Chapter twenty

It's been a few weeks since the attack on the club and ever since then, everything has been relatively quiet. There was no word yet from Alpha Jed and his pack but Laura knew it was only a matter of time before everything went down.

Now at his office, Drew was looking at some of the reports he had gotten over the past few weeks concerning some of the businesses that were scattered around the country.

"We have a meeting with the military governor next week. The old man is requesting some arms", Killian said.

Since the attack at the club, Brian was a bit happy that security had been beefed up. They still didn't know who was behind that attack as the only surviving invader had died that night.

"How much is he asking for this time?", Drew asked.

They were regular suppliers of arms to the military government. Even though it really wasn't allowed, Drew still found a way to deliver the goods to those who needed it.

"A little close to a million", Jack said.

Drew sat back on his chair. The request this time around was huge. This was much bigger than the ones they usually supplied. Not that they weren't capable, it was all a matter of security. Sending goods as sensitive as arms and ammunition were bound to draw attention and that was something Drew desperately wanted to avoid.

"We need to have this meeting. We can't possibly supply that large amount of goods to the governor, it's bound to draw in attention", Drew said.

His wolf was restless now and when he was, it usually meant something wasn't right. Drew calmed him down, silently reassuring him that he was capable of handling whatever it was that came his way.

"I agree. This is an unusual request", Killian chipped in.

"What day has been slated for the meeting?", Drew asked.

"On a Friday. The governor wouldn't be available on all the other days except that day", Jack said.

"Alright, put it at 3p.m. I need to take my woman on a dinner date later that day", Drew grinned.

Jack and Killian chuckled at their friend's lovestruck look. They were happy that he had finally found someone who completed him. Not only that, it was someone who was more than his match, an Alpha wolf who could match his temper.

"How is she by the way?", Jack asked.

"To be honest, she's been trying to stay strong. The attack at the club really shook her so she's been trying to recover", Drew sighed.

"She's a strong woman Drew, don't you worry about her. She's an Alpha wolf after all. Her strength almost matches yours", Killian said.

"Yeah, I know that. So Jack, what about you? When did you plan on telling me about your incoming pup", Drew chuckled.

Once again, Jack grew red in the face. Drew couldn't believe that the strong willed man suddenly became a chicken at the mere mention of a child.

"Jack goes all mushy when we talk about his child", Killian grinned.

"We only just discovered about two moons ago. I wanted to tell you but the attack happened and I didn't get any chance again", he said.

"Well, I'm glad the baby is on its way. You'll soon become a father Jack, I'm so proud of you", Drew grinned.

"Yeah... Yeah", Jack chuckled, rolling his eyes.

"Killian, what about you? Have you found your mate?", Drew laughed.

The duo knew that Killian would rather eat his head than find someone who matched his character. For one Killian was very selective especially when it came to his choice of partners, he preferred to settle for a girl who wasn't known than dating or getting married to a woman whom the whole country knew.

"Still searching but I believe I'll find her soon", he said vaguely.

Alpha Drew decided to let him be. He didn't want to trigger anything that might cause an argument amongst them.

Just then, the office door burst open to reveal Alpha Jed, Drew's archenemy. Immediately, Jack and Killian drew their guns out, ready to engage him. Drew whistled, alerting them to keep their guns down.

"You have the guts to come in here and challenge me", Drew growled.

"I run this show Alpha Drew you should know that", Alpha Jed smirked.

"What does Alpha Jed show? Sometimes, I really wonder if you have a brain", Drew growled.

His wolf was prancing about, ready to unveil itself. Alpha Drew maintained his cool, giving Alpha Jed the stink eye.

"What do you want, Alpha Jed?"Jack asked.

"I came to see your boss not you weakling", he chuckled.

Jack stepped forward, ready to beat the living daylight out of the asshole who ran his mouth the way he liked.

Drew stopped him in his tracks, placing a comforting hand on his shoulder. He couldn't afford it if any of his friends fought their archenemy and blood ended up being spilled. Drew knew it would be disastrous especially since they didn't know why Alpha Jed was here.

Jed, for the last time, what are you doing here?", Drew growled.

His wolf was almost at the surface now, ready to tear into the bastard's face. Drew could also sense his friend's wolves, each preparing for the battle that seemed inevitable.

"I wouldn't have bothered for matters such as this but I'm here because this concerns me personally", he growled.

"State your business Alpha Jed or get out", Killian seethed.

"I will, all in due time. And I must advise you, don't try anything funny. Your building is surrounded", he smirked.

Drew walked up to him. He was face to face with him and his hands itched to slap away the smug smile that flutteredhis face.

"For the last time Alpha Jed, state your business", Drew growled.

His hands had given way to claws and he was so close to slashing his face when Alpha Jed's expression changed to one of pity.

If there was one thing Drew hated more than lies, it was pity. He hated it if someone felt pity for him, it only showed that he was weak and powerless to do anything.

"You're about to make a terrible mistake", Alpha Jed said.

Drew wore a confused expression as he racked his brain to think about the meaning behind those words. Try as he may, he couldn't understand what he meant which left him feeling restless.

"What do you mean Alpha Jed?", Jack asked.

"That's all I'm going to say, it's left for you to use your brain",he said.

Right before their very eyes, Alpha Jed transformed into his wolf form as he jumped out of the window. Drew stared at him, itching to follow him to find out what he really meant by those words.

"What did the idiot mean by those words?", Killian asked.

"I have no idea but we better be prepared for anything that comes our way", Drew said.

Later on, his friend's left and he was left all alone in his office. His mind thought desperately about what Alpha Jed said but he couldn't get any sensible answer. He only hoped that they weren't making any grave mistake he didn't know of.

His mind flashed to his mate Laura and somehow, Alpha Drew knew that Jed's warnings were connected to her.

He could vividly remember how she almost died in their hands. Heck! They attempted to rape his mate and that was something he could never forgive.

Now, at the comfort of his office and the silence it brought, Alpha Drew was in a dilemma. He loved Laura with everything he had and would never want to see her suffer or get hurt in any way. Alpha Jed and his entire pack were planning something terrible and it was only a matter of time before what they planned would be revealed.

********************

"Should we be worried about those words?" Laura asked.

Alpha Drew was at home, sipping a glass of martini. He recounted everything that had happened to her and he could tell that she shared the same concern with him. Alpha Jed wasn't known to say something when he didn't mean it and this only proved that he was warning them about something.

Drew was perplexed because he didn't understand why someone he hated would warm them about something if he didn't have an ulterior motive.

"That's what I'm trying to understand. To be honest darling, I don't know what to think anymore. Alpha Jed could be so cunny and at the same time wise. That's what makes him a great leader of his pack", Drew said.

"I'll tap into my magic later on and find out where we stand. Baby, please don't worry about those words", Laura said.

She snuggled into his outstretched arms, breathing in his intoxicating scent. She could feel the tension by the way his arms gripped her fiercely. For the past few weeks, this has been his constant mood. She couldn't blame him though because the life they both loved was dangerous, a never ending battle between those who wanted to see them defeated by all means.

"Thank you love, that would be helpful", Drew smiled.

"Hmm... Not quite.'' Laura said, straddling his waist.

Like a flash, Drew's tiredness was gone. He sat up with her still on his lap. He could tell that she was about to get naughty and he couldn't wait for the ride.

Laura unbuttoned her blouse, flinging it to the far side of the room. Drew groaned when he saw that she didn't wear a bra. Her nipples perked up at him under the powerful Chandelier that hung from the ceiling. He cupped a breast, kneading it in his warm hands. His mate was going to be the death of him and he wouldn't have it any other way.

"No bra? I like", he said, plucking a nipple in his mouth.

Laura groaned from the heated sensation of Drew's mouth on her breasts. The feeling flooded through her as she grinded her heat into his already hard member.

Drew switched to the next breast, sending her to an all time high. Laura moaned shamelessly, her eyes beginning to close from the pleasure her mate was giving to her.

"Drew", she gasped.

"Not quite", he groaned.

He flipped her over the couch, her ass in the air for his bidding. Drew gripped her already soaked panties, shredding it without a second thought. Now, she was fully exposed to him. Her perfectly round ass glistened under the light as his mate patiently waited.

"Such a beautiful ass", Drew chuckled.

He dipped two fingers into her wet fold loving the way she was wet and ready for him. Laura trembled, gripping the chair for support lest she fell to the ground.

"Who's ass is this?", Drew growled.

Laura remained quiet, testing his patience. She wanted to see him fall apart from her sensuous body. She felt a sharp sting on her butt cheek, Drew had just slapped her. Laura looked behind her and saw him grin manically.

"Oh, you want to play that game? Then, be my guest", Drew said, slapping her butt again.

"Yours. It's yours", Laura cried out.

The sensation was too raw for her. Her magic was heightened now and together with Drew's assault, she was on overdrive.

"Say it again", Drew growled.

"Yours Drew, it's yours", Laura cried.

"That's a good girl", he said, rubbing the sting.

"I hate you, you know that", Laura laughed.

"Too bad pretty girl, you're stuck with me. Now, you better hold on for this ride", Drew growled.

Without warning, he slammed into her, sending her over the edge. Laura cried out from the pleasure, gripping the chair firmly. Her mate worked his way into her, thrusting into her with all the love he could muster.

"Serah! I love you", Drew groaned.

She smiled, grinding on his erection. She watched with pleasure as his face scrunched up with concentration. Laura loved being in control, she loved bringing him down to her knees and the way to do that was with her body.

"I'm going to-", Laura moaned.

Together, they both went over the edge. Drew pulled out of her, grabbing her as he settled them on the couch.

"You'll be the death of me, you know that", Drew smiled.

"Then you'll die a happy death", Laura giggled.

She was relaxed, free and happy to be in the hands of her lover. Drew knew just how to put her over the edge then bring her back to sanity. For him, she would lose any semblance of control she had.

"Do you have to go to the office tomorrow?", Drew asked.

The weather was beginning to get cold even for her wolf. She shivered as her mate put his large hands over her body, shielding her from the cold.

"Yes, I need to. There are some things I need to take care of. It's concerning some of my properties in other states", Drew said.

"Okay, just be careful babe and especially around Alpha Jed and his son", Laura said.

"I will. You can trust me on that, I don't plan on doing anything risky especially now that you're mine", Drew sighed.

He nozzled her neck, breathing in the intoxicating scent of after sex. Anytime he was with her, he felt as if all his problems had magically gone away. Laura had that charm about her, she made one feel safe.

"That's better. If you don't, I swear it, I'll haunt you even in your sleep", she laughed.

Drew chuckled but he knew that it could be partly true especially with the kind of person she was. An Alpha wolf doesn't say things without going on with it and Laura was one Alpha who stood by her words.

"How are your friends? Jack and Killian?",she asked.

Drew told her all about his friend's help and how they had stood by him when the club was attacked. Laura chuckled when she learnt that Jack was expecting a baby. She couldn't believe that the strict and somewhat quiet man would soon become a father.

Just then, Drew's phone rang from where he had tossed it earlier. He picked it up, staring at the strange caller ID. It was a private number, one he didn't have stored on his phone. With the kind of life he lived, he was weary of picking up strange numbers that weren't saved on his phone.

"Hello", he growled.

Alpha Drew listened to the other person on the end of the phone. His face changed from fury to anger then finally to fear. Laura gripped his hands as she trembled upon seeing the look on his face.

"Talk to me please", Laura begged.

"It's my father, he just had a stroke.'' he said, finally.
