Chapter 68
Quick as a lightening, Brian launched a series of shots towards them but they were quick to deflect it as they launched theirs back.
“Get down”, Killian screamed from behind.
Brian saw it too late. One of the attackers had launched a bomb towards them as the offending material scattered everything in it’s wake.
“Scared much” Wilfred grinned.
“You’ll pay for this”, Brian seethed.
He fired a series of shots at him and was glad when one of them hit him. Brian knew it wasn’t a big damage, only a simple graze to the arm.
“You’ll pay for this”, Wilfred seethed.
“And you’ll pay for the damages you’ve caused”, Brian thundered.
He moved towards Wilfred speedily, shifting in the process. He latched on to his neck, sinking his sharp teeth into his neck. He was glad when he heard Wilfred howl in pain which gave him the motivation to attack.
Brian felt a sharp pain on his arm and be knew he had been hit by him. Blood poured rapidly from tht deep cut but Brian paid little to no attention to it as all his mind was fixed on Wilfred and all the damages he could cause.
“You’ll never get away with this”, Brian said.
“I have already, don’t you see”, Wilfred cackled.
He shifted into his demon form, taking tht shape of a beast with horns that twisted upwards. He stood on his hind legs as his tongue took on a forked shape.
“Demon”, Brian seethed.
“Wolf”, Wilfred hissed.
The two engaged themselves in a battle, locking fists together. Brian easily towered over him but Wilfred possessed a strength so great, it was hard for Brian to defeat him.
“Just give up Brian and hand over power to me”, Wilfred hissed.
“Never. You do not belong here and you’re not worthy to step foot into the building for the council of elders”, Brian said.
“I would never. That title belongs to me and me alone, you have no right telling me what to do”, Wilfred hissed.
He struck Brian on the face, sending him flying towards a far distance. Brian landed with a sickening crack as he made to get up back but the pain radiating through his body was so great it rendered him powerless.
“Brian, get up and fight”, Jack urged.
He and Killian were currently engaged in a bloody battle with many of the demons who was giving them no chance to retaliate.
Brian’s eyes were dim but he could make out Wilfred’s advancing figure. Brian raised a hand, in a bid to get up but he slammed back down with no strength left in him.
“Any last words Brian, son of Frederick”, Wilfred spat.
Brian groaned, shifting back into his human form. His wolf was too weak to continue the fight and so was forced to rescind hold on him in order to heal.
Just as Wilfred was about to give the final blow, a large flash of light blinded the hall, sending all the attackers scampering back.
“You will not touch my mate!”, a voice thundered.
The voice was so loud that it had Wilfred taking several steps back. Brian knew who that voice belonged to but he was surprised that she was here. Serah wasn’t supposed to be awake until several hours later but she was here in the flesh and ready to bring vengeance on Wilfred.
“And here comes the hybrid”, Wilfred mocked.
Serah moved towards him so fast no one could track her movements. She held Wilfred’s neck in a vise grip, slowing cutting off his air passage.
“And here you are, demon”, she hissed.
Wilfred tried all he could to push her away from him but Serah possessed great strength he didn’t know about. Her hands on him were like the sun, hot and burning even for him who was a demon.
“I should kill you here but I want to give my mate the satisfaction of doing it himself”, Serah said.
“None of you would ever do that, I’m too strong for you”, Wilfred croaked.
The grip on his neck was getting painful and suffocating and the only reason he was still alive was due to his demon powers.
Serah raised him up with a strong grip as his feet left that ground. That was Wilfred’s mistake, he had underestimated her and now, she would finally destroy him.
“Serah”, Brian croaked.
He had been watching her all the way from where he sat, infact the whole court had been watching her. They all knew she was strong but they didn’t expect her to posses such great strength and powers to challenge a demon.
Serah’s eyes were pure white as she was in her element. No amount of sound or external voices could break the spell she was in. Without another thought, she flung Wilfred away so hard it caused a dent on the wall.
Wilfred rose up from the ground, shifting back into his human form. He moved back as he watched Serah walk towards him with a death glare in her eyes.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“This fight isn’t over yet. I’ll be back soon and when I do, you all will be sorry for what you did”, Wilfred said..
He left soon with his minions running after him. Serah stopped in her tracks, taking a deep breath as her eyes came back to normal.
Brian rose up from his ground, much better now that his wolf had healed. He walked towards her in hopes drawing her to him but he stopped when she turned to face him. He was glad to see that her eyes had returned back to their normal jade colour.
“You almost got killed”, Serah said.
“But you came right on time to save me, thank you”, Brian said.
Jack and Killian left quietly but not before killing of the few minions who still remained. Brian was greatful for their quick thinking and was glad when they left to give them the much needed quiet they need.
“And what if I didn’t? What if I couldn’t fight off the drug you laced me with just because you think I can’t fight or protect myself”, Serah said.
“I’m just glad you’re alive and you saved me”, Brian said.
“I’m glad to but you’ve lost my trust”, she said.
Brian knew she was right, he felt stupid for lacing her with those drugs when he knew very well she could take care of herself.
“I’m sorry Serah”, he croacked.
“You’re not better than my father”, Serah said.
She walked away without another word and Brian’s heart broke just by seeing her back to him.
