Chapter 6
“Man, you wouldn’t believe what I just went through”, Brian groaned.
Jake and Killian had walked into the office half an hour ago. After sorting out the immediate problem, the duo decided to relax a bit before heading over to their crib.
“What?”, Jake said.
He was dressed in grey slacks over a white open collared shirt. Killian on the other hand was dressed in dark blue short over a red t-shirt. Both of them were comfortable in their clothes while Brian desperately wished he could shed his Armani suit and be free.
“Benita, that’s freaking who”, he said.
“Wait… Bitch was here? What’s her business here”, Killian said.
“I was surprised too when she popped up on my door. She had a sob story of missing me and all those crap but as the smart man I am, I knew she was lying the minute she walked in here”, Brian said.
“Man, you need to be careful how you deal with her. This girl might have a personal vendetta against you even though she has no reason to. Just be careful man, Benita could be a threat”, Jack said.
He was always the serious one and at that moment, Brian was grateful because in moments like this he needed someone asides himself who took everything seriously. Killian on the other hand was a good friend but he tends to take everything as a joke. He was the fun in the party but Brian knew that this wasn’t the time to joke.
“I know and I perfectly understand which is why I’m glad I’ve finally found my mate”, Brian grinned.
Killian almost fell out of his chair while Jack gave an ear splitting grin. Brian could tell that they were surprised by this because none of them ever expected him to have a mate this early.
“No shit?”, Jack grinned.
“No shit. She’s beautiful, you need to see her”, Brian laughed.
“Do we know her?”, Killian asked.
“Serah, she’s an hybrid. Half witch, half wolf”.
“Okay… That wasn’t expected but I’m happy you’ve finally gone off the market. An hybrid isn’t one to be played with, I hope you can stay in your pants dude”, Killian laughed.
Brian huffed, he knew that they would say this but he was fully ready to commit himself to her. He was her mate same with her and he vowed to stay true to her no matter what happens.
“An hybrid isn’t one to cross man, stay sane. I’m saying this because I know how crazy you can be especially when you see a beautiful woman”, Jack said.
“Trust me guys, I have no intention of hurting Serah. She has everything I need in a mate and more. I’ll arrange a meeting soon so you guys can get to meet her but for now, she’s all mine”, Brian grinned.
“No pressure man”, Killian smiled.
“So, what’s the recent development concerning business most especially the consignment”, he said.
“You wouldn’t believe what I discovered”, Jack said.
“Shoot”, Brian said, sitting back on his chair.
“Remember when I said there were some forces holding unto the consignment? Well, I discovered that those forces were our archenemy, the demon pack”, Jack said.
The office went silent as Brian tried to understand what Jack had just said. The demon pack were the most feared group in the whole of New York City. Their operations were legendary and the only people who could openly challenge them was Brian and his pack.
The demon pack, headed by Alpha Wilfred was a deadly group that was responsible for most killings and destructions in the city but the naive humans didn’t know that and blamed it on terrorists when in fact, the demon pack were the actual terrorists.
“Any solution yet?”, Brian said.
He couldn’t afford that consignment to land in the hands of Alpha Wilfred, a man he hated with every fiber of his being. Wilfred had crossed his path several times before and Brian was patiently waiting for the day he could destroy him once and for all.
“Yes, I’ve called for a meeting between the two groups that is we and them”, Jack said.
“That’s bullshit Jack and you know it. That consignment belongs to me, why should I have a meeting with Wilfred over my own property. Pure bullshit Jack”, Brian thundered.
He was on his feet, pacing about as his mind thought desperately on what to do. He had no doubt that the meeting would end in a disaster since he and Wilfred never seemed to see eye to eye.
“Brian, sit your ass down and listen to me”, Jack said.
Brian reluctantly sat down as he gave Jack the stink eye. For the life of him, he couldn’t understand why Jack of all people had to set up that meeting, knowing fully well that he and Wilfred were enemies.
“Do you honestly think that you can fight Wilfred over this. For God’s sake Brian, they’re as powerful as we are and the only way we can talk this out is by having a meeting on both sides”, Jack said.
“To be honest, I agree with Jack. Talk to Wilfred to rescind his hold on your consignment and you’ll get it easily. We all know that Wilfred likes to throw his weight around and this is one of those moments”, Killian said.
“Are you guys even listening to yourselves. For crying out loud, that consignment belongs to me. Why should I meet Wilfred over my own property”, Brian seethed.
“They are just as powerful as we are. And Brian, you’re missing one tiny detail, that consignment passed through their turf”, Jack said.
“I don’t care if they’re powerful or what not. All I know is that I’ve got more guns than them”, Brian said.
“Well yes, that is true. Look, we’re not here to match strength or power, all I’m saying is you meet with the man and talk things out, that’s all”, Killian said.
For a long while, Brian remained quiet as he thought about everything they had said. He hated to accept it but he saw sense in what they said. Wilfred wasn’t like the petty group he dealt with, he was as stubborn as he was and the only way he could get his consignment back from him was to apply wisdom.
“Alright, when is this meeting supposed to hold”, he said, finally.
“Tomorrow evening at the casino. I’ll put added security by all the exits and entrance incase Wilfred decides to try anything funny”, Jack said.
“Alright but I swear it, if Wilfred decides to play gun, I’ll give him bomb”, Brian vowed.
By now, he could feel his wolf threatening to break to the surface. His wolf hated him as much as he did and he was glad they were on the same page. It made it easier knowing that someone in him shared the same idea.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
“It won’t get to that, trust me”, Killian said.
Brian nodded, he had nothing else to say as his mind took over from where his words stopped. He could only hope that Wilfred holds the meeting without any tricks. Brian wasn’t a murderer like Wilfred and he didn’t want to hurt anyone during their confrontation.
Later on, his friends left while he was left all alone in his office, staring at the fading sun. He had a lot to do especially as the leader and he vowed to achieve that at all cost.
