Chapter 39
The next day, Brian had to make a quick getaway to the neighbouring city in company of Jack. Killian was left to manage the club and everything else for the few hours Brian would be away.
"You'll be back home soon right?", Serah said.
Brian gripped her waist, loving the way she relaxed in hold. He loved that they were now together and he vowed never to allow a rift between them again.
"Yes, I will honey", Brian said, giving her a heated kiss.
"Must you go", Serah sighed, gripping him tightly.
"Yes, I must. It's important", Brian laughed.
"What if I stop you?", Serah smiled.
"Then by all means try but really darling, I have to go".
Serah released him, taking a step back. She hated it when he had to leave, she usually felt lonely and now, she knew that it wouldn't be any different.
Serah watched him leave and wished that she could go with him but she remained put, offering prayers for his protection.
An hour later, Serah heard a slight knock on the door. She wasn't expecting anyone and she knew that Brian was too early to be back. She made her way towards the door, preparing her magic for attack if the person turned out to be a foe.
"Andrew! What a pleasant surprise", Serah said, ushering him in.
She knew that the only reason why the security men allowed him in was due to the fact that they were all in the same pack.
"Hello beauty", Andrew smiled.
He gripped her waist but Serah quietly extracted herself from him. She didn't understand why Andrew couldn't understand that she was finally with someone else. Brian was the future Alpha of the pack and she expected him to respect that but apparently he didn't.
"I wasn't expecting you, is there a problem?", Serah asked.
"No, why must there be a problem before I can see the woman i love", he chuckled.
"You really have the guts to come here and say thrash when you know quite well I belong to another man", Serah seethed.
She was tired of being nice and if Andrew wanted a piece of her mind, it was time to give it to him now without fear of favour.
"Why will you speak like this. After all, I loved you first before your mate came along", he seethed.
"Andrew, do you seriously want to go against the moon goddess?", Serah said.
Serah couldn't even believe what he was saying. Nobody in their right senses would ever dream of crossing or interfering with the moon goddesses works and now, Andrew was about doing that.
"Even the moon goddess knows I loved you first. It's you who is at fault by jumping onto the next man you meet, claiming he's your mate".
Serah slapped him hard across the cheek. He didn't expect it especially with the look of shock that filled his face. His hands shook as he clutched his cheek which had already turned a bright shade of red.
"Never in your life call me a whore now get out of my house before I set the wolves on you", Serah seethed.
Her magic was almost at the surface as she tried desperately to reign it down. She knew if she unleashed her magic on him, he would leave her house as a dead man.
Spittle flew from her mouth, landing on his shirt but she didn't care. At that moment, Serah was enraged. She never expected him to talk or behave this way but this just proved to her what a jerk he was.
"You'll regret this, I promise you. I'll be back and when I return, you'll wish you never did this", Andrew shouted.
He transformed into his wolf form, escaping through the window just as the first security men came in.
"Everything alright ma'am?", they asked.
"Yes, thank you", Serah smiled.
There was no use reporting Andrew to them. She would deal with Andrew herself and lord knows that she wouldn't show him mercy. Challenging an Alpha's mate was a crime in itself and threatening them was another offence she knew Andrew wouldn't be getting out of anytime soon.
The men left but not before checking every corners of the house to ascertain if she was truly okay. She was left alone soon as her houghts was filled with what Andrew had just done.
"I'll make him pay for what he did", she vowed.
Just then, her phone gave a sharp beep indicating she had a call. She picked it up, glancing at the caller ID which showed that it was her mum calling. This was odd because her mom hardly called and the only time she spoke to her was through her dad.
"Mum?", Serah said.
"Hey honey", she chirped.
"Mum, how are you? It's been so long, are you and Dad okay?", Serah asked.
Serah couldn't help it, her anxiety was getting the best out of her. The only reason why she wasn't panicking was due to the fact that her mother's voice was somewhat normal, she wasn't agitated like Serah expected her to be.
"I'm fine honey but I can't say the same for your father", her mum said.
Serah stopped pacing, thinking about her mother's words. Her mind vividly went back to the day Brian suspected her father in engaging in some notorious activities and now, it seemed her worst fears were confirmed.
"What's wrong? What happened to dad?", Serah asked.
"Your father hasn't been himself this past few days. He's been muttering something about everything being gone and he was my friend. It's all gibberish to me", her mother sighed.
"I... Oh my gosh", Serah muttered.
"What? Is something wrong?",her mother panicked.
"No... No. Where's dad? Is he there with you?", Serah asked.
If he was there, she wanted to speak to him immediately to ascertain whether her suspicions about his involvement with Antonio was true.
"No he isn't. As a matter of fact, your father left the house a long time ago and he's yet to return", she sighed.
"Okay, as soon as he returns call me. I need to speak to him", Serah said.
She was going to confront her father once and for all. She couldn't live any longer with the suspicions. If her father was involved, she didn't know what she'll do yet.
"Okay, I'll talk to you later. Take care honey and my regards to Brian", her mother said before cutting the call.
Serah slumped on the chair, setting her phone beside her. She sighed, thinking about how everything was taking a turn she really didn't like. Serah knew that now, it was time to dissect the truth from the lies.
