No Escape From My Ruthless Alpha

Chapter 114: To Our Home

Drexel POV

There were so many tubes running out of her that I had to stop an urge to climb on the bed and slip beside her and hold her in my arms

"My lover?" she asked me

"Hm, hmm," I replied as I tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. A pale blush crept on cheeks. I brushed her cheeks with my thumb as a breath lodged in my throat. Gods, the anxiety that was running inside me, ebbed to a great extent

Slightly shaking her head, she said, "But I don't remember you..."

My heart squeezed. My wolf tried to connect with her wolf. 'Tell her about you,' he said. 'I am sure Ria would connect with me.'

'She doesn't remember us,' I said, trying to calm him, but he was so restless that he was creating havoc inside me

"Okay," I said to Penelope. "Then I will introduce myself to you. I am Drexel."

"Drexel..." she whispered my name and for the first time in so many days my lips curled up. "I am..." She started to struggle with her thoughts

I placed a finger on her lips and said, "I know who you are. You are Penelope and..." I trailed off

Her eyes rounded at the corner. "Penelope?" I nodded lightly. "And..." "And what?"

"And you are my lover," I replied. It wasn't me who said it. It was my wolf being sly. But I guess it was alright. What can a wolf do in such a situation? I had to groom her the right way so that she was conditioned into thinking that I was her everything

"Really?" she said rather than asking, her eyes becoming owlish

This was all the resistance I could sustain. She was so fucking beautiful and innocent. I leaned over her and when my lips were just a few inches away I whispered, "Yes."

She gazed into my eyes, feeling flustered, so I lowered myself further and pressed a kiss on her nose even though I wanted to nibble those pouty lips and slide my tongue inside her mouth and tongue fuck her. Later. When I pulled myself away, I was thinking that she would protest but she was smiling. So I smiled back

Steven came back along with Leo and Kimberley. Penelope was a little nervous in

their presence, but with me holding her hand at all times, she was more confident. I loved it when my mate recognized my touch and my presence even though she had forgotten me

Steven's eyes were moist when he came near her and grabbed her other hand. "You scared us all," he said in a hoarse voice. "Can you not do that again?" Saying that he lifted her hand and peppered kisses on it. She didn't flinch but she grasped my hand tightly. I covered her hand with my other one and cocooned it to calm her down. I was aware that Steven was riled up and that he needed assurance that she was doing fine

After two days Penelope was discharged. There Was an argument between Steven and me as to who would take her back. Eventually we left it

on Penelope as to who she wanted to go with

"Penelope, you should come to the Gold Crest pack," Steven growled. "I am your brother and you must stay with your family."

Penelope's last tube was being removed. She was looking fragile, but lovely. Her moss green eyes rounded at the corner, as a look of confusion flickered on her face

I seized the opportunity and said, "Penelope, you must come back with me to the Crescent Moon pack because you know me better."

Penelope bit her lip and nodded lightly. She looked sheepishly at Steven who was scowling at me. "What do you mean 'know you better'?

She is my sister. Damn it!"

In a very soft voice, Penelope said, "But Drexel is my... lover."

Bingo! Yes! My wolf somersaulted inside me

Or maybe cartwheeled. I couldn't help grinning

when I saw Steven's mouth falling to the floor

Penelope completed the sentence, nailing it. "So I think I should go with him..."

I pumped a fist in the air. In my mind

I raised my eyebrow at Steven and said, "And

the case rests."

Before I took Penelope back to my pack, Steven gave me a thousand instructions in which the most prominent was that he was going to visit every week to see her progress. He also warned me that if he ever found Penelope unhappy, he was going to take her back instantly

Luke's helicopter was waiting on the hospital's helipad. I helped Penelope into it and strapped her, feeling better. She was going back with me because she trusted me, and I was never going to break her trust again

We reached my pack only an hour later. It was then I decided to buy a chopper for myself. It would aid Penelope in going from one place to the other

I carried her all the way to my apartment in my

arms. She was a little taken aback when I scooped her up as soon as she stepped down from the helicopter. "I can walk," she protested 1n her soft voice

But I couldn't let her walk. She was so weak. "I know... But I will feel good like this."

She couldn't help a blush and pursed her lips to stop her smile. She wrapped her arms around my neck and settled against my chest

Everyone who we met on the way, lowered their heads in complete submission to me. I knew that no one had forgotten what happened three weeks back here when I had thrown Freya and her band of bastards into dungeons. I knew that they were looking at Penelope with crazy

interest but then I opened my mind link with all my pack members and told them that Penelope is my mate. I heard audible gasps but a feeling of respect and submission traveled in my mind

I was so proud of my mate that I was going to show her off to everyone as soon as she felt better

"Where are we going?" Penelope asked softly when we were in the elevator

"To our home."
