BOUGHT BY THE RUTHLESS ALPHA novel Chapter 14

  
Bridget P.O.V
I could feel the blood leaving my face and a void opening up within me at the same time. As William's anger started to boil over, I turned to look at him. I am able to observe him dashing towards the lift just as the doors are closing.
 
"William, assist," I mind-linked him.
 
Nevertheless, he is not quick enough, and the door is closed behind him. I heaved a scared sigh. Right now, just Alpha Jackson and I are here.
 
*** Willams P.O.V ***
 
I could almost make out a whisper of her pleading voice in my thoughts as she called out to William for assistance. Mark barked in my mind and fought me to take control of the situation. I sprinted as quickly as I could in the direction of the lift. I sent Liam a mental link that said, "Jackson is currently in the lift with Bridget."
 
"WHAT?! " Liam exclaims in shock. I was walking towards the lift when the door suddenly closed behind me.
 
"No... No... No...," I walk up to the door and begin pressing the buttons, hoping that it will open for me. Where exactly are we heading in this lift?"
 
"As you wish, boss. "What are you going to do?" he questioned. "I don't know." I answered while gazing at the door and said, "I'm going to take the stairs."
 
"You'll never make it in time."
 
"I will if I change," I said as I dashed for the door and started tossing my clothing aside. As soon as I'm on the stairway, I make a shift in my position. I took off running down the stairs as quickly as I could.
 
Liam yelled, "They are heading to the pinnacle floor boss!" as they approached them.
 
*** Bridget's P.O.V ***
 
As soon as the lift started moving, I overheard him take a long breath, almost as if he were sniffing the air, and say, "Oh, how I've missed that delectable aroma." Your anxiety is comparable to the most enticing aroma.
 
I am frozen. What do I do? I can't get out. "You are gazing, gorgeous Smith. "I'm imprisoned. "I think being a future Luna would look well on you," he adds as he walks in front of me. "That would complement you."
 
My reflex is to jerk away as his hand moves closer to making contact with my face. He was giggling to himself as he forcefully touched my face with his hands. I lowered my head and shut my eyes as he knelt down. I made another attempt to pull, but he forced my body into the wall, preventing me from succeeding. I am completely out of options at this point.
 
“What? Are you pleased to see me after such a long time? He hissed in my direction. "Where have those stunning ruby eyes gone?" As he glanced at me, he asked the question.
 
"Well, I guess you don't seem to be terrified," the other person said. He remarked while tilting his head to the side and moving his hand to my throat before applying pressure to it. I saw him take something that glistened brilliantly out of the corner of my eye and hand it to me.
 
As he stabbed my cheeks with the blade, he said, "Maybe we should proceed with our little game," and then he laughed. When a tear rolls down my cheek, I take a deep breath and force it in.
 
"Bridget, I'm sorry, but I can't leave right now. Deli's voice whispers in the back of my head, "He knows."
 
What do you know? I asked bewildered and afraid.
 
"At this point, that is of no importance. You only need to muster your strength for a few more minutes at this point. Can you carry out the task? She inquired.
 
"Well, I'll give it a shot."
 
He moved the knife to my thigh and began stabbing me. Because I'm wearing shorts, the only parts of my body that are bare are my legs.
 
As he looked down and saw that my legs were unharmed, he remarked, "Oh, it appears that I missed a few locations." He took another whiff of me while he was leaning into my neck. While he licked my neck, he murmured something sweet into my ear and said, "Intoxicating, my sweetheart." I let out a whimper and make an effort to retreat. After that, he uses the knife to cut the front of my shirt apart, exposing both my stomach and my bra. I make an effort to get free, but he only responds by tightening his hold on my neck and lifting me off the ground.
 
"Where on earth are her eyes?!" Simple as that, he yelled as the lift came to a stop and the door opened to reveal the most breathtaking scenery.
 
*** William P.O.V ***
 
"Are they striving to reach the pinnacle?" I asked Liam. "No, they have not ceased their activities. They are currently on ground 9 and continuing to ascend. Crap, I'm on 8. I need to exert more effort.
 
I'm climbing the stairs as quickly as I can manage at the moment. After what seemed like an eternity, I broke through the door of the lift and eventually reached the top floor. I put the car in reverse and pressed the button. When the door suddenly opened, I saw that my companion had been lifted off the ground. He had his hands around her neck, her shirt was torn, and she has brand-new cuts on her face and leg. He was holding her down. There is a knife in Jayson's hand.
 
*** Bridget's P.O.V ***
 
I look up to see William standing at the entrance completely nude and out of breath. He glared at her and hissed, "Get your hands off my partner."
 
"You are aware that I firmly oppose the fact that you used to pretend that she was your partner. This is something that I completely reject. I assumed you were aware of the situation you were in. It is clear to me now that she is your partner. But what exactly did you do to her when she was a wolf? If we made eye contact, I could see those fiery eyes appearing before me in an instant. Nothing more to say"
 
Smith seems to be going through some kind of transition.
