Chapter 36
“Serah, I’ve been looking all over for you”, Brian sighed.
He finally found her at the back of the club, at the bleachers were she knew no one could find her. Her back was to him and with the way it shook, he knew that she was beyond angry.
“How long?”, she said.
Brian was confused as he racked his brain, trying to understand what she meant. Serah could be unpredictable at times and this was one of those moments.
“How long what? I don’t understand”, Brian said.
“How long did you and Benita date. How long Brian and don’t even lie to me or I’ll force the truth out myself”, she thundered.
If she was angry before, she was definitely livid now. Brian knew there was no form of apology that would reduce her anger. She caught him in a very compromising position and even a blind man could see that.
“Serah… I don’t think that matters”, Brian said.
Her back was still to him and Brian discovered with horror she was crying. He didn’t want to go near her for fear of him getting a blast of her magic. There was no telling what she’ll do now that she was beyond angry.
“Brian… Tell me the truth”, she said.
“Five years”, he whispered.
“So for five years, you’ve been with that whore and by my calculation, it’s been five years since you both broke up but yet you still allow her get to you?”, Serah croacked.
She turned to face him and Brian’s heart broke with the tears etched on her cheek. She folded her arms and the only reason she didn’t drop them was due to the fact that she was trying to control her emotions.
“I didn’t Serah, I swear it. She came on to me the moment you walked in. You should know that Benita is w conniving whore”, Brian said.
“I don’t care. All I know is that if you stood your ground, you wouldn’t have allowed her access to you”, Serah snapped.
“I’m sorry”, Brian said.
“It’s okay, I don’t need your apology. I only came here to tell you that your father seeks your attention at the palace”, she said.
“Please, tell him I’ll be there tomorrow”, he said, walking towards her.
She raised up an arm, taking a step back. Brian’s heart broke at this and he desperately wished he could turn back the hands of time and erase everything that had happened.
“Serah, you’ve got to believe me. I have nothing to do with her”, Brian begged.
“I’m not asking you to justify yourself Brian. I simply don’t want you close to me. I’ve delivered Alpha Frederick’s message and that’s all I came to do”, she said.
She walked past him, never for once allowing her body to touch his. She couldn’t trust herself not to go back on her words if her body touched his. Her body was a traitorous being and she didn’t have the energy to fight his hold.
“You know where to find me if you need me”, she said before walking out.
Brian slumped on the chair just as his friends walked in. He held his head on his hands as his thoughts took on different twists.
“She’s right you know”, Killian said.
“Don’t even start Killian. Let’s not go blaming Brian when we all know Benita is a conniving bitch”, Jack spat.
He hated her just as much as Brian and the only reason she was still around them was because they all belonged to the same pack.
“I don’t need this guys. Please, could you give me a few minutes, I need to think”, Brian said.
“Sure”, Killian said.
They filed out, leaving Brian to his thoughts. Just then, he felt a chilling presence and he knew that the Moon goddess was here.
“I warned you about this”, she said.
“Moon goddess, please not you too”, Brian huffed.
“I’m not here to do whatever your friends did, name blaming. But remember this was one of the challenges I warned you about. Brian, you will face greater challenges and it’s left for you to act wisely”, she said.
“Any solution to this?”, Brian huffed.
“Act wisely, that’s all”, she said.
We silently as she came, she left. Brian was left all alone now as his thoughts filled his mind. He knew that Serah was right, he allowed Benita a lot of privileges that was why she was misusing it.
“I’ve been so stupid especially when it comes to her”, he muttered.
“Yo Brian, could you come in here for a minute?”, Killian said.
Brian sighed, rising to his feet. Even though his whole life was in shambles, he still had a duty to protect his pack.
“What’s up?”, he said.
“The submarine for the consignment is ready but the boys at the port need your approval before they launch it”, Killian said.
“Give them the damn approval then”, Brian snapped.
Jack stared at him, before he fed the information to the receiver that connected the club to the port.
“You look like hell”, Killian chuckled.
“I feel like one too. I’ll be going to see my dad tomorrow that’s what Serah came to tell me, I’ll use that opportunity to ask him for help then let’s see how it goes”, he said.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Alright, do you need us to tag along?”, Jack asked.
“No, I’ve got this. You guys take care of everything here and at the office”.
“Got it boss”, Killian said.
“Anything yet on our attack on the building?”, Brian asked.
“Nothing asides police and press reports speculating on who could be responsible but as at now, no accusing finger has been pointed at us”, Jack said.
“That’s better. At least, one less poison warehouse to destroy the city and it’s people”, Brian sighed.
“Wilfred’s really advancing towards in terms of creating more gangs and buildings. We have to be careful with him, he’s our biggest rival”, Killian said.
“It would only take time but I know we’ll deal with him. He can’t escape this time around”, Brian said.
“If we’re smart about it”, Jack said.
“We will and this time, there’ll be no mistakes”, Brian vowed.
This was going to be the last battle and he’ll make sure of it.
