BOUGHT BY THE RUTHLESS ALPHA

Chapter 42

*** William P.O.V *** Shamans are so confusing. I turned back to Bridget who was still sleeping peacefully. She looks like a sleeping beauty. Yeah, my sleeping beauty. I didn’t know when I was quietly drawn into a deep slumber by just sitting by her side and watching her. *** Smith Bridget P.O.V *** I could only see total darkness. I just kept walking around gradually feeling exhausted. I stopped for a while feeling lonely. Everywhere is just so quiet and I feel so scared. Where am I? I bent down and looked down. Not like I can see anything in this darkness. Suddenly I felt something shine in the darkness. I looked up and saw a bright purple light shining brightly in the darkness. I should be scared. Hell! I should scream out of fear but instead, I felt oddly calm as I stared at the bright purple light. The darkness slowly dispersed and I realized that what I have been referring to as light all this time is actually a pair of bright eyes. I stood up and stared at the familiar white wolf in front of me. Why am I just seeing these wolves everywhere? I stared at her. Unlike earlier when the brown wolf was with us, she didn’t look so sad. This time she smiled at me. Her smile didn’t contain that immense sadness from earlier. “Deli,” I called out and walked to her. “I am so sorry,” I stopped a few steps away from her. Like

before, she didn’t talk. Just licked her paws and stared back at me. She laid down on her belly and stared up at me. She nudged me and I realized that she was probably asking me to sit too. I sat down still feeling a little bit bitter. “I am sorry… I am the reason why you are trapped,” I said again and took in a deep breath. I sighed and mumbled, “I hate the fact that I am so weak.” ‘Don’t blame yourself, Bridget. I already told you this same thing over and over again, I heard Deli’s voice in my head. I looked at her. It still feels so weird to be seeing her yet hearing her voice in my head. “Yes, I know but I can’t still help but think that if only I was strong enough… If only I were strong enough, you would be able to meet his wolf,” I told her. I buried my face in my hands. I hate this kind of fate the moon goddess gave me. I don’t resent her cause, after all, it’s because of her that I am able to meet that amazing alpha. It’s because of her that I am mated to William. Thinking of it, I still can’t help but think… “I feel like I don’t deserve him Deli,” I cried out. I still didn’t look up to face her. Just kept my face buried in my hands and spilt out every heavy weighing thought in my head. “I don’t deserve him… Maybe what Sienna said was right after all. He deserves to be with someone as awesome and strong as her. He deserves to be with that beautiful, rare redhead wolf. He should be with that powerful…,” a loud growl cut off my statement. I looked up in surprise and stared at Deli. Her purple eyes are spitting out anger as she glared at

me. She can’t talk but I can feel her intense anger. ‘Don’t say that Bridget… You don’t know how powerful you are,’ Deli’s voice came through in my head. I gaped at her in surprise. What is she saying? I am so weak that I couldn’t even stop beta Gaby from sexually harassing me. I couldn’t stop Alpha Jackson from tormenting my life yet she is telling me I don’t know how powerful I am. I don’t know how powerful I am but I surely know how weak I am. Deli’s eyes held an amused glint in them as she looked at me. ‘You don’t know how beautiful you truly are,’ she said again. I was completely speechless. Deli of all people should know that until lately, I had a lot of scars on my skin. ‘You don’t know how rare you are,’ she stated. Yeah, Deli keeps it up. Keep on filling my head with nonsense that is not true and continue making me speechless. She made a low growling sound again. It is not like that angry one she made earlier. If I listen closely this time, it’s like she is laughing instead. Of course, that sounds absurd. No one can hear animals laugh. ‘Just be patient Bridget… You will find out soon enough,’ she said and then I watched in horror as the wolf vanished or am I the one that vanished? *** William P.O.V ***

I stirred a little when I heard a faint cry. The cry finally registered in my sleepy brain and I realized that sound was from Bridget. Is she awake? I opened my eyes immediately and lifted my head. I shook my head slightly to get the remaining sleep from my head as I stared at her. No, she is not awake. But yet again, she is crying. I sighed and held her hand. Why does she keep on doing these things that hurt me a lot? “Bridget… Bridget,” I whispered. “I’m here. Stop crying… Please stop crying, honey.” I was stunned when she stopped crying and opened her eyes. I can’t describe how relieved I felt. She sat up and hugged me, encircling her hands around me. I bent my head and planted a kiss on her head. I was just about to ask her something when Liam suddenly mind-linked me, “Alpha… We have a problem.’ ‘What is it?’ I asked. ‘Your father just called. He wants us to come back immediately,’ he replied. ‘Did he tell you why?’ I answered him. ‘Apparently, you have been away for just a short time and rogues already have the guts to invade our pack,’ he told me. I frowned. Those annoying creatures. “Did you even hear what I said?” Bridget asked me. Huh! Did she say something? I didn’t even hear her. ‘We will be ready soon. I’ll meet you downstairs,’ I told Liam and cut off the mind link before facing Bridget. . . .
