Chapter sixty five

Back home in New York City, Laura was having a hard time as she tried to stop thinking about Drew. She knew it was a foolish thing to do as he was her mate, he was bound to her just as she was to him.

"Damn you Drew for making me feel this way.'' she muttered.

Just then, there was a loud crack at the far corner of the house. Laura stilled as she trained her ears towards the direction of the sound as she tried to listen for clues that would help her determine who it was.

Laura couldn't get anything as the sound died as quickly as it came. She sighed, blaming it on the stress she had been facing for the past couple of days.

"You really need to be more sensitive.'' a voice said.

Laura whipped her head towards the direction of the voice and she was surprised to see Benita standing there with a smug smile on her face.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Laura thundered.

Her magic was slowly rising to the surface and anytime soon, it would be out in the open. She was expecting Benita here and was surprised that she bypassed the herd of security men who were scattered in all corners of the mansion.

"Surprised to see me. Well, it's really easy to come in especially when the men love you and your body.'' she smirked.

"You really have no shame Benita and yet, you still stand before me trying to lure my mate to you. Have you gone out of your mind.'' Laura hissed.

She couldn't believe that there were people who were as useless as she was. Benita had no atom of shame in her and the only reason she was even allowed to associate with Drew was due to her being a pack member.

"I've come to claim what's rightfully mine.'' she cackled.

"And what's yours?" Laura asked.

Already, her magic was on the surface just waiting for the right moment to strike the offender. Laura knew that this time around, Benita would never escape her wrath.

"Drew of course, he was mine before you placed your greedy hands on him.'' she said.

Laura had had enough of it as she launched her magic towards her. Benita yelped, moving aside just as she shifted into her wolf form. She lunged at Laura who dodged just in time before she launched her magic at her once again but this time, smacking her on the face.

Benita howled in pain, running around in circles as she tried to free herself from the pain that clouded her eyes. Laura felt no pity for her as she stared at her, wishing she had done far worse. Benita shifted back to her human form, launching herself at Laura. She successfully clamped her teeth on Laura's skin, drawing blood in the process.

Laura gripped her hand, throwing her off. She landed in a heap at the far corner of living room, knocked out from the blow.

"Delta, are you okay?" a voice said.

Laura whipped her head towards the direction of the voice and discovered that a lot of security men had walked into the living room with guns drawn.

"Where were you before she came into the mansion?" Laura seethed.

She was angry, angry over their incompetence and their ability not to discern lies from the truth. Benita was lying as she wanted to gain access into the mansion but the security men were too dumb to see it.

"We're sorry ma'am, we'll get her out of here immediately.'' he said.

"When the damage is already done? What more can you do?" Laura screamed.

The men remained silent as they knew they were at fault. They didn't want to incure her wrath lest they would all be dead within seconds.

"Get her out of here.'' Laura said.

Quickly, the men carried Benita out of the living room. Laura shut the door behind her as she made her way towards the bathroom to clean the cuts she had sustained from the attack.

"Stupid Benita and her stupid obsession with my mate.'' she muttered.

She hissed when the pain grew almost unbearable as a result of Benita canine piercing into her skin.

Just then, her phone gave a loud beep indicating she had a call. Laura swiped the screen to discover it was Drew calling her.

"Hey.'' he said.

Laura could tell that he was still acting cautious towards her as a result of what he did the last time. She had forgiven him a long time but she was still too stubborn to talk to him when he was making the effort to bridge the gap that had been created between them.

"Hi.'' Laura said.

Suddenly, she felt tired. She was tired of all the arguments and fights she had to constantly engage in. Laura knew that more was yet to come and the only thing that could save her was by being brave.

"How are you? Are you alright? You sound tired.'' Drew said.

With him, Laura knew she could never lie. He had this spirit of discerning the truth from the lies and she knew that there was no point lying to him.

"I'm not. I just got attacked by Benita.'' she said.

"What the hell?" Drew thundered.

"Calm down. I dealt with her too, she'll remember this as long as she lives.'' she said.

"Where are the security men? How could this happen under their watch.'' Drew seethed.

Laura knew he was getting worked up now and the only thing to do is to calm him down. Drew had a temper especially if things don't go the way he expected or something unexpected happened.

"Apparently, the whore seduced her way in under the pretext she was my friend.'' Laura spat.

"I'm so sorry baby, I hope you're okay.'' Drew said.

"It's okay, I'm fine. I...miss you.'' Laura said.

"I miss you too. I promise I'll be home earlier.''

"No, it's okay. Take all the time you need, I'm fine.'' she smiled.

"Are you sure, I can run back down there this instant.'' he said.

Laura chuckled and she had no doubt he could do it. Drew never bragged, he was always sure of anything he wanted to do.

"I'm fine, I promise. Just come back home safely, that's all I'm concerned about.'' she said.

"Okay, Jack and Killian say hi.''

"Say hi to them too. Be safe baby.'' Laura smiled.

"I will. You be safe too.''

"Love you, talk to you soon.'' Drew smiled.

"Love you too.'' Laura smiled before cutting the call.

She was glad that they had put all their differences aside. Now, she was happy.

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

"What's got you all smiling and happy?'' Jack said.

"Laura and i finally made up.'' Drew grinned.

"At last, the love birds are back.'' Killian chuckled.

"But she got attacked by Benita.'' Drew said, folding his hands.

"What the hell? Where were the security men?" Jack thundered.

"My question exactly but it turns out that Benita seduced her way in.”

At that moment, Drew hated her and what she stood for. He couldn't imagine how cheap she was. He knew she was loose but this just proved to him that there was no taming her, he couldn't believe he had nearly fallen for her back then in school thinking she was his mate.

"But I hope Laura isn't injured?" Jack asked.

"No. As a matter of fact, my mate dealt with her which I am very proud of.'' Drew grinned.

"That's why it's good to have a better half who can fight.'' Killian smiled.

Just then there was a light knock on the door of the safe house they were staying in. They weren't expecting anyone and they were quite surprised at this. The safe house wasn't known to anyone except them.

"Who could that be?" Killian asked.

"No idea.'' Drew said.

He grabbed his gun from a nearby table, cocking it in the process. He wasn't about to risk the safety of the people in his care, not on his watch.

"That's probably the great master coming to rescue us and teach you a lesson.'' the pilot chuckled.

Drew had momentarily forgotten about them as the only thing on his mind was the identity of the person behind the door.

"I'll move to the front, you guys take the back.'' Drew said.

"Careful.'' Jack said

He was holding a machine gun that was quite heavy but being the hulk he was, he carried it with ease. He and Killian stood at the back of Drew, they wouldn't hesitate to shoot if the person on the other end proved to be an enemy.

"On my count... 1, 2, 3.'' Drew shouted.

Without another minute to spare, Drew flung the door open to revel an empty space. He looked around, trying to see if he could see the person who knocked earlier but all he could see was more space.
