BOUGHT BY THE RUTHLESS ALPHA

Chapter 21

I felt a little uneasy about having Gamma Perez work as a guard. “What about his family? Will, he does this all the time?” I looked up and ask William. He laughed. “I am hoping he will get tired with time. I think he feels guilty for not being capable to shield you in the past. We all do Bridget,” He takes my hand and kissed my palm. It feels so intimate. And as soon as his lips come in contact with my hand, a warm feeling flows through me. I shut my eyes. “Bridget, I understand I’ve never asked before but do you feel anything when I come to contact you?” He asked. “I do. But it’s beautiful every time,” I said. “Okay, so what did you just feel?” He asked. “Warmth. Like a calming, warm sensation travelling through my body,” I explained quietly. William P.O.V She can sense the mate bond! However, she nevertheless does not act as I’ve seen. Others retaliate to it. “She’s just afraid dummy,” Mark said. “But the mate bond is specifically for Alphas. She has to be relatively challenging in opposition to it,” I tell him. “Give mate a room to breathe. Don’t mess this up. I can feel her wolf getting stronger every day,” Mark warned. “Bridget, can I ask you something?” I asked with concern. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

“Yes” “When was the last time you shifted?” I asked as gently as I can. “Oh, well, about two years ago. It felt like for the past two years, my wolf was slipping away from me,” She said, looking down at her arms. “What about now? Do you ride her?” “I feel her growing stronger every day. We can talk now. I didn’t realize how much I ignored her in my head,” She said looking out at the fire. “Does she know when she’ll be strong enough to shift again?” I asked. “She said she still has some time before she’ll be that strong again. But she’s hopeful and so am I,” She’s looking at me smiling. She has the most beautiful smile and blue eyes. I kiss her hand again and she closes to relish the beautiful feeling. We stayed outside until the furnace dies down then we head inside. “I want to go up and take a hot bath in that massive bathtub,” She told me when we were back inside. “Okay, get some rest. We’ll go out tomorrow on a boat. It'll be a busy day and lots of fun too,” I told her and gave her a hug before planting a kiss on top of her head. She disappears upstairs. “Aww, you two are adorable,” Daniella says from the kitchen with a grin on her face. “Daniella doesn’t start. I’m trying so hard so to take it slow. It’s such a struggle,” I said exhaustedly as I flopped down on the sofa.

“I remember when you two found each other. You couldn’t keep your hands off each other. You’d go missing for days,” I say to Daniella and Liam. “Oh hun, I’m sorry. I guess this is difficult. You are doing great though. She’s opening up each day. I honestly think this time she's spending with us will make her comfortable,” Daniella says as she makes her way to the couch “So you suggesting this is a good idea? You announced that I had a good idea. William, write this down. I choose to reflect on this forever. Daniella said I had come up with a great idea,” Liam teased her. I snickered as Daniella rolled her eyes. “That’s it. I’m sleeping in another room tonight,” Daniella spat out, making her way to the stairs. “Oh no, you don’t,” Liam protested and ran after her before carrying her up in bridal style. “After tonight, you want to be sleeping anywhere else without me,” Liam growled and Daniella giggled as they disappeared upstairs. Ok, good talk guys. I prefer to be annoyingly loving with my mate. I have to wait for her though. I take a seat there for a bit before going to bed myself. Bridget‘s P.O.V “Daniella, don’t start. I’m trying to take it slow. It's very difficult to do,” I heard William say. I know I should not be listening but I can't help it. He sounds annoyed. “I still remember when you two met each other. You couldn’t keep your hands off each other. You’d

go missing for days,” William says. He’s dissatisfied with me. I am not the type of mate he wants. I go to my room. I got into the hot tub. “Deli, what am I doing wrong?” I asked. “Oh Bridget, you are not incorrect. How does being with William feel to you?,” Deli asked. “Well, it feels nice, comforting and safe.” “And how do you feel about spending more time with him?” I laughed at her question. “Then, in reality, go at your pace. If you like spending time with him. Then do that. He might be aggravated due to the fact he wishes to spend more time with you. He is feeling the mate bond a lot. You are not feeling it like him because I’m weak. But I will try on getting stronger.” “Deli, I ignored you.” “I know. But I also left you. I shouldn't have done that.” I soak in the bathtub for a long time, thinking about everything that has happened over the previous few days. I thought of William m and how sweet he has been to me. I eventually got out of the bathtub and got ready to sleep. I crawled into the large mattress. It is so comfy that I fell asleep immediately. I woke up to a hand over my mouth. “Hello Smith,” he whispered into my ear. It's s Beta Gaby. “I couldn’t sleep so I thought of paying you a visit. Now be a good kitten and be quiet.”

I perceived the odour of wine from his breath. He turned me over and lays on top of me. I tried to get out from underneath him cause his weight was practically suffocating me. I screamed as he hit me in the face. I can see stars instantly. I feel so queasy like I’m going to pass out from the pain. “ I told you to be quiet. You better hope no one heard that” he growled. But anyone did hear and they banged on the door. He is annoyed and hits me again. This time, I pass out. . . . ......
