Chapter seventy

"Information just reaching me says that Alpha Jed and his son would be staying at the same house they were the last time. I've already stationed some security men around the house, we're just waiting for them to do something unusual.'' Jack said.

Drew paced about in the living room of his mansion. Laura didn't know anything that was going on and he wanted to keep it that way, informing her could be disastrous and that was something he desperately wanted to avoid.

"Okay, keep it under wraps. Make sure no one knows about this until we know the next line of action to take.'' Drew said.

"I will boss.'' Jack said before cutting the call.

"Keep what under wraps?" Laura yawned.

She walked towards Drew still in her nightgown and Drew had never seen one human who looked so beautiful.

"Hi baby.'' Drew smiled.

He drew her towards him, wrapping his hands around her waist. Her body was warm against his and he had a hard time keeping his hands off her. She was like a drug to him, one he constantly needed to survive.

"Hi, you woke up so early.'' Laura said.

"Yes, I got a call from Jack about some... Stuffs.'' Drew said.

"Stuffs like what?" Laura asked.

She walked towards the kitchen in need of a cup of coffee as it was a tradition for her to drink one every morning.

"Just stuffs... It's nothing really, I don't want to bother you with the details.'' Drew said.

Laura handed him a cup, smiling as he sniffed the pleasant scent that wafted through his nose. Laura knew he loved his coffee like this, pure black with a little bit of sugar.

"Are you sure, you can talk about it. I'm all ears?" Laura said.

"No, it's fine love. There's really nothing to talk about.''Drew said.

"If you say so".

"Has your step brother been troubling you lately?'' Drew asked.

He vowed to deal with him if he got one more report about his indiscretions towards his mate. He was tired of addressing the same issue almost every time but this time around, he vowed to put a stop to it.

"Oddly, no. I haven't seen him for a very long time now.'' Laura said.

"Okay, that's better. Do me a favor love, the next time he troubles you, don't hesitate to let me know.'' Drew said.

Laura walked towards him, sitting on his lap. She placed her cup of coffee on the kitchen counter before wrapping her hands around him. She smiled at the obvious worry that clouded his face.

"Drew, you know damn well I can take care of myself. I really don't need any protecting, I'm my own protector.'' Laura said.

"Hello Miss protector.'' Drew chuckled.

"Don't patronise me love, I'm stronger than you think.'' Laura chuckled.

"I'm not going to doubt you on that, seeing how you drove like a pro the other day.'' Drew said.

"That's just one of the things I know how to do best. Wait till you see the others.'' Laura smiled.

"I think I know what those other things are.'' Drew said.

Just then, his phone gave a sharp beep indicating he had a call. Swiping the screen open, he discovered it was a message from Killian who needed his attention at the club.

"Oh dang, babe I've got to go. The guys need my attention at the club.'' Drew said.

Laura nodded, climbing off him as she watched him shrug on his jacket that seemed to highlight his muscled arms.

"Okay. When you get back, there's something I'll like to talk to you about.'' Laura said.

There was a look of confusion in Drew's eyes as his didn't know what to expect. He looked at her closely, trying to see whether there was something amiss but she gave nothing away as her face remained neutral.

"Is everything okay love?" Drew asked.

"Yes, everything is fine. Just get back on time and I'll tell you what it is.'' Laura smiled.

Drew kissed her warmly before heading out of the mansion. As far as he was concerned, since she didn't show any signs of distress, what she had to say wasn't alarming.

He got to the club soon, shedding off his jacket as he walked into the room where his friends were working.

"What's up guys?" Drew said.

"Hey man. Another information, I just got it.'' Jack said.

"Let's here it.'' Drew said.

He walked towards the liquor cabinet as he poured a glass of whiskey in a cup. He sipped slowly as Jack gave him the run down of everything that he heard.

"So, what you're saying is that Laura's step brother and his pack are planning a massive attack on the city now that Alpha Jed is here.'' Drew said.

"Exactly, that's not all though. They're making explosives and it's not the regular one, my sources tell me that these explosives are created from Alpha Jed's poisons. In essence, once this fumes are spread throughout the city, it can cause irreparable harm to humans.'' Killian said.

"Shit! This is bad. What are our chances? What can we do to stop them?" Drew asked.

"As of now, the only thing we can do is to evacuate the people of this city.'' Jack said.

"Evacuation? Damn, that's not going to be possible.'' Drew said.

"I know, considering the fact that there are millions of people living here. If we're to do that, it would take days before we get everyone out.'' Killian said.

"That's where we need the help of the Governor. We can't do this alone Drew, we need his help.'' Jack said.

"Man, but you know we're sworn enemies. I don't think he'll be ready to help us.'' Drew said.

"For now, let's keep all differences aside. We have to do this Drew, it's the only way.'' Jack said.

Drew sat down, placing his drink on the table in front of him. He thought long and hard about what his friends proposed and he knew that that was the only way possible if they were to defeat the demon pack.

"Okay, let's go with it. Killian, set up a meeting with him tomorrow. The earlier we begin, the better for us.'' Drew said.

"Got it boss.''

"Jack, make an inventory of all our arms. I might have to use some of my father's earlier than expected.''

Jack nodded, leaving to do as he was instructed. Drew remained on his seat, taking slow sips of his drink as his mind prepared for the battle ahead.

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

"Meeting's all set up for tomorrow by ten a.m sharp.'' Killian said.

"Alright man, thank you.'' Drew said.

He was glad that the Governor had given him audience when he wasn't expecting him to. This just showed that the threat Wilfred had made was something that kept everyone on the edge.

"Still on the inventory. I should get the total number before the end of the day.'' he said.

"How is your mate. I hope she's okay?" Drew asked.

When they were at work, Drew noticed that Jack hardly ever talked about her. He didn't know how their relationship was but one thing he was sure about is that he loved her.

"She's fine, the baby is almost here any moment from now so we're putting the final touches for their arrival.'' Jack smiled.

"They?" Drew asked.

"Yes boss, Jack is expecting twins. He's going to be a father of two bouncing cubs.'' Killian hollered.

"Oh my, that's so amazing. Laura would be really happy.'' Drew smiled.

"I bet. How is she by tht way?" Jack asked.

"She's okay but she said something really cryptic just before I left the house.'' Drew said.

Ever since be got to tht club, his mind had been on what his mate was going to tell him. He had tried several time to think of all the possible things she could say but nothing was forthcoming.

"Calm down man, women say tons of things. I'm sure she'll tell you as she has promised.'' Killian chuckled.

"And there goes our relationship expert.'' Drew chuckled.

"You can't blame me. I study them a lot so I can make the right decision when it comes to mine.'' Killian said.

"Jack, I think it's time we rescue your sister.'' Drew said.

He didn't know where that came out from but he was glad he got it out. He had been wanting to say that ever since and now that the battle with Wilfred was imminent, there was no use postponing what was inevitable.

"Wait!. Someone hold on, Jack you've got a sister?" Killian asked.

The expression on his face was priceless and Drew struggled within himself to keep the laugh off his face. Killian's face could be funny especially when he was confused about something.

"Yes, I've got a sister.'' Jack said.

He took a cup from the rack as he poured a drink for himself. Jack hardly drank but when he did, it was as a result of something serious which was bothering him at heart.

"Damn! Why didn't you tell me?" Killian said.

"Trust me Killian, I had to snuff the information out of him.'' Drew said.

"What would you have done? There's nothing anyone can do to bring my sister back, I don't even know if she's dead or alive. All I know is that she's in the hands of that monster.'' Jack seethed.

Drew collected the cup from him, placing it on another table. Jack had a temper and he wouldn't be surprised if he smashed the cup on the wall.

"Guys, we shouldn't be trading blames on why he refused to tell us. All that we're concerned with now is to find a way to get her out of there.'' Drew said.

"We got separated when we were young. I was too small to fight him, I could only watch as she got dragged away by that savage beast.'' Jack growled.

Killian placed a hand on his shoulder, silently reassuring him that all would be well. They were a team and they were going to work together to achieve all they had set down.
