Mated To An Hybrid

It was now dark, almost midnight and Brian couldn’t sleep. After the conversation they had in the kitchen, they ate and Brian loved every bit of it. They had retired to bed soon after eating but Brian couldn’t fall asleep. Serah was in a deep slumber as he slowly got out of the bed.

He gave her a gentle kiss on her head as he moved downstairs silently. He didn’t want to disturb her since they had a tiring day what with the unveiling and all. When Brian got the the living room, he made his way over to the couch, slumping on it.

He didn’t bother to switch on the lights, he wanted to bask in the comfort the darkness offered. As Brian sat there, a brief history about his life flashed through his mind as he thought about all he had done and achieved in in all of his twenty six years of existence.

Just then, he heard a loud crash. Brian jumped to his feet just as his wolf woke up in a start. Brian looked around the living room but he didn’t find where the source was coming from.

He rushed upstairs, praying fervently that Serah was alright. He didn’t know what he’ll do if he found her injured or worse, dead. He burst through the door and heaved a huge sigh of relief when he discovered that she was okay. He moved towards her, checking her pulse and he sighed yet again when she was breathing normally.

Brian walked out of the room quietly. He had every intention of checking out the whole house, he knew there was an intruder somewhere but he just didn’t know where exactly the person stood.

“Shall we?”, his wolf growled.

“We shall but I need to do this in my form. I can’t have you endangered especially if the intruder is a wolf hunter”, Brian said.

His wolf grumbled before recinding power to him. Brian smiled, happy that for once, his wolf went back without a fight.

He made his way towards the back entrance of the building, his steps silent. When he got there, sure enough, the hedges that aligned the building was destroyed. Brian growled because he knew Serah loved those flowers.

“Who do we have here?”, a voice said.

Brian whipped his head around and discovered that the voice was a masked figure who stood a little distance from him, holding a sword.

“Who the hell are you?”, Brian growled.

His wolf was itching to break to the surface but he tamped him down. He didn’t know if this mysterious man might be a wolf hunter, people who tracked down wolves.

“You don’t need to know my name”, the figure said.

“Why don’t you come into the light and stop hiding like the fool you are”, Brian said.

The figure proceeded to do that but when Brian saw him, there was no recognition in his eyes. The only thing Brian could figure out was the long scar that ran down his forehead to the base of his neck.

“Get off my property”, Brian said.

“And if I don’t?”, the figure said.

“You’ll wish you never got here”.

At that moment, Brian allowed his wolf to take over. He was quite surprised when the intruder turned into his wolf too. While Brian’s was a jet black colour, the intruder’s was a deep red fur.

Brian had never seen a wolf who had that colour before and the only explanation he could give was that the intruder wasn’t from their clan.

“Leave before this gets bloody”, Brian growled.

His wolf scratched the ground, gathering momentum to attack the intruder. Brian could tell that his wolf was holding on to the last bit of patience he had and soon, the intruder would be no more.

“Bring it on”, the intruder said.

Brian attacked at that minute, tearing into a soft spot. He chuckled when the intruder gasped as he tried to control the large amount of blood that gushed out if his neck.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

“I told you. Leave now before I kill you”, Brian said.

“No”, he staggered.

Brian was caught off guard for a bit when the intruder attacked him, taking a swipe at his arm. Brian howled as the pain grew worse. Now, he was convinced that he had to finish him off. He would leave no room for him to attack anymore.

“Cat’s got your tongue?”, the intruder taunted.

Brian rose to his full height, standing on his hind leg. He rendered attacks after attacks on the intruder, not giving him chance to defend himself.

“Any last words”, Brian growled.

He had him on a firm hold by the neck, skillfully blocking his air supply. The intruder wheezed, clawing at Brian’s hands for any form of release but it was futile.

“The clan would get you for this, you wouldn’t escape this time”, the intruder gasped.

“I think the only person who wouldn’t be escaping this time around is you”, Brian said.

“I know but soon, they’ll do to you what they did to your mother”, the intruder laughed.

Brian rendered the final blow, silencing the intruder once and for all. He kicked the body away as he transformed back to his human form.

He sat still as he thought about the words of the intruder. Now, it was confirmed to him that this strange person and his group were responsible for his mother’s death.

“Brian!”, Serah screamed.

She rushed towards him, gripping her nightgown tightly as the wind picked up more speed, blowing everything in it’s wake.

“What happened?”, Serah asked.

Brian nodded at the body that now lay cold on the ground. He felt hollow staring at him and once again he was reminded about the gruesome way his mother died.

“Come, let’s get you inside and cleaned up”, Serah said, helping him to his feet.

That was the moment Brian discovered that he was bathed in blood. Blood from the wounds gushing out from an open wound and some from the intruder’s.

Serah helped him up, slowly leading him inside the house. When they got there, Serah set him down on the high backed chair in the kitchen, pulling open the first aid box.

She decided to use the materials available rather than using her magic which might weaken him the more.

“I can’t believe that few hours ago, we were here, laughing over a plate or spaghetti” Brian said.

“It’s okay, don’t say anything. Just focus on healing” Serah said.

“He just attacked from no where”, Brian rasped.

Serah ignored him, she knew he was in a trans and whatever he said now didn’t hold much weight.

“Brian, please just keep quiet for now”, Serah begged.

“What if I can’t save you?”, he choked.

“Then I’ll save you”, she said.

“Ditto”, Brian said, before sleep finally overtook him.
