Mated To An Hybrid

“How long man?”, Brian asked.

They were currently on the highway, driving towards the neighbouring city. Jack was at the wheels while Brian took shot gun.

“A little about ten minutes, we’ll be there soon”, he said.

“Okay. That reminds me, how’s your mate and the baby doing’, Brian smiled.

With his hectic weeks, he had completely forgotten to ask about his best friend’s family. Jack was a private person, he hardly talked about them except if he was being asked.

“They’re fine. She’s almost due to deliver, anytime soon”, he smiled.

“I’m glad, and I’m glad that you finally want to settle down with the woman you love. That’s the dream man”, Brian chuckled.

Just then, gunshots were fired as the bullets reigned down on the car. Brian ducked, whipping out his gun.

“Take cover Jack, keep your head down”, Brian screamed.

Front the front view of the car, he counted about six attackers who advanced slowly, shooting without abandon at the car.

“Who the hell are they?”, Brian screamed.

“Wilfred’s boys. See the tattoo at the base of their neck, that’s how you’ll know them. They must have gotten information we were on this road”, Jack said.

He cocked his gun as he opened fire at two of the attackers who were closer. Brian fired a few shots from his end, missing some.

“Damn, we need to get out and take cover”, Brian hissed.

Slowly, Jack put the car to a stop by the corner of the road. The duo got down as they ran towards an old building that could provide cover for them against the attackers. From their view point, they could see some of the attackers latch on the car, setting it on fire.

“Fuck, now we don’t have any means of escape. What are we going to do?”, Brian seethed.

“Calm down, Brian. We’ll think of a way”, Jack said.

Brian reloaded his gun, putting in more bullets. He knew that there would be a mini war and lord knew he wouldn’t be caught unawares.

“They are advancing, we need to take cover and attack them unawares” Jack said.

The duo ran all the way to the back of the warehouse. Brian took the rear end while Jack took that front, they could hardly be seen as they were effortlessly covered by huge oil tanks.

Brian knew that this warehouse was once a thriving hub for oil production hence the large oil tanks that littered the whole place.

“On my count. 1, 2, 3”, Brian screamed.

They jumped out of their hiding, firing right at the attackers. Brian was amazed at the large amount of attackers that surrounded them.

“Why the hell are they so many”, Brian thundered.

“Stop yapping Brian and start fighting”, Jack growled.

Brian fired off so many shots at a point he couldn’t keep track. By now, he was beyond tired and badly in need of rest.

“Sit back Brian, let me take over”, his wolf said.

Brian agreed, releasing his hold on himself. He allowed his wolf to take over as he gave in totally to the sensation of his bones changing and shifting to be in tune with his new form.

“Let’s do this”, his wolf howled.

Brian gave him control totally, relaxing as he watched his wolf fight from within. Jack had already changed into his wolf form and together, they fought off the remaining attackers without breaking a sweat. That was the power their wolves had, the power to kill and destroy especially when it was threatened.

Soon, all the attackers lay dead on the ground. Brian’s wolf howled into the morning sun, a howl of victory and power.

“Let’s get out of here”, Jack said.

He had morphed back into his human form. Brian changed back, giving his wolf a fist bump before walking towards Jack. Thru climbed into one of the cars the attackers brought since theirs was burnt beyond recognition.

“I found this”, Jack said.

He pulled out a chain from his side pocket, placing it on the dashboard of the car. The chain glistened in the early morning sun. Looking closely, Brian discovered that there was a sort of print at the side of the chain.

“What’s this”?, Brian asked.

“I don’t know yet but I’ll find out soon. I pulled it out of one of those bastard’s pocket, I’ll take it to base and run a scan on it”, he said.

“Okay, let’s get out of here”, Brian huffed.

Jack stared at him and discovered that he was hurt. His shoulder was bleeding profusely and Brian didn’t even know he was hurt.

“Man, you got shot. You didn’t know”, Jack said, putting the car on reverse.

“I guess my wolf shielded the pain. I don’t feel a thing”, Brian said.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

“We need to get you to a hospital right away, it doesn’t look good”, Jack said.

“I’ll agree with you on this. Let’s ditch this mission for another time, Jack find me a hospital and fast”, Brian growled.

His eyes were getting dim due to the that radiated all around his body. He gripped the car handle, trying to fight off the nausea that threatened to sink him into oblivion.

“Stay with me boss”, Jack shouted.

Already, Brian’s senses were already on the low and the only reason he was still alive was due to his wolves effort to keep them awake.

“Jack, I can’t”, Brian huffed.

He felt weak, groaning in the back seat of the car. He didn’t understand why a common bullet could hurt and make him weak all of a sudden. Brian knew that there was more to it but he didn’t understand what it was.

“Just stay alive, stay alive boss”, Jack shouted.

The car was flying now, just a whirlwind among other cars. Jack couldn’t believe that his best friend and boss was slowly loosing it. He decided to keep him talking, he knew that was the only way he could keep him long enough before they got to the hospital.

“Remember boss, Serah loved you. Your mate does”, Jack said.

“Oh yessahs, I loveeds herss toos”, Brian said, his words slurring.

“We’re almost there, please hold on”, Jack said.

“Hurry.. I think I’m goingss”.

“You’re not going anywhere boss, stay with me”, Jack ordered.

Brian smiled, seeing a bright light. He knew where he was going and he couldn’t wait to be there.
