Chapter 43
Brian woke up with a slight start, gripping the sheets of the bed. His mate slept peacefully beside him. It was the day of the full moon and Brian was ready to host as many of his pack members he could.
He kissed Serah lightly on the head before rising to his feet. He had woken up from a bad dream on the day of the full moon, what were the odds. He made his way downstairs, towards the kitchen for a much needed glass of martini.
“Drink so early?”, a voice said.
Brian sighed, he didn’t need to look behind him to know who that was. It was the moon goddess on her routine visit.
“Greetings Moon goddess”, Brian said, bowing lightly.
She smiled, coming to sit on a chair opposite him. Brian knew that she was here because she felt that something was wrong with him.
“What troubles you son”, she smiled.
“Everything goddess, everything. I feel like I’m not capable enough of taking care of my mate, I feel like I’ll fail her one day and the dream. I’ve been having recurring bad dreams”, Brian said.
“Let’s talk about your dream. What do they look like?”, she asked.
Brian knew that she knew all about it but she just wanted him to talk and explain how he really felt. He was grateful for this, greatful for the avenue.
“They are not really dreams per say, more like visions. I get them frequently but now, they come almost every time”, Brian said.
“And the details? What are the details of these dreams?”, she asked.
“They are of blood and war and… Death”, Brian shuddered.
“That’s because you’re going to be facing a lot of challenges most especially from the demon pack. I’ve banished that pack from my care and love a long time ago. They’re not mine anymore but belong to the demons of the underworld”, she said.
“Then what do I do to destroy every last one of them?”, Brian asked.
“There’s really nothing you can do. The pack had come to stay. The only thing you can do is guard your territory from their attacks and make sure you protect the ones you love. That’s the only thing you can do”, she said.
Brian sighed, he knew that that was the only way he could deal with Wilfred and his pack. He was going to use a lot of diplomacy and patience.
“Thank you moon goddess, I’ll heed to your advice”, Brian said.
“That’s much better. I’ll always be with you and guide you every step of the way”, she smiled.
“Thank you goddess. I promise I’ll protect my pack and make you proud”, Brian bowed.
The moon goddess smiled, touching his head lightly before she vanished into thin air. At that moment, Brian felt powerful. He didn’t know where the energy came from but he knew that it had to do with the moon goddess’s visit.
He downed the rest of his drink, placing his cup in the counter before returning to the bedroom where he met his mate still fast asleep. Brian kissed her tickling her side as he watched her wake up, laughing from his assault.
“What a way to wake up”, Serah giggled.
Brian leaned down, giving her a tender kiss. He breathed her scent, loving the way she still smelt fresh even in the morning.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
“You’re beautiful”, he smiled.
All of a sudden, Serah felt shy as her mate appraised her beauty. It was moments like this she lived for, moments were it was just them in the company of each other without any disturbances.
“Thank you”, Serah said, biting her lips.
“Are you biting your lips?”, Brian growled.
“Maybe”, Serah smiled.
Brian clipped her hands above her head, effortlessly locking her in place. He slammed his lips to hers, growling as she twisted her legs around his waist, drawing him in.
“Serah, don’t start what you can’t finish”, Brian growled.
“What if I intend to finish this”, she said, biting her lips again.
She knew the effect it had on him hence why she kept on doing it. Brian smiled but that smile reminded Serah of a predator about to catch it’s prey.
“You’ve been warned Serah but why don’t you listen”, Brian growled.
“Maybe I don’t want to”, she said, licking her lips.
“Then prepare for this”, he chuckled.
Without wasting anymore time, tore her clothes, cupping a breast in his hands. He gave it a light squeeze, loving the way it sat perfectly on his hand.
“Prepare to be thoroughly fucked mate”, Brian growled.
True to his words, he did just that.
*******************************
The party was already in full swing by the time Brian and his mate made their appearance. The Moon was already up in tht sky, shining brightly upon the earth. Brian had never seen a more beautiful moon and with his mate by his side, he knew that nothing could go wrong.
“I’ve never seen so many wolves gathered in one place well except maybe our unveiling day but this is amazing”, Serah gushed.
“I know and I’m glad to spend the first full moon celebration with you as my mate, I wouldn’t want to have it any other way”, Brian smiled.
They walked down the steps together, shaking hands with different wolves half of whom Serah had never seen before.
“You both look amazing”, Killian smiled.
Brian rolled his eyes, smiling as his mate hugged his best friend. Killian was dressed in a dark Navy blue suit over brown loafers that gleamed under the powerful light of the chandelier.
“Where’s Jack?”, Brian asked
“Tending to his wife over there”, Killian said, pointing at a direction.
Brian looked towards the direction he pointed at and sure enough, he found best friend with his much pregnant wife.
“I’ll go say hello”, Serah smiled, walking towards them.
Brian nodded at Killian and the latter understood as he followed Brian to a corner of the hall. Brian looked around, trying to see if they were being watched but all was clear.
“Nothing is unusual boss. Everything is going according to plan, if there’s something that needs your attention, I’ll let you know immediately”, Killian said.
“Alright, thank you Killian. Remember you and Jack’s eyes should be on my mate when I’m not there to watch her understand?”.
“Affirmative”, he said.
Brian dismissed, looking around the hall. It was filled with a lot of people and he hoped that everything went as it was supposed to go.
