BOUGHT BY THE RUTHLESS ALPHA novel Chapter 99

  William was confused. What was Liam saying? He walked to the bathroom. He still feels disgusted with how sweaty his body is. He should have just taken his bath after that exercise earlier.
 
  As he switched on the shower and began to bathe, he mind-linked Liam and asked,' What's wrong? I don't get what you were trying to tell me. Can you explain?'
 
  He could even feel Liam's uneasiness through the mind-link, ‘Alpha, I can't explain it through the mind-link. Please, come to the study room. Everyone is waiting for you and don't waste any time. This is about the future of our pack.'
 
  He was even more confused by the reply but he hurriedly took his bath and left the bathroom. When he walked back to the room in just a towel, Bridget was awake.
 
  She sat up when she saw him and she didn't even notice that the duvet had already slid down her body. William stared at her boobs shamelessly and smirked.
 
  “Nice view,” He commented and she glared at him before quickly covering herself with the duvet. He laughed softly and walked to the walk-in closet. A few minutes later, he walked out fully dressed.
 
  Bridget was still in the same position, feeling too lazy to move. But she asked him, “Where are you going?” He walked closer to the bed and kissed her forehead.
 
  “I am going to the study room. We have an impromptu meeting. Go and take a quick shower, then come downstairs. Daniella and others might be waiting for you,” William told her and she nodded.
 
  When he walked out, she also stood up and walked to the bathroom.
 
 
**** ****
 
   As soon as William walked into the study room and met everyone present, he was convinced that something is wrong.
 
  He sat down opposite the twins and stared at them. Feeling impatient, he asked, “What is wrong? Liam, what were you talking about?”
 
  “Alpha, your uncles...,” he trailed off. I arched an eyebrow when I heard him. My uncles? What did they do?
 
  “William, they want to start a war. They already challenged you. They sent a message,” Alpha Walter spoke since Liam was speaking too slowly.
 
  William was stunned. Not that he didn't expect this. He already expected this but he didn't know it would be so soon. He collected the phone Alan stretched to him and checked the message on it.
 
  “They even gave us a countdown,” William said with a bitter smile.
 
  “Yes, they said they would start the war without your presence if you don't come back to your pack within the period of time they gave you,” Jake answered.
 
  “Seem like they are still willing to give you a chance like a treaty,” Alpha Walter answered.
 
  “I don't want a treaty with those disgusting and confused-minded human beings. Since they want a war, I will give them one,” William uttered with an angry look. These people are supposed to be his family, to love and support him always but instead, they are fighting against him.
 
  Alpha Walter smiled and cautioned him,“ Two wrongs can't make a right. That's not how you deal with this type of situation. At least, you should try to come to an agreement with them.”
 
  William sighed and answered, “I know that these people are set on starting a war. I also the effects of war on our packs. Dad all I want you to do now is to please call the packs that will be willing to help me in case a war really occurs.”
 
  Alpha Walter nodded and walked away with his phone. “I will inform the ladies,” Jace informed them.
 
  Before he could walk away, Jake suggested, “Alpha, why don't we leave them here instead? Just in case a war really occurs.”
 
  William shook his head sideways and told him, “I can't leave my Bridget behind. I left her behind once and almost lost her. If war really occurs, I have a backup plan for that. All the females in our pack will be taken out of the war zone safely.”
 
  Jake still looked unconvinced. “Well, if anyone of you is interested in leaving your mate behind, you can do so,” William told them but of course, no one wants to leave their mate behind.
 
  Jace immediately left to break the news to the ladies.
 
 
 *** Sienna P.O.V ***
 
  I tried to smile as I stared at Aunty. She was showing us an old funny dance of hers. But I just couldn't concentrate. I kept glancing at the doorway, hoping one of the twins would suddenly appear.
 
  Why did they rush out of the room earlier as if something was wrong? “Sienna,” Bridget's voice snapped me back to reality and I forced a smile as I looked at her.
 
  “What is wrong?,” She asked me with a worried look and I was suddenly aware of the fact that I haven't apologized to her personally. I apologized to William when she was unconscious. She deserves an apology too.
 
  “Nothing,” I gave a curt reply.
 
   “Are you sure it's nothing 'cause mom has been calling your name for a while now?” She said and I looked at aunty in confusion.
 
  She smiled and told me, “You have been watching me dance much longer than Bridget and Daniella so you should at least have an inkling of how to do the dance. Come and dance for us.”
 
  Daniella and Bridget even cheered loudly as they urged me on. I laughed nervously. Dance!? If there's anything I am bad at in this world, it's dancing.
 
  “No aunty... I don't want to dance. I just want to enjoy your dance,” I immediately tried to evade her request but she wouldn't have it. She came to me and pulled me to the centre of the room.
 
  They cheered and watched me, expecting me to actually dance. As if on cue, my phone rang loudly. I was so relieved. I hurriedly excused myself from the room without even looking at the caller ID.
 
  I know if I had checked it, I would have preferred to do an awkward dance instead of answering the call.
