Chapter 35
"I got some information about the attack", Jack said.
For the past two days, the private club has been Brian's apartment ever since their meeting with the army chief. It was clear to him now that people were after his life and the only place he felt safe was the club and his father's palace. His own home wasn't even safe since most people knew where he lived.
A day never passed without him calling Serah to know how she was doing. She was currently taking up residence at his father's house, a place that was securely protected like a vault. Hid house was on lockdown by some security men who were conducting an aerial inspection pending the time they confirmed that it was safe.
"Let's hear it", Killian said.
"It's no other person but Wilfred, he's responsible for the attack", Jack said, flipping through a file.
Upon hearing his name, Brian sat up immediately. He hated hearing that name with every fiber of his being. Wilfred had made it his life duty to destroy him and his pack and Brian vowed to return the favor to him and his entire demon pack.
"What the hell! How? I don't understand", Brian said.
"That's not all, Antonio was in his pay and the main reason why he produced so much poison was due to that", Jack said.
Brian could hardly believe what he said. He knew Wilfred controlled most of the people in New York but creating and putting someone on his payroll to do that was beyond evil.
"We need to stop him", Brian said.
"We do but not now, we have other things to focus on Brian", Killian said.
"To hell with that. Wilfred has just declared war and there's no way I'm going to back down from war. This is our fight guys and there's no way in hell I'm backing down from this, I don't know about you guys", Brian said.
He paced about, gripping his hair which was now shoulder length. He couldn't describe the hatred he felt for Wilfred. He was the Alpha of the demon pack, someone who shouldn't be played with at all and now, he had connections for the production of poisons.
"Brian, for once put hatred aside and let's be logical. You know damn well that Wilfred is our biggest enemy, we can't go into that fight blindly and lest you've forgotten, we're short of guns. We lost most of it on the attack here and the remaining would be sold to the army chief", Jack snapped.
"That's true. In all, we have less than a hundred", Killian said.
Brian sat back down, gripping his head in his hands. He had to confess, he needed help and badly.
"I need help, badly", he croaked.
"We all do Brian but who can we go to for help. We all know that we have enemies in most of the pack", Jack said.
"My father. I'll get help from my father", Brian said.
"Alpha Fredrick? How?", Killian asked.
"Brian, let me remind you incase you've forgotten. Your father is really not well and wouldn't advise that we disturb him further", Jack said.
"You guys would be surprised to learn that he's actually stronger than you think", Brian said.
"But I'm still not in tune with the idea, I think it's best we just leave him and look for other ways we can get help", Killian said.
"Okay, here's what's going to happen. I'll talk to him then whatever he says, I'll let you guys know. How's that?", Brian asked.
"Alright, even though I really don't like the idea but it's okay", Jack said.
"Killian?".
"Do whatever you like, I don't care", he huffed.
Brian placed a drink in his hands, giving him a reassuring pat on the back. He knew that they were all tired from the stress of everything that had happened this past few days but there was nothing they could do but live with it and look for a better way out.
"Oh boy, what's she doing here", Jack growled.
Brian whipped his head around to see Benita walking towards them. This time around, her clothes were much better than the last time, only a bit. At least, it was saying something considering the kind of person she was.
"What are you doing here?", Brian snapped.
He wasn't in the mood for any of her games, all he wanted to do was get over the day and go talk to his father the following day and now freaking Benita was here.
Brian's wolf laughed within him and Brian had the urge to laugh too but he just wasn't in the mood for all that.
"It's a club Brian, I can come here as I please. After all, it belongs to our pack", she drawled.
Killian and Jack left silently. They didn't want to be in the way especially if Benita planned on attacking Brian. Benita could be a crazed fellow and no one wanted to be close to her.
"Yes, I know it's a club but you are not allowed to come in here", Brian snapped.
"Well, you can't stop me", she drawled.
As quick as lightening, Brian slammed her to the wall and was satisfied when he heard a light crack on her head. He knew she wouldn't feel it that much, seeing as she was strong.
Benita smiled, grabbing his shoulders as she tried to straddle his waist. Brian felt disgusted as he watched her hands grip his shoulders possessively.
"Get your hands off me Benita", Brian growled.
"But I love the feel of you", she smiled.
"What the hell?",a voice screamed.
Benita scrambled away just as Brian turned to see Serah walk out of the club. At that moment, he felt sick to his stomach. He knew that what Benita did was a set-up and he vowed to deal with her as soon as he got the chance but for now, he needed to find Serah.
"Get out of my club. I never want to see you anywhere here or my home", Brian snapped.
Benita chuckled before walking out of the club. When she left, Brian dashed out, searching for his mate everywhere but try as he may, he couldn't find her anywhere.
"Did you see Serah?", Brian asked.
No one had seen her and for the first time in a long while, he felt so alone.
