Chapter 67
“They are here”, Killian said.
The sound of gun fire grew louder as it slowly advanced towards the building. By now, there was panic as the guests didn’t know what was going on. A lot of them had already shifted into their wolf forms as they knew that a battle was imminent.
“Get Serah out of here”, Brian said.
He removed the veil that was attached to his suit, handing it over to a panicked servant who stood there in fright.
“What! Are you crazy, I’m staying”, Serah hissed.
Brian pulled out his gun that was tucked into his trouser pants as he reloaded a rifle that Killian handed him.
“For once in your life, just do what I say”, Brian seethed.
“And leave you here? Not a chance honey”, Serah said.
Brian looked at Jack and the latter knew just what to do. He pulled out a pen from his side pocket, shooting a little dart towards Serah who was too late to block the attack. She fell with her eye rolled back. That was the only way Brian knew she could leave without getting hurt. The drug laced within that dart would wear off after many hours. By then, Brian knew the battle would be over.
“Take her to the palace, it’s more secure than the mansion. Station a lot of guards there and make sure you only put people you trust”, Brian ordered.
“Yes boss”, Killian said.
Brian walked towards an unconcious Serah, giving her a gentle kiss. He knew he would pay for what he had done but he ready as that was better than seeing her dead body as a result of the battle that was imminent.
Killian carried her away, promising to come back soon so he could join the battle. When they left, Brian offered a silent prayer to the moon goddess to grant them success.
“What’s new?”, Brian asked.
“Armor tanks. Wilfred is fucking bringing armor tanks”, Jack said.
“Have you called for backup?”, Brian asked.
“Yes, but they wouldn’t be here for another hour”, he said.
“Shit! That’s too long. It’s enough time for Wilfred to do whatever he wants”, Brian said.
“If I were you, I wouldn’t have sent Serah off”, Jack said.
“What do you mean? And have her killed, you know that’s damn well near impossible”, Brian said.
By now, the sounds of the gunfire was much more closer than before. Brian knew they were outside, just waiting for the first strike from within but he vowed never to give them that satisfaction.
“Evacuation is almost done. We’re waiting for it to be completed before we take the next line of action”, Jack said.
“Call the back up, tell them to be here on time, we don’t have all day”, Brian snapped.
He knew Wilfred was getting to him but he couldn’t stop it. He knew he had to stop soon as his hatred for him could blind him into doing something he might end up regretting.
“They’re almost here, calm down Brian”, Jack said.
Just then, Killian came in. Brian was relieved to see that Serah wasn’t with him. He half expected her to wake up and protest her abduction but he was glad that Killian came alone.
“She’s okay boss, still knocked out by the drug”, Killian said.
“I hope there wouldn’t be any side effects?”, Brian said.
He didn’t know what he’ll do if Serah wakes up with one deformity or the other as a result of the tranquilizer.
“No boss, there wouldn’t be any”, Killian said.
“Back up is here”, Jack said.
“Oh good, let’s go”, Brian said.
“We have another problem”, he said.
“Let’s hear it”, Brian sighed.
“We can’t fight here. This building is a holy ground, a temple for the elders who commune with the moon goddess. Fighting here would be a disrespect to her and the whole elders”, Jack said.
“He’s right boss. I think we should take this fight elsewhere”, Killian said.
“But where? We know very well Wilfred is a cunny and smart idiot who would even want to fight here for the fun of it”, Brian said.
“Then we must do everything to lure him out of here”, Jack said.
“Let’s go, we’ll figure it out along the way”, Brian said.
The trio moved towards where the backup was stationed. Brian was glad to see that help was finally here, he had no doubt that he would send Wilfred back to his cave where he truly belonged.
“We have to be fast”, Killian said.
Brian armed himself to his teeth as he walked towards where Wilfred and his men were, waiting for the final onslaught.
“Nice to see you’ve finally decided to join the party”, a voice said.
Brian knew who that voice belonged to and he knew it was closer to him than he imagined. Oddly, he wasn’t scared or frightened instead he was ready to beat the daylight out of the demon leader.
“Wilfred, how lovely to see you. What brings you to my coronation?”, Brian said.
“This should be my coronation, not yours. I should be the leader and Alpha of the whole pack and you bloody well know it”, he shouted.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
“I am now and too bad you’re not. Now Wilfred, I’ll advise you to leave this instant before I do something tragic to you”, Brian seethed.
“I’m not a coward who would run from a fight, I’m here to take what rightfully belongs to me and there’s nothing you can do about it”, Wilfred seethed.
By his calculation, he knew that the minions who stood by him were numbering up to a hundred and any wrong move on his path could lead to a total bloodshed. Brian was trying desperately to avoid that but Wilfred was proving a bit too difficult to move.
“Wilfred, leave now before I do something drastic”, Brian seethed.
“Bring your A game Brian or are you suddenly scared of facing me”, Wilfred mocked.
“Let’s take this somewhere else”, Brian said.
“No, I want the fight here”, Wilfred said.
Brian walked towards him, guns drawn. There was a death glare in his eyes and he was glad when he saw the flash of fear in Wilfred’s eyes before it was gone.
Just then, something caught his attention. Brian looked closely at the gun one of the attackers was carrying. He blinked to get a clearer view but he had already seen it. The gun belonged to Brian and he knew what had happened. The army chief had supplied these ammunitions to Wilfred and his pack. Brian knew then that this battle was inevitable.
