BOUGHT BY THE RUTHLESS ALPHA

Chapter 20

The walls, ceiling and flooring are all light wood. There are cosy throw pillows everywhere. There is an enormous window on the wall with a stunning view of the water. There is also a dining room with a table that can hold a capacity of about sixteen people. A large chandelier is in the centre of the room. Opposite the dining room is the kitchen. The kitchen has a stone island and moderate wood cabinets with dark brown countertops. The cabin has two units of stairs, one spiral staircase off the kitchen and each other straight staircase off the dwelling room. We went up the stairs and walked into a hallway. “This is the bathroom. It's connected to my room and yours,” William said. “This will be my room in case you need me.,” He points to the one next to the bathroom. “And this is your room,” He stopped at the room down the hallway. When he unlocked the door, the scent of wood and plant filled my nose. This room is beautiful! It has a small bed by the window side and it is filled with pillows. There is a big mattress in the centre of the room with bedposts. There is a small desk and chair. “There is a lot related to this room so I hope you would like this room,” he says and he puts my bag on the mattress and one of the doors. I entered and walked into a beautiful room with small white tiled flooring and another large window, letting in all the natural light. This place looks too good to be real!! I can not stop smiling at everything. “I’m happy you like it,” William said with a laugh.

“I’ve never been in a vicinity like this before, ” I mumble, still looking around the room. I lay on the small bed that's by the window side. It has an outstanding view of the woods assembling the lake. “Well, I will let you get settled. Come down when you are through and we will make plans for today,” William said, making his way to the door and leaving. I felt a pang in my heart when he closed the door. I want him to continue staying here but he is respecting my decision. I closed my eyes and took in a deep breath, taking in the final scent of him. I run and bounce on the bed. I love it here and I never want to leave. I opened my bag and start unpacking when I heard a knock on my door. “Come in!” I shouted and Daniella walked in with a laugh. “Hey hun, how’s going? I see William gave you the residence suite,” She says with a grin. “Yeah, it is so attractive here that it's almost unreal.” Daniella laughed and bounced on the bed too. “Yeah, I saw everything the first time I came here. It was soon changed and it was nothing like the place I used to visit,” She said, reminiscing about the past. I don't know a whole lot about Daniella’s past but I think she used to be from this pack and most have grown up with William and Liam. I know the guys grew up together cause during dinners William would tell me funny memories about the trouble those two would get into. But I have now not heard anything about Daniella. “Didn't you grow up in the Moon Lake Pack?” I asked.

Daniella shook her head. “No, the pack I grew up in does not exist anymore.” “What happened?,” I asked as I slept beside her on the bed. We each looked up at the ceiling. “Well, the pack I grew up in used to be small. It was excellent. I knew everyone and everyone knew me. However, there are dangers of being a small pack. We had been attacked by rogues more than once. They wanted our resources and land. We continually fought them off though until that night, we couldn't fight back anymore. My mother and father were Gammas and warriors. The Alpha of our pack had known a useful resource about the Moon Lake Pack. They fought and fought until we were finally reduced to thirteen. Our Alpha was badly wounded. Moon Lake helped us and when they successfully defeated the rogues, the two Alphas of the pack agreed to let my pack be a part of Moon Lake under one Alpha. The Alpha of our pack died the next day. We were then introduced to the Moon Lake Pack which was a wonderful alternative for all of us.” “Who wasn’t nice?” I asked quickly. “Just a few girls. Don’t go beating everyone over it,” Daniella giggled. I chuckled realizing it used to be a long time ago. “How old were you then?” I asked. “I was 13 when I came here. Life has been very great since then. I completed school. I found my mate. And I’ve made a good friend too,” Daniella said, reaching out for my hand. I smiled knowing she is speaking about me. A knock rapped on the door. William appeared. “You didn't come down so I thought you fell asleep. But it seems to me that you were caught up in

woman talk,” he says as he leaned against the door frame and folded his hands in front of him. He has a smile on his face so I know he’s not mad, on the other hand, there is a need in his voice. “This is my fault. I started talking and you are aware of how much of a talkative I can be,” Daniella said getting up from the bed. Just then Liam comes up. “ Guys, are we just going to waste the rest of this day laying around or are we going to do something? I vote for bonfire and s’mores,” He said, looking at us. “I’m in,” William agreed. “Me too,” Daniella joined. “Me three,” I answered with a smile and just like that Liam takes off down the steps and ran outside. “I’m going to change and I'll come down in a minute,” I mumbled as they all left my room. I changed into a pair of denim shorts, and this lovely off-shoulder white shirt and I put on an oversized cardigan. I put on some sandals and head outside. Liam is working at the fireplace and William is making an attempt to help. “Where’s Daniella?” I ask “She’s inside getting the things we need,” Liam said in a bizarre accent. I chortled and walked inside to help. I helped Daniella in getting the marshmallows, chocolate and graham crackers. Then we head again outside. The guys started a fire and we all take a seat, everyone looking at the water. The sun is beginning to set and the sky is turning crimson and orange. It’s the most beautiful sight I have ever seen. I take a seat between Daniella and William. We all start roasting our marshmallows except Liam who kept on burning his. But I think he likes it that way. When the sun goes down, we all sat down there playing with each

other and listened to the furnace coupled with the sounds of crickets. Then I hear rustling in the tree. I raised my head up in fear. “It’s ok. It’s just the patrols. During the day, they secure and check then at night, the area but they tighten the security in the neighbourhood,” William told me. He points out a few individuals on the patrol and I relax a bit. I was relieved when I saw Gamma Perez coming out from the woods and heading to the cabin. He stands at the front door like a guard. . . . ......Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
