No Escape From My Ruthless Alpha
Chapter 39

Chapter 39: Manipulations

Penelope POV

There was too much information for me to deal with. Breeder? I was to be used to give babies to the Alpha of the pack while she would be the Luna. How ridiculous was that? She made me actually feel like a slut while Drexel never did that. During our past two sexual encounters, I only felt drawn to him at the basic level and hated the fact that she was even near him. If1 had been there instead of her, I would have fought tooth and claw to make her stay away from Drexel. I was so appalled by her that it shocked me

I knew that she was looking for my reaction

after making me feel so low. After making me feel like a whore. "Freya, I am surprised that you are even saying that. Drexel is such a fine man that if he chose me over you, I would not only love to give him babies, I would have been proud to be their mother." I tilted my head, "But I am surprised that you are letting that chance slip by so easily."

There was a flicker of anger in her eyes and they turned hazel for a moment. She groomed her expression immediately and chuckled. "Like I said, it 1s normal for the Alphas to have mistresses. It appeases their wolf. And as far as you are concerned, he has bought you for a lot of money. You better prove your worth."

I shook my head and laughed softly. "Lot of money. I remember you speaking at the dining

table just a few days back where you said that two million dollars is nothing for him and that I am just a human who shouldn't even be given any attention. So I am surprised that you are giving me so much attention."

She opened her mouth to say something but I put my hand up in the air and stopped her from speaking

"Don't bother to explain yourself, Freya. I don't care. But there is one thing that I would like to add here. If he didn't have a feeling for me, there would have been no way that he would have indulged with me. And if he really loved you, there wouldn't have been a modicum of chance that he would have come to me. I believe if you love someone, you don't cheat on them." Then I straightened myself and with a lilting

smile said, "Now the challenge is on you. Let's see if he returns back to you." I knew that what I was saying was based on shaky grounds because Drexel had compared her with me on numerous occasions, but the way Freya demeaned me, I wanted to smother her face. So I let out my last blow. "He sent four of his gammas to protect me, but he didn't send anyone for you. That speaks volumes."

As Freya glared at me, I just got up from there and walked to the kitchen. My whole body was trembling uncontrollably with what I just did. I should have stayed quiet but I simply couldn't

She was pushing me to the edge. So if I had to fall off the cliff, I might as well take her with me. I tipped my head up to the ceiling and took in a deep breath

My thoughts went to Steven and Kimberley

They were mates. It was such a bizarre turn of events. I contemplated what to do next. I had to protect my friend and Alpha Steven. So I decided not to tell anyone about it, especially to Drexel because he hated Steven from the core of his heart. And certainly not Freya. That would be such a disaster

I heard Freya's footsteps towards the kitchen and braced myself for another bout of humiliating words. If it hadn't been Drexel's orders I would have stormed out of his apartment and left this bitch

As predicted by me, she started. Very arrogantly, she gritted, "I am above you. I am above all the women of his pack and I am going to be his Luna. He doesn't desire anyone but

وو

I was getting tired of this conversation. I turned my face to look at her and asked, "Are you not concerned that he may become infatuated by me?"

"Ha-ha. Not in the least, Penelope. Because if he chooses you over me, he will have to give up all his dreams, his aspirations to rule the werewolves. He will have to give up everything that he has worked for all these years. He 1s way too intelligent to see through your manipulations. Remember who you are just a lowly pawn in this game who 1s needed at the moment. So don't think ahead of yourself. Why would an Alpha of his stature even think of taking you as his wife who has no background?"

I closed my eyes. When I looked back at her, I saw her smiling. "Why do I feel that you are the one who is manipulating him?"

Freya froze. Her eyes flickered a hazel again

But the next minute she was settled

Her expression made me wonder things. When I was doing the ledgers at Leo's office, I found that she had withdrawn a lot of money before leaving a few days back. She was using Drexel's card without limits. She never ever gave the account of her shopping. There were at least a dozen shell companies in her brother's name, because I never saw their audit reports, only financial maneuvers. Nothing added, but who was I to say anything. I had submitted the report to Leo

I continued, "And pawns are sacrificed way too early in the game of chess, Freya. From what I can see " I pointed my finger between her and me, "-the queen is feeling threatened by a lowly pawn?"

She clenched her jaws and rushed to me. She raised her hand to hit my face. I closed my eyes bracing myself for the impact, when all of a sudden, her hand was stopped. I jerked open my eyes and was shocked to see-
