No Escape From My Ruthless Alpha

Chapter 118: Multiple Surprises

Drexel POV

Ever since I had come back to my pack, there were a thousand jobs pending. Approvals, training and the five new packs that I had taken over. I needed to appoint new people to take over them and I needed trusted men and women

After Freya's betrayal, my trust issues had nose- dived

Everything was under a lot of scrutiny and I had made people below me work more just so that I knew that things were going right. I was too dependent on Freya and look where it came to be. Not only was I on the verge of rejecting my

mate who was Moon Goddess's finest creation, I was about to give 1n to her dirty shenanigans

Had it not been Penelope's report and her undying love for me, I wouldn't have ever come out of the darkness that I had plunged in

Even though I knew that three weeks with Penelope at the hospital were going to result in piles of work back at my pack, did I have a choice? I wanted Penelope. Badly. Beside me

With me. On me. Under me. If the Moon Goddess had given an option, I would have merged body and soul with her, but sadly there was no such option, so I had to be with her at all times whether she was unconscious or awake

The past three weeks had been harrowing. She losing her memories scared the shit out of me. I had gone to the rooftop of the hospital and

yelled at the Goddess for doing this to me. But I regained control over myself as I found this to be an opportunity for fresh beginnings

"Why are you wearing cut-off shorts?" I whisper-growled 1n her ear as I placed my hand beneath her hips. Gods, when I saw her in her cut-ofts, my chest rumbled with a growl. She had the most enticing hips one could ever possess. So round and plump. The lower swells of her hips were showing and my mind went to the gutter just seeing those. I didn't want others to see my possession or even touch her. And here Leo was trying to touch my unclaimed mate. If he wasn't my beta, I would have ripped his throat right now

She huffed. "Because I wanted to," she said

"You are very feisty!" I growled again. "You won't wear them again." I nibbled at her earlobe and a moan escaped her pouty lips

"[ will!" she replied in protest. "You can't stop me from choosing what I want to wear!"

What could a poor Alpha do? "Okay, but wear them in front of me!" At least she could do that

She pouted more and shook her head. Crossing

her arms, she growled back, "I will do whatever I like!"

God damn it. This girl. "Fine." I bit her earlobe and she squealed. I think I discovered her weak point

"Penelope?" Leo said as he watched us with a grin. "Would you like to come back to the office and start working?"

She went blank. "Office?" She started to struggle with her memories and I could see that she was in a lot of pain

"Leave it!" I interrupted. "You don't have to go

You need a lot of rest. In fact, I won't allow you to go!" Her little frown made me anxious as hell

I wrapped my arm around her waist. "All you have to do now is eat and rest." She seemed to relax in my embrace and rested her head against my chest

"Why don't I remember anything?" she asked, her lips downturned. "It's so-"

"Hush..." I tried to soothe her. "In time..." I placed a kiss on the crown of her head

Leo became quiet as I started to make her eat. I wanted to feed her with my hands because I wasn't sure if she was going to eat well or not

And I did right. Penelope was one fussy girl. All the servants watched me feeding my mate. I could see a flicker of surprise in their eyes because they had never seen me doing anything like this. As if I cared. All I cared was if any of them even thought of harming her or disrespecting her, that would be their last day of living!

As I was feeding her, I saw Dr. Blake entering the dining hall along with our Shaman. They were supposed to greet me, but instead they

both said, "Penelope!" in unison. I was taken aback. But I was so proud of her. I grabbed her possessively, showing her off

She recognized Blake but not Jarlen, the Shaman

They both joined us at the table

"How are you doing, Penelope?" asked Dr

Blake as Jarlen continued to stare at her with a smile on his lips

"Tam well," she replied as a pale blush rose on her cheeks. "How are you?"

Goddess, my mate was so adorable. She didn't

have to ask about their health being my future Luna, but here she was-so demure. I remembered how Freya used to be when she was around here. Extremely pompous. A wolf in sheep's clothing. And I was desperate to marry her? Ugh! I shook my head to shove those thoughts

"Tam well too!" he replied enthusiastically

Jarlen cut in. "Drexel, the full moon is in three

weeks. You must marry the red wolf by then."

My gaze darted to him. How did he know that she was a red wolf? My jaws clenched and a muscle feathered in my jaw as I gave him a stern glare

Before I could say anything to him, I felt tension radiating off Penelope. "Who is the red wolf?" she asked me, innocently, her eyes rounding at the corner. But I knew that she was already feeling jealous

My lips lifted into a smile. I whispered, "You will see her soon."

She stiffened. I could sense her increased heartbeat. My little lamb was so naive and so attractive when she was jealous. I wanted to see her get more jealous, but Jarlen again interrupted. "It's you, Penelope. Summon your wolf."

And Penelope's eyes widened with multiple surprises
