Chapter 13
"We have a meeting with the military governor next week. The old man is requesting some arms", Killian said.
It's been two weeks since the attack at the club and Brian was a bit happy that security had been beefed up. They still didn't know who was behind that attack as the only surviving invader had died that night.
"How much is he asking for this time?", Brian asked.
They were regular suppliers of arms to the military government. Even though it really wasn't allowed, Brian still found a way to deliver the goods to those who needed it.
"A little close to a million", Jack said.
Brian sat back in his chair. The request this time around was huge. This was much more bigger than the ones they usually supplied. Not that they weren't capable, it was all a matter of security. Sending goods as sensitive as arms and ammunitions were bound to draw in attention and that was something Brian desperately wanted to avoid.
"We need to have this meeting. We can't possibly supply that large amount of goods to the governor, it's bound to draw in attention", Brian said.
His wolf was restless now and when he was, it usually meant something wasn't right. Brian calmed him down, silently reassuring him that he was capable of handling whatever it was that came his way.
"I agree. This is an unusual request", Killian chipped in.
"What day has been slated for the meeting?", Brian asked.
"On a Friday. The governor wouldn't be available on all the other days except that day", Jack said.
"Alright, put it for 3p.m. I need to take my woman on a dinner date later that day", Brian grinned.
Jack and Killian chuckled at their friend's lovestruck look. They were happy that he had finally found someone who completed him. Not only that, it was someone who was more than his match, an hybrid who could match his temper.
"How is she by the way?", Jack asked.
"To be honest, she's been trying to stay strong. The attack at the club really shook her so she's been trying to recover", Brian sighed.
"She's a strong woman Brian, don't you worry about her. She's a hybrid after all. Her strength almost matches yours", Killian said.
"Yeah, I know that. So Jack, what about you? When did you plan on telling me about your incoming pup", Brian chuckled.
Once again, Jack grew red in the face. Brian couldn't believe that the strong willed man suddenly became a chicken at the mere mention of a child.
"Jack goes all mushy when we talk about his child", Killian grinned.
"We only just discovered about two moons ago. I wanted to tell you but the attack happened and I didn't get any chance again", he said.
"Well, I'm glad the baby is on it's way. You'll soon become a father Jack, I'm so proud of you", Brian grinned.
"Yeah... Yeah", Jack chuckled, rolling his eyes.
"Killian, what about you? Have you found your mate?", Brian laughed.
The trio knew that Killian would rather eat his head than find someone who matched his character. For one Killian was very selective especially when it came to his choice of partners, he preferred to settle for a girl who wasn't known that women whom the whole country knew.
"Still searching but I believe I'll find her soon", he said vaguely.
Brian decided to let him be. He didn't want to trigger anything that might cause an argument amongst them.
Just then, the office door burst open to reveal Wilfed, Brian's archenemy. Immediately, Jack and Killian drew their guns out, ready to engage him. Brian whistled, alerting them to keep their guns down.
"You have guts for you to come in here and challenge me", Brian growled.
"I run this show Brian you should know that", Wilfred smirked.
"What show Wilfred? Sometimes, I really wonder if you have a brain", Brian growled.
His wolf was prancing about, ready to unveil itself. Brian maintained his cool, giving Wilfred a stink eye.
"What do you want Wilfred?", Jack asked.
"I came to see your boss not you weakling", he chuckled.
Jack stepped forward, ready to beat the living day light out of the asshole who ran his mouth the way he liked.
Brian stopped him in his track, placing a comforting hand on his shoulder. He couldn't afford it if any of his friends fought their archenemy and blood ended up being spilled. Brian knew it would be disastrous especially since they didn't know why Wilfed was here.
"Wilfred, fit for the last time what are you doing here?", Brian growled.
His wolf was almost at the surface now, ready to tesr into the bastard's face. Brian could also sense his friend's wolves, each preparing for the battle that seemed inevitable.
"I wouldn't have bothered for matters such as this but I'm here because this concerns me personally", he growled.
"State your business Wilfred or get out", Killian seethed.
"I will, all in due time. And I must advice you, don't try anything funny. Your building is surrounded", he smirked.
Brian walked up to him. He was face to face with him and his hands itched to slap away the smug smile that flittered his face.
"For the last time Wilfred, state your business", Brian growled.
His hands had given way to claws and he was so close to slashing his face when Wilfred's expression changed to one of pity.
If there was one thing Brian hated more than lies, it was pity. He hated it if someone felt pity for him, it only showed that he was weak and powerless to do anything.
"You're about to make a terrible mistake", Wilfred said.
Brian wore a confused expression as he racked his brain to think about the meaning behind those words. Try as he may, he couldn't understand what he meant which left him feeling restless.
"What do you mean Wilfed?", Jack asked.
"That's all I'm going to say, it's left for you to use your brain",he said.
Right before their very eyes, Wilfed transformed into his wolf form as he jumped out of the window. Brian stared at him, itching to follow him to find out what he really meant by those words.
"What did the idiot mean by those words?", Killian asked.
"I have no idea but we better be prepared for anything that comes our way", Brian said.
Later on, his friend's left and he was left all alone in his office. His mind thought desperately about what Wilfred said but he couldn't get any sensible answer. He only hoped that they weren't making any grave mistake he didn't know of.
