BOUGHT BY THE RUTHLESS ALPHA novel Chapter 70

*** Alpha Jackson P.O.V ***
 
His eyes darkened even more with anger when he saw the fresh blood dripping from the tip of the blade. Seems like he figured out it’s his beloved fresh blood.
 
I gave him a smile and he rushed at me. The silence in the room was wiped out by the crashing sounds of the sword and the blade.
 
I was finding it difficult to keep up with his speed. Moreover, he was holding a sword and I am using a small blade. I knew I am at a disadvantage here and I had to think fast.
 
William looked so angry as he struggled to at least get an opening and strike the monster in front of him. Yes! This man… That is supposed to be his cousin is a beast. How could he make someone bloodied like this?
 
How could he have tortured his cousin’s mate? Alpha Jackson stumbled and almost fell. Taking this distraction, William hastily sliced his left hand with his word.
 
Alpha Jackson groaned in pain as the sword pierced into his skin. Yeah… Let him also feel the pain he has caused Smith Bridget.
 
Alpha Jackson’s right hand was beginning to tremble as he struggled to avoid William's hit and also struggled with immense pain from having one of his hands almost cut off.
 
He was enraged with the way William kept on striking yet he couldn’t even get a chance to strike back so he decided to distract him with words.
 
“William, you shouldn’t be fighting family because of this outcast,” Alpha Jackson said and William’srage intensified. After inflicting so much pain and injuries on his mate's body, he still has the guts to talk.
 
“Who are you to tell me that huh? Do you still have a conscience!? You have been treating her like an animal all these years. I was able to find her but yet you still managed to steal her right under my nose. How dare you treat my mate this way!? I told you the next time you come to my pack, I am going to get you killed then,” William answered ferociously.
 
Alpha Jackson smiled and answered, “Technically, I didn’t come to your pack. I only sent a good servant of mine. William, you are a worthless mate. You couldn’t even protect your mate.”
 
“Aargh!!!!,” William has finally had enough. He rushed to Jackson, taking the latter by surprise and plunged the sword deep into his stomach. So deep that the tip came out from his back.
 
Alpha Jackson was stunned. He never really expected that William would really kill him all because of a woman. What happened to their unbreakable family ties?
 
Aren’t families supposed to stick with each other? What he doesn’t understand or is just pretending not to understand is that since Bridget is mated to William, he will surely fight for her.
 
The family are supposed to stand for each other and that is exactly what he did. William watched Jackson bleed and finally fall dead before him. He didn’t even show any remorseful look as he looked at the dead body of his cousin.
 
He got what he deserves. “Alpha, death is too easy. We should have captured him alive and tortured him till he wished for death,” Jake said as William walked to Bridget.
 
Liam rolled his eyes at Jake. What was he doing when William was fighting? Does he think he can actually capture Alpha Jackson alive?
 
William didn’t say anything. He just went to Bridget and shook with even more anger when he saw her body. He carried her not caring if the blood stained his cloth. She moaned in pain.
 
He turned to them and said, “Send Jackson’s corpse back to his family. Since he doesn’t have a son, share the news about this pack and the nearby packs. I am going to merge my pack with his as per tradition.”
 
Jake and Liam nodded as he walked out. They immediately swung into action. As William walked outside to his car, he could feel someone following behind him.
 
He stopped just in front of the door and turned around but no one was there. He smirked. He can smell the scent of the unfamiliar wolf so he knows someone was following him.
 
“Come out. You know I can smell you. Don’t bother to hide,” William said in a low voice as he cradled Bridget in his hands like a baby. He sighed and wished that Jackson would just wake up so he can kill him all over again.
 
A young man slowly came out from behind a nearby pillar. William's eyes widened when he recognized the scent of the rogue. His eyes were filled with anger once more.
 
“It was you, bastard! You brought her here. You disgusting rogue!” William couldn’t help himself from lashing out. He was torn between dropping Bridget and rushing to the rogue to kill him but he really didn’t want to drop Bridget.
 
Not when she is in tattered cloth and all bloodied like this. The man acted fidgety in front of him and said, “I am not rogue.”
 
“I can smell you. I swear I am going to kill you any chance I get,” William threatened. Alan finally looked up and said, ”I am sorry.”
 
William was about to say something when he cut in and continued, “I know you probably won’t believe but I really didn’t want to do this. That’s why I dropped that note.”
 
William’seyes widened with the realization this time. Did he drop the note? Why? Didn’t he come there to abduct Bridget? Why did he drop a note that led them to the mastermind behind all this?
 
“You are a wolf right?” William asked and Alan nodded, wondering why he is asking such an obvious question.
 
“Since you are wolf…. Why do you also possess magic?” William asked a little bit confused. Bridget suddenly cried and the two men looked at her. Tears were spilling out of her eyes but she didn’t open her eyes.
 
“It hurts,” She murmured. William immediately turned around, ignoring Alan. He has to get her immediate health care.
