"They are here,'' Killian said.The sound of gunfire grew louder as it slowly advanced towards the building. By now, there was panic as the guests didn't know what was going on. A lot of them had already shifted into their wolf forms as they knew that a battle was imminent."Get Laura out of here,'' Drew said.He removed the veil that was attached to his suit, handing it over to a panicked servant who stood there in fright."What! Are you crazy, I'm staying.'' Laura hissed.Drew pulled out his gun that was tucked into his trouser pants as he reloaded a rifle that Killian handed him."For once in your life, just do what I say.'' Drew seethed."And leave you here? No chance honey.'' Laura said.Drew looked at Jack and the latter knew just what to do. He pulled out a pen from his side pocket, shooting a little dart towards Laura who was too late to block the attack. She fell with her eyes rolled back. That was the only way Drew knew she could leave without getting hurt. The drug-laced wi

"Baby, I'll be traveling today.''Drew said.It's been three days since the coronation and three days since the attack and yet they were still not in talking terms. Drew didn't know what to do anymore and he wished he did because staying without talking to her was slowly killing him.What he did to Laura was all shades of wrong and he knew that if reverse were the case, he would surely be angry, livid even. He hated not being in control of himself which left him frustrated."Where are you off to?"she asked."Paris, on some business. It'll be just for two days.'' Drew said."Okay, have a safe flight". Laura said."Are you still angry with me?" Drew sighed."To be honest, I'm not. I'm just indifferent about the whole thing, I really do not hate you anymore Drew.'' Laura said."Thank you, at least that's a start.'' Drew smiled.He made to kiss her but she gave him her cheeks, preferring to be kissed there than her lips. Laura knew what would happen if she allowed him to kiss her lips, her

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

"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

"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.
