BOUGHT BY THE RUTHLESS ALPHA novel Chapter 77

 
*** Alan P.O.V ***
 
  My senses perked up and I was convinced someone is in the room. I was just about to stand up when someone suddenly covered my mouth. “Sssh,” she said. I already knew she was a female from the scent. So the flower scent is coming from her.
 
  I opened my eyes and my eyes widened when I saw the person in front of me. She looked around and told me again, “Ssh… Don’t make noise. Someone might still be nearby. I had great difficulty getting this hidden basement I never knew William had.”
 
  I chuckled inwardly. Why does she think I will scream? I am not a girl that screams anytime she is startled. What is she even doing here?
 
  I pried the hand covering my mouth gently and she looked at me. She shivered visibly. She can feel that spark too. It's one of the things that gave off the vibes that she’s my mate. But why?
 
  Why did she come at the wrong time? I have so many problems at hand and the last thing  I need now is a mate. That just seems like a distraction. But I couldn’t help but get entranced as I stared at her.
 
  She is so beautiful. As I was observing her physical features, I suddenly noticed that she is a redhead. A redhead!? Her wolf is very rare and powerful according to what I have learned.
 
  Did the moon goddess perhaps make a mistake? I don’t deserve her not now that everyone thinks I am a rogue. Should I neutralize the spell I cast so I can have the original wolf scent I was born with?
 
  Just then, my eyes flashed. Someone is coming in this direction. I can feel it. Hell! Even if the footsteps are far away, I can hear them.
 
  She trembled and displayed a look that showed that she can also feel or sense that someone is nearby. The footsteps are getting closer and she panicked.
 
  “Hey, calm down okay? Don’t panic. What were you even doing here in the first place? You should already know by now that you shouldn’t be seen with me,” I said. I think my voice came out a little bit too harsh cause tears immediately pooled in her eyes.
 
  I sighed and held her hands. “Don’t worry. Just find a place to hide. Once whoever is coming leave, please leave. I don’t want to cause any more trouble,” I told her.
 
  “They will perceive my scent,” She answered and I shook my head sideways to indicate ‘No’. Not while I’m here.
 
  “No… They won’t perceive your scent. Just go and hide,” I said and she immediately stood up. She was hiding behind the huge wardrobe just in time cause Jake walked in right then.
 
  I was a little bit stunned. He just left here so why has he come back again? He walked in and looked at me suspiciously. Then he looked around the room suspiciously, sniffing the air slightly.
 
  I immediately intensified the scent of my rogue stench as they called it and he covered his nose just as I expected.
 
  “Why do you guys always stink so badly? Don’t you ever take your bath?” He asked as his face scrunched up into a disgusted look. I don’t really care. In fact, it’s fun to watch him react this way. As long as he can’t smell her anymore.
 
  “Why are you here?” I asked him instead, ignoring his questions. He looked like he was having difficulty breathing. Why won’t he when he’s holding up his nose, the place that oxygen is supposed to pass through?
 
  He turned around to leave and said, “Follow me. Alpha wants to see you immediately. It’s urgent that’s why I have come here.”
 
  Immediately after he said that he quickly walked out. I followed him and stopped just at the doorway. I turned around and looked back. I know she can see me. I can feel her watching me but I can’t see her.
 
  “Will you hurry up!? You don’t want to witness Alpha’s wrath, do you?” Jake called out. That was when I finally stepped out and followed him.
 
  As we went further and far away from the door, I couldn’t hope but wish she would have left before I come back there. One part of me is hoping she would listen to me and leave while the other is just silently hoping she doesn’t listen to me.
 
  Hmm… Is she the sassy type that doesn’t listen to instructions and defies what other people say or she is more of the demure type?
 
  My thoughts were wiped off when I got to Alpha’s room and we walked in. I was stunned at the situation in the room that I couldn’t even think of something else right now.
 
 
*** Sienna P.O.V ***
 
   I waited behind the wardrobe for a few minutes. Why did his scent suddenly grow strong like that, feeling every part of the room? It was so strong that it almost made me dizzy.
 
  Apart from that, I looked down at the shirt I was wearing. The hard nubs of my nipples were already peeking out through the shirt. I want him like no other.
 
  My body is on fire. Was he planning to kill me with that addictive scent of his? I waited a few more minutes behind the wardrobe until I was convinced enough to come out of my hiding spot.
 
  As I stepped out, I looked around the room that was supposed to be a basement. This doesn’t look at all like the basement I have seen. Basements are always creepy and dark.
 
  Though this one is dark too I can see a light switch on the wall. I immediately switched on the light and the light illuminated the beauty of the room.
 
  Wow… I couldn’t stop the gasp that escaped my mouth. This room is like a secret getaway haven. Seems like someone converted the basement into a room for escaping from the stress of life.
 At least that is what I think. As I looked around the room, I thought of his words.
