Patrick

Patrick

Jul 23, 2024

Nothing more relaxing than running into the woods in the mornings, crossing the threshold of the garden door to the kitchen i take off my shirt and throw it in the laundry basket,

*ting*

Hmm? there's a message, where i left my phone? oh right on the countertop, fuck, it's from Joan
''Good morning Patrick, thank you for the flowers they were lovely. Thinking of you too. See you soon'' he really wrote that? i wouldn't put my finger on it but ... well who cares? he wrote back and i'm glad he did,
''What make you smile like that?" Brimm said as enters the kitchen with an apple in hand, i show him Joan's text and he smile,
''No shit, he really text you, so he liked the flowers (...) i'm glad i'm very happy for you bro''
''Yeah, i think he did, thanks''
''Now the trip will be for free, sweet'' Brimm said in a mocking tone
''And here comes the stupid comment and for your information i'm not going anywhere without him from now on bec(...)"
''If he agrees to"
"What? what do you mean" i stop scrambling the eggs for breakfast
''He seems like a capable man that wouldn't accept your apeshit conduct'' said the fucker while he bite his apple, hope he chokes on the apple (...) ok no, but at least bite his tongue
*munch* *munch*
and he dare to smile, the fucker (...)
"You're right, he seems that type of person and i like it (...)'' i keep doing breakfast, this time is scramble eggs, toasts, bacon and fruit, very simple really
''Mhmm he's cute" Brimm said, knowing that i will go berserk with that comment but i held back and the fucker smirk (...)
''Sooo he knows already or not? Have you already talked about it?''
''Nope, not yet maybe today (...) it's too soon i (...)'' i stopped plating,
''You have to, before your inner beast take control and you know it, if that happen it is even more dangerous for both of you if you haven't initiated the bond''
''I know, i know (...) it's difficult i (...)'' putting the plates on the table,
''I understand that you're scared but maybe if you tell him while having s(...)''

*thump*

''Don't you dare finish that sentence because the next time will be a knife not a recipe book i will throw at you, imagine if it's your mate we were talking about''
''Sorry ok? sometimes i don't think''
''Yeah clearly"
''Ughh ~ just finish your breakfast and go, i don't want to see you right now just seeing you pisses me off"
''But you told me yesterday that we have to see Luca'' is he really pouting?
''Just eat and keep that thoughts for yourself, i don't want my mate to know it that way that's pretty low, even for you''
''I know ok? i'm really sorry (...) can you pass me the honey please (...)''
''Stop pouting, when you find your mate i'm gonna tell you the fucking same thing''

*munch* *munch*

At that moment i smell Brimm's sadness,
''You're the blessed one here, not me (...) not ever (..)''
''Now, you're (...)"

*ring* *ring*

''Is Joan?"
''Nope, it's Luca, come on let's go we're running late''
''Oh come on (...) i can't eat this fast'' said Brimm as he eats quickly stuffing nearly the whole bacon in his mouth
''Luca, how are you? ready for our meeting?''
''yeah, i'm here but don't see you anywhere so i'll buy some coffee while i wait''
*tut* *tut* *tut*
he's a man that always gets straight to the point, you can never create a conversation with him, hope today may be a special day,
''He's there, we should get going''
Last month i have been investigating about Luca's father death and i found out that Luca had killed him, the reason? i don't know but i plan to find out today, he and the old man were the names that more appeared on those papers i took from his office, maybe Luca is aware of his father being accomplice in the old man's dirty secrets.



"Hey Luca, thank you for the waiting''
''Mm? you always come together? with Brimm i mean"
''Yes, why? does that bother you?''
''No, it just amazed me that both of you still have a good relationship through all the shit you got from Theodore"
''We a(...)'' Brimm's was getting defensive about Luca's comment, but i stopped him because i wanna know how Luca knows about it, it intrigues me
''So, how's being the Alpha of your pack going? is it difficult?''
''Nah, easy peasy nothing i haven't done before now that we have discussed that topic, tell me what do you want to talk about''
''In fact i wanted to talk about some papers i had found in the old man's office years ago, they mentioned A.R.M.B.E  and both of our parents names on it, do you know anything about it?''
''(....)'' he said nothing for a short while, he lean on his chair crossed his arms and look around, that's when i spot Aiden, his right hand, i knew something is off
''Ok, time to go'' i thought that he would leave us there but both of them got up and turn to us,
''Why don't you two join us? it seems that we have to continue the interrogation elsewhere''
Suspicious, Brimm took me by the arm trying to warning me, i know it's dangerous but i really want to know if my suspicions are right,
''Lead us then'', we leave the coffee shop and headed towards their car, when we got into the car Aiden start talking
''Alpha, that was a dangerous move (....)'' he said as he looked at the rearview mirrors,
''They already know all of us, so don't worry now, by the way, we can talk about it while i drive'' Luca seems anxious, for an Alpha on the outside he was very calm but (...)
''They are an organization as you already know, i presume, i don't know when they formed but it was before the fiasco that happened in your town Patrick, all the packs near yours knows about it because you were the ones who had more deaths but in my pack there where no losses (...)''
''What? what do you mean by that?''
''Our shitty fathers were members of that organization (...)'' fuck
''I had my suspicions about it but (...)'' i can't believe it (...) not really, but it still surprises me
''Yeah i knew about it 100 years ago, but back to A.R.M.B.E, they are an organization that traffics with omegas from different species wolves, cats, vampires, faes, whatever creature they know exist they take them away from their families and sold them to *snarl* humans *snarl* (...) who can afford to pay for them (...)''
''They sold them as something exotic, rare (...) for exorbitant amounts of money'' Aiden said, he's hidding something i smell it,
''But how, how they know about omegas? how they know how to find them? what the fuck is going on? and who the hell are these ARMwhatever guys you are talking about?!!'' Brimm was pale and nervous, i don't know about the existence of omegas in his pack but in my pack there are two, Jaden brothers;
''Didn't you updated Brimm about it? ok not my business, but long story short, ARMBE is an organization that as you know now, deals with trafficking omegas around the world but i'm going to focus just in our packs ok? so, Theodore and William were members of that shit, capisce? now, back to the subject William made people disappeared from the pack records for nearly 150 years or more, now imagine who they were? (....)"
''Omegas (...)'' Brimm and I said at unison
At that moment the car was silent, no one knew what to say,  but out of nowhere i remembered a person i had been looking for,
''(...) by any chance does the last name Miller rings a bell?'' i asked,
''Mmm, i'm not sure, let me check some documents i got in my office, is that person important? someone you know?''
''He's the son of one of my executioners (...) he dissapeared suddenly back then without a single trace (...)''
"Are you talking about Henry's son, Sam? why'' Brimm asked,
''Don't you remember the bloodshed Henry do to his wife Martha and his daugthers Rose and baby Myrtle? and suspiciously Sam dissapeared that same night just to be acknowledge, fuck i (...)'' i still have nightmares with that scene
''i know, the scene plays in my head from time to time (...)'' Brimm said in a sad tone but this time, i smell remorse on him,
''Ok, now that i have the context i'm going from there to look for (...)?'' Luca said,
''Sam Miller''
''I will help but get used to the idea that he is probably dead''
''Worth the effort i guess'' and maybe i finally can have answers,
''I kill him" Luca said as he tightened the steering wheel,
"What? who you kill?" Brimm asked,
''Alpha it's not a g(...)'' Aiden said nervously
''My father, i torture got information from him and then i let him die''
''May ask why?"
"I already told you, information i need to get it, i have been collecting information for nearly 100 years so i can make him pay for his sins"
''Why don't you inform the Council, they mayb(...)" Brimm asked,
''Patrick, your brother is always this naive or is just stup(...)"
*snarl* *growl*
"Watch what you say Luca, we can be on good terms but not if you offend my brother" i said in a very wary tone
''Awwn, your brotherly connection makes me puke but FYI some members of the council have been acting strange so be careful, both of you" Luca said like if he knows something we didn't
"What do you mean strange?" i said
"Just don't trust and keep your eyes open at all times ok, well gentlemen the ride is over and by the way the information of my father's death is classified so keep it to yourselves," Luca said as we got out of the car and closed the door
''Is classified,(...) my ass" Brimm said in a mocking tone 
''Here isn't the army or the government, he need to take the stick out of his ass, fucker, i hate him''
''Ahaha yeah i know, but look the good thing is that i got the info i was searching for and now we can take a walk while chatting about you going to the police station with Cameron for the statement from yesterday''
"Ugh ~ how many people that i don't like i have to talk to huh?"
''Ahahah how you become the Alpha throwing tantrums like that?
"My charm maybe?"
"Ahahaha now you're being ridiculous, go now, we talk later i have to visit Joan"
"ok ok, awwn the newlyweds, oh right, not yet but go Romeo and get your Joanliette ahahaha"
"I'm going now, you silly (...) take care ok Patrick?"
"Yeah, you too"
