Chapter 154
Chapter 154: Needs to be Solved
Drexel POV
I walked away from Penelope, leaving her with Steven and Kimberley. I picked up the phone. It was from Boris. I had sent him to bribe the police to erase the report that Willow had written
"Although they have erased the report that Willow has filed, now it is Madam Lestrange who has filed it," Boris said, his voice tense
"That fucker!" I snarled. "How bad is it?" I asked. I felt like strangling that bitch
Boris let out a sigh. "They are not agreeing to scratch 1t. Madam Lestrange has some solid backup and it seems that she also has political connections. There is pressure on the police and they won't accept any bribe. And there's one more thing," he said with trepidation
"What?" I barked in the phone
"She says that she suspects you and Alpha Steven in kidnapping her, which threatens to expose our species to the human world."
"Fuck!" I pinched the bridge of my nose. Madam Lestrange was taking revenge for what happened to her son. But little did she know that she was messing with me. I was more notorious than she had ever seen anyone in her
life. She was coming after my mate? I was going to destroy her entire business. Political backup
This was interesting. "Dig information on all the political people who are backing her up. I am sending Leo from here to help you out."
"You will have to send more people," Boris replied. "This is going to get murky."
I gritted my teeth as I looked at Penelope. There was an option. I could never let Penelope leave my pack, but that would mean that I actually kidnapped her. There was another option in which I could take Penelope with me and show her to the police that we were married, but then we didn't possess the marriage certificate according to the human laws. "Okay, I am sending a few more. Keep updating me about int.)
"I will," Boris said before disconnecting the phone
After taking a deep breath in, I walked back to my family. They had already gone inside our new house and were now looking at all the floor designs and were talking with the architect. It all looked so surreal that I felt protective instinctively about them. I was going to take care of Madam Lestrange in my own way
Steven's gaze fell on me and he narrowed his eyes. I pursed my lips and shook my head
An hour later when our wives were in the apartment and talking amongst themselves about their pregnancies, Steven accompanied me to the pool deck over wine. "Tell me everything," he said, his muscles tensed
After I told him everything, he said, "Why don't we wait for three more months before going back to the human world? Penelope is going to deliver by then and I don't want her to have tension about this stupid report."
Sucking in sharp air, I sauntered to the rail and leaned over it with my arms crossed on it. I sipped my wine and looked at the clear skies ahead. "After she delivers, it would be all the more difficult for her to handle it all. This needs to get solved soon."
Steven agreed to me, but I could sense his fear
"I don't want to lose my sister again, Drexel," he said, worry laced in his voice

I turned sharply towards him. "We are not losing Penelope. Ever." His words cut like daggers in my heart and soul. Losing Penelope was like losing myself. A shudder passed through me
Steven snapped his head up. He got up and came to me and then something very awkward happened. Steven wrapped his arms around me in a bear hug. "I know what Penelope is for you Let's do it together." He pulled away and clasped my forearms. His gesture filled me with assurance. No one in my life acted like it. Like my big brother. But with Steven I felt... safe and assured
"Thanks..." I murmured
"I will be sending my people along with yours," he added. "But there's one thing they found the last time they had gone to check on Willow." Steven was sending his people time and again to check on Willow. He just never trusted that woman. He went back to his chaise lounge and sat down on it as I watched him keenly. "There is aman named Arthur McLeod who comes to visit her once or twice a month. You must follow him."
"Arthur McLeod?" I asked. The name didn't ring a bell in my mind. "I will," I said absent-mindedly
After a few more talks about his diamond mine, we both went inside and saw our mates still chatting about their pregnancies. I went to lie beside my mate and she rested herself against
me. I curled my arm around her waist and felt calm. Steven went to fetch more food for Kimberley and his pups. That man was after Kimberley's life to eat food to give healthy pups
And when he returned, he came back with a plate full of chicken burgers and chips and salad. Enough for both the girls
The entire month passed so fast that I didn't have time to look up from my office work. Blake would check up on Penelope every now and then. "She is doing fine," he said at the end of seventh month. "How about a baby shower
now?"
I groaned. "I have to go to the human world, Blake. I have to deal with something urgent!" The police had summoned me. And since I had businesses with the humans, how much could I
avoid it?
Blake shook his head. "There will always be something urgent you have to deal with, Alpha Drexel," he complained. "Penelope and other women in the pack will like it. In fact, they are all looking forward to it." "Okay..." I replied, rubbing my face
The door of the office opened and Penelope came in. She smiled at Blake and then sensing my tension, she closed the gap between us and came to stand behind me. "What is it, Drexel?" she asked as she rubbed my shoulders and neck
I closed my eyes and groaned under her ministrations. "It is nothing, love," I said. I didn'
t want to bother her with it. "We were discussing your baby shower."
"Oh!" she exclaimed. "I came here to discuss that!"
I chuckled as I took her hand in mine and placed a kiss on her knuckles. "How about tomorrow?" I said to her, looking at Blake
Blake laughed lightly. "Sure. I will tell others to prepare for it."
