Chapter 79: You Escaped

Penelope POV

I tried my best to clear my mind

He was here to negotiate with my brother for his diamond mine and not to meet me

He had come here to release Kimberley from her bond to the Crescent Moon pack and not to meet me

He was going to marry Freya in a few days and had come here to finalize his deal with Steven and not meet me

My head was going to explode with so many scenarios. I tipped my head up and let the hot water fall on me. It burned my skin, but I needed it so badly. 'Go to him.' A voice whispered and I peeled open my eyes to see who whispered those words. There was no one. I gritted my teeth. Why was I imagining things?

'You are not imagining.' The voice said again

"Whoa!" I rasped as I whipped my head around

"Who is there?" I was getting really panicky now

'Tt is me. Ria. Your wolf.'

"Wh--what?" Shock bubbled inside me and then morphed into a large wave that crashed

hard. "My wolf?" So, I had a wolf and she was speaking with me. Geez!

"Are you living inside me?" I asked, bewildered at the discovery. "Wi-will you ever come out?"

But the voice went silent

"Ria? Ria?" I called her. There was no answer

Gods above! I leaned against the tiles of the shower stall as I tried to process what just happened to me. My wolf spoke to me. Was this normal? After staying amongst humans for so long, I really didn't know how it all worked. Oh my! Look at how I was talking? Staying with humans? A ragged breath left my lips

I decided to meet Kimberley and ask her about

all this. She was my best friend and she knew how to soothe my nerves. I didn't know why I wanted to share this little discovery with Drexel

I came out and realized that I was so hungry that I could eat for the whole of Africa. So I rushed downstairs to the dining hall and noticed that there was not a single item on the table. I went to the kitchen and our butler offered me a sumptuous slice of roasted chicken and salted tuna with garlic bread

I went to Kimberley's room after than and saw that she wasn't there. A servant informed me that their future Luna has gone to the library once again after bath. Alpha Drexel had called her to break the bond

Since I was not invited, I crossed my arms across my chest in anger. Then I went to the gardens to take a walk, but on the inside, I wanted to meet Drexel. I think I was going crazy for not being able to meet him. It was taking all my willpower to not meet him

For the entire day, I didn't see Steven, Kimberley and Drexel. The meeting must have been too important and there would have been a lot of paperwork to keep them so busy. And I sulked

When the sun dipped in the horizon and the first star dazzled the velvety sky, I saw that the servants lit the whole manor. I was sitting on a bench beneath an oak tree, watching the lights coming on one by one. It was beautiful. I knew that Drexel had come to the Gold Crest pack

only for business. Any last hope that he wanted to meet me, dashed. Pursing my lips, I ambled back to my room and asked Nina to send my

food up. "Have they come out of the meeting?" I asked

"Not as yet," she said and left to get food for me

I was so angry with myself that I didn't even feel like eating. I crashed on the bed, feeling miserable. For the whole day, I kept a little hope kindled in my heart that he would come to me and that we would be able to close it, but he hadn't. I buried my face in the pillow as tears rolled out of my eyes

The door opened and I snapped, "I don't want to eat. Take the food back."

The door closed and yet I smelled the aroma of food mixed with that of... cedar. I threw the pillow to the side and jerked up straight

"Hello Penelope." he said with a half-smile

"How are you?"

"No one knows I am here," he replied coolly and placed the dinner tray on the bedside table. He sat right next to me and, narrowing his eyes, said, "You escaped."

"I should have done that long back," I found myself saying, my heart beating like that of wild

horse on steroids. "And why are you here?"

The next moment he grabbed my shirt, pulled me close to him and crashed his lips on mine

His hands found their way inside my tank top

He opened my bra and cupped my breasts. The next thing I knew was that my fingers were threaded in his hair and I was squirming beneath him, pressed by his weight onto the mattress. The way he kissed me, it was as if he was starved of kissing. He attacked my mouth

He bit my lips, sucked my tongue and pressed me so hard against his body, it was as if he wanted to merge with me. His thick erection pressed against my belly like a hot brand

When he pulled, I felt a metallic taste in my mouth. "I will have to punish you for escaping me," he said with a shaky breath, looking at my

lips

I think I had gone insane because I wanted him to punish me. Or do anything. "If my brother finds out that you are here, he will rip you!" The danger of being found out was enthralling me

Our gazes locked. His sharp green ones in my blue ones. He grabbed my hand and took it to his pants where he made me grab his erection
