Chapter 64
“Oh dang!. Brian, I just realized I haven’t picked up my dress from the boutique”, Serah said.
It was two days to the coronation and tensions were high. Brian had already deployed more than a thousand security operatives for the occasion. Serah knew he didn’t want to take any chances hence the deployment of those men.
“Okay baby, let’s go now”, he said.
“I’ll meet you downstairs, I need to grab my purse real quick”, Serah said.
Brian kissed her before making his way downstairs to wait for her in the car. Serah made her way to the bathroom since she was pressed as a result of binge drinking a lot of drinks that morning.
When she was done, she grabbed her purse from a nearby table, fixing her makeup before heading to the garage downstairs. Brian had told her countless times that she didn’t need to wear makeup because she was beautiful just the way she was but Serah refused because if there was one thing she knew, it wasn’t good for her. She needed to look her position as the new Luna of the whole pack.
“What the hell are you doing here and how did you get past my guards?”, Brian seethed.
Serah stopped in her tracks as she trained her ears to listen to more of what he was saying. She stood at a corner just before she was to get to the garage. She had no idea who Brian was talking to but she decided to wait to see if she could have an idea of whoever it was.
“It doesn’t matter. What matters is I’m here now, I hope that bitch of a mate isn’t here”.
Serah seethed as she watched her anger rise to the surface. The voice belonged to Benita. The conniving bastard had smuggled her way in and Serah had a feeling that none of the guards knew about it
She decided to wait a while before making her presence known because she wanted to see what Brian would do about it.
“Don’t you dare speak about my mate in that manner”, Brian growled.
Even from where she stood, Serah knew he was trying desperately to reign his temper in and any minute from now, he would raise hell.
“And what if I do? Brian, remember I loved you first before she came along. We were meant to be together but she came to destroy everything we’ve built”, Benita croaked.
Serah knew her act was all a deception to draw sympathy and perhaps pity from Brian but she knew her mate wouldn’t fall for her tricks any more. Brian wasn’t a fool when it came to matters of women.
“No, we didn’t build anything. Benita, I caught you pants down with Andrew. How do you explain that”, Brian thundered.From NôvelDrama.Org.
Serah gasped. Now, she knew the reason why Brian hated Andrew so much. They had actually cheated on him and still went on like nothing happened.
“I’ve told you that was a mistake. It was a costly one and I’m sorry to have ever broken your trust”, she sobbed.
“It’s too late. I’ve found my true mate and she’ll be coronated in the next two days, leave my house Benita before I set my wolf on you”, Brian warned.
“Never, I deserve to be crowned Luna. Serah is only after your wealth, she doesn’t love you”, Benita shouted.
“You disgust me, you really do”, Brian seethed.
At that moment, Serah knew it was time to come out of hiding. She walked towards them confidently and was glad to see a shriver of fear in Benita’s eyes. Serah was glad to know that she scared her. She should be scared because Serah vowed to teach her a lesson before she left.
“Baby”, Brian said.
He kissed her full on the lips as he drew her closer to him. Benita stood there, stewing under her anger. She hated to see them like this but there was nothing she could do seeing that they were very much in love.
“Benita, what are you doing in my house?”, Serah asked.
“And who told you this house belongs to you”, she seethed.
Serah noticed that she now adorned a wig after she had set her hair on fire at the full moon night. She smiled, as she thought about the discomfort she would have faced before finding the right one for her.
“Well, in case you don’t know I’m your future Luna and as soon as I’m coronated, you have to answer to me”, Serah said proudly.
At that month, Brian was proud of her for standing up to her. He knew Benita could be a fighter but his mate was a goddamn warrior. Serah couldn’t easily be trampled on and the earlier Benita realized this, the better for her.
“You’ll pay for causing a rift between us”, Benita said.
“No, you’ll pay greatly if you don’t get the hell out of here and fast”, Serah growled.
“I’ll fight you for this even if it’s the last thing I do”, Benita shouted.
At that moment, Serah’s temper was at the surface. Her magic was at the surface now, she launched it towards Benita who scampered away, muttering profanities.
“I’ll get you for this”, she screamed.
Brian burst out laughing, holding his sides. He was happy that Serah taught her a lesson and he knew if she had a brain, she wouldn’t be back anytime soon.
“Babe, you’re fire”, Brian grinned.
Serah chuckled as they climbed into the car. She was happy about what she did at least, that will teach Benita a lesson never to cross her mate.
“Np one claims what’s mine”, she said.
“Now, you see why I was damn furious over Andrew’s words”, Brian said.
He moved the car out of the garage as he eased into the highschool. He took her hands in his, giving it a gentle squeeze.
“Baby, that’s why you aren’t friends with Andrew anymore. I heard what what you told Benita concerning that”, Serah said.
She couldn’t imagine the hurt he must have felt at that period knowing that the two people he trusted stabbed him on the back when he wasn’t looking.
“Yes. And ever since then, I’ve hated them with everything I have”, Brian said.
“Darling, you don’t have to hate them”, Serah said, quietly.
“I think they deserve all the hate they could get”, Brian said.
“Yes I know but you have to free your mind so you’ll allow yourself to heal. Holding a grudge against them would only hurt you”, she said.
Brian knew she was right but he just couldn’t find it within himself to forgive Andrew for that act of betrayal.
“Okay, I’ll think about it. I’m not promising I’ll forgive them but I’ll give it a rethink”, he said.
“That’s all I needed to hear. Thank you baby”, Serah smiled.
Brian kissed her palm because anytime she smiled, it lit up his world. He always had this fuzzy feeling within him and he never wanted it to end.
