Chapter seventy four

An hour later, Killian and Jack walked into Drew's mansion carrying bags of ammunition. Drew was glad to see that they were ready to battle and was quite assured that they would win the fight.

"Laura's gone.'' Drew said.

"It's for the best, We can't have her getting hurt considering the condition she is.'' Killian said.

"Yes. So what's the latest news? To be honest, I expected Jed and his pack to have attacked since.'' Drew said.

"All has been quiet from my source but let's just be vigilant, I have a feeling he's planning a surprise attack.'' Jack said.

"Are the weapons here?'' Jack said.

"Yes, the ones we could carry are here while the much bigger ones are downstairs in the garage. We also parked two armor tanks too courtesy of your father's ammos.'' Killian said.

"That's brilliant. I wish nothing happens to them, I'll love to return as new as it is.'' Drew said.

"Then just pray that this battle favors us. If not, you can kiss the tanks good bye.'' Killian chuckled.

Drew didn't take any offence in what be said because he knew that anything could happen in a battle. Those tanks were nothing compared to the thousands of lives they had just saved and he was glad he took that effort.

"Do you have any idea what he might be planning?" Drew asked.

He made his way to the liquor cabinet to mix a drink for himself and his friends. In times like this, alcohol was the only thing that could calm his nerves down and right now, he needed as much as possible.

"No idea, I'm still talking with my source. As soon as there is something new, I'll let you know.'' Jack said.

Drew nodded, handing them glasses of whiskey he had poured for them. They drank silently as each stood with their own thoughts on the battle that was impending.

Just then, the unmistakable sound of gun fire wheezed through the air. Drew knew that Jed was here and there was no telling the amount of damage he could cause.

"Looks like we have company.'' Jack said.

Drew nodded, grabbing his gun. He cocked it, ensuring that there were enough bullets in it that could cause damage to the enemies.

"Should we shift or save it for later?" Killian asked.

"Let's save it for later. Right now, let's deal with them with the ammos we have.'' Drew said.

Quietly, they made their way downstairs towards the sound of the gun fire. When they got there, Drew was happy to see that his security men were all ready for battle.

"Take positions, two by four.'' Drew ordered.

Without another minute to spare, they took to the order as they each moved towards their designated point of attack.

"Oh damn!" Killian said.

"What's the matter?" Drew asked.

He clutched his gun tightly, feeling the perspiration that clouded his face. Anytime he was in action, a lot of sweat could be seen around his chest and forehead area and this wasn't an exception.

"Jed came with some of the army chief's boys.''Jack said.

Drew snatched the binoculars from him, looking straight ahead from it. True to his words, they were right. He could see some of the men taking strategic positions all around the area and for a minute, Drew feared that they wouldn't be able to defeat them.

"We have to go back and restrategize.'' Killian said.

"There's no time, we have to attack now.'' Drew said.

"That would be suicidal Drew, I say we go back and plan again.'' Jack said.

Quietly, they returned back in. When they were in, Drew dumped his gun on a nearby table as he downed a shot of whiskey at a go.

"Shit! I didn't envision this would happen.'' he said.

"Calm down while we think of a way forward.'' Killian said.

"There's no other thing we can do now but to call for backup from the guys in the next city. We have to pull all available resources if we're to win this war against Jed.'' Drew said.

"That's going to take too much time.'' Jack said.

"Do we have any other choice?" Killian asked.

"No. Jack, call the guys down at the wharf, I need them here ASAP.'' Drew ordered.

Jack nodded, picking up his phone just as more bullets rained down on the house. They took cover behind a huge wooden table Drew had purposely placed there before his friends came in. Jack barked orders at the reinforcement and soon, he confirmed that they were on their way.

"How soon before they get here?" Drew asked.

"Twenty minutes.''Jack said.

At that moment, Drew's double barreled door came down as some of the demon pack flooded into his living room. They destroyed everything they could find, all in a bid to locate where Drew and his friends were.

"Damn! They're in.'' Killian whispered.

"It's now or never. We have to attack before our reinforcements come in.'' Drew said.

He jumped out of his hiding place, shooting sporadically into the air. He was glad that his friends joined him and together, they laid off hundreds of Jed's men who attempted to destroy them.

"That's one group down.'' Jack said.

Drew nodded as they returned back to their hiding place. Drew reloaded his gun as he offered prayers to the moon goddess for a successful battle.

"Reinforcements would be here in ten minutes.'' Jack said.

"Drew, where are you? Come out and fight me.'' a voice barked.

Drew knew who that voice belonged to, it was Jed. Drew didn't know how he gained access so fast into his mansion but one thing was sure, he would ensure that Jed never got out of here alive.

"How many minutes more Jack, I need them here before I face the scum bag.'' Drew said.

Jack glanced at his watch, mentally calculating the time. He knew they would be here soon since

they were one of the swiftest group he had ever dealt with.

"Three minutes boss.'' Jack said.

Drew nodded, clutching his gun closer to his chest. He was so close to destroying Jed but he knew he had to do it with caution if he was to succeed.

"Alpha king, come out and fight me if you're really a man.'' Jed taunted.

Without thinking, Drew walked into the open, clutching his gun to his side. He chuckled to see Jed take a step back from the shock he got at seeing Drew. Drew knew that this would be the last stage of the battle and he was prepared till the very end but still, there was still something nagging him at the back of his mind that this was far from over. Alpha Jed wasn't one to back down easily and it even showed when he dealt with matters of his court. He was ruthless when he wanted to be and times without number, Drew had seen how he killed off his pack members for no just cause.

''Come out and fight me.'' Jed barked.

Drew could sense him getting closer, any minute now and he would be upon him. At first, he wanted to give him the element of surprise but that was ruined from the moment Alpha Jed had barged in. Now, Drew knew that he had to rely on his senses and work with his instincts because he had a feeling that Alpha Jed would be doing just that.
