Chapter 79
“I hope everyone is okay?”, Serah asked.
“I’m good”, Killian said.
“Me too”, Jack said.
Brian remained silent as he stared at his mate, a light smile on his lips. He couldn’t believe how brave she was as she fought beside him, fearless and brave.
“Brian, are you alright?”, Serah smiled.
“You know I’m fine as long as you are, and seeing you alive now proves to you that I’m alive. So yeah, I’m okay”, he grinned.
Serah rolled her eyes, going over to give him a kiss. She wrapped her hands around him as she vaguely saw Jack and Killian take their leave. This was all she wanted, this safety and love she felt just by having her hands around him.
“Thank you for standing by me”, Brian said.
“I’ve told you not to thank me. It’s my duty as your mate and the woman you love so, there’s no need to thank me”, Serah smiled.
Brian pulled get towards a double seater couch, setting her on his laps. He stroked her hair, loving that way it was soft to his touch. Serah sighed, resting her head on his chest. This was her safe place and there was no where else she wanted to be.
“I’ll get to the root of all our troubles”, Brian vowed.
“Darling, you really can’t solve them all. You’re the Alpha and troubles are bound to rise especially since you’ve got new enemies”, Serah said.
“And the first on our list is Wilfred. I can’t wait to end him once and for all. He’s giving me a headache and I really do not like it”, Brian said.
“Patience my dear. You’ve waited all these while, there’s nothing you can do but to wait”, Serah said.
“That’s true. Which reminds me, where on Earth did you learn to drive like that?”, Brian asked.
A red tinge of colors clouded her face as she tried to look everywhere else asides him. Brian could tell that she was shy about something but he couldn’t figure out what that was.
“Just spit it out Serah, I won’t judge you”, Brian chuckled.
“Okay, well this might sound odd but my ex-boyfriend taught me everything I needed to know about driving”, she said.
She blushed fiercely, trying to hide her face away from him. She didn’t know how he would react but what she wasn’t expecting was the deep chuckle that filled her ears.
“Wait? You’re not jealous?”, she asked.
She couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw the wide grin that filled his face. His grin grew when he saw the look on her face.
“No, I’m not because I know he doesn’t mean anything to you and secondly, I’ve done far worse things than that. Come to think of it, that’s not a bad thing. In fact, I appreciate him for teaching you that useful skill”, Brian smiled.
“Whew, for a second I thought you were ready to find this guy and pound into his face. But it just shows you’re getting used to this”, Serah laughed.
“Careful there… That doesn’t mean I wouldn’t beat the living daylight of any man who looks at you wrong”, Brian said.
Serah felt warm inside her as she reveled at the protective feeling that enveloped her just by those words.
“I know and that’s why I try so hard not to be in the midst of men for fear of you bashing their faces”, she chuckled.
Just then, Brian’s phone beeped, indicating he had a message. Swiping the screen, he discovered that it was a message from Jack who informed him that there was something important for them to discuss about.
“Jack needs my attention”, Brian said.
“Okay, you go. I’ll be fine here”, Serah said.
“You sure?”, Brian asked.
He didn’t want to leave her here but he knew he was being paranoid because his club was as safe as the White House.
“Okay, I’ll be with the guys incase you need anything”, Brian said.
Brian rose to his feet, heading towards where Jack and Killian were. He walked into the room to see their faces filled with an expression Brian didn’t quite understand.
“What’s wrong?”, Brian asked.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
“We just got the information that professor Handel and his wife are in the city”, Killian said.
“Shit! This is not good, Serah mustn’t know about this”, Brian said.
He paced about, searching for a solution to what he could do to avoid her seeing them. No doubt, she would be furious if she got to learn that the people whom she had callers her parents were at a close distance to her.
” I have a feeling she’ll go after them once she finds out their here”, Jack said.
“Damn well she will”, Brian said.
“We’ll think about that later but first, we have to find out why they’re really here”, Killian said.
“It’s obvious, they’re regrouping. Wilfred and all his agents are planing something and I have a feeling that it’s going to be huge”, Brian said.
“Then we have to be prepared, we can’t go into a battle with them like this, we’re short on guns and the minute they strike, we’re dead meat”, Jack said.
“Of course, I know that. Remember I requested for guns last week? They would be arriving this weekend”, Brian said.
“Sweet”, Killian chuckled.
“But Brian, I noticed one thing. Why don’t you want to make use of your father’s guns when it’s clearly yours now”, Jack said.
“I think it’s something sacred that should be kept for a while. I’m not saying I wouldn’t use it but just not now”, Brian said.
“Okay. So what do we do about professor Handel and his wife?”, Killian asked.
“Let’s watch them for now, any slight change on their schedule, we take them down”, Brian said.
“Okay, I’ll station plain clothed security men to stay around their house and watch their every movement”, Jack said.
“That’s much better. Thank you”, Brian said.
“I have a feeling that we won’t need to wait for long. Professor Handel and his wife would be in our net soon and as soon as they’re in, we deal with them”, Killian said.
“Yes. Any news on Wilfred, I hate it when he’s always silent”, Brian said.
“No, nothing yet. I’ll inform you the minute I get something on him”, Jack said.
“Thank you”, Brian said.
He sat down on the couch, thinking about the next line of action to take against the demon pack.
