No Escape From My Ruthless Alpha

Chapter 56: Happiness

Penelope POV

"Then do it. What are you waiting for?" I screamed, fiercely looking into his eyes. "Stop talking about this and throttle me!" I grabbed his wrist. "It would be better if you do it before Freya comes."

His chest went up and down as rage bubbled inside him. I could see his fangs elongating. He left me and stepped away. He dug his hands in his pocket and said, "You can't provoke me to kill you, so stop trying. I would have killed you the first day itself."

For a short moment I saw a crease in between his eyes. It was as if he realized that this was right. He could have killed me

I closed my eyes and exhaled roughly. "You make me sick, Drexel!" I got up and started to leave

He grasped me by my upper arm and yanked me to face him. "What do you mean?" he growled

His fingers were digging in my flesh, but that pain was nothing compared to Leo's words. He had said that Freya was coming back and that I needed to shift back to my attic

He even invited me to join him in his lakeside cabin. Leo informed that Freya had called him and she sounded panicky. There was something very urgent going between Freya and Drexel

Freya had said that she was planning on moving the marriage dates earlier

I watched Drexel as he went to talk to her inside the cabin. I felt as 1f a heavy boulder was tied around my heart and thrown into an abyss

Moments later, Drexel came out and said that he wanted me to come back with him to the pack house. Even I wanted to be with him because I had to talk it out with him. If 1 didn't, I would end up losing everything. And I knew this time it would be my heart. I may not be his mate, but I realized that I had fallen in love with this big bad Alpha wolf. I seriously needed answers

The ride back with him was... beautiful. When we reached his apartment, I couldn't get myself

to talk to him, scared of the truth. But now..

Now as I looked into his eyes, I couldn't stop my tears

I blurted, "You are the strongest Alpha of the werewolves in and around North America, Drexel. That means that you are definitely intelligent. But you are planning to choose Freya over me? Are you that stupid that you can't see what is in front of you?"

"In front of me?" he scoffed and left my arms

He gazed at me from top to bottom. "All I see in front of me is a human who wasn't able to complete her high school. A girl whose mother was a laundry woman. An ignorant girl who has nothing to boast about her achievements except that she was bought in an auction. You are too beneath me. I can't lower myself to come to your

level. And your own people, by the way, ditched you into selling."

Eyes wide, I stared at him. "I am not ignorant."

He scoffed again. "You have never seen the world around you. You don't know what it is to

deal with men and wolves."

"Because I have just turned eighteen! A few days before my high school exams, I was kidnapped. Do you think that I wouldn't have gone to college if I wasn't kidnapped? You ended up buying me. You cannot make a joke out of my situation when you contributed into creating it."

"College?" He let out another short laugh. "T highly doubt that. You would have ended up humping every boy out there and had babies in a year."

Rage blasted in my chest. "God, you are such a fuck-wit! Go to my house and see which all colleges accepted me. My acceptance letters are still lying in my drawer at home. I just had to give my finals."

He stared at me incredulously. He recovered from his emotion and in a very bland tone said, "I don't want to argue with you, Penelope. Come to the bedroom."

"Get Freya for yourself!" I snapped and started to leave

"Don't provoke my anger, Lippy. No one has dared to provoke me and lived." He grabbed my hand and yanked me to his chest. "I have killed way too many to keep a count! My very name strikes fear in people's hearts. You will not do anything to court that, would you?"

I struggled against him. "You are fit for Freya

Sick and pervert. You two fit like two puzzles."

Instead of freeing me, his grip only tightened around my arm and I winced in pain. With tears flowing out of my eyes, I couldn't help but say, "T feel so sorry for you, Alpha Drexel. You have had such a pitiful life."

He narrowed his eyes. "Do you even know the

kind of money and power I possess?" His eyes flickered golden as if his wolf wanted to rise. "A pathetic human like you pities me?"

I chuckled through my tears. "Yes. Because in my eighteen years I have been more happy and experienced more joy than you. My mother was just a laundry woman, but we had a good time together. From the way I have observed you, I highly doubt if the word 'happiness' even means anything to you. Every damn thing in your life is about your fucking endgame."

His grip on me loosened a little as he glared at me. But I didn't care. I was beyond caring about it. When I saw that he didn't contradict me, I knew that I was right

Swallowing down my saliva, I said, "So don't say that Iam ignorant. It is you who 1s ignorant

I have been so happy in my life until you..

snatched it away. So free me. You deserve Freya."

You =

I yanked my arms away from him and ran out as a loud sob rose in my throat

He let out a furious yell. "Stop!" But I opened the door of his apartment and rushed to my attic

I stayed there for God knows how long and he didn't come

Night descended upon the Moonstone pack. I heard cars zipping 1n and out. Freya had come

Suddenly, Kimberley's number flashed on my screen. When I picked up the call, she said, "Alpha Steven is coming to meet me!"
