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 a
"What the hell was that?" Drew asked.He shut the door behind him quickly as he made his way back to the room. He placed his gun on a nearby table for when he would need it."I have no idea but let me run a check through the security cameras.'' Jack said."Meanwhile, I think we need to leave on time. Once they know that these two scumbags are missing, they'll come searching and if they find them here with us, the result might not be funny. So to avoid too much bloodshed, I suggest we leave tomorrow.'' Killian said."I agree. Tomorrow it is then.'' Drew said."Guys, you should come see this.'' Jack said."What the hell is this?" Drew asked.On Jack's screen was a hooded figure. Drew couldn't make out the face but he knew the shape belonged to a woman. The woman's face was obscured by a dark veil that shielded more than half of her face."This is a woman's figure.'' Killian said."It is but I don't understand. No female knows this safe house, not even Laura.'' Drew said.He paced about,
"Oh my gosh, I didn't know you'll be home so soon.'' Laura laughed.Drew could tell that she was surprised when he walked in. He met her in the kitchen, just bringing out freshly baked cookies from the oven."I wanted to surprise you. Well now, it's more of an emergency.'' Drew said.A light frown marred her face as she thought about his words. Laura didn't know what the emergency could be and she only hoped it wasn't something so serious."What's the problem?" she asked.Drew sighed, pulling her closer to him. He couldn't explain it but anytime he was with her, he felt safe. She had this aura around her that made him want to spill all the secrets he was hiding."Heck, I've got a lot to say,'' Drew said."Then it's a good thing I just baked cookies, come let's sit.'' Laura smiled.Drew gave her hands a gentle squeeze, silently thanking her for sticking with him even when she didn't have cause to."So, what happened?" she asked."First off, my pilot is a member of Jed's gang. He attack
"What's going on?" Laura asked."Drew and the owner of the company are always at loggerheads,'' Killian said."Why?" Laura asked."Because I fucked his wife once.'' Drew snapped."Easy man, you shouldn't have said that,'' Jack said."You did what!" Laura screamed."Now she's angry.'' Killian sighed."I fucked his wife once but it was a long time ago,'' Drew said."It doesn't matter when or how many times. Why did you do it, Drew?" Laura croaked.She was hurt, there was no doubt about that. Drew felt like the shittiest person to have ever lived now that he had successfully broken her heart once again."You've got to believe me, Laura, it meant nothing,'' Drew said."Laura, Drew was stupid then and he didn't know what he was doing,'' Jack said."It doesn't matter. He slept with someone's wife which is a sin in our world, I expected you to know better.'' Laura said."He also slept with Drew's girlfriend then so it wasn't Drew's fault. He started it before Drew retaliated.'' Killian said.
"I hope everyone is okay?" Laura asked."I'm good.'' Killian said."Me too.'' Jack said.Drew remained silent as he stared at his mate, a light smile on his lips. He couldn't believe how brave she was as she fought beside him, fearless and brave."Drew, are you alright?" Laura smiled."You know I'm fine as long as you are, and seeing you alive now proves to you that I'm alive. So yeah, I'm okay.'' he grinned.Laura rolled her eyes, going over to give him a kiss. She wrapped her hands around him as she vaguely saw Jack and Killian take their leave. This was all she wanted, this safety and love she felt just by having her hands around him."Thank you for standing by me.'' Drew said."I've told you not to thank me. It's my duty as your mate and the woman you love so, there's no need to thank me.'' Laura smiled.Drew pulled get towards a double seater couch, setting her on his laps. He stroked her hair, loving that way it was soft to his touch. Laura sighed, resting her head on his chest.
"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
"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
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
