Chapter forty
"So any news on the army chief's order?" Drew asked.
It's been over a week since he and Laura reconciled and he enjoyed every bit of it. His mansion was certified clean and they had moved back a few days ago to Laura's delight.
"Nothing unusual, it's coming on smoothly. It should be here at the beginning of the next month" Jack said.
"Good. Laura and I would be hosting a new moon party at the mansion on the new moon day" Drew announced.
"Really? What's the occasion?" Killian chuckled.
"Well, we just want to appreciate our pack members for being together and holding on even when things get a little bit tough," Drew said.
"That's great. Security?" Jack said.
"You have that covered but I don't expect less than half a thousand" Drew said.
"On it," Jack said.
"Thank you. Killian, please handle logistics. Some of our pack members would be coming from far places the day before. It's going to be an overnight party so I need to have them here a day before".
"Okay, I'll work on it," Killian said.
"Thanks, man. If there's anything else, I'll let you guys know but for now, let's keep our eyes and ears open" Drew said.
Later on, Drew drove off towards his office. He had settled things at the club and now, it was time for him to face things at the office.
"Good morning sir" his secretary greeted.
"Morning, anything for me?" Drew asked.
"Yes sir, this letter arrived a few hours ago," he said.
Drew took the letter from him, heading towards his office. He felt the letter, trying to see if he could get a clue but try as he may, he couldn't.
When he got to his office, he shifted into his wolf form. In this form, his senses were heightened and he could smell something from miles away. Drew sniffed the letter but still, he couldn't find anything. It seemed as if all his senses were dead.
"What could be the problem?" his wolf asked.
"I don't know, I can't even smell a thing. Do you think it's a trap?" Drew said.
"Careful though, we have a lot of enemies," his wolf said.
Drew nodded, shifting back to his human form. He adjusted his clothes due to the shifting process before he sat down. He decided to brave it as he tore into the letter. Drew read through and he was filled with rage at the content.
Beneath the letter, there was a large paw print that was stamped there by Jed, Alpha of the rival pack. Jed's letter was a threat and a warning to Drew and his entire pack that they would retaliate against the assault at one of his buildings.
Drew smiled, snapping the letter shut. He was glad that he had angered Jed. This was what he had been wanting to do, he knew that Alpha Jed was horrified by what happened hence this letter. Drew sent off a simple reply, informing him that he would be ready any day he wanted to attack.
He sat back, smiling sadistically as he remembered some of the words from the letter. Drew wasn't scared. On the contrary, he was grateful for the fight.
"Hey darling," a voice said.
Drew whipped his head up as he stared at his mate. Laura sashayed in, swinging her hips as she walked. Drew growled, his wolf dancing happily at the arrival of their mate. Laura was just who he needed, especially since he read the offending letter.
"Mate" the man and wolf growled.
Laura closed the door, bolting it with the use of her powers. She got to Drew's desk, dumping her bag and a small basket on it.
"Come here," Drew growled.
Laura rolled her eyes as she moved toward him. She sat on his lap, straddling his waist. Drew growled when he sensed her arousal soaking through her heat.
"You need me" he hissed.
Laura was panting now as she made quick work of his buttons, pulling them effortlessly to reveal toned muscles. She stroked his jaw, going over to his chest. She sprayed kisses lightly on his chest, going all the way down until she got to his impressive bulge.
"That's what you do to me," Drew huffed.
She smiled, freeing his boxers. She got down on her knees, sucking him in. Drew's eyes rolled as he reveled in the pleasure his mate was giving him. He gripped her head, controlling her every movement to match his desire. She had an expert tongue, slowly bringing him to the edge.
"Laura, I'm going to" he hissed.
Laura stroked him faster as she sighed in bliss as Drew offloaded his contents into her mouth. She took it all in, smiling as she opened his eyes.
"Your turn" he growled.
Laura yelped as he dragged her to her feet. He led her to the table, placing her hands on the edge.
"Hold on tight love, I'm going to fuck you from behind" Drew growled, biting a lobe of her ear.
"Drew we should-’’ she howled.
Drew moved in one swift motion, taking her by surprise. Laura gripped the table as she ground and got aroused. She was glad that they were back together, she couldn't imagine what would have happened if they were still not talking.
"You're mine, you hear me" Drew growled, pinching her breasts in between his fingers.
"Yes yes," Laura howled.
"Say it" Drew growled, gripping her waist possessively.
"I'm your Drew, I'm yours" Laura cried.
They found their release together and Laura was glad once again that she belonged to this man. Drew pulled away from her, setting her on her feet. He adjusted her clothes as he led them towards the couch that sat at the corner of the office.
"Hey baby," Drew smiled.
Laura loved this, this care and affection he showered on her after every intimate moment. It just proved to her that he loved her.
"Hey" she smiled shyly.
"You must have missed me for you to come running here" Drew laughed.
"Are you complaining?" Laura teased.
"Not, I'm happy you came".
"I'll always love you mate" Laura smiled.
"Me too.’’
*********************************
The next day, Drew had to make a quick getaway to the neighboring city in the company of Jack. Killian was left to manage the club and everything else for the few hours Drew would be away.
"You'll be back home soon right?" Laura said.
Drew gripped her waist, loving the way she relaxed in the hold. He loved that they were now together and he vowed never to allow a rift between them again.
"Yes, I will honey," Drew said, giving her a heated kiss.
"Must you go?" Laura sighed, gripping him tightly.
"Yes, I must. It's important" Drew laughed.
"What if I stop you?" Laura smiled.
"Then by all means try but darling, I have to go.’’
Laura released him, taking a step back. She hated it when he had to leave, she usually felt lonely and now, she knew that it wouldn't be any different.
Laura watched him leave and wished that she could go with him but she remained put, offering prayers for his protection.
An hour later, Laura heard a slight knock on the door. She wasn't expecting anyone and she knew that Drew was too early to be back. She made her way towards the door, preparing her magic for attack if the person turned out to be a foe.
"Hello! What a pleasant surprise, " Laura said, ushering her stepbrother in.
She knew that the only reason why the security men allowed him in was that he hadn’t posted so many threats as his father.
"Hello, beauty" he smiled.
He gripped her waist but Laura quietly extracted herself from him. She didn't understand why he couldn't understand that she was finally with someone else. Drew was the future Alpha of the pack and she expected him to respect that but apparently, he didn't.
"I wasn't expecting you, is there a problem?" Laura asked.
"No, why must there be a problem before I can see the woman I love" he chuckled.
"You have the guts to come here and say thrash when you know quite well I belong to another man" Laura seethed.
She was tired of being nice and if he wanted a piece of her mind, it was time to give it to him now without fear of favor.
"Why will you speak like this? After all, I loved you first before your mate came along" he seethed.
"What! Do you seriously want to go against the moon goddess?" Laura said.
Laura couldn't even believe what he was saying. Nobody in their right senses would ever dream of crossing or interfering with the moon goddesses' works and now, he was about to do that.
"Even the moon goddess knows I loved you first. It's you who is at fault by jumping onto the next man you meet, claiming he's your mate".
Laura slapped him hard across the cheek. He didn't expect it, especially with the look of shock that filled his face. His hands shook as he clutched his cheek which had already turned a bright shade of red.
"Never in your life call me a whore now get out of my house before I set the wolves on you" Laura seethed.
Her magic was almost at the surface as she tried desperately to reign it down. She knew if she unleashed her magic on him, he would leave her house as a dead man.
Spittle flew from her mouth, landing on his shirt but she didn't care. At that moment, Laura was enraged. She never expected him to talk or behave this way but this just proved to her what a jerk he was.
"You'll regret this, I promise you. I'll be back and when I return, you'll wish you never did this" he shouted.
He transformed into his wolf form, escaping through the window just as the first security men came in.
"Everything alright ma'am?" one of the security men asked.
"Yes, thank you" Laura smiled.
There was no use reporting him to them. She would deal with him herself and lord knows that she wouldn't show him mercy. Challenging an Alpha's mate was a crime in itself and threatening them was another offense she knew he wouldn't be getting out of any time soon.
The men left but not before checking every corner of the house to ascertain if she was truly okay. She was left alone as soon as her thoughts were filled with what her stepbrother had just done.
"I'll make him pay for what he did" she vowed.
