Chapter 76
“Oh my gosh I didn’t know you’ll be home so soon”, Serah laughed.
Brian could tell that she was surprised when he walked in. He met her at the kitchen, just bringing out freshly baked cookies from the oven.
“I wanted to surprise you. Well now, its more of an emergency”, Brian said.
A light frown marred her face as she thought about his words. Serah didn’t know what the emergency could be and she only hoped it wasn’t something so serious.
“What’s the problem?”, she asked.
Brian sighed, pulling her closer to him. He couldn’t explain it but anytime he was with her, he felt safe. She had this aura around her that made him want to spill all the secrets he was hiding.
“Heck, I’ve got a lot to say”, Brian said.
“Then it’s a good thing I just baked cookies, come let’s sit”, Serah smiled.
Brian gave her hands a gentle squeeze, silently thanking her for sticking with him even when she didn’t have cause to.
“So, what happened?”, she asked.
“First off, my pilot is a member of wilfred’s gang. He attacked us on the plane but for Jack’s and Killian’s quick intervention, we would have been dead meat”, he said.
“Oh my gosh! That’s horrible, how on earth has he been able to stay hidden all these while”, Serah said.
“To be honest, I really don’t know”, Brian said.
“Or could he have used a deceptive spell”, she muttered.
“Deceptive spell?… What does that mean?”, Brian said.
“A deceptive spell is one used to hide the identity or figure of that person. It is usually used when one is hiding something most of the time which is sinister”, Serah explained.
“But i still don’t understand. I thought it’s people with magic who can use something like that”, Brian said.
“That’s usually the case but nowadays, people learn dark magic just to be able to use the deceptive spell. He deceived you all for a long time but I’m glad that his secret is already in the open”, Serah said.
“I’m going to kill him once I get all the information I need from him”, Brian vowed.
“If I were you, I wouldn’t do that though”, Serah said
“Baby I know you have a compassionate heart but I’ll advise you not to do that. Killing someone who’s already laced with a deceptive spell might bring trouble for you”, she said.
“How?”, Brian asked.
He was getting confused with every minute that passed. Serah was the one with magic and he wasn’t surprised that she knew a lot about all the concepts.
“The effects and cause of this isn’t known for now, some professors of magic are working on it but I believe that soon, we’ll get an answer”, Serah said.
“I hope they get it bloody soon because I have a feeling that a lot of people are using this to deceive unsuspecting people. So, what should be the fate of the pilot whom I put so much trust in”.
“Darling”, Serah sighed.
She moved closer to him, gripping his hands. She could see the conflicting thoughts in his eyes and she wished she could do something to stop them but she couldn’t.
“I’ll only advise you to follow what your heart says. Follow it and see where it leads you”, she said.
“And what if it tells me to kill him?”, Brian asked.
“If that’s the case, then you’ll know with everything you have in your mind that’s the right thing to do”, she smiled.
Brian place his lips on her’s gently, pouring all his love and affection into that kiss. With her, he could be himself rather than the fearless dangerous Alpha everyone knew him to be.
“I really don’t know why I did what i did to you earlier but I’m sorry baby, it will never happen again”, he smiled.
“I’ve told you I’ve forgiven you. It’s past now baby, let’s forget about it”, Serah smiled.
“Does that mean I can get to have my way with you”, Brian grinned.
“Oh not so fast. You said you have something else to tell me”, she laughed.
Brian sat up, drawing her closer to him. He needed her close for what he was about to tell her as he didn’t know how she was going to react over the news.
“It’s about your parents”, he said.
“Are they dead?”, Serah asked.
There was a lightness to her eyes that Brian grinned at. Serah could be funny at times and this was one of those moments.
“Oh no but I wish they were considering what they have just done”, he said.
“What did they do?”, she whispered.
Now, there was fear in her eyes and Brian hated to see it there. She was usually not good with fear and when she becomes like this, it usually wasn’t good.
“It’s okay baby, it’s nothing I couldn’t handle”, Brian said.
“Tell me Brian, what have they done this time?”, Serah seethed.
“Professor Handel produced a lot of drugs which I suspect might have been laced with poison. As of this morning, the drugs got to the city”, Brian said.
“Oh my gosh! That’s horrible, we have to do something Brian”.
“I’ve already taken care of it”, he smiled.
“Really? How?”, Serah said.
Brian proceeded to tell her everything he had done to stop rgt drugs from getting into the city. He could see her surprise when he told her that he was able to get the workers out of there before he set it on fire.
“That’s very smart of you”, Serah grinned.
“Thank you my Lady. Now, how about we get down to our earlier discussion”.
“You really are insatiable, you know that”, Serah laughed.
She straddled his waist, wrapping her arms around his neck. Brian gripped her tightly, bringing his lips down to her’s. He kissed her fiercely, loving the way her body moulded perfectly to his as she kissed him back with the same energy.
“Let’s take this to our bedroom”, Brian smiled.
“Yes, we shall”, Serah laughed.
Brian rose up to his feet, carrying her towards the bedroom. Serah giggled as she felt his hands roam through her body. She would never get tired of his insatiable touch and the only way she knew she could be away from him was if he died.
Serah prayed for him to live long because now, her heart was in his.
