Mated To An Hybrid

Brian drove all the way to the club like a man who was on a mission. He was on a mission because he really wanted to know what Serah’s parents had been in on all this while. He got to the club soon as he made his way to his office where he met his friends waiting.

“What’s up?”, Brian said.

He took a seat, pulling out a bottle of cognac. He snatched a cup from the cup holder as he mixed a drink for himself.

“Tone down on the drink, you might want to stay sober for the news”, Jack muttered.

“Just say it, I’ve handled bad news better when I’m dead drunk”, Brian said.

Killian chuckled, snatching the bottle of cognac from him. Brian protested and pleaded but they paid deaf ears to him.

“Alright, fine what have you got?”, Brian asked.

“Serah’s parents worked with Antonio”, Jack said.

Brian expected this but it still surprised him to know that they were involved in the creation of poisons. He didn’t know if he could tell his mate this news but he knew he had to because if he didn’t and she found out elsewhere, it could spell trouble for him.

“Shit! Shit!”, Brian growled.

He rose up to his feet, completely forgetting about his drink. Killian was right, he really needed to stay sober for this.

“What else is there. Why do I have a feeling that’s not the last of it”, he said.

“You’re right. Sources also say that they’re still in the act of creating poisons and what’s worse, professor Handel actually inserts a small bit of poison into his drugs that slowly kills anyone who takes it”, Killian said.

“This is bad, guys this is very bad. We have to stop them”, Brian said.

“We can’t, well not for now. They have the backing of Wilfred”, Jack said.

“Fucking Wilfred again. Why does everything have to return back to him”, Brian snapped.

“Apparently, our archenemy is involved in so many dubious activities so I’m really not surprised”, Killian said.

“We have to stop them by all means. For fucks sake, they’re killing people and nobody knows about it”, Brian seethed.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Right now, we still don’t know where they are hiding but I’m looking. I’ll get an answer soon”, Jack said.

“Please, try harder man. I can’t live with it, knowing that people are dieing slowly and no one knows about it”, Brian said.

“We’ll get to the root of this but for now Brian, I think you should sit down for this next part”, Killian said.

From the look on his friends eyes he knew that what they were about to say was serious and required him to sit down.

“Has Serah ever told you about her lineage. I mean, anything other than her parents?”, Killian asked.

Brian thought long and hard about this. He didn’t see the relation on why they would ask this question but he knew there was a reason behind it. His friends were on to something and he couldn’t wait to discover what it was.

“No, she hasn’t. Asides her who are parents are and what they do, there really isn’t any other thing”, Brian said.

“Brian this might come as a shock but professor Handel and his wife are not Serah’s biological parents”, Killian said.

For several minutes, Brian remained silent thinking over their words. He didn’t know what to think or say and simply opted to remain silent. Never in his wildest dreams could he have imagined this, it was completely out of the blues.

“Wow! I mean wow!. How did you guys get to know this”, Brian said.

“Through one of my sources that is very close to Professor Handel and his wife. Brian, it’s been there all along but we were too blind to see it”, Jack said.

“How? I don’t understand”, Brian said.

“You might not know this but professor Handel and his wife are humans, full blooded humans. They have no atom of wolf or magic streak within them which begs the question who then are Serah’s parents and how did she get to the house of professor Handel”, Killian said.

Brian was confused, this was completely above him. He had no idea who is mate’s parents were and he knew she wouldn’t have any idea either. It seemed as if to Brian that everyday of his life, secrets were revealed.

“Serah has never told me anything more about her parents asides what they do and where they work. I’m very sure, she knows nothing about this too”, Brian said.

“That’s our guess too but we really have to find out who are parents are. And please, for the love of anything you serve, make sure no one hears about this especially the council of elders. If they do, Brian I’m afraid you have to consider your coronation goodbye because the council of elders would never crown an heir whose Luna’s parents are unknown. They consider it a taboo”, Jack said.

“What kind of rule is that?”, Brian seethed.

“I didn’t make it, it’s there in the big book of wolves”, Jack said.

Brian sighed, slumping to his seat. He grabbed the bottle of cognac, downing it straight from the bottle. His friends didn’t bother to stop him because they knew he needed it, anyone who had just heard that information needed something strong to take it all in.

“What do I do now? I can’t possibly tell Serah this, she’ll be crushed”, Brian said.

“I don’t mean to sound insensitive right now but I don’t think it’s Serah we should be worried about now”, Killian said.

“What do you mean?”, Jack said.

“I mean, we should be more worried about Wilfred and what he’ll do with this information if he gets his hands on it. If gets a hold of this information, he’ll sabotage the coronation and would waste no time in informing the council of elders. If at the end, it’s discovered to be true I’m afraid Brian, you would loose the title”, Killian said.

“Shit! Who then becomes the leader of the entire kingdom?”, Brian asked.

“Wilfred. He’s the next in line to the throne of anything happens to you according to the big book of wolves. So you see that’s why he’s doing everything to destroy you and everything you’ve built. At the end, it all boils down to the throne”, Killian said.

If Brian could summon the moon goddess that instant, he would have gone for it but he couldn’t because she had warned him that she wouldn’t be there every time to answer his calls and he had to man up and face issues as they came.

Brian rose to his feet, he needed to go home to clear his head. He was going to tell Serah, he had decided. She deserved to know what was going on and besides, if she knew about it, they could search for her real parents together.

“I’ll see you guys soon. Please, keep me posted if anything else comes out”, Brian said.

He left the club, heading towards his house. As he drove home, he thought about the best way he could break the news to Serah without hurting her feelings. There was no way but to tell her how it was. He hoped that she didn’t take it too seriously and ended up blaming herself for something that wasn’t her fault. Brian knew he couldn’t live with that.
