BOUGHT BY THE RUTHLESS ALPHA novel Chapter 78

 
*** Sienna P.O.V ***
 
  I thought of what he told me before leaving. I haven’t even gotten the chance to accomplish the goal I had in mind so I can not just leave as he asked me to. I want to know why I feel this way towards him.
 
  Why did he call me to mate back there? Why is everyone saying he smells like a rogue when all I can perceive from his body is that refreshing scent of the forest?
 
  If he is indeed a rogue, how come he is mated to me? I sat down on the bed and stared into space. I am beginning to feel hungry but I don’t want to leave. If I leave now, I don’t know when I will get an opportunity to come here and talk to him again.
 
  I didn’t know when I fell asleep on the bed.
 
  William was shaking terribly. His eyes already turned red from the way he was trying so hard to hold back his tears. He was trying not to cry like he wants to. Why is she doing things that are scaring him like this?
 
  “What’s wrong?” William looked up when he heard Alan’s question. He doesn’t think he has ever felt as relieved in his entire life as much as he is feeling right now when he saw Alan.
 
  He immediately stood up and walked to Alan. Then he pulled the latter towards the bed where Bridget was laying.
 
  Alan looked at William a little bit worriedly cause he can feel him trembling just like that lady was doing earlier in the basement.
 
  “What is wrong with her? Why is she shivering like this? Why is her body so cold like she has just escaped from a refrigerator?” William asked and Alan heaved a sigh of relief.
 
  He actually thought something bad had happened to Luna. He was honestly worried cause if anything happens to her, he will get blamed for it.
 
  “Don’t panic alpha. She’s fine,” He answered but William didn’t take his answer lightly cause he flew into a rage and shouted, “What do you mean she’s fine!? Are you fucking blind!? My Luna is on the bed suffering, shivering and having a low temperature yet you tell me she’s fine!? This is all your fault, Alan!”
 
  Alan was rendered speechless when he heard the last words. It’s true. It’s all his fault. That is why he is trying to make things right now. It’s all his fault that he was so young back then that he could only watch silently as Alpha Jackson killed his father.
 
   It’s all his fault that he couldn’t do anything but watch his mother raped and molested to death. It’s all his fault that Alpha Jackson killed his baby sister with a silver blade just like the one he wanted to use on the Luna.
 
  It’s his fault that Jace almost got taken away from him forever yet he could only run back to seek help from that one man he loathes so much in this world. He didn’t try to resist following Alpha Jackson’s orders and successfully brought Bridget to him.
 
  Everything has been his fault. Always his fault. He ended up destroying someone else’s happiness cause he didn’t want to lose his only family. What did that get him in return?
 
  He felt like laughing at his stupidity. His brother has still locked far away in that unknown prison. Alpha Jackson is eight feet deep in the ground. The Luna is fighting between life and death… all because of him.
 
  He looked at William when he sniffled. He couldn’t help but think,’ What kind of person have I become?’
 
  He went to the potion he created earlier and soon formed a paste from the remaining items. Then he walked to the bed and began to feed it to Luna slowly until she visibly stopped trembling.
 
  Even if her complexion was still pale, she wasn’t as cold as before and William rubbed his face, looking very relieved. He lowered his head and kissed Bridget gently on the forehead.
 
  Alan dumped the remaining paste since it was practically useless. Then he turned to William and asked the wolf that was preoccupied with caressing his mate, “Alpha…. Can I leave now?”
 
  William gave him a slow nod but didn’t say a word. Alan smiled bitterly and left. When he got into the room, he was speechless when he saw that dainty figure all coiled up on the bed.
 
  She didn’t leave? Why? He clearly asked her to leave. Why didn’t she leave? He walked towards her slowly. She was coiling up on the bed like a cat, deeply asleep.
 
  He sat down beside her and reached out to caress her hair lightly. Her red hair which looked stubborn and untamed from afar was actually soft to the touch.
 
  She moaned softly as he caressed her hair. The sound went straight to his groin. He stood up and ruffled his hair. With her presence here, everything is all messed up.
 
  How can he take care of his mate when he is in deep trouble? He just sat down on the bed and glanced at the ticking clock, waiting for her to wake up so they can figure out a way to sort this out.
 
  No matter what he has to find a way to tell her why she shouldn’t associate with him.
 
  William sighed when he touched her forehead again and her temperature was at the normal rate it is supposed to be. He wiped off the sweat from his brow and headed to the bathroom.
 
  He spent only a few minutes in there cause his mind was unrest at the thought of leaving her all alone in the room. Just as he walked out of the bathroom in sweatpants, Daniella came in with a bowl that had steam on it.
 
  “I heard what happened from Jake. I just couldn’t hold myself back anymore from preparing the soup. I’ll advise you to wait till it’s cool enough for you to serve her,” Daniella said as she dropped the tray in her hands on top of the bedside drawer.
 
William nodded and looked at her gratefully.
