BOUGHT BY THE RUTHLESS ALPHA novel Chapter 79

  
 William P.O.V

I made Bridget sit up on the bed gently, using pillows to guide her back. Then I carried the tray that contained the bowl of soup and looked at her. Her eyes were tightly closed like she was deeply asleep.
 
  I sighed. I am the only one that knows that she isn’t asleep… I carried a spoonful of soup upward and blew air on it for a while. I don’t want it to be hot so it won’t hurt her. I know she won’t feel much pain but I don’t want her to feel any pain at all.
 
   The one she’s suffering is already enough. Once I was sure that the soup is warm enough, I fed it to her slowly. I pushed the spoon into her mouth and the soup actually went in even if some still spilt out.
 
   I was relieved that she was at least eating something. That was how I did it until the bowl was almost empty. That was when she started spitting it out. I know it’s a sign that she doesn’t want it anymore.
 
  I couldn’t help but feel amused. I leaned forward and used my tongue to lick off the remaining soup that was in her mouth. When I finished, I removed the pillows behind her and tucked her back in bed.
 
  When she was fully settled in bed, I carried the bowl and walked out with it. When I got to the kitchen, Daniella was washing the dirty dishes.
 
   I sighed and walked to her while saying, “Ella, I always tell you to leave this to the maids. I don’t get why you still insist on doing this stuff when we have lots of maids.”
 
  She smiled and collected the bowl from my hand. She washed that too and turned to face me. “I do this because I love doing it not because I am supposed to do it. The maids already have a lot of work to do around the house so it won’t hurt to just free them from these little chores.”
 
  I nodded and washed my hands. I turned to her and still tried to tell her what I really think.
 
  “That’s why we have them. I got to do many maids so they assist us with this household chores and other stuff. So I still…,” I was interrupted by the loud slam of the door indicating that someone came in.
 
  Daniella washed her hands and walked out. I followed her and was stunned to see her father looking a little bit worried.
 
  “Dad!,” I called out. It’s already so late at night. What is he doing here? “Dad, what are you doing here so late?”
 
  He walked to me and answered, “William, I was really restless. Your mom is so worried that she couldn’t even sit still. I already told you she wanted to come to see you. You still haven’t told her that you have found your mate yet and the news she heard almost killed her.”
 
 
 **** Author's P.O.V ****
 
  William was confused. Which news almost killed his mom? Is it the one about him finding his mate or which one?
 
  “Did you really kill that lad, Jackson?” His father asked with a worried sick look on his face. He spoke as if he still can’t believe what he, himself is saying.
 
  William nodded and said, “Yes,” confirming all his fears. He sighed as he stared at the shocked look on his father’s face. He should have known that the news would have reached his father by now but he is surprised that he actually came over this night.
 
  The old alpha gasped for breath and looked like he wanted to pull his hair. He asked his son, “Do you know what you have done!? Why the hell will you kill your cousin? You have just invoked a war. I wanted you to have a peaceful reign but who knows now.”
 
  He was practically panicking as he went on rambling about the consequences of his actions to William. William sighed and walked closer to him.
 
  “Dad… Calm down. Just calm down. I don’t care if any war starts. I am just happy that I was able to send that fucking bastard to where he belongs,” William told him and the old alpha gasped.
 
  What is this son of his saying? He clearly doesn’t know the repercussion of what he has done. Relatives are supposed to stand by you and help you in different wars or battles to ensure your victory.
 
   But when all your relatives are against you, just imagine the calamity.
 
   “Even if you had beef with Jackson before, you shouldn’t have resulted in killing him,” Alpha Walter tried to explain to his son.
 
  William felt frustrated so he just shouted, “Father! Do you know what he has done to me!? Do you know what state my Bridget is in now all because of the motherfucker!?”
 
  Alpha Walter immediately became calm as he stared at his son with a confused look. Okay… What’s going on now? They were talking about Jackson. How did the matter divert from Jackson to Bridget?
 
  Alpha Walter looked at Daniella who hadn’t spoken a word since he came in. She was just staring at the two of them. He arched an eyebrow at her with a look that says,’ What is going on?’
 
  William held his hand and pulled him upstairs. He opened the door and walked in. His father and Daniella followed behind him. When Alpha Walter got to the bed and saw the state Bridget is in with lots of injuries still visible on her body, he was stunned again.
 
  “What happened to my daughter-in-law?” Alpha Walter asked as he looked at his son with a stony look. William sighed and answered, “Father, that bastard did this to her. I actually thought it was Alpha Hunter that sent the rogues but it was Jackson all along. He tried to abduct my mate and eventually succeeded. He tortured her in many unimaginable ways.”
 
  Alpha Walter was speechless. What???
