BOUGHT BY THE RUTHLESS ALPHA

Chapter 23

William got dressed and I went to bathe. I’m still self-conscious of my scars. I run into Liam who's wandering in the kitchen literally shovelling meals in his mouth. He stopped and looked up at me. “Are you hungry? Should I get you a plate?” He asked, looking embarrassed. “Oh no, I’m not hungry. I'm just thirsty.” I then went to the fridge and a bottle of water. “Oh hey, I want to tell you something. I've observed you are a bit self-conscious about your scars. It's tough but I heard some werewolves can thicken their skin so their scars don’t show. I don't know if your wolf is strong enough to do that or if it works however you can attempt to try it sometimes. Personally, I suppose you want to be bad a**. Like you’ve adapted to things. But I get it, people ask questions, Questions you don't want to answer,” Liam said before stuffing his face with food. I'll be surprised to see if that works. I kinda want to give it a try. I’ll ask Deli later, maybe she’ll be aware of how I can do it. Liam cleaned up the dirty dishes. “Thanks, Liam. I would like to give it a try and see if it works.” “Hey, this is the first time you’ve me as Liam instead of Beta. Sweet,” Liam chuckled and put his hand around me as we walked outdoors. Outside, I saw William releasing one of the boats into the water. When he looked up and saw us, he growled. “Did he just growl?” I asked Liam.

“Haha, yes he did,” Liam lifted his hands in the air. “Just being a friendly man. I just don't want any problem.” I jolted and so does Daniella. She came over and linked her hand to mine. We cross over to the dock and wait until the guys help us on the boat. I’ve never been on a boat before so I'm not sure what to expect. The boat has a driver seat and seats that line up in rows. There are seats in the way of the boat and seats all the way in the front. Daniella lay down on one side of the boat and I lay down next to her in one corner. The guys take a seat at the front. The boat pulled away from the dock. Daniella and I talked about what happened this morning between me and William. She asked me how I feel. She is the nicest person I have ever met. I even made her know about what Liam told me about my scars. She looked angry that he did not inform her about it. “Do you want to give it a try?” she asked. “I think yes.” Daniella sat up and comes to stand beside me. “Maybe try focusing on one spot. It might be easier. I don't understand how it makes sense,” she said, taking my hand. There are a few scars on it. “Deli, can we do this?” I asked about my idea “I will try.” And just like that, they vanished. Daniella gasps, drawing the attention of the guys. “Bridget, are you okay?” William asked, rushing over. “It worked.” Daniella hit Liam’s shoulder. “Why didn't you inform me about this?” Daniella scolded him.

“Ouch! I love your scar and I’m the only one who sees it,” he replied cheekily. “I’ve never worn a bikini because of my... Oh, you jerk. You did not inform me because you watch me wear bikinis!” Daniella stood up and she was raging mad. “Come on babe, you are amazing. I don't want other guys to have a reason to stare at you. I do not want to be put in chains for ripping someone's throat out,” Liam pleaded and gave the cutest puppy face. “Don’t give me that stupid face,” Daniella hits his shoulder again. “Fine, how about I tell you this then?” Liam pulled out a little jewellery blue box and opened it. Daniella gasped again “Daniella Rivers, will you do me the honour of turning into my spouse?” Liam knelt down on one knee. Daniella looked like she is going to cry and she nodded her head. Liam put the ring on her finger and hugged her. They look adorable. I and William are holding hands and I am leaning on his shoulder. “They are so lovely that it almost makes me sick,” He leaned down and whispered. “We heard that,” They said at the same time which made them laugh and kiss each other. “I have to agree with William,” I say. Everyone turned to me and then start laughing. “Now that is over. Congratulations you two crazy kids. Tell m what happened earlier,” William askedThis content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

us. “Oh, Bridget's scars. Show him,” Daniella said. I showed off my fresh skin free of scars to him. “Oh wow, that’s crazy. But you don’t have to conceal your scars. I love you just the way you are.” DID HE JUST SAY HE LOVES ME!! “I am going to feel comfortable this way now that there won't be people staring at me or feeling bad for me,” I say and I got rid of all my scars. I’ve never felt so free and I like it. William pulled me to sit on his lap and he leaned in. “As long as you are pleased baby,” He whispered. His hands round my waist. “I am. It makes me feel. . normal.” “Oh Bridget, you are normal. In every possible way,” he kissed my forehead. “Yo William, we have company,” Liam says looking out at the lake. William moved me off his lap and stood up. “It’s Todd and Kelvin,” William says. I don't know if it’s a good or bad thing. “Sweet,” Liam says. I assume it is good. William and Liam head to the front of the boat. Daniella came over to me. “Okay, you will love Debby... She’s Jeremy's mate and a little dumb but very sweet. She'll like you since you are William's mate and also an alpha descendant. She’s very bloodline focused. Stephanie is Todd’s mate. And he is like a second cousin or something, I don’t know aware of they

are all related somehow,” Daniella explained as our boat slows down and Todd’s boat comes alongside ours. William and Liam tied the boat. . . . ......
