Mated To An Hybrid

“Darling”, a voice drawled.

Brian knew who that voice belonged to. He looked around and sure enough, Benita sashayed towards him in one of the tightest dress he had ever seen her wear. All her curves were on full display and he had an inkling that most of the men had a hard time keeping their eyes of her.

“Hello Benita”, Brian said, curtly.

He was trying so hard to desperately keep his eyes off her but he was loosing the battle, Benita was a spell, a goddess who had the power hold men captive.

“Hey love”, she drawled.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

She moved towards Brian, flicking his hair seductively. She purred, stroking his shoulders as she batted her lashes.

Brian took a step back, giving her the much needed space he required. Benita was surprised by this but she smiled to cover up her annoyance.

“Is anything the problem?”, Brian snapped.

“Why must something be wrong before I come to see you”, she said.

Brian looked up at that moment to see Serah talking with Andrew. He couldn’t understand the rage he felt but he simmered down because he was didn’t want to spoil his evening with petty jealousy.

“I see your mate is hooked up with another Andrew”, Benita chuckled.

She took a glass of wine from a passing waiter, sipping it delicately as she stared at Serah. Brian had the urge to rip her eyes out because she didn’t deserve to look at his mate.

“If you have nothing important to say, I will take my leave”, Brian hissed.

Serah chuckled, walking towards him. She placed her palms on his shoulders, stroking his chest. Just then, Benita let out a piercing scream. Brian stared at her and discovered her hair was on fire. Like an instinct, he looked towards the direction where his mate was and found her smiling, blowing smoke from get fingertips.

Brian chuckled, trying to reign down his laughter. Serah was one to never relent on a promise. She promised to set Benita’s hair on fire if she so much as move within an inch to where her mate was and now, she was making good with her promise.

“I’ll get you for this”, Benita screamed, pointing at Serah.

Benita left in anger, screaming profanities at people who dared to stop her. Brian could tell she was livid but he just didn’t care.

Serah blew her a kiss, a wide grin on her face. Brian’s laughter was out now as he held his side, trying to control himself.

“Your mate is one hell of a fighter”, Jack chuckled.

“You have no idea”, Brian smiled.

At that moment, he just wanted to scoop her in his hands and kiss her senseless. He was proud of her for standing up for him when she could easily have resulted to jealousy.

“Is everything going on well?”, Brian said.

He couldn’t help it. He would always feel paranoid especially when he was within a gathering. He always felt this fear associated with being in a place with people who he wasn’t so familiar with.

“Yes. Nothing is amiss”, Jack said.

“Good. Thank you, please keep your eyes and ears open”, Brian said.

Jack nodded , walking away. Brian headed to a large table where most of the wolves were settling down for a meal. He walked towards his father who sat the head of the table, talking with an elderly wolf Brian had come across a certain time.

He stopped for a minute, staring at his father. He hated to imagine it but his father had aged twice as much since the last two days he saw him. There were new lines on his face which wasn’t there before and when he laughed, he seemed to shake vigorously.

“Father, are you we’ll?”, Brian whispered.

He didn’t want to make it obvious especially to the other wolves that his father was Ill. Wolves had pride and Brian made sure that his father’s and his were protected.

“To be honest son, I don’t feel so good”, Alpha Frederick said, sipping a glass of water.

Brian knew that he was only putting on a brave front so he wouldn’t appear weak in front of the other wolves. He took the chair beside his father, sipping a glass of wine. He tapped his feet in quick succession in tune with the orchestra that stood in a corner of the large hall. He couldn’t help it, he knew that something bad was about to occur but he couldn’t quite place his hands on what that was.

“Do you want to go upstairs to get some rest?”, Brian asked.

“I think I’ll take you up on that. I’m afraid my bones are too weak for partying”, he said.

Brian helped him to his feet, leading him towards the doors that led to the private quarters. Brian glanced at the main doors that led outside and he was glad they were firmly shut, there would not be going out or coming in. The full moon was set to appear in an hour’s time and Brian didn’t want any additional stress.

They got to his father’s room soon as Brian led him to the double poster bed that sat gingerly in the middle of the room. He noticed that his father relied heavily on his support which buttressed his point over his failing health.

“I’ll be good now”, Alpha Frederick said, removing his mask.

Brian removed his too, placing it on a nearby table. He wanted to stay with his father as much as he could because he had a feeling that this night might be the last night he got to speak with him.

“I’ll stay with you for a while before I head back”, Brian said.

“Your mate would miss you”, Alpha Frederick croaked.

“I’ve mind linked her, she knows I’m here”.

Alpha Frederick smiled, nodding his head. Brian stared at his father, wishing there was something he could do to ease the pain he was currently facing. He knew that ever since the stroke he suffered, his body had never remained the same.

“I remember vividly when me and your mother began life together. She was so full of hope and positivity, at times I relied on her’s to keep me going”, Alpha Frederick sighed.

“I miss mum. I miss her so much that at times, it hurts”, Brian sighed.

“We all miss her son. Your mother is the perfect example of a mate should be. I see her traits in Serah, she’ll be good for you”, Alpha Frederick said.

“Serah is a total ballgame entirely dad”, Brian laughed.

“She is but she has a heart of gold. I’ve seen her when she looks at you with pride and love in her eyes. Hold her close Brian and do not ever let her go”, he said.

“I won’t father, I promise”, Brian vowed.

“Thank you. I feel I won’t stay long, I feel weak”, Alpha Frederick said.

Brian gripped his hands, giving it a gentle squeeze. He fought valiantly to keep his tears at bay but he couldn’t as the first drop of tear fell from his eyes. Just then, loud thunder claps filled the sky and Brian knew his father was no more.
