Chapter 87
“Nice of you to come out of your hiding Alpha Brian”, Wilfred chuckled.
Brian took a step forward just as he heard hundreds of armour tanks pull up at the garage of his Mansion. They were here, the reinforcements he desperately wanted were here and he knew that the battle with the demon leader would be a walk through the park.
“I wasn’t hiding Wilfred, I was merely taking my time”, Brian said.
His wolf was itching to come out and tear the bastard into pieces but Brian wasn’t ready yet, he wanted it to be the last thing. He wanted to give his wolf the pleasure of dealing with the demon leader himself.
“Then why did you have a change of mind. You could have stayed put so I’ll find you myself then kill you”, Wilfred chuckled.
“That’s too boring, don’t you think?”, Brian smirked.
Jack and Killian came out from their hiding, clutching their guns menacingly just as Antonio walked in. Brian gasped silently when he saw the state the poison master was in. His head was in a deformed shape and his face had different colours on it Brian couldn’t determine what colour it truly was.
“Antonio, glad to see that you’re alive”, Brian mocked.
“You did this. You turned me into a hideous monster, you’ll pay for this”, Antonio spat.
“You turned to this because of your own actions. I’m glad you’re alive because it only means you’re here to die a second death”, Brian laughed.
“Hello Jack, I’m sure you got my letter”, Wilfred mocked.
Jack lunged at him but he was stopped by Killian who placed a gentle hand on his shoulder, silently reassuring him that soon everything would be over.
“It’s good to see that you’re devastated over her death”, Wilfred mocked.
“You’ll never get away with this. You and all your agents”, Jack growled.
“We have. Don’t you see? Your entire building is on lockdown and soon, we’ll be injecting a poison so strong into the atmosphere it would kill off every wolf and even the unborn”, Wilfred said.
“No”, Brian’s wolf gasped.
Antonio chuckled, bringing out a small machine that was steadily counting down to the time the poison would be released.
“You’ll never get away with it”, Brian growled.
“We have, it’s only a matter of time before the poison spreads to every part of the country as it slowly wipes out every existing and non-existing Wolf”, Wilfred chuckled.
Brian watched as Antonio placed the counter on a nearby table, purposely facing it towards them so they could see how much time they had left. Brian’s mind was working furiously now as he tried to decide on the next line of action to take. He had to look for a way to stop the timer and at the same time, he had to fight Wilfred.
Without thinking, his wolf took over, lunging at Wilfred as he fought furiously. Jack and Killian attacked Antonio and professor Handel who came in at that moment. They were surprised to see that the professor and his wife were in fact demons in human form.
“Such a pity for fighting me when your whole existence is about to become extinct”, Wilfred chuckled.
He dealt Brian a heavy blow, sending his wolf flying back. Brian fell to the ground with a sickening thud as he was forced to shift back to his human form. Immediately, he stood up as he grabbed a gun from the ground, shooting at Wilfred who was too swift. He deflected everyone of the bullets, sending it back to Brian.
“He’s too strong, I need help”, Brian shouted.
He glanced at his friends and was happy to see that Antonio and professor Handel lay dead on the ground. Brian growled when he saw the state his friends were in, Jack was a bloody mess while Killian sported a bloody wound at his rib cage which forced him to shift back.
“Your friends are injured so I guess it’s you and i now”, Wilfred chuckled..
Brian shifted once again, tackling Wilfred to tht ground. He growled when the demon pack leader stabbed him on the back with his sharp claws. Brian tried all he could to free himself from the stronghold but it proved difficult as the more he struggled, the more Wilfred held on.
“Just give up Brian”, Wilfred chuckled.
“Never”, Brian seethed.
He pushed him away as he clutched his bloody chest. He gasped when he saw the pool of blood that was around him. Brian collapsed to the ground, growing weaker as his eyes dimmed further. He could just make out Wilfred walking towards him as he prepared to give him the final blow.
“You’ve lost Brian, I’m the victor”, Wilfred laughed.
He grew bigger, his head almost touching the ceiling as a long sword materialized in his hands. Brian struggled to get up but it seemed he was under a spell as every muscle in his legs failed to obey to his command.
“Brian, get up and fight”, Jack said.
He and Killian lay on the ground, holding their point of injury as they crawled towards them, trying to help their boss who was at the brink of death.
“You’re just useless”, Wilfred said.
He threw the sword at him, taking perfect aim at Brian’s chest but Brian was swift enough to catch it mid throw. He gripped the sword tightly even though it pained him to do so as he rose to his feet.
Brian gripped his chest, holding the sword that seemed to glow at his touch. Wilfred’s eyes widened as he watched Brian slowly recover.
“What sort of sorcery is this?”, he thundered.
“It isn’t”, Brian chuckled.
Without another word, he threw the sword at him, aiming for his chest. The sword landed neatly on his chest as Brian watched the demon leader shift back to his normal size.
“You might have defeated me now but I’ll return and when I do, you’ll wish you never crossed me”, Wilfred gasped.
Brian watched with satisfaction as the light left the demon leader’s eyes. He slumped to the ground but staggered back up immediately when his eyes landed on the timer that was slowly counting down to the deadline.
With only thirty seconds to spare, Brian crawled towards the timer in pain as a result of the large gash of wound that was on his chest.
“I have to reach it”, Brian groaned.
“You’re closer to it, try Brian”, Killian croaked.
Brian staggered towards the machine, his hands barely touching it but at the end, he switched it off with just ten seconds to spare.
Brian slumped to the ground as the reality of what just happened crashed through his mind. The battle was over, he had defeated Willfed.
“It’s over man”, Jack chuckled.
“Yes, it’s over”, Brian sighed.
Just before the darkness enveloped him, he saw a blinding flash of light and he knew that help had come, he and his friends would be fine because they had fulfilled their promises to each other and now, it was time to rest.
