Chapter 70: Rage

Drexel POV

"Alpha Steven?" I barked in the phone

Leo flinched. He became quiet for a few moments

I pinched the bridge of my nose. In a very quiet voice that was full of rage, I said, "Are you sure?" Because if that was the case, I was going to kill that bastard and bring Penelope back

"We got his scent at the south border of the pack, Alpha," Leo replied. "From what we are

conjecturing, it is possible that Kimberley and Penelope escaped with Alpha Steven."

My claws elongated. My fangs became sharp as rage filled me like molten lava

"But that is not all," he said. "Alpha Steven has sent two million dollars to your account."

Blistering, smoky rage burned through me. I punched the wall in front of me and clawed the door with my sharp claws. My chest vibrated with a rumble and before I knew it I roared. The windows and the door of the packhouse started shaking. I had never been this angry and desperate and helpless in my life

That bastard took away my mate. What was he

going to do with her? Only that thought made me go madder than ever. And she escaped with him? Why? Even Kimberley went with her? I got up and rushed out, my wolf wanting an out

I was going to challenge Alpha Steven. Horror seized me upon thinking as to what Steven would do to my Penelope. My throat tightened as I fought back a nearly overwhelming urge to kill Alpha Steven once and for all

"Alpha?" Leo's voice came from the other side

But I wasn't bothered. My phone was somewhere on the floor

"Alpha ! "

The next I knew was that I had shifted into my wolf and was running speedily towards the

south border. Leo and Eric came after me in their wolf forms. Leo opened his mind link with me and said, 'Alpha, there is no point in going to the Gold Crest pack. Alpha Steven has transferred the money to you, and you will have no reason to challenge him."

My wolf was too furious to listen to them. How dare Steven take my mate away? I was going to shred his limbs and then some more

'Alpha Steven, if you will go like this, the entire pack 1s going to pounce on you. Now Penelope and Kimberley are under his protection,' Beta Leo reasoned

My lungs were burning with the way I was pushing myself to reach my mate. I needed her

next to me like I needed to breathe

'Drexel! Come back!' Leo shouted through our mind link. He came in front of me and I attacked him. Our wolves fought with each other until I overpowered him. My fangs were close to his throat, ready to rip him for stopping me to go to my mate

Leo's wolf looked at me, purring at submission

'Please Drexel," he tried to reason with me. 'We didn't see any signs of struggle. It was as if they both went voluntarily.'

That made me come to a halt. I was panting, my tongue lolling out as I growled. I removed my paw from his belly as my raging thoughts vanished. I backed away from him, my wolf

slouching

Leo got up and shook himself. 'There is a lot going on. I have to tell you something about Freya too. Can we please go back to the packhouse and strategize? Things are not what they look like!'

Eric, who was standing beside Leo came near me and very carefully nudged me. 'There are way too many things to be discussed...' he said

Leo's office looked empty without her. I went to sit on the chair she used to sit and work. "This better be useful, Leo," I growled. We hadn't changed. I tugged up jeans when I came back

and walked into Leo's office. Eric and Leo were waiting for me

It was early in the morning. The sun had just come up. I rubbed my chest, missing her already. I still couldn't believe that she left me

Did she not feel the mate bond? But then how would she? She was just a human

Leo threw a folder on the table and said, "After Penelope discovered that there was misappropriation of funds in your account in the name of four shell companies, I had asked experts to look into it." He let out a rough exhale and stabbed his fingers in his hair. "Tt seems Freya has been embezzling funds one after the other. It has been two years and she has embezzled about a million dollars already!"

I stared at him, my mind going blank. "Why would Freya do it?" I couldn't understand. We were supposed to marry, then why siphon off the funds. And where? It didn't make sense

Leo pursed her lips. He pulled a chair and then sat in front of me. "There is a lot going on here..."

An hour later, I came back to my apartment. It was so lonely and the anger that had bubbled in my chest wasn't helping me. With a bellow, I picked up the table in the foyer and smashed it on the glass wall towards the pool deck. The glass shattered as the broken table landed in the pool. Next, I threw every item in my apartment in a fit of frenzy

It was impossible to come to terms with the fact that she had left me. I didn't leave my apartment for the whole day and didn't let enter it. Megan had come to give me food, but I didn't allow her to come in

I was kneeling in my bedroom, looking towards the bed where I had pinned Penelope beneath me so many times. My hands went to my face, my eyes burning with an unknown emotion

Suddenly, the screen of my phone flashed. It was a message from Kimberley. I grabbed the phone with shaky hands and opened the message

-Sorry, Alpha Drexel. Apologies for escaping

Alpha Steven is my mate and I had to come with him. Please release me from your command, so that my loyalties go to my mate. PS: Penelope is

safe
