No Escape From My Ruthless Alpha
Chapter 77

Chapter 77: Meeting

"Nothing is going to happen to you!" Kimberley cried. "If Alpha Drexel will do anything to you, I will protect you!"

Steven couldn't help but feel for his mate. They had hardly come together. I felt terrible for both of them. Well, if Drexel did anything, I was going to make sure that I-

'Kiss him.' Someone inside me whispered again

Shit. Shit. Shit. I was definitely going insane

Steven walked to the library with Kimberley and me. I could see the tension thick in the air

There were warriors everywhere. I just couldn't

believe that after such a dangerous fight in which both of them were injured, Drexel was coming inside Steven's pack and that too so suddenly. What did he want to say or convey?

We sat in the library with Steven sitting right next to Kimberley on a couch. I sat on a couch opposite to them. "If Drexel and I end up fighting, you will take over the pack, okay?" I stared at him blankly. "P-pack?"

"Yes!" he growled. "You have alpha blood in you. My people will automatically bow to you!"

"Steven, you are "

"Listen to me carefully!" Then he turned to Kimberley. "If we start fighting, you will reject me, okay?"

"What? Never! I will fight with you," Kimberley whined

He cupped her face with his hands and said, "I don't want you to die, Kimberley. You are so

precious to me."

She shook her head. "T will be there where you are. Period." Fresh tears poured out of her eyes and my heart squeezed again

Steven crushed his lips on hers and she leaned into him. They were in so much love that it

moved me to the core. When he pulled away, he rested his forehead on hers. A while later he turned to me. "I know that you haven't trained so much, Penelope, but this pack would need a leader. If you won't take it up, my step brother is still lurking somewhere out there, will attack you and kill you in a minute. You have to be solid."

"Steven!" I almost yelled at him. "It can't be like this. You are overthinking!" I knew that I could be wrong, especially knowing Drexel's ruthless and merciless reputation, but I had to do

something to stop my brother from being such a pessimist

"Tam not. You don't know "

A soft knock on the door stopped him from speaking further. He kissed Kimberley again and then said, "Come in."

Drexel walked in followed by Leo and Eric. As soon as he stepped in, our gazes locked. I was tempted to go and hug him or be in his arms, but I restrained myself by digging my nails into my palms. 'Go to him,' a voice whispered to me

'Kiss him.'

Gods. I really didn't want to look insane right now. So I kept deathly quiet even as he stared at me like a predator. My skin heated like a thousand suns. He looked so gorgeous that I regretted looking like a sweaty pig. Wearing navy blue pants with a white shirt and gild cufflinks, his aura was simply too stunning

Why did he have to look so beautiful? I wanted

to avert my gaze from him because at the back of my mind I knew that he was about to marry Freya soon. Yet here I was. Swooning like a schoolgirl. Well, to be honest I was a schoolgirl

"Penelope." He said my name as if I was the only person existing for him. Yes, he had that kind of an effect on me

It was then I realized that my breath was lodged in my throat when I said, "Drexel," with a shaky breath. His lips lifted into a half smile

Steven got up and so did Kimberley

"Alpha!" Kimberley bowed her head to him and I heard Steven's low growl. I knew he didn't like the way Kimberley submitted to him

"How are you, Kimberley?" said Drexel as he very coolly came to stand right beside me on the couch

"I-I am doing well, Alpha," she said in a low voice

Drexel acknowledged Steven in the end, but he gave him his hand and said, "Hello Steven."

Steven was taken aback. He looked at Drexel for a moment before taking his hand, completely caught by surprise. Drexel shook his hand firmly with him as everyone else watched with amazement "Hello Drexel," Steven said, his voice guarded

"Please sit." Steven acknowledged Leo and Beta by nodding slightly. They came to stand behind us while Neo and Mateo went to stand behind Steven and Kimberley. The library looked like a war room. I was glad we were surrounded by books and not daggers

"I got Kimberley's message that she is your mate," Drexel said as he stretched his arms behind and then placed one behind me on the couch. I stiffened immediately but it would be a lie if I said that his cedar scent stormed my nostrils and I was trying my best to keep my head clear. "She wants to be free from my command."

"Yes," Steven replied

"I don't mind doing that at all, but you have to make a deal with me," Drexel replied, coming straight to business. How arrogant he was

"What deal?" Steven was no less. He wanted to get over it fast

"That diamond mine of yours-" Steven stiffened

Drexel continued, "T want you to have a trade pact with me instead of the humans. I know many diamond merchants in the human world who want to purchase high quality diamonds, and you are still struggling with that. Moreover, I know that some of the senators are after you and trying to make your life miserable about it

You got that two million dollars by selling a chunk of your uncut diamonds to them. Sign the deal with me instead. You will benefit far

"And what will you get out of the deal?" asked Steven, wary of him

My hands clenched into tight fists in anger

Drexel saw business in this also? Suddenly, his fingers came to stroke me lightly on my back. I froze
