Mated To An Hybrid

“How is the evacuation process?”, Brian asked.

He was on the phone with Jack who was giving him a detailed report on the evacuation that had began few hours ago. From what Brian could gather, some of the residents were finding it difficult to leave as they didn’t quite trust them enough.

Brian couldn’t blame them though because if he was in their shoes, he would also find it difficult to leave a city you had become so used to.

“It’s at it’s final stage now, just a couple of hundreds before we’re done. My source tells me that Wilfred and his gang would be attacking at the early hours of dawn”, Jack said.

“Good, carry on. Please inform Killian to lock down the safe at the club then you guys should lock up. Head over here as soon as the evacuation is done, we’ll fight from here”, Brian said.

“Alright, we’ll do. I hope Serah took the evacuation news well?”, Jack asked.

“Yes. She’s pregnant”, Brian said.

There was no use beating about the bush as Jack and Killian were no strangers he could hide things from.

“No shit?”, Jack said.

“No shit. She’s truly pregnant”, Brian chuckled.

“Oh man! This is huge, congratulations Man”, Jack chuckled.

“Thank you. I mean, it’s so great to know that I’ll soon be a father. I really can’t explain the feeling, it’s surreal”, Brian grinned.

“It’s the best feeling ever and now, you’re in. Welcome to the club”, Jack said.

“Thank you mam. Jack, there’s something I’ve been meaning to tell you”, Brian said, quietly.

He decided to tell him now as he could no longer keep it away from the man who was like a brother to him.

“Okay, I’m all ears”, Jack said.

“Remember when I said we’ll go rescue your sister when the battle with Wilfred begins?”, Brian said

“Yes, I remember” Jack said.

“Well… I’m afraid, something terrible has happened as regards that plan”, Brian said.

Jack remained quiet for a long time as he thought over his friend’s words. There were times when he knew something terrible had happened and other times when he was completely ignorant.

“You don’t have to say it Brian, I know what happened”, Jack sighed.

“What! I mean, how?”, Brian said.

He was beyond confused on how Jack could have known what had happened to his sister when he or Killian didn’t tell him but knowing who he was, Brian wouldn’t be surprised if he had gotten the information elsewhere.

“I’m so sorry. We were late”, Brian sighed.

“It’s okay, I really wasn’t expecting her to come out of it alive. I felt it though, I knew the moment she died, out connection broke. It’s hard to explain it but I felt it, it was there just like a growing ache that never seized to leave”, Jack said.

“I understand and I’m so sorry Jack”, Brian said.

“Let’s not dwell on the past but look ahead to what we want to achieve, it’s better that way and that’s the only way I can heal”, Jack said.

“You’re right. Please finish up with the evacuation so you guys can come up here before we attack”, Brian said.

“Will do. How do you want to send Serah to safety?”, Jack asked.

“Honestly, I don’t know. I can’t drive her over there because right now, I’m the target”, Brian said.

“Okay, let’s do it this way. I’ll send an unmarked car to your house, that should drive off any unwanted attention”, Jack said.

“Alright, we’ll be waiting. Thank you man, stay safe”, Brian said.

He cut the call, placing his phone on a nearby table. He made his way to a nearby chair, lowering himself into it as his mind went through all that he had planned to do at the battle.

“Any other news?”, Serah asked.

She walked into the living room where her mate was. She gripped her stomach, feeling that familiar stirring of her cub nestled within her.

“No… Nothing yet. Jack is sending over a car to take you to a safe place”, Brian said.

“Okay. I really wish I can fight though”, Serah pouted.

Brian took her hands in his, giving it a gentle squeeze. He wished she could do now that he was convinced she was fearless but for the sake of their unborn child, she couldn’t. Their child was their topmost priority now and it came first before any other thing.

“Let’s focus on protecting our child. I want both of you to be safe as much as possible”, Brian smiled.

“Yes. When is the battle going to end, when am going to see you again?”, she croaked.

“I can’t really say for now baby, I honestly do not know”, Brian said.

“Okay. Whatever happens, know that I love you, we do”.

“I love you too baby and I’ll never stop loving you. You’ve given me the greatest gift a man could ever ask for and that’s all I’ve ever wanted”, Brian croacked.

He hated feeling weak and helpless but the moment warranted that as he couldn’t hold back on the immense love he felt for her and his unborn child.

Just then, there was a knock on the door and Brian knew that the car Jack promised to send was here.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“Sorry to disturb you sir but an unmarked car is downstairs claiming it was sent by your friend”, the security agent said.

“Yes, that’s true. I was expecting the car. Please tell the driver to give us few minutes, we’ll be there shortly”, Brian ordered.

“Noted sir”, the security agent said.

“Good and please, run a security check on the car discreetly”, Brian said.

“All noted, we’ll get to it”, he said before walking out.

“A security check on an unmarked car?”, Serah said, raising an eye.

“We can’t be too careful love, we have a lot of enemies and we wouldn’t want to be caught unawares”, Brian said.

“I’m so glad I’m mate to a very smart man”, she gushed.

“I love you too much not to be smart, it’s the little I can do to keep you safe”, he smiled.

Serah held his hands as they made their way downstairs. Brian carried the small bag she had hastily packed in case the battle raged on for days.

“I’ll miss you baby, stay safe”, Serah smiled.

Brian nodded as he watched the car drive off to safety.
