BOUGHT BY THE RUTHLESS ALPHA

Chapter 36

*** William P.O.V *** I can’t remember how long we have been sleeping but when I woke up again, it was already late. I figured out we missed dinner cause the moonlight was streaming into our room. I tried to sit up but then something or rather someone held me back. It’s Bridget. She is still snoring away and sleeping like a log of wood. I chuckled. For how long does she want to continue sleeping? Well her snores sound cute though. I tried to release her hands from my body but she ended up hugging me tightly even more than before that I could practically be choking if she exerted strength. I chuckled. Why is she hanging unto me like a koala? “Bridget,” I called out softly but no response. I called her name again and pat her softly this time. I only received a growl. A low growl. I was surprised at first when I heard it. Is that her wolf? I pay her again. This time harder. Yeah! I know it’s a little bit cruel but I’m just fascinated by her growl. I heard it that time when I was with Sienna in the room. But it wasn’t loud enough and I still heard it. It was the most beautiful sound I have ever heard. Yet again when I pat her, she released that cute low growl. “Bridget, I hate to disturb your beauty sleep but wake up and let’s get something to fill our empty bellies.” I don’t know why I just get hungry easily. “Leave me alone,” she mumbled lowly. Aww! I was expecting another cute growl. I can’t wait for the day I can finally meet her wolf.

“Stand up and let’s eat something. So you won’t wake up in the middle of the night like last night,” I told her. She turned away from me with a frown on her face which shows how displeased she is by my disturbance. I whined. I miss her warmth in my arms. I stood up and walked to the other side of the bed that she rolled to. I held her hand and pulled her up gently. Even though I pulled her up gently, she still grumbled in anger and finally opened her eyes to glare at me. “What’s wrong? Why won’t you let me sleep?” she said, her voice sounding a little different than before. It sounded thicker and deeper than before. I looked at her confused as to why her voice sounded different and then I gasped. Wow! Her eyes… Her eyes changed. It’s… It’s crimson-coloured eyes now. So, so beautiful. Is this her wolf? Now I’m getting pretty excited and intrigued to meet her wolf. That wolf must be a pretty little thing. “Bridget… Your eyes… The colours changed,” I stuttered a little still feeling stunned. She glared at me unconcerned at what I just said. Her eyes were spitting out anger and they flashed brightly. The moonlight suddenly fell upon the same spot where she was sitting and I think I stopped breathing. My breath ceased. How can someone look so beautiful, haughty, pitiful and attractive at the same time? My heart suddenly got swollen with so much pride. This beautiful she-wolf in front of me is all mine. She is mine alone. “Why won’t you let me sleep? Let go of my hands,” she ordered. I could hear the power and authority in her voice. I nodded and as if I was in a trance, I almost let go of her hands but then I remembered why I

woke her up in the first place. My senses snapped back and I bent down to carry her. Since she won’t stand, I will just carry her instead. She didn’t even struggle or say a word. As I carried her out, she sighed and snuggled closer then she closed her eyes. Wait! Is she going back to sleep? What the fuck!? So she is not only a foodie but also a sleep lover. When I walked into the kitchen, I wasn’t surprised to meet Todd and Stephanie in the kitchen, unlike last night. I chuckled when I saw the way Todd was looking at Stephanie. The poor guy looked tired or shall I say exhausted. I paused when I heard him ask Stephanie, “How many more months before my pup pops out? It’s four months left right?” I was speechless. Doesn’t he know that pregnancy takes at least nine months as I have heard? Of course, sassy Stephanie replied to him, “Dummy, I am not a rabbit shifter. Only rabbit shifters give birth after five months. I am a wolf so I guess it’s eight or seven months left.” He gasped in fright and mumbled quietly, “I am afraid I might die before that time.” Stephanie heard him and shot him a hard glare. Wolves and our sensitive ears. “I am now thinking that perhaps the moon goddess should have paired me with James instead. Even if he is the son of a gamma, he is still more caring than an alpha. Everyone even said we are compatible,” Stephanie said and I chuckled once again as Todd’s facial expression darkened in anger. All of us know the unfinished love story between Stephanie and James, Sienna’s brother. They almost started dating when Stephanie luckily found Todd. We all know how heartbroken poor JamesProperty of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

was when he found out. He had always believed that no matter what since he and Stephanie grew up together, have a lot of things in common and were close than most mates, he always believed they were destined, mates. Yeah! It was a huge hit on him when Todd and Stephanie turned out to be mates. But nevertheless, even if Stephanie is now with Todd, she has never left or forgotten her bestie. So Todd is threatened by James's existence in her life cause of their past history. “What… What do you mean babe? You know I was only joking,” he quickly told her, looking like he was about to cry. I suddenly looked down at Bridget who is sleeping peacefully in my arms. What if there was a man in her life? My wolf boiled with anger at that thought. I will probably tear him apart. . . . …….
