BOUGHT BY THE RUTHLESS ALPHA

Chapter 74

*** William P.O.V *** I can’t even do a damn thing to ease her pain. I honestly wish I had listened to her and stayed at home instead. I looked up and glared at Alan. I don’t care if he’s helping us now. I will make him pay for what he has done. As if he could feel my deathly glare, I saw him shuddering a little from what I was supposed to be fear. He asked me quietly again, “Alpha, can you endure the pain?” I sniffled and replied to him even if I don’t want to talk to him now,” I am coping.” I stared at the potion and my mate for what I’ll call the most agonizing hours of my life until the potion slowly began to change colour. It wasn’t looking like a deep red anymore. I peered at it… I still can’t make out what kind of colour it’s changing to. This time, I didn’t have a chance but to call out to him, “Hey, it’s changing colour.” “What colour?” He asked me and I looked at the potion. I still don’t know what colour this is so I just said,” I don’t know. Come check it out yourself.” *** Smith Bridget P.O.V *** I can feel myself drowning in the lake or is it the ocean… Why does it hurt so much? I can’t open myself but I can’t hold myself back from crying out in pain. It hurts so much.

Why is this water prickling my skin? I gasped and suddenly couldn’t breathe. As everything went dark, I heard that distant voice saying, “It’s alright. You are fine. You will be fine.” Is that Deli? *** William P.O.V *** I walked out slowly as I cradled Bridget in my arms. She is wrapped in a towel and all dripping with water. She suddenly gasped and I whispered, “It’s alright. You are fine… You will be fine.” Then she was quiet again. I left Alan in the bathroom to discard the water… Oops… I mean potion. I’m still confused about this magic stuff. He was really surprised when the water changed to crimson instead of colourless. It was like those familiar crimson-coloured eyes, Bridget. “Huh,” He had said. “Isn’t it supposed to be colourless? Is something wrong with the potion I made?” He asked. Talking to himself. I immediately carried Sharon out of that bathtub and wrapped her in a big towel. At least, she wasn’t crying anymore. As soon as I walked out, I was surrounded by all of them except Sienna who stood far away from us. I looked at her and saw that she was staring at the bathroom as if waiting for someone. I squinted my eyes at this. I can feel it blatantly now that something is fishy. But others questions soon diverted my attention from her. Daniella spoke first as I laid Bridget in the bed and brushed her soft, wet hair strands backwards, “Is

everything okay? She was crying painfully. Did that brat do anything to her?” She asked me different questions one after the other. I would have smiled if the situation was different but I didn’t. I just shook my head sideways to indicate ‘Yes’ this time. “She will be fine. It’s just part of the treatment,” I replied curtly. She breathed in relief and looked at Bridget. Jake and Liam pulled me aside. “Alpha, your uncles didn’t take the news of Alpha Jackson’s death well. We are even lucky to have left there earlier before they arrived. The spy we positioned there informed us that as soon as we left, some of your uncles that are on Alpha Jackson’s side came with their pack warriors,” Liam said. “I am afraid, they will use Alpha Jackson’s death as an excuse to start a war with you,” Jake chirped in. I frowned. I know some of my uncles… the greedy ones don’t like me or my father. “Did they hear about what he has done to my mate?” I asked them and they nodded. “Yes, we made sure to send a few servants to spread the news of the atrocity he has committed and his punishment for it,” Jake answered. I mused. It will be a little trouble if my uncles decide to take this against me. I don’t have the time to go to war now that Bridget is in a critical condition. “What about the pack? How did they react to the news?” I asked them. I want to know about the most important details. If the pack’s reaction is positive, then I won’t have to worry too much. Jake and Liam smiled. I heaved a sigh of relief when I saw their smiles. It means good news right?

“Turns out, Alpha Jackson has not only tried this on our Luna. He has committed a lot of atrocities. He forcefully separated mates from each other, he increased the tax payments, he raped and violated women, turned sons to slaves, he…” “That’s enough!” I said a little bit too harshly but I don’t want to hear what that godforsaken cousin of mine has done to the innocent ones. Why will he act like such a beast? If I had known about all this earlier, I would have taken the pain to capture him and torture him. I hope he rots in hell where he belongs. *** Sienna P.O.V *** “Why is he taking so long to come out?” I mumbled to myself as I stared at the bathroom door. I thought of how my stomach churned earlier when William came out with a nude Bridget. I don’t know what happened to her and I honestly don’t care. But omg! Since he came out with her like that, does that mean that weird guy saw her naked? I don’t know why I just feel upset at the fact that he must have seen her nakedness. What was that electric spark that occurred when he walked past me earlier? . . . Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
