No Escape From My Ruthless Alpha
Chapter 65

Chapter 65: Comparison

I had curled into a fetal position trying to protect myself from the big black wolf who wanted to eat me up. I murmured his name, "Drexel..." How pathetic I was. I wanted to be eaten up by the wolf who I loved so badly. I was the worst kind of human. I fell in love with my captor. I should have hated him, but..

My entire body was aching when I woke up in the morning. It was as if a train had run over me. It was early in the morning when I got up. I pulled the sheets over me, thinking only about him. But I realized that someone had put the air conditioner on and covered me in sheets

The white gauzy curtains on the window were still as the glass pane was closed. I wanted to

open it and breathe, but I felt so mentally exhausted that I didn't want to move. Fresh tears poured from my eyes as if the well didn't want to dry. How could Drexel be so indifferent after last night? I gave myself to him, and yet he said he was going to Freya

I closed my eyes and waited for the agony to get over, but it wouldn't. Drexel had ruined me for everyone else in this world. I seriously doubted we were mates. How else would a love this strong be accounted for? My head started hurting after a while and I felt like all the bile that was in my stomach would come out. I retched a little and realized that when I retched, my head hurt even more

"Penelope!" Kimberley's voice came in my ears

She lifted my sheet and found me. "Oh gods!" she said and hugged me tightly. I think I looked like a real mess. But the moment she hugged

me, a sob was wrenched out of my body. I had cried so much but I was surprised that I still had more in me to cry. "I am so sorry, girl," she murmured in my ears. She stroked my head and we stayed like that for a long time "You look like shit!" she said, when she pulled away, making me chuckle

"T feel like shit too. Used. Abandoned."

Kimberley put a hand on my lips. "You are anything but abandoned, okay."

I lowered my face and looked in my lap. "I don't want to be a burden to you and Steven," I said

"If possible, can you send me to my mother's place?"

Kimberley became quiet. She wiped my tears and said, "We will think about it later, but right

now I want you to take a bath and then come for lunch!"

"Lunch?" I asked, bewildered that I had stayed in the bed for so long

Yes," Kimberley replied. "Alpha Steven has asked about you at least a dozen times. I wanted to come and take a look, but he wouldn't even let me come to disturb you."

My eyebrows knitted. Why was Steven being so nice with me? What was it that he wanted from me? At first, I thought he had malicious intentions, but now that Kimberley was his mate, what was it that he had in mind?

"Give me fifteen minutes," I said. "I will be there

for lunch with you."

Kimberley hugged me again. "Alpha Steven said

that there are clothes for you 1n the wardrobe

He hopes that the size fits you."

I couldn't help but smile. "Thanks for being so patient with me," I murmured

Kimberley pecked a kiss on my cheek. "I would expect the same from you!"

I took a hurried bath, feeling grateful, helpless, desperate and discarded

When I went to the main dining hall, I saw that Alpha Steven was sitting at the head of the table. He was talking to a man in hushed voices

Kimberley was sitting on his right, looking like a lamb who had eyes for the wolf. I couldn't help but smile at her

"Penelope!" Alpha Steven breathed and stood up

in his place. All the men out there also stiffened

Alpha Steven rounded the table and hurried to me. He came to stand in front of me, his face flushed. "How are you?" he asked me, flinching when he saw my puffy eyes and face. He gritted his teeth. "I am going to make Drexel pay for what he did to you! That bastard!"

I was so amazed at his words. Why was he so protective about me? I lowered my face, not knowing how to react. I didn't want him to do anything to Drexel, yet I was very angry with him

"Come, have lunch with us," said Steven as he waved to the table

I walked with him and he pulled the chair out for me to sit, as the servants watched him with wonder. I too was feeling very awkward

The table was loaded with a variety of food

There was roasted beef, sausages, fried vegetables sautéed in white sauce, grilled fish and sesame bread. Exotic juices were filled in Jugs which the servants came and poured for us

We had lunch in silence in which I had a thousand questions to ask, but I restrained myself, unsure whether I should ask them now or in private. At the same time, I found Steven making sure that Kimberley was eating properly

He would place some or other thing on her plate even though she said to him multiple times that she was not hungry. My lips lifted in a smile, but then I suddenly remembered how Drexel ended up punching the table when I was eating food with him. My heart dipped and my smile vanished. I shouldn't compare

After the lunch was over, Alpha Steven said in a breathy voice, "I know that you have many

questions in your mind. If you are feeling fine, can you come to my library. Even I have a lot of things to say to you."
