Chapter 126: Next Full Moon
Penelope POV
I stared at the man in the elevator. He was the same who had come to see me in the hospital also and given such a horrible remark. He did that... again. Right now
"L hope her cunt is worth two million dollars."
I was mortified. What did he mean? It was as if I was bought by Drexel for two million dollars. It was such a demeaning statement. What was it with this man that he spoke like this every time he saw me? All at once, a memory flashed across my mind
An emcee calling number six. I saw myself walking in a red teddy lingerie on a stage for..
auction
The memory was so painful that sweat broke on my forehead. My head became dizzy and everything else blanked out. I forgot to breathe and the next I found myself in the arms of Drexel. I buried my face in his chest as he carried me back to the helicopter
'He is an old rival,' he explained. That made sense. Rivals cane be nasty. Maybe he was trying to bully him by targeting me? Though his explanation calmed me a little, something was still nagging at the back of my mind
I looked out of the window, my heart unsettled
as I saw the lights that slowly faded from my view. We flew over the forest that divided the two worlds. We landed an hour later and I realized that it was almost 3AM. Drexel helped me get out of the helicopter and after intertwining his fingers with mine he took me inside the packhouse
When we reached his apartment, he left my hand and took a deep breath as if happy and relieved that I was back in his safety net. He leaned against the door as I walked to my room
"Penelope?" he called me in a soft voice
I turned. "Yes?"
"Will you move in my room now that we are engaged?" he asked, his eyes on my face, his
breath lodged in his throat as he waited for my reply
I didn't know what to say, but the idea was good. Great. Wonderful. "I—”
Seeing my hesitation, he said, "It is fine. You don't-"
"T will," I said softly, quelling his fear
He pursed his lips, closed his eyes and a moment released a long breath. His shoulders relaxed. When he opened his eyes, he walked towards me. He scooped me in his arms and walked me to his room. He set me on the bed and crawled over me. Leaning down, he kissed my forehead and said, "You should sleep now,
Penelope. Because 1f you won't, I will end up taking you again. My wolf- he is going crazy about yours."
My lips curled up. I lifted my hands and crossed them above my head as I watched him languidly. "My wolf, Ria, loves your wolf. I think she keeps drooling for him." Ria purred in my mind and said, 'Stop embarrassing me in front of Wolfe.' I laughed at her. She was so adorable
My words made him grin. "You don't know how satisfied my wolf is. He is somersaulting inside

me
We both laughed at our little joke. Drexel placed a lingering kiss on my lips and then got
up. He tucked me inside a blanket. "Sleep love
You need it." Giving me one more kiss on the forehead, he went to the bathroom. I watched him leaving fondly and thanked the Moon Goddess for giving me such a doting mate
I closed my eyes and as soon as I closed it, another memory flashed. Me throwing a lingerie at someone in the bathroom in anger. I gasped and shot up in the bed. I whipped my head to the bathroom door and through the haze of my memories, I could make out that this was the bathroom. My breath became ragged as I stared at the door, wondering why would I be angry. If this was the bathroom in my memory, then I must have thrown the lingerie at Drexel
"Shit!" Pain blasted in my head and I grabbed my hair in my hands as I curled my knees and
hid my face in between them
I don't know when but I heard Drexel coming out of the bathroom and pulling me in his lap
He rocked me gently. "Penelope... please, don't hurt yourself..." he murmured. I buried my face in him and got lost in his feel to chuck the painful memories out of my head. He continued to rock me till I slumbered off
It had been a week of our engagement which Drexel had already announced to everyone
The Shaman, Jarlen had come and said that we should get married as soon as possible. Possibly by the next full moon
"Yes!" Drexel had been extremely excited

"That's a great idea. Steven is also getting married at that time! In fact, we both can get married together."
I had laughed at his eagerness and couldn't lie to myself that I wasn't eager to get married to him. So the date of our marriage was fixed. It was two weeks away
Steven was very happy for me. Just before leaving, he hugged me tightly and said, "I just found you sister, and Iam in no mood to leave you so soon. Would you come to the Gold Crest pack for a few days and stay with me?"
"Of course!" I said as I hugged him back
Kimberley too hugged me tight. "Look forward
to seeing you soon!"
I giggled. "I will be there!" I could always go and spend a week there. Drexel had informed me that I didn't have to do anything because he had already planned the wedding. All I had to do was to get dressed and walk the aisle of the temple of Moon Goddess
After Steven and Kimberley left, I got back into my daily exercise and training regime. Eric was not leaving a day to ensure that I trained harder than the day before. "You must summon your wolf, Penelope," he said. "She is strong and needs to come out to be stronger."
Keep yourself ready for Drexel and Penelope's
wedding: )
