BOUGHT BY THE RUTHLESS ALPHA

Chapter 54

Smith Bridget P.O.V

“I knew it! You were hiding something from me!” she exclaimed as she shrieked in excitement. I turned around to look at her and saw the way she was jumping happily. I arched my eyebrows in surprise. What is wrong? Why is she hopping like a rabbit? I walked back to her and dropped the plate of food in my hands on the kitchen island. Then I turned to her and asked, “Daniella, is everything okay? What is wrong? Why are you acting weird? Is there something on my back?” I practically bombarded her with questions. She turned me around and shoved my hair aside before rubbing a spot on my neck. “Hmm,” she murmured. “I wonder what this dark red mark on your neck is.” I immediately froze as I silently gasped. That’s a hickey, right? Oh my gosh! She saw the hickey… I blushed so hard as I couldn’t help but murder William in my head over and over again. How could he have designed my body with his marks like that? He surely wasn’t expecting me to stay in the room cooped up. I was so embarrassed that I remained in that position and didn’t even bother to turn around to face her. I wished I could just disappear right at that moment. Jeez! This is so embarrassing that I want to dig a hole and bury me in it. She came to stand in front of me when she realized that I wasn’t going to turn around or reply to

her question. She wiggled her eyebrows at me in a funny way and I just looked down. My face must be red now from all this blushing. “Won’t you tell me huh? Were you planning to hide the fact that you and William had…,” she trailed when she noticed how nervous and shy I looked. “Let’s use the word consummate. Did he finally mark you?” she asked. I looked up and shook my head sideways to indicate a big day ‘No’. She was stunned and was just about to say something when I spoke first, “We only kissed… Nothing more.” She almost choked when I said that. She pointed at my neck and exclaimed, “What!? That doesn’t look like just kissing to me. What happened? Why did he stop? That freaking idiot is supposed to claim you not leave you halfway.” I chuckled when I heard what she said. She just called William… She just called her alpha an idiot. What the heck!? I couldn’t help but wonder what he would do if he were to hear her say that. She moved closer to me and held my hands gently. “Tell me, Luna,” she called me Luna again even if I have insisted on it for like the nth time now that she shouldn’t call me a freaking Luna. When she saw the look on my face, she changed her words and said, “Tell me Bridget, is everything okay between you and William? Mates are supposed to be irresistible. I still can’t think of why he hasn’t claimed you or marked you yet.” “I did tell him I wasn’t ready,” I said quietly. She gasped again and exclaimed once again, “What!?” I immediately shook my head sideways and told her, “That was when I first came here. Do you know? I was just so scared. I had been living a pretty bad life and then he comes along claiming toNôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

be my mate. I didn’t even know anything about mate bond.” The look on her face turned from curiosity to pity. She tightened her hold on my hands and said, “William isn’t like that. Won’t you give him a chance? Don’t let Sienna win Luna.” There we go again with the Luna thing. I saw the furious look on her face when she said her last sentence. I am happy to know that there are people here who have come to love me and look out for my well-being unlike where I came from. I sighed and told her, “That was then… Now I have seen who William truly is. I don’t want to let him go. I have already given him a chance a long time ago and things were going pretty well in the room earlier until he suddenly left.” I felt myself blushing again when I once again thought of what had almost happened in the room. What would have happened if he hadn’t left? Daniella nudged me and said, “Then you mustn’t let him sleep tonight. I am going to teach you a few tricks that I use on Liam when we are in the room.” I immediately released my hands from hers and covered my ears with my hands mumbling, “No! I don’t want to hear it. I don’t want to hear any of it.” I am already so shy just talking about what happened in the room so how can I even seduce him? I don’t even need to cause he already promised that tonight… I shivered. Daniella said something but I pretended I didn’t hear her. I quickly carried the plate of food I dropped on the table earlier and rushed out of the kitchen. I quickly walked to the kitchen and began

to stuff my mouth with food. “You are really acting so funny,” she said as she walked in with her own plate of food. I pretended I didn’t hear her and faced my food. “I just want to teach you a few sex tricks. It won’t hurt,” she tried to say again and I choked. I choked terribly that she looked so scared and immediately gave me a glass of water. When I stopped choking, she kept quiet and didn’t say another word about teaching me a few tricks. I smiled discreetly and ate my food in peace. But that peace of mind only lasted for a few minutes until she brought up another topic that was somehow troubling. “Bridget, I overheard Liam and the old alpha conversation last night. Apparently, they are holding some rogues in captivity,” she said. . . . ……
