Mated To An Hybrid

When Brian said those words, there was dead silence in the hall. A stranger passing at that moment would hear a pin drop due to the silence that filled the hall.

“Brian”, Jack hissed.

He was trying to caution him on how to talk but he knew it was a failed effort. Brian had already let the cat out of the bag and now, it was left for Antonio to begin the game.

Antonio smiled, clapping hid hands together like a master of ceremony. There was a sadistic smile on his face as he walked towards a high backed chair that faced the trio. Brian touched his gun surreptitiously, making sure that it was cocked and ready for use.

“You found me out at the end, I didn’t know you were this smart Brian or should I say Alpha Brian Maslow”, Antonio laughed.

“What the hell is going on”, Killian said.

This wasn’t their plan from the onset and neither knew where this was going but one thing Brian knew was that they wouldn’t leave here without a fight. Already, his wife wolf was itching the get out and the only reason Brian didn’t allow it to was because he knew that it would surely wreak havoc once it was out.

“It turns out that your Alpha and I go way back, I think since elementary school”, Antonio said.

They had now switched back to English and Jack and Killian realized that everything that happened was just a ruse, a disguise to watch the other.

“Antonio, our business offer still stands”, Jack said.

He was trying to bring back some sort of normality but he knew that he was failing woefully as Antonio and Brian were already in loggerheads with each other.

“How do I even know that your business proposal is genuine”, Antonio rasped.

“If it isn’t, we wouldn’t have come here in the first place”, Jack said.

Antonio remained quiet for several minutes, thinking about his words. Jack and Killian knew he might reconsider after all, their sources claimed that the group were badly in need of guns. Brian on the other hand was blood thirsty, all he wanted to do was to kill and destroy especially as this man was responsible for both attacks on him and his mate.

“Alright, open the goods”, Antonio ordered.

“Not so fast a Antonio. We also need to see what you’re offering”, Brian said.

“Artful negotiation, I like that”, he smiled.

He proceeded to call one of his guards who walked towards them with a bag containing some of the deadliest potions in the world. Brian knew that one of those potions was valued at millions of dollars and one of them was capable of killing a whole country.

“How many pieces Antonio?”, Killian asked.

He wanted to know what he was willing to release as against what they wanted to give out. Antonio could be very deceptive especially when it comes to business. They couldn’t put it past him not too try anything funny.

“A hundred pieces”, he said.

The guard placed the bag on the table, standing back as he patiently waited for orders from his boss.

“Here it is my friends”, Antonio said.

Brian opened the bag and true to his words, a hundred pieces of vials in different glass bottles sat peacefully inside the bag. Brian knew that they weren’t what they looked like as one drop of the liquid or gas could kill them all instantly.

“We have to talk first before we come to any agreement”, Brian hissed.

“I’m all ears my friend”, Antonio smiled.

“Why did you send your son to attack us”, Brian thundered.

“To be honest, I didn’t. It turned out that your son had a bone to pick with you and so , he tracked you down in your home in Paris”, Antonio said.

Brian’s wolf shifted within him, scratching his paws at the surface. He could tell that it was restless.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

“He’s lying”, his wolf said.

Brian smiled because he had a feeling all along that Antonio was lying. Ever since he knew him, Antonio hardly told the truth and the only reason he did was if he was under duress or what he was pursuing could be of benefit to him.

“And you never deemed it fit to stop him?”, Brian said.

“You know boys, I couldn’t”, he said vaguely.

“Well Antonio, I think you’re a fantastic liar. Your son hurt my mate, almost took her powers away and you stand here to lie to me that you didn’t know about any of this?”, Brian shouted.

Antonio’s guards cocked their guns and they knew that soon, battle was imminent. Killian and Jack didn’t waste anymore time as they also cocked their guns because when the storm hits the roof, they would always protect their own.

Brian stood up all of a sudden, walking towards Antonio. His guards stood in front of their boss, blocking his access to him.

“Brian… Careful”, Jack hissed.

Brian knew he was right but at that moment, he couldn’t control the rage of emotions that flowed through him. He wanted to spill blood and Antonio was going to be the first.

“You know I won’t leave here without a fight”, Brian said.

“I know and that’s why I’m ready. Now!”, he shouted.

Right before their eyes, several guards, numbering up to a hundred filled the hall, dropping poisonous gases. The pinkish gas filled the hall and Brian and his friends had a hard time controlling their breathing.

Antonio and his guards adorned gas masks just before they opened fire on them. Brian took cover behind a huge table, firing at Antonio and the others.

He didn’t feel so good as the gas was slowing cutting off his air supply, he looked around for anything that could help him take enough clean air but there was nothing as all entrance and exists had been blocked by the men in gas masks.

“Over here”, Jack said.

He threw a gas mask towards Brian who caught it effortlessly. He put it on immediately, sucking mouthfuls of clean air. Now, his vision was clear due to the poisonous gas leaving his system. At that moment, he allowed his wolf to take over and was glad that his wolf wasn’t affected by the gas.

Jack and Killian changed to their wolf too and together, the trio fought off Antonio and his guards. They took on the offensive as they slowly made their way to an emergency exit.

“Going so soon Brian”, Antonio mocked.

Brian growled, pouncing on him as he dealt him blow after blow. Antonio deflected, trying to push off the huge wolf that sat on him but he couldn’t because Brian in his wolf form weighed thrice his size.

“Any last words Antonio”, Brian said, raising a huge paw.

“I’ll see you in hell soon”, Antonio spat.

Quick as lightening, Brian struck him dead. Antonio’s body lay limp on the ground as Brian stood on his hind leg, howling into the night.
