No Escape From My Ruthless Alpha

Chapter 88: Triggered

Penelope POV

An evening before Drexel's marriage to Freya

Steven and Kimberley had just come from the market after four hours of shopping spree

Steven looked like a henpecked mate. He was carrying her shopping bags and yet he asked her, "Baby, are you feeling well? Keep your feet high on the sofa. Don't dangle them. You must be tired."

"Lam fiiineee!" Kimberley said as she kissed him on his lips. Steven stilled, his hands still holding the shopping bags. The moment she

kissed him, his anxiety lessened and he calmed

Over the last few days, Steven indulged Kimberley. And it was not enough. I was getting used to their PDAs and to be honest, I was also a little envious of Kimberley. However, I was very happy for both of them. I could see how Kimberley bloomed and the effect it had on my brother

"Penelope!" she called me as Steven dropped all the bags on the couch of the living room. "We are going to Alpha Drexel's wedding tomorrow

Come what I have bought as a gift!"

Her words were like a bullet to my heart. I felt this huge hole forming in my chest and I couldn't breathe. It was impossible to contain the misery that followed because I felt tears stinging my eyes. My lips parted to let out a shaky exhale. How could things come to this level? Why did his wedding affect me so much since I already knew that this would take place? I felt like running out, felt like something wanted to come out of me

"Penelope!" Kimberley rasped when she turned to look at me, her eyes going wide with horror

Drexel had said that he would come back to me in a week, and the week ended tomorrow. And here Kimberley was informing me that he was getting married tomorrow. My world exploded right in front of my eyes. Dread sunk in my stomach like a stone in a lake. How could I fall in love with a man who wanted to hurt me so much? This was beyond morbid

"Oh God!" she smacked her mouth with her hand as her eyes widened. "Penelope, you don't have to-"

I looked up at Kimberley and the severity of my expression must have stopped her short. I got up. Sucking in a sharp breath, battling the ever-present sadness, the surge of adrenaline making me delirious. I started to walk towards the door with no destination in mind. All I wanted was to get out of here

"Stop Penelope!" Kimberley hollered me

"Penelope!" Steven rushed after me. He was next to my side in less than a second, growling

"What is wrong with you?" He held my upper arm tightly

I was so furious with myself that I took it out on Steven. I snapped my elbow at him but he dodged me with ease. However, that gave me enough room to slip out of his grasp

"Penelope!" he shouted as I nearly ripped the door off the hinge and took off in the night ar

"Leave her!" Kimberley yelled at Steven and I was sure that Steven was shocked by whatever Was going on

As I dashed out, cold and wet droplets of rain splashed over my skin, soaking my clothes immediately. But I didn't let the heavy deluge deter me. My helplessness and misery pushed me, triggered me, as I bolted towards the woods that surrounded the manor. I slipped on the wet ground and fell, and it was then I realized that I

was barefoot. "Fuck!" I gritted my teeth as I ran ahead. Small stones and twigs pricked against my skin and I gnashed my teeth, welcoming all the pain because it reduced my anguish

As a child, I had always loved to explore the woods when we used to go for camping trips from school. I used to wonder what it was to get lost in them. Our teachers prohibited us from going wayward or entering deep into the woods because of the occasional wolves that were sighted. And now, I understood the meaning of it

As I ran into the woods, I realized that the only light that was coming was from the moon and even that was too feeble because of the clouds and the overhead canopies

I continued to pump my legs faster, too afraid that if I stopped, I would end up howling,

crying

His words echoed in my mind. 'T will come back in a week's time.' His actions splashed all over my memory how he spilled his semen all over my belly a few days back. Why me, Moon Goddess? What did I do to you? He was never going to come back now

Frightened, I pushed myself harder until I tripped over a root. My body hurled forward and crashed on the sloppy ground. I got up, pain slashing through me, but the pain inside my heart overwhelmed everything else. I sat on my knee and looked up. I screamed loudly, hoping for all the pain to purge out of my body when all at once, I felt as if something was pushing itself

out of my body

Pain exploded in my body. It was as if something was trying to force itself out by tearing my skin apart. Even though the pain in my body was so agonizing that my mind went numb, it was the pain in my head that was so excruciating that I let out a blood-curdling scream. It was as if my head was getting crushed by a stone crusher. I closed my eyes as I pressed my hands against my head and doubled up on the ground

When I opened my eyes, a snout had come out when my nose was. My teeth felt jagged in my mouth. Air whooshed out my lungs. I fell forward, still not able to understand what was happening to me

"Give yourself to her!" Someone shouted from somewhere

I didn't know what he was saying. Because I was trying to resist whatever was happening to me. Pain stabbed in my chest, my stomach, my arms and legs while I was dealing with the pain in my head
