Chapter 46
When they got to the battle point, thru discovered that everything was already in motion. Killian and Jack fought bravely beside the other security agents. Serah joined in without another word, her powers taking hold of so many of the attackers, Brian couldn’t keep up.
“It’s the demon pack”, Jack growled.
Brian nodded, he wasn’t surprised by this as Wilfred had shown quite clearly that he never liked Brian and his pack. The only problem Brian and his pack had now was shifting. They couldn’t because it was the day the full moon would be seen. It was a special day, a say set aside to renew the covenant human had with wolves and no human was expected to shift.
“We can’t shift boss and they’re gaining on us”, Jack said.
“Then we use guns and with the help of my mate. We need to gather enough help as much as possible”, Brian said.
“Boss, the guns are not working on them”, Killian said.
“What do you mean?”, Brian growled.
He snapped the neck of an attacker, moving on to the next in quick succession. Brian could feel the strain on his body already but he dared not stop. He glanced at his mate and smiled. Serah was fighting bravely, dispelling her magic without fear.
“Bring the guns”, she screamed.
Quickly, the guards did her bidding as they brought their ammos. They placed it in front of her feet and right before their very eyes Serah transformed each gun to the demon’s pack weakness, ice. The guns were transformed in such a way that one bullet from it turned to ice midway which would blow the demons into smithereens.
“Good thinking mate”, Brian smiled.
Serah blew him a kiss as she transformed the last of the guns. Soon, Brian and his men overpowered the demon pack and the few who couldn’t escape were captured.
“We live to fight another day”, Brian said.
“Boss, what do we do to the remaining?”, Killian said.
“Gather them up and lead them to the dungeons. They have a lot of questions to answer”, Brian said.
“We lost some men”, Jack said.
Brian closed his eyes for a bit, saying a silent farewell to those who died. He knew that in every fight, there must always be casualties but his heart was never ready to accept it.
“How many?”, he asked.
“A hundred and counting”, Jack said.
“Okay. Let’s keep this a secret until after the full moon before we inform the families”, Brian said.
“Alright boss”.
“Where’s my mate?”, Brian asked.
Since the battle had ended, he hadn’t seen Serah. He feared the worse when he looked around but there was still no sign of her anywhere.
“Missed me”, Serah said.
She walked towards him with a small smile on her face. At that moment, Brian knew he could weep for joy just by seeing her.
“You bet I did”, Brian said, nozzling her neck.
“The moon is out”, a voice screamed.
Brian looked outside the window and sure enough the moon was out in all her glory. Brian couldn’t help but associate this with a promise from the moon goddess. A promise of safety and love amongst him and his entire pack.
“Let’s get out of here”, Brian whispered.
He led his mate towards the private area of the mansion but not before giving strict orders to his men to secure the area once more. Since the moon was out, the celebration was over as Brian watched each family pack leave the mansion.
He was glad that they didn’t know about the battle. If they knew, it could have been far worse than he imagined.
“Where’s your dad lieing?”, Serah asked.
“In his room”, Brian said, quietly.
Serah gripped his hand, silently reassuring him that everything would be okay. She felt his pain and desperately wished she could do anything to ease the hollow feeling in his chest.
“Can I go see him?”, Serah asked.
“Okay”, Brian croaked.
He led her towards the room, fighting desperately to keep his tears at bay. He hated to admit it to Serah but his father’s death was one he would never forget.
When they got to the room, Brian hesitated. He didn’t want to go in and be reminded about his father’s death and seeing his lifeless body.
“It’s okay. You can stay here while I go in”, Serah said.
“No… It’s fine, I’ll come”, Brian said.
They went in together and when Brian saw the space where his father was supposed to be, his heart broke all the more.
“The moon goddess has accepted his body”, Serah smiled, sadly.
“He’s gone forever”, Brian croaked.
He felt his wolf’s sadness but there was nothing he could do as they were both grieving. The only thing they could do was comfort each other and make sure they adjust to the new changes.
“I know but he lives here”, Serah said, touching his chest.
Brian sighed, gripping her hands just as the first tear fell from his eyes. In the presence of his mate, he could do anything because he understood her just like she understood him. They were two peas in a pod, together until eternity.
“It’s hard Serah but I’m trying to cope but it’s damn hard”, Brian said.
“I know but you just have to try for your sanity and everyone around you”.
“I don’t… He was here one minute and gone the next, it’s all so strange”, Brian sighed.
“I can feel him though, I can feel his spirit”.
“What… How”, Brian stuttered.
He didn’t understand any of it but he knew that with Serah’s heightened senses which was due to her being an hybrid, she could sense the souls of the dead.
“He’s happy Brian and he’s proud at what you just accomplished”, Serah smiled.
“Tell him I miss him”.
“He knows and he misses you too, he’ll always watch over you Brian so you have nothing to fear”, Serah said, giving his hands a gentle squeeze.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
“Thank you”.
“It’s okay honey, I’ll be watching over you too”, Serah vowed.
