BOUGHT BY THE RUTHLESS ALPHA novel Chapter 72

 
*** William P.O.V ***
 
I rubbed my face as I watched the two in front of me. What the heck is Daniella doing? He is the only one that can cure Bridget and she wants to choke him to death.
 
Yeah, I get it. She doesn’t know about him being a shaman, only the part about him sneaking into the room to abduct Bridget.
 
I immediately stepped forward and tried to separate them. “Stop this Daniella… You are going to choke him to death,” I said a little bit harshly.
 
“That is exactly what I am planning to do!” She shouted back. “If you kill him… Forget about Bridget!,” I snapped and she froze. That statement struck a nerve.
 
She immediately released him and the weakling fell to the ground choking like crazy. I rolled my eyes at his pathetic state. He couldn’t even release himself from a woman's tight grasp.
 
“What do you mean? What has he got to do with Bridget? He is the one that abducted her, William. You can’t let him get away with it scot-free,” She told me and I nodded, “Yes, I know but Daniella, he is a shaman. He can heal Bridget faster than an ordinary wolf doctor can.”
 
Daniella’s eyes widened like a saucer and almost bulged out of their socket. She couldn’t even say anything. She looked at Alan stunned still not knowing what to say I guess.
 
Finally, she pointed at him and said in a quiet tone, “This rogue is a shaman.”
 
“I am… ~coughs~… not a rogue,” Alan choked out. Daniella was stunned the more. I looked at Alan and sniffed the air. He smells just like a rogue so why does he keep on insisting that he is not a rogue?
 
Nevertheless, there are more important matters to deal with. He's not being a rogue and can wait till later.
 
“What herbs do you need? Can you list them?” I asked him and he nodded. Then he began to list all the herbs he needs. I took note of everything without even needing to pen it down.
 
When he finished, I was bemused. All the herbs he listed are extremely rare so that makes them expensive. Not like I can’t afford it.
 
I looked at Bridget. She isn’t bleeding anymore but she is releasing sounds of pain indicating that she is in a lot of pain. I turned around to leave immediately when Alan stopped me.
 
“What!?,” I asked him with a puzzled look. He looked at Daniella fearfully and gulped. “Can I come along with you instead? I can help you choose the right herbs in case someone wants to sell the fake ones to you,” he lied with a sheepish look.
 
I felt the sudden urge to laugh at his embarrassed expression as he looked down but as soon as that urge came into my head, o shook it away and looked at him coldly.
 
“Are you scared of Daniella?” I asked, struggling to keep up with the serious expression on my face but it was getting hard with the way his face turned instantly red and he looked down sheepishly like he has just been caught stealing something.
 
How can a guy behave so much like a girl? He nodded and whispered to me, “She is crazy. I don’t want to stay with this crazy woman.” I looked at Daniella and seriously almost laughed.
 
Of course, she heard him all thanks to wolfie ears. She glared at him and told him, “I heard that. Don’t worry… I won’t trouble you much when William is gone. He might just come back and meet your corpse.”
 
Alan shuddered with fear and quickly went to where I was standing. He looked up at me with this adorable pleading expression that really showed me how young he is. What was he doing with Jackson by the way?
 
“Please, let me tag along. I won’t make a sound. You will even forget that you took me with you,” He pleaded with eyes that showed hidden tears in them.
 
I nodded to indicate ‘Yes’ and he leapt for joy. Daniella groaned loudly obviously not pleased with my decision but I really don’t care. I am just concerned about Bridget.
   A few hours later, when we walked inside with Alan trailing behind me. He was obviously struggling to keep up with my fast pace and handle all the heavy amount of herbs in his hands.
 
I don’t have any problem though cause I have a great stature than him. But as soon as I walked in, I stopped at the doorway, making Alan crash into my back.
 
The herbs in his hands almost crashed to the ground but luckily he was able to steady his balance on time. He groaned about having a broken nose but I was too focused on the person in front of me.
 
My face twisted to reveal a scowl and I asked, “What are you doing here!?” “I have been waiting for you,” Sienna replied with a smile.
 
Liam, Jake and Daniella were in the sitting room. Daniella had an awkward look on her face. Does she know about this? Why didn’t she tell me earlier? Bridget won’t be pleased about this.
 
Oh yes! Thinking about Bridget made me remember what we were gonna do in the first place. I turned around to talk to Alan but paused my words when I saw the awestruck look on his face.
 
He was staring at Sienna with his mouth slightly open. His eyes shone dreamily like the stars. I arched an eyebrow at this scene. Huh! What’s going on?
 
“Alan… Why are you staring at her that way? Shouldn’t we be treating Bridget?”
 
My questions made him come back to his senses. He nodded and quickly regained his composure. Then he walked past Sienna, heading upstairs.
 
Is it my eyes or was he trembling when he walked past her? Something is surely suspicious and I don’t really have time to indulge in that right now.
I carried the herbs properly and followed him, practically ignoring Sienna.
