BOUGHT BY THE RUTHLESS ALPHA novel Chapter 60

William had a mischievous smile on his face as he answered her questions truthfully, “I have been in bed. Bridget is still sleeping.” Daniella was stunned by his response. It’s noon already and he is just waking up.
 
   What exactly were they doing last night that made them wake up late? Is Bridget still sick?
 
  William noticed Daniella’s worried look and quickly told her, “Don’t worry. We are fine. Please don’t disturb Bridget. Let her sleep for a while. She is really exhausted.” Daniella was confused by his last statement.
 
  Exhausted? Does illness make someone feel exhausted? It was until William turned around to head into the kitchen that she finally realized what happened.
 
  Well, William is wearing a sleeveless shirt almost like a singlet. Either, he noticed the scratch marks on his body is still visible or he pretended to notice.
 
  Daniella’s eyes twinkled with excitement when she saw the marks. She is all too familiar with it cause she’s also been there.
 
  “Did they finally claim each other?” she mumbled. She suddenly couldn’t sit still and wanted to stand up to probe Bridget but she remembered William's instructions and couldn’t help but pout in regret.
 
  She has to wait for Bridget to wake up before bombarding her with questions. While she was still sighing in regret and whining to herself, Liam walked in looking a little bit disturbed.
 
  “Hey baby, have you seen Bridget or William, especially William? I have to inform him of something important,” he told her. She didn’t reply and just pointed to the kitchen.
 
  Liam walked to the kitchen briskly. When he got there, William was sitting on a chair eating lunch. “Alpha!,” he called out in a loud voice suddenly startling William and causing him to choke slightly.
 
  Liam quickly handed a glass of water to him. When William stopped choking, he glared at Liam and asked him, “What the heck is wrong with you!? Why did you call me that way?”
 
  “I am sorry,” Liam answered quietly. “But I have to tell you something important.” William ate his food without answering Liam. Liam was a little upset but just told him directly, “William, we’ve got concrete evidence to show us that alpha Hunter is indeed the one behind the failed invasion of our pack.”
 
  William stopped eating and looked up at him immediately. His facial expression appeared serious and Liam smirked discreetly, pleased that he now takes his words seriously.
 
  “Is he the one that sent those rogues to attack us on the way too,” William asked and Liam nodded.
 
  “Yes, we caught some of them who have confessed to their crime,” Liam answered looking proud that they were able to solve a mission successfully in just a day.
 
  William looked infuriated. “What do you want us to do to him alpha?” Liam asked, shaking a little bit at the anger sparks from William's body.
 
 
*** Sienna P.O.V ***
 
 
  “Have you gone crazy!? Can’t you just let him go and move on with your life!?,” Jack asked me as he tried to hold on to the luggage in my hand. I glared at him. Why is this good-for-nothing brother of mine trying to hold me back from pursuing my dream?
 
 
  “Brother, have you forgotten no one is like you huh!?,” I shouted at him and his tight hold on the luggage loosened a bit as a look of pain flashed on his face.
 
   I smiled, knowing I struck a nerve. “You can let go of Stephanie 'cause you are Jack but I can’t let go of William. I am not a loser like you!,” I shouted back at him.
 
  He looked at me with this stupid heartbroken look. I don’t care if he is hurt or not. All I want is for him to let go of my luggage and let me f*cking be!
 
  “Sienna, I care about you a lot. That is why I am doing all this. Don’t hurt yourself, baby sister. No one else will get hurt in this except you. What would happen if you miss on the chance with your fated mate 'cause you were too busy chasing after someone who was never meant to be yours in the first place?” he asked.
 
  I fell silent after hearing his question. I honestly don’t know but what I know now is that I love William so damn much to just let him go like that.
 
  “Brother, you already left Stephanie for Todd so why hasn’t your own fated mate come to you yet?” I asked him and he appeared speechless.
 
  I smirked and then pulled my luggage away from him when he was momentarily distracted by my question.
 
  I turned around to leave when I heard him say, “I didn’t leave Stephanie… Sienna, she rejected me.” I was stunned and immediately turned back to him. He suddenly looked so exhausted and frail as he sighed.
 
  I gasped. What is he saying!? I have always thought he chickened out and left Stephanie for her fated mate, Todd. I walked back to him slowly and looked up at him before asking, “Brother, what are you saying?”
 
 
*** Alpha Jackson P.O.V ***
 
 
  “You really are great Alan. I gave you just eight hours and you actually got it done within five hours,” I said as I looked at Alan. He looks exhausted and just forced himself to nod.
 
  “Now, I have a job for you. You mustn’t fail me. I won’t give you a time limit for this but once you fail, your reward is ultimate death,” I said slowly, emphasizing each word.
 
  He looked at me terrified. The sleep in his eyes dissipated immediately. He looked at me attentively. “Sir, what is it?,” he asked me and gulped, looking afraid of what I am about to say.
 
  I smiled and replied, “It’s nothing much. I just need you to do this one thing for me. Once you are done and you accomplished the mission successfully, I will reward you beyond your greatest imagination”
 
He gulped again and nodded that was when I said, “Capture Smith Bridget for me”
