"You have no right to call my line.'' Laura seethed.She had woken up so early to the loud sounds of her ringing tone blasting through her bedroom. In her haste to pick it up, thinking it was Drew, she had accidentally set a small part of the room on fire with her magic going haywire."How dare you speak to your stepfather in such a manner.'' he seethed."For your information step father, you stopped being that the minute you told me you didn't care about me so I see no reasons why you have to call me,'' Laura said.She worked a spell that cleared the room immediately of all smoke and debris even as she felt the choking sensation associated with fire accidents. This was all his fault, if he hadn't called, Laura wouldn't have set the room on fire, and in turn, she wouldn't be having this migraine that was slowly edging to the surface."I never said that you liar.'' Alpha Jed screamed.Laura knew his emotions stemmed from the fact that he was frustrated being that he was weak and all."
"The committee of elders is planning my coronation,'' Drew said.It was over a week since he had come back from his trip to Paris. He and his mate were at the breakfast table when he got the message through the mind link the elders sent around. Drew was a bit surprised that it was this soon but he knew the reason behind the urgency. Jed and his men were advancing and the earlier they crowned him as King of the entire five packs, the better for him.Drew couldn't afford for anything to go wrong in the state, especially since he had gotten word that the government hunters were planning a search of all things they perceived not to be human. Drew wasn't bothered about this because he knew he could easily make his way out of it. What he was bothered about was the coronation and what it could mean for the entire kingdom.He knew he was the rightful heir to the throne but there were still some people within his cabinet whom the Moon goddess had warned against that didn't want to see him on
As Drew walked into his building the next day, he felt a sharp sensation in his head. He didn't know what it was about but he knew it couldn't be good as nothing related to that was ever good. His staff greeted him but he simply waved his hands, not bothering to reply verbally.Drew had a lot of work to do that day and the earlier he gets on with it, the better for him and everyone else. He got into his office soon to meet Killian and Jack going through the documents they had brought from Paris."Anything yet?" Drew asked.He moved towards his seat, pulling his jacket. He was glad that his secretary had turned on the heater because at that moment, Drew was feeling chilly."Not yet. All I can say is the markings and writings here are not in English. They are from an archaic and extinct language and the only way we can decipher the meaning is to take it to someone who understands what it's saying.'' Killian said.Drew picked up the paper, staring at it as he tried to find a meaning to t
"Welcome friend of Nikolas", an elder said.Drew had arrived at the club belonging to the council of elders an hour earlier and was made to wait in the reception as they prepared to see him. He was looking refreshed and cleansed after the confrontation with Andrew."Thank you,'' Drew said.The men weren't old physically like most people expected them to be. Some were just like Drew. Drew wasn't fooled though, he knew that some of these men were as old as his father and the reason why they looked young was as a result of the spell most of them used to remain young.Drew wasn't concerned about this, all he wanted at that moment was to get out of there on time because they were giving him the creeps. The elders consisted of five men and the only woman who was amongst them was rumored to have been the goddess's sister whilst the latter was still here on Earth."We've called you here because it's tradition to do so. Your friend and head, the last Alpha. May the moon goddess rest his soul a
Drew drove to the club like a man who was on a mission. He was on a mission because he wanted to know what Laura's clan had been in all this while. He got to the club soon as he made his way to his office where he met his friends waiting."What's up?" Drew said.He took a seat, pulling out a bottle of cognac. He snatched a cup from the cup holder as he mixed a drink for himself."Tone down on the drink, you might want to stay sober for the news,'' Jack muttered."Just say it, I've handled bad news better when I'm dead drunk,'' Drew said.Killian chuckled, snatching the bottle of cognac from him. Drew protested and pleaded but they paid deaf ears to him."Alright, fine what have you got?", Drew asked."Laura's pack works with the government,'' Jack said.Drew expected this but it still surprised him to know that they were involved in the creation of poisons. He didn't know if he could tell his mate this news but he knew he had to because if he didn't and she found out elsewhere, it cou
When he got to his sprawling mansion, he sat inside his car for several minutes, thinking about how he could tell his mate the news he just heard.A few minutes later, he gathered the courage to climb out of his car. He made his way into his house, dropping his keys by the side table."Darling, I'm home,'' Drew said.He could feel her aura around the house but he didn't quite know where she was. He made his way to the kitchen but it was empty as there was no sign of her anywhere. He moved towards the library, where she was usually found since she loved reading a lot but she wasn't there either.Drew was beginning to get worried but he remained calm since he could still feel her aura radiating around the area. He made his way towards the bedrooms, pulling his shoes in the process. When he got there, he found her inside the bathroom submerged in the bathtub. He knew she couldn't have heard him due to the tap being on. He decided to surprise her, he shed his clothes as he made his way in
"Here, call your Alpha Jed. We need to know what's happening.'' Drew said, handing her the phone."I can't Drew, I don't think I can. I do not want to talk to him especially after hearing this,'' she said."Okay, should I speak to him then?'' Drew said, gently.Laura thought about this for a while and she decided it was best if she spoke to her stepfather herself. She wanted to hear his voice when he denied the allegation. Laura sighed, taking the phone from him. She dialed Alpha Jed's number, hoping that he would pick it up."Yes.'' Alpha Jed snapped."Hi... Alpha Jed.'' Laura croaked."Yes Laura, what do you want?'' he said."Yes... I need to ask you something real quick.'' Laura said."You've always been asking for something your whole life, what is it? Let's hear it.'' he huffed.''Do you know anything about my biological parents?'' she asked.For several minutes, the man she called Alpha Jed remained silent. That was all the answer Laura needed. Now, it was confirmed that she had
Just then, there was a heavy knock on the door. Drew stood rigid, training his ears on the sound of the door."It's okay, open it. It's Killian.'' Laura said.Drew nodded, moving cautiously towards the door, guns drawn. He opened it and was relieved to find Killian by the door."We're being attacked,'' he said.His guns were drawn too and Drew knew he was ready for action. They followed Killian out of the door, bearing their guns out."Darling, please I need you to stay back. I don't want you to get hurt.'' Drew said."No way in hell would I be left out of this. I want to help and you can't stop me.'' Laura said."Laura, please.'' Drew begged."No Drew, I'm coming with you and that's final.'' Laura said."Boss, since she's good with guns and she has powers, I think she should come. She has a point.'' Killian said.They rushed towards the waiting area to see Jack already in his wolf form fighting off two attackers. Laura launched her magic at one of them, sending them sailing through t
LauraI felt a tap on my body but i shoved it off, attributing it to the beautiful dream i was having. The tap persisted and i knew that this was no dream, it was real. I cracked my eyes open and discovered that it was Drew tapping me. The look on his face was one of anguish and confusion.''What's wrong baby?'' I asked, sittimg up.I gripped his hands because he was shaking badly even though i had no idea why. It was just so odd to see him shaking like this.''Bad dream.'' he said, finally.''Its okay, its all going to be okay. It was only a bad dream and it has passed away, its okay Drew... its okay.'' i smiled.That seemed to lessen the tension he had in his body. I smiled as i watched him nozzle my neck, i loved every bit of it and i found myself drawing closer towards him.''I want you. In fact, i need you now.'' he huffed''Then what are you waiting for? Take me, i'm all yours.'' I grinned''The room or here on the ground?'' he asked.I considered my option and because I wanted
DrewI could feel it, that buzzing energy within me was threatening to break to the surface. That urge to trap, dismantle and kill was running through my stems. I usually prided myself as a good sniper, one who shoots without missing its aim and this has helped me in more ways i could count.I was the king of my lair, lord over all the other people and they knew better than to come near my turf. When i was in a killing mode, they knew better than to come near me because i was really dangerous especially when it comes to that.Sometimes, i usually let my prey go but not until after sucking their precious life blood. In most cases, they wouldn't survive because i had taken an important element from them- the will to live. They usually became a shallow, skeletal image of themselves and some times, they ended it all by drowning in the pool of despair.They didn't call me the Rejected Alpha for nothing. I trapped your soul, your very essence and turned you into a shell of yourself. Now, i
"She's beautiful.'' Laura smiled."I know and I love her name even more, Ariana.'' Drew chuckled.It's been three weeks since the battle with Jed and three weeks since little Ariana was born. Ever since that day, Drew was thankful that he had successfully been able to contain Alpha Jed even though he couldn't defeat him. He had successfully switched off the timer at the last minute, saving his entire race which was at the brink of extinction."Are Jack and Killian recovering well?" Laura asked.Laura had gotten back from where she had to hide but right at that moment, Drew's next mission was to inform her that she had to go back to hiding because the battle was far from over. Jed would never stop until he destroyed everyone of them and he would deal with Laura last. That was something he couldn't afford happening.She placed their infant child on the crib, petting her as they watched her fall asleep. They made their way out of the nursery towards the living room where they could talk
"Nice of you to come out of your hiding Alpha Drew.'' Jed chuckled.Drew took a step forward just as he heard hundreds of armour tanks pull up at the garage of his Mansion. They were here, the reinforcements he desperately wanted were here and he knew that the battle with the demon leader would be a walk through the park."I wasn't hiding Jed, I was merely taking my time.'' Drew said.His wolf was itching to come out and tear the bastard into pieces but Drew wasn't ready yet, he wanted it to be the last thing. He wanted to give his wolf the pleasure of dealing with the rival leader himself."Then why did you have a change of mind. You could have stayed put so I'll find you myself then kill you.'' Jed chuckled."That's too boring, don't you think?" Drew smirked.Jack and Killian came out from their hiding, clutching their guns menacingly just as Antonio walked in. Drew gasped silently when he saw the state the poison master was in. His head was in a deformed shape and his face had diffe
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 a
"I have to go now, I need to tell Laura what has happened.'' Drew said.Killian nodded, wishing him all the luck he needed. Drew smiled, heading out of the private club. He desperately wished Laura took the news well and hoped that she wasn't angry with him for keeping it away from her.Drew pulled into his driveway, putting the car to a stop. He got out as he made her a way towards the mansion. There was so much he was thankful for, right from his mate to his business and even down to the protection he got from the moon goddess, indeed there was so much to be thankful for."Honey, I'm home.'' Drew called.He placed his car keys on a nearby table, shrugging off his jacket that seemed to become so hot as soon as he stepped into the house."Hey darling, welcome back.'' Laura said.She walked towards him dressed in a simple gown over a flat plaide slippers that wrapped around her feet. Drew once again couldn't believe how lucky he was to call her his mate."How have you been?" Drew asked
Back at the club, Drew instructed his friends to take care of the evacuation process as he had to get back to the office for something important.As he walked into his building, he stopped to think for a minute that he hadn't been here for some time. The private club was like his office and Drew couldn't explain it but he was more comfortable there than in any other place."Good day sir.'' the secretary said.Drew had missed the trusty old face he had come to respect. The young chap kept the company running smoothly without little to no problem and for that, Drew was grateful."How are you?" Drew asked."Very fine Sir, thank you. There are some files I left on your table that need your attention as soon as possible", he said."Alright, I'll look through it and send it back,'' Drew said.He walked towards his office, shutting the door behind him. He shrugged off his jacket, hanging it on the chair. He took his seat on his office chair, going through the files his secretary had left for
"We'll get her out of there man. Trust me.'' Killian said.Jack smiled, grabbing the cup as he downed the rest of the contents in one go. Drew laughed, swiping his phone to discard a text from one of the numerous girls who thought they loved him."Thank you guys, I mean we've stuck with ourselves all these years without fighting. Damn, it's not easy.'' Jack grinned.Later on, after everything had been concluded concerning the meeting with the Governor the following day, Drew drove back home. On his way home, he made a quick stop at the mart to get Laura her favorite chocolate cookies which he knew she would love.A few minutes later, he was home. He made his way towards the elevator, pushing the button that took him to the last floor of his private quarters where he knew Laura would be."I'm home,'' Drew announced."Hey, honey.'' Laura smiled.She was wearing a loose gown that accentuated her curves. Her hair was packed to the back, giving her face a clear look that was free from blem
"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
