BOUGHT BY THE RUTHLESS ALPHA novel Chapter 62

Smith Bridget P.O.V

I wanted to talk but the words just got stuck in my throat. I don’t know how it will sound. How do I tell him that his Luna is actually scared of little things like thunder and lightning too?
 
  “It’s nothing,” I answered. My voice comes out a little bit quieter than I wanted it to be so he won’t easily notice that something is amiss.
 
   He narrowed his eyes at me and tried to ask me again, “Are you sure you are okay? What is going on Bridget? You looked petrified when I came in. We’re you scared of something? Did any rat escape into this room?”
 
  I forced a smile and told him, “Stop panicking so much. I am fine.” He smiled and finally put the tray I never noticed he brought in. He placed it on the bed and the delicious aroma of hot pancakes wafted into my nose.
 
   My nose perked up as I stared at the pancakes happily. Nothing is better than having one of my favourite foods after narrowly escaping from a near heart attack.
 
   I immediately began to eat it hungrily after he poured the syrup all over the pancakes. I moaned in delight and was a little bit stunned when I saw William looking at me with that familiar desire in his eyes.
   He is staring at me like he wants to devour me and I involuntarily gulped. I also noticed a little bit of sadness in his eyes like a hint of regret. That was when I noticed how he was dressed.
   My eyes squinted at him as I asked him quietly, “William, why are you all dressed up? Are you going somewhere?” He sighed and scratched his head a little suddenly unable to look at me.
 
  “Actually, that is why I have come. I am indeed going somewhere,” he answered quietly. The fast pace at which I was eating before slowed down and the pancakes suddenly doesn’t taste so delicious anymore.
 
  “When?,” my voice sounded like a squeaking mouse but I don’t care right now. I know he has obligations. He has a pack to run so I wasn’t expecting him to spend his time with me every time. I just never assumed this would come quicker than I expected.
 
  I know fact that I already miss him so much and he hasn’t even left yet. What is wrong with you Smith Bridget?
 
   “Now,” his answer was surprising and it made me shriek loudly. I looked out of the window. It is still raining heavily and the sky is still dark indicating that this rain isn’t going to stop anytime soon so how can he say he wants to go somewhere in this weather?
 
  “What!? Can’t you see how dark it is? How are you going to reach where ever you are going in this horrible weather condition!? Please just wait till the rain stop,” I pleaded a little having completely lost my appetite.
 
  “The rain can go on forever but this matter can’t wait. Liam and the rest are already waiting for me,” he replied with a deadpan expression. I immediately knew there is no talking him out of this.
 
   He won’t change his decision since he has already even made up his mind before coming to me.
 
   “When are you going to be back then?” I asked him and he held my hands, planting soft kisses on them.
 
   “I don’t know. It may take days or months but I will try to be back as soon as I can,” his answer is the worst thing I could have expected when I woke up aside from that thunder.
 
   I didn’t know what to say and just stared at him for minutes that seemed like hours. He finally stood up and kissed my forehead gently. I tried to keep my tears at bay.
 
  He waved at me and I waved back weakly. Just before he stepped out, he mouthed,’ I'll miss you to me. As soon as the door closed, I burst into tears.
 
   I looked down and felt like throwing this tray with plates filled with pancakes far away from me. Not quite long, the door opened and I wiped my tears looking up hoping that it was him and he changed his decision.
 
  Instead, Daniella was standing at the door with a sad smile on her face. When she saw that my eyes were red indicating that I had cried, she rushed to me and got into bed with me.
 
   She hugged me and the tears that were beginning to stop rushed out again. “Bridget, he will come back. He won’t be gone forever. Please stop crying,” she consoled me but I didn’t stop crying until I eventually slept off in her arms.
 
 
*** Alan’s P.O.V  ***
 
  I was grunting heavily when I finally got to the back of the mansion safely. William must really love his Luna that he went extreme miles I’m getting tight security around her.
 
   My body already stinks of blood and I know it’s just a matter of time before someone discovers the long trail of dead bodyguards I left behind. Some were actually easier to kill considering they were humans even if they were twice my size.
 
I would have gotten here a little if I hadn’t been dealing with wolves. They weren’t exactly easy to kill but I still defeated them. I looked at the high window and wondered which floor it is.
 
   I know this house only has two floors so why is the window so high up? How do I climb in stealthily? I can’t even go and see Jace cause I know the guards at the prison will be even worse than the ones here.
 
   I began to think about how I was supposed to get up there when I suddenly caught the whiff of the scent of a wolf. I quickly ducked and rolled into the nearby bush.
   As I rolled, the wet soil was staining me but I don’t mind as long as it covers up the stench of the blood and stops them from discovering there is an intruder in this house.
