BOUGHT BY THE RUTHLESS ALPHA

Chapter 56

William P.O.V

I laid Bridget on the bed and sat down to watch her. My heart really aches with the way they have turned her to be. Those fucking parents of her are the ones that have made her this weak. Why would any parent even maltreat their child? Why would they give her wolfsbane so she won’t be able to shift anymore? Why would they allow someone like Jackson to abuse her over and over again? I held her hands and stroked them gently. What other form of abuse has happened to her that I don’t know about yet? Why? I stood up after kissing her forehead and then walked out. I stopped when I opened the door and saw Daniella standing outside my room looking so worried. In fact, Liam was there also with Jake and his father. They are all trying to calm her down. When she heard the sound of the door opening, she rushed to me. She wanted to touch me but at the last minute, she stopped herself. She asked instead, “Is she alright now alpha?” I nodded and said, “She will be fine. Don’t worry too much. She will be just fine. We will get through this.” Daniella nodded and the next thing she did was really surprised. She burst into tears and covered her mouth trying to stop the sounds from escaping from her mouth. I looked at her in surprise as I watched tears streaming down her face.

Why is she crying? I just told her Bridget will be fine. It’s nothing serious so she shouldn’t cry. I pulled her closer and hugged her like an older brother cause I can see the way Liam is glaring at me, trying to stop himself from growling. I pat her back gently and didn’t do anything other than hug her. She gasped over and over again like she was finding it hard to breathe. When she refused to stop crying, I had to ask her softly, “Daniella, why are you crying? I told you she will be fine.” I waited for a response but she didn’t speak. I continued, “Bridget won’t be happy when she wakes up and see you crying. She will think I did something to you. Please stop crying.” “Alpha,” she sobbed holding me tightly. “She… She doesn’t even know what rogues are. She had no idea what rogues are until I took her there.” Everywhere was silent when she said this. Even I was stunned. Bridget doesn’t know what rogues are!? I couldn’t believe my ears. “I can’t help but wonder what kind of life she had been living. When she came here, she was covered in scars. Why would they treat her that way?” she muttered. That’s the question that has also been going on and on in my head. Why did they treat her that way? Why? I swore at that instant that I would make sure alpha Johnson and his Luna pay for what they have done to Bridget. Including that beast, Jackson. I rubbed her back lightly and said, “Don’t worry about it and stop crying. It’s all in the past now. I will make them pay for what they have done to her.” NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

I then gestured to Liam to come forward. He took Daniella away from us. As I watched them walk away, I faced Jake and his father. “Let’s continue with the investigation tomorrow. I want to take care of Bridget for now. I’ll concentrate on her only,” I told them. Father nodded but Jake looked like he wanted to say something in the end, he just kept it in and also nodded. As they walked away, Jake still turned around to look at me. I stared back at him and he looked somehow worried like he had to say something urgent. I arched my eyebrow at him hoping he would talk but in the end, he just smiled and didn’t say anything. He waved at me and walked away. I was left confused. What is so hard that he can’t even tell me? Why doesn’t he want to talk? I thought of it for a while and ended up figuring out nothing. So I just turned around and walked back inside. When I got in, Bridget was struggling on the bed like she was fighting with someone. She appeared pale and kept on murmuring something. I walked to her and paused in my tracks when I heard her say, “Please stop… Don’t touch me there.” She then didn’t talk any more just kept on struggling but I was still stunned by what I just heard. Who is it? Did they abuse her sexually too? Her wolf didn’t tell us anything about her being sexually abused the last time she appeared to us so what was Bridget saying? I walked slowly to the bed and sat down beside her. As if she sensed me near her, she suddenly

held my hand. Holding onto it tightly, afraid to let go. She soon stopped struggling and was now sleeping peacefully. What I heard earlier kept on playing over and over again in my mind. I couldn’t deny the anger I felt. To be truthful, I suddenly felt a little disgusted. I could feel my wolf clouding my vision and trying to get out. I felt so angry and hurt. Did they taint her? As that thought escaped my mind, I released my hand from hers and stood up. I felt so suffocated in the room. This isn’t what I envision my mate would be like. I shouldn’t feel this way but I suddenly felt disappointed with myself. I feel like I failed. I don’t know why I feel this way. I looked at her and sighed again. I quickly walk out of the room before I do anything stupid. I walked out of the house. It was already getting to sunset when I walked into the woods. When I got into the deeper part of the woods, I shredded my clothes and briskly let my wolf take over. Mark howled loudly expressing his happiness to be free again. Then off we went into the woods. Into the deeper part of the woods, hunting and running along the way. . . . …….
