BOUGHT BY THE RUTHLESS ALPHA

Chapter 2

*** William P.O.V *** My alarm goes off as soon as the clock reaches the six o'clock position. I got out of bed, changed into some workout clothes, and headed straight for the fitness centre as soon as I could. The fitness centre is located in close proximity to the home. It is located directly across the street from here. My home is in the adjacent pack house. The structure has a total of twelve floors. Every single member of the pack calls this place home. I have exclusive use of the top floor. I'm the Alpha. Before I head out to the crucial pack meeting I have, I would like to get in some exercise. Alpha Johnson and his pack have been giving me a lot of trouble recently. He is both needlessly obnoxious and merciless in his actions. It's a good thing his pack isn't very big and doesn't have a lot of strength, because if it did, he'd be a danger to a lot of people. While I was running on the treadmill, I went over the notes that were taken at today's meeting. After being seated for an hour, I eventually got up and went back to my room to take a shower. After using the lavatory for a little while, I walked out and was all set to leave. I had been there for a few minutes. I make my way down to the first level, where I am supposed to meet up with my beta, Liam. "Good Morning Alpha," Liam replies, smirking at me. Liam's grin never stops appearing on his face. I've seen that he appears to be far too content for his own good. "Good morning, Liam! Have you looked over the notes yet?" "Well, yes, of course, I did," she replied. Please don't make a fuss; they require our assistance. After gently stroking me on the back, Liam adds, "I don't imagine there is anything for us to be

concerned about." When we were both only little puppies, Liam and I have been inseparable companions. His father was a mentor and friend to my own father. We exited through the main entrance of the building. "Even though I realise this is going to be helpful in the meeting, I am not looking forward to it at all," Liam says. "I am not looking forward to it at all." I cocked my eyebrow in his direction. "Every time I interact with Alpha Johnson, I get the wrong impression. The response from Liam was, "He's just... slimy." "Yes, I am aware of what you are implying, Liam; yet, we require that land. As we pulled up to the airport, I said something to the effect of it's unfortunate that he owns that piece of property. We made our way to our private jet and got ready for the flight that would take us to the Blood Forest Pack, which would take us approximately two hours and fifty minutes in total. After a few more hours, when we arrived there much sooner than we had anticipated, I began to feel antsy and ready to get things over with. The Blood Forest Pack may not always have a huge number of members, but they do control a significant amount of land across numerous countries. We are considering making an offer to buy a piece of land that they possess that is located just next to the lands that we control. There will soon be a brand new medical centre there thanks to our decision. We bypassed the man's planned arrival time by twenty minutes and headed directly to Alpha Johnson's packhouse. Should we wait for it? The question comes from Liam, who is looking out the window at the house, which is located in the middle of the forest and is of adequate size. "Let's get this done so we can move on." As I opened the door, I made a mental note. The backyard seems to be quiet, but in the distance, I can make out the sound of warriors practising their skills.

Before knocking on the door, we moved up to it and took a few steps in that direction. Instantaneously, the door opened, and there, standing in front of me, was Luna Katherine. The alpha Johnson has chosen her to be his mate. She greets both Beta Liam and me with a warm smile as we enter the room. "Well, isn't it wonderful to have you here at this time?" She remarked that she opened the door for us in the correct manner so that we could enter inside. "Luna Katherine, do you think we could have arrived a little too soon? I'm hoping it won't be a problem for you. I asked. "Oh, absolutely not at all. Alpha William. She responded with a chuckle as she led us up the stairs and instructed us to "Please agree with me and come with me." Alpha Johnson was already at his place of employment. The residence has a lot of open space, and the stairs lead to six different entrances. Everything that is happening downstairs is visible to you. Almost instantly, we came to a stop in front of the second door. She rapped on the door and then opened it. As soon as we walked inside the room, I noticed Alpha Johnson seated in the chair behind his desk, while the Beta was lounging on the couch. . . . As I abruptly sniffed the air, the first thing that sprang to my mind was, "What is that smell?" My wolf barked, "Mate!", and it was addressed to Mark. At that point, I looked over and noticed a woman was positioned next to the Alpha. She has jet-black hair that is pulled back into a messy bun and is of average height. She appears to be clothed in the attire of a maid. Oh wait, does that mean she's an omega? It seems as though she is anxious. She is definitely attempting to avoid making eye contact with anyone by glancing at the ground.

The fact that Mark continues roaring the word "mate" in my thoughts gives me instant confirmation that she is indeed my mate. Alpha Johnson whispered to Smith, "Get out of here," so that no one else could hear him say it. "Get out of here." I reacted swiftly and turned her back around before she could leave. "Wait!" I yelled out in surprise. From the corner of my eye, I can make out Liam twisting his head to look at me. "Mate," I mind-link, Liam. Alpha Johnson, Luna, and his Beta are all looking at me as though they don't understand what's going on. I got a little bit closer to her and put my hand on her neck just below her chin. She grimaced in pain and then looked up. The moment her ruby eyes locked with mine, I was unable to draw another breath. "Mate," I say. After staring at me for a minute, she eventually looked away and her eyes returned to the ground. I experienced a sharp pain in my chest as a result of my presumption that I had been rejected. . . . ...... Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
