BOUGHT BY THE RUTHLESS ALPHA

Chapter 76

*** William P.O.V *** “What is wrong? Why are you looking at me that way?” She asked just as I expected. “Why didn’t you tell me she was here when we came back earlier or hasn’t she arrive then? Why did you even let her in?” I bombarded her with questions. She sighed and said,” I didn’t even remember to tell you earlier with the way you were looking stressed. I didn’t want to add to the current problem and I did try to send her back.” “So why is she still here?” Liam asked this time and we both looked at her expectantly. She finally said,” I tried to send her back but she didn’t go instead she even called her uncle.” That was when I rubbed my face. “Oh jeez!” I said. I totally forgot to inform the father of what has been going on between me and Jackson. Well, he must have heard by now. News travels faster especially when it’s bad news. Good news always takes time to circulate around. I sighed and told her, “It’s okay. You can leave now.” They nodded and turned around to leave. Just before they could reach the door, I called Liam back and said, “Liam, when anyone comes by asking for me. Don’t let them in except if it’s the father. I don’t want any disturbance for now. I just want to take care of Bridget.” He nodded and Daniella said with a small smile,” I will cook my special medicinal soup for her. You can feed it to her later.” I nodded and told Liam once again, “And please inform Alan that I want to see him in three hours' time.” Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

He nodded in response once again and I finally let them leave. As the door closed gently behind them, I sighed and took in the sudden silence in the room. Then I looked at the bed and walked to Bridget. I smiled and knelt down beside her before holding her hand. I kissed the back of her hand softly and that was when I noticed how cold it was. I panicked and checked other parts of her body. Every part of her body was cold like she has just been brought out of a fridge. I checked her pulse immediately and was a little bit relieved when I felt her faint heartbeats. I immediately ran out of the room and collided with Jake. He rubbed the part of his head that had bumped into me before asking me, “What’s wrong alpha? What is going on? Why were you running like that? Who is chasing you?” He didn’t even give me any time to answer his questions. Just kept on asking me questions. I ruffled my hair and told him,” I need Alan. Get him for me right now. Bridget is freezing. I don’t know why.” He looked a little bit confused maybe cause of the word I said ‘freezing’. But he turned around and went to the basement to get Alan. I have instructed him to direct Alan to the basement. Don’t judge me. I am even generous enough to let him stay in the basement. I have a prison in the courtyard where I could have asked him to stay but I didn’t. I ran back to my room and went to Bridget. She was now trembling. Her face contorted into that familiar pained expression she gave off in the bathtub earlier. I sniffled as I stared at her feeling so helpless. I haven’t felt this helpless in my life.

*** Alan P.O.V *** I even told the man Alpha had asked to direct me to this basement. I’ve heard him call the man Jake a few times. So when he was leaving, I called out, “Jake, thank you.” He had a surprised look on his face as he turned around to look at me like he couldn’t believe I just thanked him. I smiled at him and the surprised look on his face disappeared as he turned around with an expressionless face and walked out. I smiled as I looked around the room too big to be called a basement. It isn’t even as creepy as the basement I had in mind when he told me back there that I was gonna be staying in a basement. This basement is so clean and shiny. It’s even well-furnished. I have a TV set, a mini-fridge, a game console centre, a bathroom that consisted of a toilet too and what more I have a bed. Bigger than most beds I have seen in my life. Hell, I haven’t slept in a bed for years. Don’t be surprised. Alpha Jackson wasn’t that lenient with us even if we were his most treasured army. We ate twice a day in that underground prison he kept us in. We had to sleep on the bed and there was not even sight of sunlight. The only source of light in his underground prison was the light bulbs he had fixed all around the underground. So they won’t get my excitement and my happiness. I lay on the soft bed and was immediately beginning to feel drowsy. I thought of Jace. He is still in that prison. I thought of my fellow rogues. They are all still in that prison.

I hope Alpha William will be lenient enough to pardon us and release them, especially Jace. Before I knew it, I was already travelling to la Land if you get what I mean. I was actually getting a peaceful sleep in my life for the first time since I met Alpha Jackson. That was when my ears perked up. Seems like I just heard the sound of something being opened gently. Is it a door? I wanted to get up and check it out but I was just too tired and comfortable to stand up now. I don’t want to leave the comfort of this soft bed. I was convinced that an intruder already entered the room when I was suddenly assailed by the strong scent of my favourite flower. This scent was just too strong to be a flower. It even smells like the meal I love the most. What a weird and crazy combination of aromas but I love it. What is that? . . . ……..
