Mated To An Hybrid

Back at the club, Brian instructed his friends to take care of the evacuation process as he had to get back to the office for something important.

As he walked into his building, he stopped to think for a minute that he hadn’t really been here for sometime. The private club was like his office and Brian couldn’t explain it but he was comfortable there than in any other place.

“Good day sir”, the secretary said.

Brian had missed the trusty old face he had come to respect. The young chap kept the company running smoothly without little to no problem and for that, Brian was greatful.

“How are you?”, Brian asked.

“Very fine Sir, thank you. There are some files I left on your table that needs your attention as soon as possible”, he said.

“Alright, I’ll look through it and send it back”, Brian said.

He walked towards his office, shutting the door behind him. He shrugged off his Jacket, hanging it on the chair. He took his seat on his office chair, going through the files his secretary had left for him. He looked through the files, sorting out the ones that needed his attention whilst leaving the others.

Soon, he got to a letter that looked particularly intimidating. Brian breathed in the scent, trying to find out who sent it but he got nothing as the scent was dead to the world.

“Why is this happening again?”, his wolf growled.

“I really don’t know. The last time this happened, nothing really serious took place but this time around, I’m a bit anxious”, Brian said.

“The only way we can find out is if we open it”, his wolf said.

Brian feeled the edges of the letter but he still couldn’t find anything. The only thing he could feel was a thin sheet of paper that lay within the envelope and Brian knew it was a letter.

Without thinking, Brian tore the letter to reveal what was inside. What he saw left him confused and a bit worried. Inside the letter was a print, a small paw print and Brian knew it belonged to a female wolf.

He took the letter from it’s holder, reading what was written on it. When he finished reagin through, he sat there numb and cold. The letter was from Wilfred and this just confirmed to Brian that Jack’s sister had died.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

The bloodied paw print was her’s and Brian had a feeling that that was her last moments on earth.

“I can’t show this to Jack”, Brian said.

“You have to, imagine if he finds out somewhere else”, his wolf said.

“I really don’t care if he finds out somewhere else, but he sure as hell isn’t going to hear it from me”, Brian said.

His heart was heavy as he mourned the loss of his friend’s sister. Brian knew that Jack would be crushed and his rage would blind him into doing something that was wrong.

“Suit yourself Brian but I’ll just advice you to do the right thing”, his wolf said.

Brian remained quiet as his mind raced through all the things he could possibly do to break the news to his friend. He took the letter, placing it back inside the envelope and he decided to deal with it much later when he was composed.

“Sir, you have a guest”, his receptionist said through the intercom.

“Who is it?”, Brian asked.

“A man”, he said.

“Alright, send him in”, Brian said.

He wasn’t going to disturb the poor boy on who was requesting to see him. Brian had concluded within himself that anyone who crossed him would dealt with and it looked like this stranger would be the first.

“Hello sir”, a voice said.

Brian whipped his head up to see a fairly talk man walk towards his table. Brian had never seen him before and he wondered what business the man had here in his office.

“Yes, what can I do for you?”, Brian asked.

The man took a seat opposite Brian, smiling sadly. Brian sniffed the air and he knew that this man was a human but the way he behaved showed that he wasn’t pure.

“You know, it’s really bold of you to sit down when I didn’t invite you to”, Brian said.

“By the time I tell you why I’m here, you’ll appreciate my coming”, the man said.

As Brian stared at him more closely, he discovered that this man was in fact older than he looked.

“Alright, let’s get down to business. What do you want?”, Brian said.

“I’m a doctor”, the man said.

Brian was more confused as he stared at the man. There was nothing to indicate whether he was truly a doctor or not as the only thing that stood out in his body was the white mass of hair that sat atop his head.

“And?”, Brian asked.

“I was the one who delivered Serah from her biological mother”, he said.

It seemed like a thunderbolt had hit Brian as he stared incredulously at the strange man. Brian had never expected to see this and the man sitting down here was clearly not joking.

“How? Do you have any idea where her parents might be?”, Brian asked.

That was the only thing he was concerned about. He didn’t know what this man would reveal and he readied himself for what he might say.

“I’m sorry to say but she died”, the doctor said.

Brian gripped the table, trying to reign down on the surge of emotions that threatened to burst through him. He had received two devastating news within the space or twenty minutes and he didn’t know if he could handle more.

“When did this happen? Tell me everything, I really don’t understand”, Brian said.

“It happened some twenty five years ago. She died while birthing her and the dirty professor Handel killed her father before forcefully claiming her as his”, he spat.

“Why? Why would he do something like this, knowing fully well that the truth would come back to bite him”, Brian sighed.

“Sometimes, the ways of humans aren’t understood”, the doctor said.

Brian stared at the man and he knew that what he said held more weight than everything he had been saying.

“You aren’t human?”, Brian asked.

“Far from it”, the man chuckled.

“Then what are you?”, Brian asked.

“I’m a celestial being and I’ve delivered my message”, he said.

He vanished into thin air and Brian sat back on his chair, staring into space.
