BOUGHT BY THE RUTHLESS ALPHA novel Chapter 32

*** William P.O.V ***
 
  “Love… Are you okay? Do you feel better now?” I asked as I led her to sit on the bed gently. She didn’t reply. This unresponsive behaviour from her is really scary. She suddenly held the collar of my shirt and pulled me closer.
 
  I moved closer and sat down beside her thinking that she is still scared and wanted me to hold her. What happened must have really affected her to make her remain rigid in my arms.
 
  She hugged me tightly and buried her face in my chest. I was just about to pat her back when I felt the warm liquid. My shirt is getting wet. Is she… Is she crying? I hugged her tightly in return and sat patiently.
 
  Soon enough, I could hear her soft cries and sobs as she cried. I just held her tightly feeling so pained. Why the heck did I allow that bitch to hurt her like this?
 
  I can hear Mark whine softly in my head as we listened to our mate cry. I could feel him trying to come out. He probably wants to comfort our mate. But I’m not going to shift and scare her even more.
 
  “Please, Bridget stop crying. It hurts to hear you cry like this. Please stop crying,” I whispered into her ears softly. She shook terribly in my arms and I felt even worse than I felt before. How could I have just stood by and done nothing?
 
  If it wasn’t for the fact that Sienna is James's sister, I would have torn her apart right there. I wouldn’t have let her emotionally hurt Bridget like this.
 
  Just then Bridget stuttered, “I… am… so… weak… I.. feel… so… weak. I… I. I don’t deserve… You.” Ouch! I was clearly not expecting her last words. It really hurt me. Mark whined even louder in protest.
 
  ‘I should have torn that bitch apart if you’d let me,’ he complained. I shoved him to the back of my mind and concentrated on comforting Bridget.
 
  “Please, don’t say that love. You know it’s not true. You do deserve me. That’s why the moon goddess paired you with me,” I told her softly and pat her back lightly.
 
  “I’m so weak… That… that I can’t even shift. All the Luna(s) I have seen can shift,” she answered softly. I almost chuckled. Is this why she feels that she doesn’t deserve me?
 
  “That’s because you are a special kind of wolf,” I told her. Well, I am actually not lying. Father told me white wolves are a rare and special breed. They are even more powerful than other wolves.
 
  I smiled inwardly when I thought of the fact that my mate’s wolf is probably stronger than mine. That will be a huge hit on Mark’s ego. Let me tell you. He really has such a huge ego. Well, it’s expected from most alpha wolves.
 
  Bridget looked up at me with her tear-filled eyes. Wow! Should I tell her how beautiful she looks whenever she cries? Hahaha, I’m sure that would probably not end well.
 
  Let me just keep my thoughts to myself and continue ogling at her secretly. “Is it true?” she asked me with so much hope in her eyes. I felt a little confused cause I had already forgotten what I told her just now.
 
  “Is it true that I am a special kind of wolf?” she asked again when she didn’t receive any reply from me. I nodded and looked at her with the most innocent and convincing look I could muster.
 
  “Yes, the beautiful mate the moon goddess has chosen for me is a special kind. Bridget Smith Bridget, you are special to me,” I told her and her cheeks turned instantly pink. She’s blushing.
 
  I chuckled when I saw this. At least, it’s better than her crying even though I prefer how beautiful she looks when crying. I would rather keep it to myself cause I believe my wife has a hidden sassy attitude.
 
  She has just displayed a little of that attitude outside. I hope to see more of it. “So don’t think of Sienna anymore. You are superior to her. You are my mate. My Luna. You shouldn’t let the daughter of a Gamma spoil your mood,” I told her and she nodded.
 
   She nodded and looked downwards whispering, “I am sorry.” Why is she acting like a kid that has been caught doing something wrong? Even so, she is so cute right now.
 
  “I am sorry that I let her words get the best of me. I’m sorry 'cause I soiled your shirt with tears and snot,” she said quietly. I chuckled and stroked her cheeks, “I don’t mind. You can soil all my shirts with tears all you want.”
 
  She immediately looked up with an amazing look and asked, “Really?” I nodded and answered her, “Yes of course. But only happy tears.”
 
  She burst into laughter. Her soft peals of laughter sounded pleasant to my ears. I’m so used to the shrill and annoying laughter of other women that now I can see the difference.
 
  I leaned over and planted a kiss on her cute nose. She scrunched her nose up in a cute way. I think she should have been a cat shifter instead of a wolf. She behaves just like a cute kitty.
 
  “Don’t let any other lady degrade you. I am your mate okay? And I belong to you. Only you,” I think I said the last words huskily. Well, don’t blame me. She’s just so captivating.
 
  Bridget blushed once again. I stood up and pulled her up. Then I led her to the walk-in closet in the room. “Let’s change and head downstairs for lunch. I’m hungry,” I told her. She looked like she wanted to protest but then she decided against it when she thought of something.
 
  As we walked into the closet, I mind-linked Liam and asked him if he has taken care of that stray rogue found wandering in the pack earlier.
 
  I also asked if he sent the message to Jackson. If he dares mess with my mate, I won’t think twice before ripping his head off his body.
