Chapter twenty seven

"Is there a problem?", a voice said.

They both turned their heads to see Laura standing at the door. Drew groaned, wishing she didn't have to come in right at that moment. Benita smiled, adjusting her blouse to show more cleavage.

Laura chuckled, shutting the door behind her. Drew knew that the smile on her face wasn't one of joy but one of terror right before she unleashes her magic on the offending person.

"What are you doing here?", Laura asked, quietly.

Drew slinked to a corner of the room, watching the scene unfold before him. If Laura's anger got to the surface, he didn't want to be a partaker of her anger. Her anger could be deadly, even worse than his at times.

Benita had the decency to look scared but the look passed as quickly as it came. Laura was now standing directly in front of her and one could tell that she easily towered over her.

"I came to see Brian. Is there a problem with that?", Benita mocked.

Drew just wished she could shut up, at least just for some minutes so Laura's anger could simmer down but no, the idiot continued running her mouth like the parrot she was.

"Do you know what today means for Drew and me?", Laura asked.

Drew knew what she was doing. She was slowly baiting Benita just before she strikes unexpectedly. It was a technique he had watched her use countless times and there was no telling what would happen when the storm hits the roof.

"Yes, it's your unveiling. Laura, what's with the questions?", Benita screamed.

Laura silenced her with a flick of her finger. Benita groaned, trying to unlock whatever spell Laura had cast on her.

"Now, you will leave my mate's room. You won't have the power of speech until the whole event is done. That would be your punishment, now get out", Laura snapped.

Benita gagged, trying to free her tongue but try as she may, she was kept in a stronghold by Laura's powers.

"Or do I add burnt hair to your list of punishments?" Laura smiled, sweetly.

Everyone in the entire pack knew that if there was one thing Benita never played with, it was her hair. She cherished it like the wolf within her. She gagged some more as she slowly made her way out of the room.

When she left, Laura faced Brian with fury in her eyes. He knew he was partly at fault for allowing Benita to use him the way she did. Right from the moment she came, he could have taken a stand against her coming in.

"I didn't invite her in", Brian said, hastily.

"I know, I'm not a fool. I'm angry with you because you gave her a chance to invade your private place, our place. Drew, why are you so weak when it comes to this girl?", Laura said, crossing her hands over her chest.

Drew moved towards her. He knew there was a sense in what she was saying but he couldn't quite give her an answer to her questions.

"I don't know, to be honest", he said.

"Well, you're officially mine today so you should know that I'll be protective the same way you are to me", Laura said.

Drew chuckled, giving her a slow sensuous kiss. He liked the way she was protective of him, it just showed that he didn't have anything to worry about when it comes to her devotion towards him.

"I should go. Normally, I shouldn't even be here by this time", she chuckled.

"I know but here you are and right in my arms. I just need to hold you", Drew sighed.

Laura stroked his hair. She knew that she had scared Benita away but for how long, she didn't know. The idiot could come back and threaten their peace again but Laura knew that she wouldn't stop fighting for their love.

"I need to go. I'll see you at the grand hall soon", she smiled.

"I'll see you too babe and I promise to reward you with something special after everything today.

Call it a gift from me to you for chasing that idiot away", Drew said, pecking her forehead.

Laura knew what that was and she couldn't wait to be done with everything. He kissed her slowly, pulling her bottom lips to his, a hint of what is to come later on.

A few minutes later, Drew was left all alone. He put on his suit which hung in the wardrobe filled with clothes he never wore.

Today was a special day for him, a day where he would make their union official and he couldn't wait to get it over with so he could show his mate how much he loved her.

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

"We are gathered here today not for a holy solemnization but for an unveiling of two mates who have found love. As you know this union is between Alpha Drew Ulysses and Laura Jed. The Moon goddess has blessed them to be mates and today, we officially join them to be one", the vicar said.

Drew felt queasy as he watched his mate, the woman he loved walk down the aisle dressed in a resplendent cream-colored gown. She walked alone, like the brave woman she was who was in no need of chaperones.

Soon, Laura came to stand beside him with a dazzling smile. For some time, Drew lost the sense of thinking as he stared at her, wondering if someone could be so beautiful.

"Drew, stop staring and listen", Laura whispered.

She laughed as she watched him try to control his emotion which was failing. Drew stood with a stiff smile on his face, willing his hands not to grab her at that moment.

"So, if there is no issue between these two. I officially pronounce them mates and may they be blessed by the moon goddess", the vicar finally said.

There were loud chants and howls from the wolves who were in attendance. Drew grabbed his mate, kissing her fiercely to the awes of people who were present.

"Let's get out of here", Drew said.

"Not quite", a voice said.

The duo turned in the direction of the voice and discovered that it was Alpha Nikolas who stood with the help of a maid.

"Dad", Drew smiled.

Serah left her mate, rushing over to where her father-in-law stood. Alpha Nikolas was frail but he still stood, bravely fighting his illness.

"Glad to see you're finally hooked, my boy", he chuckled.

"I couldn't help it especially when your mate is a jewel", Drew laughed.

"That's good. Now, let me leave you to enjoy. Just make sure you call often as I expect you both to leave for your honeymoon today", he chuckled.

"You took the words right out of my mouth dad", Drew said.

Laura stared at him, this was news to her. Drew smiled, and then she understood he would tell her everything soon.

A few minutes later, the maid wheeled him away just as his best friends walked in. Drew groaned, at this rate they wouldn't leave on time even as the jet was ready.

"Congratulations guys", Killian beamed.

"Thank you. I think this is the first time we're meeting?", Laura smiled.

"Yes, this is the first time. Drew could be so forgetful at times, it's up to us to remind him of important stuff", Jack said.

Drew gave him a light punch on the arm. Jack laughed, taking a step back, his arms raised in surrender.

"So how long would you guys be staying?", Killian asked.

"A week at the maximum", Brian said, already dragging his mate towards the door.

"Okay but remember that right after that, we have a meeting with the army General", Jack shouted.

Brian nodded, giving him a thumbs up. As they left the huge hall, flanked by bodyguards, they responded to greetings from well-wishers who were in awe of them.

Soon, they got outside, boarding the already waiting SUV which would take them to the airport where Drew's jet was waiting.

Once inside the privacy of the vehicle, Drew slammed his lips on Drew's, taking her by surprise. She expected this but not quite this soon. She knew her mate could be possessive and insatiable and this was one of the moments.

"Drew, slow down", Laura laughed.

"Why should I when I finally have you in my arms?", Drew growled.

He fumbled with her breasts which were still covered in the gown she wore. Laura breathed rapidly, her arousal already at the surface.

"Okay, at least until we get to the jet", she chuckled.

"Not a chance", Drew growled.

From his words, Laura could tell that his wolf had almost taken over and there was no telling what would happen if he finally took over.

Drew succeeded in freeing a nipple and she gasped when his warm lips covered a sensitive bud. Coupled with the air conditioning in the car, Laura's body was on the edge.

"Drew", she breathed.

"Not quite Laura, not quite", he grumbled.

Soon, the car came to a stop as the driver announced they had gotten to the airport. Drew growled, cradling Laura in his arms.

"Now what are you going to do? You've ruined my dress", she chuckled.

"That's not a problem," Drew grinned.

He pulled his jacket, covering her with it. Laura pulled it closer, breathing in his heady cologne that filled the material.

"Come on," Drew said.

He helped her out of the car, thanking his driver. That was one thing Laura loved about him, he always showed appreciation to the people who worked for him.

They soon got into the jet and once again, Laura was amazed by the beauty of it. She knew Drew was rich and this just proved what a billionaire he was.

"Now, where were we?" he chuckled, gripping her waist.

"Welcome on board Sir, ma'am," A voice said.

Drew growled. He didn't understand why people chose today of all days to disturb his peace, a day when he finally had his mate alone.

"Hi," Laura said brightly.

She gave Drew a pointed look, willing him to be nice. She understood his frustration but in situations like this, there was nothing he could do.

"How are you, Gabriel?"Drew grumbled.

Gabriel was the pack's pilot and personal one to Drew and his father. The other families within the pack hired other pilots to drive them but Gabriel was solely for Drew and his father.

"Very fine sir, thank you. The jet is ready and waiting for instructions to fly," he smiled.

Drew nodded, with a wave of his hand. He took Laura by the arms, leading her to the private rooms within the jet.

"Rude much", she laughed.

"I wasn't, I was just disturbed by the interruptions", Drew smiled.

"Now, what are you going to do to me?"Laura smiled.

"Oh darling, things you would remember for a very long time."
