Chapter 16
"So you're saying you pissed off your mate and now she's angry with you", Killian said.
Brian had gotten to his house about an hour earlier, crashing into the sofa. Now, he felt like shit for pissing his mate off. He knew he was at fault but he realized it late and now, he didn't even know what his mate was thinking or doing which was worse than when he was with her.
"Don't make me feel worse than I already am", Brian groaned.
"Well, that's my plan. Brian, you need to get your shit together and go apologize to her. To be honest, she's right on this one. You need to keep your temper in check especially when shit hits tht roof", Killian said.
Brian hated to think that he was right. This was exactly the same thing Serah had said and now, he was hearing it the second time.
"Man! You know it's not easy. My pops is in the hospital, almost dead. I got shot at few weeks ago. Man, you know y'all have to cut me some slack", Brian said.
"I know Brian and trust me, I understand all what you've been facing this part few weeks but man, all I'm saying is you've got to control your temper. Do you know sometimes Jack and I don't tell you stuffs because we fear on how you'll react", Killian said.
At that moment, Brian felt worse than ever before. He didn't know that his friend's thought about these things which only made him worse.
"I'm sorry Killian, I truly am. I had no idea", Brian said.
"Man, you don't need to apologize to us. Your mate need it more, go home".
"And have her launch her magic straight at me? Not a chance", Brian said.
"Trust me, it's better if you go now than save it for letter. Talk about yitr differences and settle on a safe place", Killian advised.
"You know, for someone who hasn't really been steady in relationships you're so wise" Brian chuckled.
"Well, unlike you and Jack who talks about guns all the time, I actually read books on relationships", he said proudly.
"Whatever suits you man", Brian chuckled.
"Seriously though, you should get going. Don't leave what you can do now for later", Killian said.
Brian sighed, rising to his feet. He was going to apologize to his mate then settle their differences. He hated fighting with her and that was the last thing he intended to do.
"Wish me luck buddy", Brian said.
"I wish you all the luck. You're going to need it", Killian laughed.
Brian made his way out of the building, heading towards the car. He powered down the road in the direction of his Mansion. His father's ailment had taken a toll on him but he realized that he shouldn't had lashed out at his mate. She didn't deserve it and if his father got to know about it, he would be angry about it.
If there was one thing he knew about hid father, it was that he respected all the women in his life. He respected his mate, Brian's mother and even down to the female staffs who worked for them. So yeah, Alpha Frederick would be totally pissed.
Brian drove into his garage, killing the engine of his car. He sighed, placing his head on the wheels of his car. He snapped out of it when a bright light reflected on the car. Brian looked out of the window and he could feel that his mate was awake. The bond grew stronger as he felt her moving about within the house no doubt waiting for him to come in.
He got out of his car, walking towards the building. He placed his fingers on the security scanner that was already programmed to read his fingers.
When he got in, he met his mate sitting on a high backed chair sipping a hot cup of coffee. She faced him, staring at him dead in the eye.
"Serah", he said, quietly.
"Hello mate", she rasped.
Brian knew then that she had been crying especially with the way her eyes were red rimmed. She tried to act tough but that failed as soon as she saw that he had noticed.
He moved towards her but she raised a hand, stopping him in his tracks. Brian had a pained look in his eyes but he stopped not wanting to make this difficult any further.
"Serah, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have lashed out the way I did", Brian said, finally.
His mate placed her cup on the table, rising to her feet. She walked towards him but Brian stayed rooted to the ground. He feared that she would disappear if he moved an inch. She stopped right in front of him, gripping his hands.
Serah placed her mate's hands over her chest as she watched his face take on a confused expression.
"Do you feel it?",she whispered.
Brian felt it. He felt the way her heart raced, how the light beat of her heart raced from something he didn't quite understand.
"That's what happens whenever I argue or fight with the people I love", she said.
"Oh darling", Brian sighed.
He gripped her waist, pulling her to his chest. He stroked her hair, loving the way it felt in his hands.
"I'm sorry. I truly am, you have no idea", he sighed.
"You don't need to apologize. All I need from you is to control your temper, that's all", she smiled.
Brian led them to a couch at the far corner of the living room. He placed her on his lap, stroking her hair.
"You know, I was scared when we fought today", she chuckled.
"I was too but I'm glad I was able to retrace my steps. I never intended to hurt you Serah, you've got to believe me", Brian said.
"I know and that's why I even allowed you to hold me", she laughed.
"I'm sorry Serah. I won't get tired of saying it", Brian said.
He nozzled her neck, loving the heady scent associated with her. What he did today was stupid, something he should never have done but he was glad he was able to come back to his senses and retrace his step.
"It's okay. Brian, your father would recover I'm sure of it so stop worrying. We'll be there for him, together. Alpha Fredrick is a strong man and he would never go down like that without a fight", she smiled.
"I know and that's what scares me. What if he dies? What if he isn't able to recover? What if this is the last time I get to see him", Brian said.
"Trust me babe, I can feel it in my bones. Your father isn't going to die, this isn't his time", Serah said.
"I'll hold you by your words mate", Brian grinned.
"Of course. We'll go see him tomorrow okay?", Serah smiled.
"Okay. Now that that's over, what do I get for coming home", Brian grinned.
"Hmmm... Let's see, how about a kiss", Serah laughed.
"No, I want more than that. How about we go all the way down", Brian said.
Brian sighed, gripping her waist. He kissed her, savouring her taste and scent, a heady sensation.
