"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
"Hey man.'' Killian smiled.They had gotten to Jack's room and were quite surprised to see him looking much better than they expected. This was all thanks to his wolf who aided the healing process. The doctor left quietly, giving them the much needed privacy."I'm glad you didn't die.'' Drew chuckled.They fist bumped, cracking jokes as they laughed. Laura stood at a corner watching them with her heart filled with joy."Hey Laura.'' Jack smiled.Laura walked towards him, a radiant smile on her face. She gave his hands a gentle squeeze, grateful that he was alive."Thank you for saving me. I won't thank these two fuck heads because they didn't know when I really needed help.'' Jack chuckled.Drew laughed, a deep belly laugh that had all of them laughing too. Laura was glad that they were all happy and at that moment, she knew she had found a family in them."I need to get out of here ASAP, hospital's makes me sick.'' Jack hissed."The doctor said you'll get discharged today but if you
"Oh dang! Drew, I just realized I haven't picked up my dress from the boutique.'' Laura said.It was two days to the coronation and tensions were high. Drew had already deployed more than a thousand security operatives for the occasion. Laura knew he didn't want to take any chances hence the deployment of those men."Okay baby, let's go now,'' he said."I'll meet you downstairs, I need to grab my purse real quick,'' Laura said.Drew kissed her before making his way downstairs to wait for her in the car. Laura made her way to the bathroom since she was pressed as a result of binge drinking a lot of drinks that morning.When she was done, she grabbed her purse from a nearby table, fixing her makeup before heading to the garage downstairs. Drew had told her countless times that she didn't need to wear makeup because she was beautiful just the way she was but Laura refused because if there was one thing she knew, it wasn't good for her. She needed to look at her position as the new Delta
"You're frightened man, stop it,'' Jack said."I'm trying to but I can't help it especially when I'll be heading the whole five kingdoms soon. I wonder how my dad did it.'' Drew said."The same way you're going to do it and even better.'' a voice said.The trio looked in the direction of the voice and discovered it was the moon goddess who appeared in a ball of light.They bowed immediately, paying reverence to her. Drew didn't expect her after a very long time of her absence but he was glad she was here to give him all the motivation he needed."Welcome moon goddess,'' Drew said."Please, get up. All of you.'' the moon goddess said.They rose to their feet as they waited patiently for what she had to say. Drew knew she wasn't just here for coming sake but was here to give them an important message."I'm very glad and proud of all of you for how far you've come. The challenges you all faced were a big task but above all, I'm thankful that you stuck together even when things grew a bit
