BOUGHT BY THE RUTHLESS ALPHA

Chapter 53

*** William P.O.V *** “Alpha, we have news,” he said. “Share it already,” I grumbled, still pissed off that he interrupted my almost love-making session with my mate. Liam looked at me probably wondering why I sound so harsh. I glared back at him and he immediately gave me the wide paper. “They investigated the invasion. The rogues were sent by Alpha Hunter.” “You can just say his pack’s name,” I grumbled again when I heard the name of one of my greatest and longest enemies. They actually dared to try and send rogues to my pack. Didn’t he think of the amount of influence I have? I know he hasn’t made a move on me all these years because he doesn’t have enough influence, power, authority and force to do so. So it is actually so surprising that he now wants to challenge me. Hmm… This sound tricky. What is he trying to prove by doing this? Did he get a great influential pack to back him up? If not, I will make sure I wipe out him and his pack’s existence from the surface of the earth. “This still makes no sense to me. Permit me to say my opinions alpha,” Jake chirped in. I nodded and sat down comfortably looking at him. “Alpha Hunter doesn’t have enough connection or influence to hire those rogues. We all know how expensive those annoying creatures are. No pack can hire them for a mission like this easily unless you have a connection with their leaders,” he said and I nodded urging him to go on while I thought of what he just said. Liam looked like he disagree with what Jake is saying but I stopped him from interrupting. These

two are always at war with each other and I still don’t know why. Jake made faces at him and I rolled my eyes at them. Seriously!!? We are in the middle of a serious discussion right now and these two are behaving so childishly. What the heck? “Jake!,” father called out making him face me again seriously again. “Alpha as I was saying earlier. Secondly, Alpha Hunter doesn’t have the guts to go against you even if he has shown the entire world how much he hates you. I know he won’t act so recklessly and do something disastrously to his pack,” he said. I nodded again and thought of it. He is actually right. Now I am a little confused. What if we say it isn’t Hunter that is behind this attack and he is the one behind it? Just then Liam asked, “Alpha, can I talk now?” I nodded. I need more opinions as of now. He smiled and said, “I beg to differ from what Jake has just said.” He glared at Jake who glared at him in return. “Why?” my father asked. “We shouldn’t underestimate Alpha Hunter,” Liam said and I nodded. This is making sense and is also making me even more confused. “We can claim he can’t do it but over these few years, we all already heard news and rumours about the tremendous growth of his pack. So I think he must be the culprit. Alpha, he has simply challenged you so we have to declare war on his pack,” Liam said smugly. I looked puzzled and a little bit confused. I’m torn between Liam's and Jake’s opinions. How do I know which one to choose? I looked up and my eyes clashed with similar-coloured eyes. Yes! Father… Father hasn’t spoken.

“Father, what do you have to say about this?” I asked and the old alpha rubbed his chin. He said in a gruff voice, “I propose further investigation. We can start with the rogues we have captured.” I was startled. So we have some of those criminals in captivity and no one told me. I hope they already tortured them properly just like they deserve. “Why did no one ever mention this to me? Let’s head there straight away. I don’t want to waste any more time in case the enemy strikes again,” I said. They stood up and walked out. I followed behind them as they headed to the former courtyard we converted into a prison for criminals like those rogues. *** Smith Bridget P.O.V *** “You are finally awake!” Daniella exclaimed as soon as she saw me. I smiled and greeted her. I walked to her to see what she was stirring. “You are just in time for lunch. Sit on the kitchen island and give me just a few minutes. Food will soon be ready,” she told me. I nodded and I walked to the kitchen island. I would have offered to help but I just felt too weak at the moment. ‘Hmm… But you weren’t feeling weak when he was doing those dirty things to you in the bed,’ a faint voice said in my head. I blushed hard when I remembered what would have happened in the room if he hadn’t left. “Why are you wearing such long clothes in this hot weather?” Daniella suddenly asked as she

turned to me. That was when she noticed my face. “What happened to you? Why is your face so red? Are you having a fever?” she bombarded me with questions. I shook my head immediately to indicate ‘No’. I can’t even tell her why I am wearing long clothes in this hot weather nor can I tell her my face is so red. William wasn’t really gentle earlier cause he made sure to leave his mark everywhere so now my body is filled with hickeys. I screamed when I saw them in the bathroom mirror earlier. I am seriously going to warn him tonight about it if we do continue what he started. At the thought of that, I blushed even more. I am anxiously anticipating tonight. Daniella looked at me suspiciously when I refused to say a word. She dished out the food and walked to me. I collected the food and was walking to the dining room to eat when I suddenly heard her gasp from behind me. “I knew it! You were hiding something from me!” she exclaimed as she shrieked in excitement. . . . …… Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
