No Escape From My Ruthless Alpha

Chapter 135: Signal

Drexel POV

Penelope had shifted into her wolf for the second time and that was again a powerful shift

When I went to my office, Leo, Eric and the rest of my top gamma warriors met me in an urgent meeting. They informed me that they were able to hear Penelope's distress call and were shaken to the core. They knew that she had been in danger and that was why they had gathered in a protective circle around her

My Shaman, Jarlen, explained to me that Penelope had called all the werewolves when she was attacked, but when I asked Penelope about it, she seemed unaware that she had

called anyone

Leo said, "I can feel a strange bond towards her, Drexel. It's like she subconsciously reacted to the threat that was in front of her to protect her mate and that threat pulsed out from her, sending a signal to all of us to go to her. The signal was so compelling that it was impossible for us to ignore it."

There wasn't much about the red wolves in the book I had read at Steven's place, but this could be one of the powers. "Isn't it possible that because she is the future Luna, you could listen to her thoughts?" I countered

"Have you marked her already?" Leo asked, his brows knitting

"No!" I said, rubbing my hand on my mouth

"She is not... well to receive my bite. I am scared that she will get a fever or something like that."

Jarlen shook his head. "She is a red wolf. Your bite would only strengthen her. You must mark her as soon as possible!"

I nodded. "Is there anything else you all have to say?"

One of my gamma warriors raised his hand

"Yes?"

I heard his snarling low. He said, "If Penelope is

harmed in any way by anyone, we will shred them to pieces. She 1s the sacred red wolf and we will protect her from anyone and everyone."

I stared at him, my eyes wide with disbelief. Did this gamma just threaten me against my own mate? Did he not fear for his life? When I continued to stare at him, his eyes flickered blue and I knew that he meant those words. There was complete silence in the room. I scanned all of them and they all seemed... intimidating. And I thought that my need to protect her was more than anyone else's because I was her mate, but this room, right here, was telling me a different story. It was as if they had on some basic level realized that she was their queen

I took a deep breath in and dismissed the meeting. When I went upstairs, I saw that she

was still sleeping. So, I sat down beside her with her hand in mine. I took all my time to look at her, study her features all over again and appreciate what Moon Goddess had given me as a mate. The Goddess had chosen me to take care of a rare red wolf, and I had foolishly, stupidly, idiotically, ignored her gift

My beautiful girl woke up and said, I love you

"I love you, too, Penelope," I breathed, looking into her moss green eyes that took my breath away. "I am going to spend the rest of my life next to you." My throat burned with so many

emotions that it was impossible to speak after that

She blushed and I lowered myself to her. I

pressed my forehead with hers and whispered, "Get well soon. I miss you."

That day Penelope didn't ask me questions, but I knew they were coming in, so I braced myself

When she slept in the night, I went to the swimming pool and swam for hours, thinking about all the questions she was going to ask. At the end of it, my mind was more muddled up than ever. Anxiety bubbled inside me. After changing into my night pajamas, I slipped beside her and curled my arm around her waist

I continued to stare at my mate, feeling better. I decided to take leave from the office till my marriage

"Won't you go to the office?" I found her eyes fixed on me, as she lay on her belly, her chin supported by her fists, her legs dangling up in

the air as she carelessly swung them playfully

"Were you staring at me when I was asleep?" I asked with a smirk

"No!" she denied, but her blush gave it away

"Get ready!"

I took my arms up and cradled my head in my palms, tugging the blanket down. Her gaze traveled to my chest and I saw her eyes widening slightly. My wolf pumped a fist in the air for my efforts to seduce our mate. So, I flexed my muscles a bit more. "I won't be going until we get married," I informed her. "To you."

Penelope giggled. "It seems like you are on an adventure."

"Marrying you would be my favorite kind of adventure."

She tapped her chin. "Ah! Then I will make one for you!"

My lips curled up as I got lost in her enthusiasm. My mate was so charming. "How are you feeling?" I asked, getting enticed by her blush, instead of enticing her more

"Better!" she chirped. "Would you like a swim?"

Our breakfast was delivered next to the pool

Penelope had gone to the deep end of the pool

Wearing a two-piece, skinny green bikini, she was looking like a siren. My focus was entirely

on her. When she swam back to me, I grabbed her. She squealed as I made her sit on my lap on the stairs in water. "You have to eat," I growled

I forced steak in her mouth, while grasping her tiny waist with my arm. Water sluiced down her body and it took everything in my willpower not to move her tiny thongs aside and drive my shaft inside her hot sheath

She giggled and chewed upon it. Then she said, "Are you ready for the questions?" She pressed her back against my cock. Deliberately

I let out a rough exhale. "Yes." It's going to be one hard session
