Chapter 49
“How did Serah take the news that you were leaving?”, Jack said.
They were aboard Brian’s private jet which would take them to Paris. Ever since Brian left the house, his thoughts had been on her and how much he missed her. Just before he left, he had already given strict instructions to his men to always keep an eye on her and the entire building. It wouldn’t do him good if he comes back and meets his mate injured or worse dead.
He wouldn’t make it easy for anyone who was supposed to watch her yet failed in that simple duty.
“She didn’t want me to go but I had to convince her”, Brian said.
“It’s normal for every woman. My mate didn’t even want me to go too”, Jack said.
“How is she by the way?”, Brian asked.
“She’s okay. The baby is due any moment from now so we’re just preparing”, Jack said.
“I can’t believe you’re going to be a father man. I mean, you were the last to decide back in high school”, Brian said.
“I know, things change. Now, I know the value of family and I wouldn’t change my mind about it anyday”, he said.
“Even though Serah and I haven’t had a child yet, I perfectly understand what you’re saying. There’s this feeling you get knowing that there is someone waiting and hoping you return safely, it’s a good feeling man”, Brian said.
Soon, the jet was airborne as it made its way towards Paris the city of love. Brian wasn’t going there for love, he was going there to fight and with luck on his side, he hoped to succeed.
“Did you brief Killian about everything he needs to take care of?”, Brian asked.
They had left Killian behind to take care of other matters and Brian knew he would do excellently well. Brian wasn’t only good at cracking jokes and making the atmosphere lively, he was also good at handling other important issue and Brian knew that beneath all she joy that Killian radiated, he had the heart of a gutter fighter.
“Yes, he’s going to take care of everything as planned”, Jack said.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Good. How about the consignment, did the army chief like it?”, Brian asked.
“Yes. As a matter of fact, he even requested for more but I told him we don’t have ammos on ground until the next two months. By then, we should have gotten back what we lost in the hands of the demon pack.
“Good thinking Jack, thank you. So is there anything pending we need to take care of”, Brian said.
“None for now. All we need to do and look forward to is the pending battle between our pack and Wilfred’s”, Jack said.
“Why won’t Wilfred’s pack rescind power. I don’t understand what this fight is about”, Brian said.
“Power is like a drug. It’s not easy to give it up especially when you have people who are solidly behind you”, Wilfred said.
“But the people who are following Wilfred are fools. He isn’t championing a good cause, just one that would no doubt cause haoc and chaos”, Brian said.
The jet shook a bit as they passed through a particularly disturbing turbulence. Brian gripped his seat, closing his eyes tightly as he eased the tension his wolf was currently facing.
“It’s just a turbulence, it will surely pass”, Jack chuckled.
“It’s not that man. I’m just scared especially since my father died, you, Killian and my mate are the only people I can confess that to”, Brian said.
“I know and I’m just assuring you that you have nothing to be scared of, we’re solidly behind your back and if the enemies plan to attack, they have to pass through us before they get to you”, Jack said.
“My mate wouldn’t even allow me die. We’ve made something like a vow, never to die without each other’s permission”, Brian chuckled.
“I can actually relate”, Jack said.
Brian stared at him, not quite understanding what he was saying. There were some parts about him that he didn’t really understand. Those were Jack’s dark past, a place he didn’t want to visit.
“What do you mean Jack?”, Brian said.
Jack sighed, pulling open his seatbelt. He picked up his glass of wine beside him, taking a sip as he thought about how best he could relate what he was about to say to Jack.
“It’s a long story”, Jack said.
“Good thing we’re on the road to another country, we have all the time Jack. Go on, I’m listening.
“So, you might not know this but I am a twin. I have a twin sister”, Jack said.
Brian sat up, staring at him like he had grown two heads. This was the first time Jack would be sharing this information and Brian had a hard time processing it.
“You have a twin? What the hell man, this is the first time you will be sharing this information”, Brian said.
“I know, I just didn’t see the importance especially since we can’t save her anymore”, he said.
“What! Don’t tell me she’s dead”, Brian said.
Jack sighed, sipping once again hid glass of wine. Brian could tell that it was a bit hard for him to share the information he just shared and the only reason he shared it was the due to the fact that Brian was his best friend.
“No but I wish she was”, he said.
There was a confused expression on Brian’s eyes now as he tried to understand what he was saying. Jack wasn’t making any sense as his words weren’t easy to understand.
“Why? Make me understand man”, Brian said.
“She was captured by Wilfred the moment we were born”, he said.
“That’s a long time ago. No offence man but do you think she’s still alive”, Brian said.
“I have no idea but I know she is, I can feel it through our mind link”, he said.
“Not to worry man, we’re going to put a stop to her captivity the minute we land in Paris”, Brian said.
“No, don’t do anything rash Brian. Erica has been living there all these years and I’ve been living fine. If we’re to attack wilfred’s lair, we have to get prepared. And besides, that’s not in our plans right now. We have to finish up what’s on our menu first before moving onto another one”, he said.
“But it’s your sister we’re talking about here man, aren’t you worried about her?”, Brian said.
“Of course I am, no sane person wouldn’t be. But Brian, I’ve come to realize one thing and that is one thing has to die before another thing can rise”, he said.
“So does that mean you want your sister to die?”, Brian said.
“Of course not. All I’m saying is we deal with what’s on our table now before we move to other ones”, Jack said.
“I promise you man, I’ll help free your sister. It might only take a matter of time, but I’ll get it done”, Brian vowed.
“Thank you”, Jack said, quietly.
Brian nodded, that was just an additional task to his overflowing mission against Wilfred and he knew that there was still more to come.
