ths guests wouldn’t get hurt and fight them there. It’s better that way”, Brian said.
“It’s more like we’re trapping them in right?”, Jack said.
“Exactly. We’ll divert their attention away from the guests. I need more men, trusted men who would help us. We can do it alone”, Brian said.
“I’m on it boss”, Jack said.
Few minutes later, several men in suits walked into the room where the trio where. Brian was glad that he requested for additional security as a precautionary measure at the earliest stage now, he had something to fall back on.
“Let’s move”, Brian ordered.
“Brian!”, a voice said.
Brian whipped his head around and discovered it was his mate. Serah walked towards him in all her glory and at that moment, Brian wished he could take her into his arms and show her how much he truly loved her.
“You all proceed, I’ll be with you shortly”, he said.
The men left the room, battle ready. Serah gripped his hands, staring at him and at that moment, he knew that she had sensed something.
“Alpha Frederick, your dad?”, she croacked.
Brian sighed, stroking her hair. Her instinct were very sharp and once again, he was grateful to be mated to her.
“No. I’m so sorry Brian”, Serah sobbed.
“It’s okay. He’s lived his life and now, it’s time to live mine”, he smiled, sadly.
Serah kissed him, her tears mixed with his. Brian gripped her tighter, pouring all his pain, love and sadness into that kiss. He was grateful to have someone he could hold, someone he could fall back on when the storm hits the roof.
“I’m coming with you”, Serah said.
“No honey, you can’t. It’s too dangerous”, Brian said.
“I don’t care. I’m coming with you”, she said, stubbornly.
“Serah, please listen to me for once. I’m your Alpha”, Brian seethed.
He didn’t know why she was so stubborn but deep down, he loved it. Someone like his mate couldn’t be fooled easily.
“And I’m your mate. I’ve got powers to and so I could be a great help”, she said.
“You make a good argument. Alright, you can come”, Brian said.
That earned him a kiss. He laughed, spinning her in the air. His mate knew just how to lift his spirits and he was greatful for that.
“I knew you’d accept it”, Serah giggled.
“That’s because you’re hard to resist”, Brian said.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
They walked towards the battle point together, hand in hand. At that moment, Brian knew that nothing could separate them and the love they had for each other. It was deep rooted.
“One more thing love”, Brian said.
“Hmm”, Serah smiled.
“I meant what I said earlier, I won’t die without your permission”, he said.
“I fully intend to keep that promise too”, Serah chuckled.
“Then let’s go and kick butts”, Brian said.
“And then make sure you don’t die”.
“Never without your permission”.
