No Escape From My Ruthless Alpha

Chapter 37: Enemy on the Grounds

Penelope POV

When the four gamma warriors who surrounded Kimberley and me, we both got panicky

I was so upset after seeing Freya that I didn't know what I would do. My stomach was twisted with a thousand knots. I was angry and frustrated with Drexel. At the same time, my thoughts went back to Alpha Steven. Why was it that I felt like protecting him? Even though he had placed a bid on me to buy me, what were his true intentions? I didn't see any signs of lust in his eyes, nor did he try to grope me or force himself on me. Who would take such a risk to

come and save me and that too in an enemy territory?

Too many conflicting thoughts swirled in my mind, creating a conundrum. I let out a rough exhale and needed to do something to protect him. All I could think of was to go to Kimberley. So I went to her

I was about to knock on her door, when she opened the door

"Penelope!" she squealed. "How are you?"

"Tam well," I said, as I nervously glanced around

Kimberley took the cue and she narrowed her eyes. Then she pulled me inside her room and closed the door. I rushed to sit on her little bed and closed my eyes

"What is going on?" she asked, sitting beside me

I opened my eyes and noticed that her room was so dirty. Everything was strewn across. It would be a wonder to find anything out here. I looked at her and said, "I need you help." I didn't know why but I thought that Kimberley was the only one I could trust right now

"Sure! What is it?" she asked in a cheery voice unaware of what danger I was about to put her in

"But first you have to promise me that you won't reveal it to anyone even if you decide not to help

me

A crease came in the middle of her eyebrows as she tilted her head and narrowed her eyes. "Did Alpha Drexel do something to you? We can go to the market and wash your worries there."

I laughed at her joke. I bit my bottom lip and then said, "I saw Alpha Steven!"

Her mouth dropped to the floor. "When?" she squeaked

"He came here to the pack. For me."

Kimberley's eyes flew wide open. "He came to the Crescent Moon pack. This is his enemy pack. He will be killed here. What the fuck are you doing, Penelope? You should report him to Alpha Drexel now! Where is he? I will report

him

She started to get up, when I grabbed her wrist and made her sit back. "Listen to me, first!"

She saw there angry, confused and nervous

"He came to take me away from here. But I guess that he was mauled by the wolves. He was in a bad condition when I found him and right now, I have hidden him in the cabin in the woods-one where I met you for the first time."

Her hands flew to her mouth

I had anticipated the surprise and that reaction

"I know. I know. But Kimberley, he seems to be so nice. He wants to protect me from Alpha Drexel, though I have no idea why. But my mind says that because he couldn't pay two million dollars to him, he took this huge risk on his life to seek me!"

Kimberley was now more shocked than angry

Through her clenched teeth she said, "Do you know the kind of risk you have put yourself in? Let's say that he has come here to protect you and take you away, you don't know his true intentions. You shouldn't have hidden him."

I looked away from her and bit my lip

Kimberley could be true, but why didn't I feel like that? I sucked in sharp air, feeling anxious

When I looked back at her, I said, "He is not feeling well. Can you help me? Please."

Kimberley gulped. "Are you mad?" she squeaked in a low tone. "I will be killed if they

see me with him!" Please..." I made my best puppy face

"Penelopeieee!" she growled. "I don't want to die young. I haven't even found my mate yet! I want to enjoy my kids and become a grandparent!"

I loved her drama. She was so adorable. I held

her hand and blinked with doe eyes. "Please..."

She shook her head. "You are going to get me into so much trouble!"

"Please Kimberley," I said beseeching her. "This is the last time I am asking for your help."

On the third 'please' she gave in. "If I am dead, you will be responsible for it and you will burn in hell!"

"Il know!" I giggled. After that I told her about Steven's condition

Kimberley grabbed a few ointments and bandages and said, "Let us go. I have to come

back before the warrior exercises start!"

The two of us rushed out when she stopped me

"You better stay here. If they are going to see you with me going to the cabin, they will become suspicious."

"Okay!" I said, panic bubbling in my chest. I decided to wait for her in the gardens

Kimberley took more than twenty minutes to come back and I was getting panicky. She looked flushed as if run over by a train

"What happened, Kimberley?" I asked her, feeling dreadful. Did Alpha Steven attack her?

She stared at me with wide eyes. I could feel that she was unable to control herself well. I had to hold her hands and take her aside to ask what exactly occurred

She breathed in a very low voice. "Alpha Steven is my mate!"

I was... stunned. If Kimberley was Steven's mate, then it just proved one thing-Steven wanted me for some other reason

Suddenly, we were surrounded by four gamma warriors. One of them said, "You have to come with us to the packhouse!"

"Why?" I was still in shock as my gaze darted to Kimberley

"Alpha Drexel's orders. We have an enemy on the grounds!"
