BOUGHT BY THE RUTHLESS ALPHA

It feels like a chilly day today. The blaring sound of my alarm jolted me awake this morning. I was startled awake and looked over at the antique wall clock to see that it was already four in the morning. I jumped to my feet and hurriedly walked to one end of the room, where I had put out the few items of clothing and footwear that I had.

I got up and made my way down to the kitchen to start putting the meals together. I was so worn out that as soon as I walked into the kitchen and opened my mouth to yawn, I made a cup of hot tea for myself and went outside to sit on the patio.

There was complete silence and darkness around. Nobody gets up at this time of day. This peaceful hour of the morning is the only time of day when I can be alone with my thoughts. As soon as I had completed emptying the contents of the cup, I went inside and started making breakfast for everyone. I did this as soon as I had finished emptying the cup. Since the day I was born, I've spent all of my life in this Pack house.

My mother, my father, who is also the leader of the pack, and each of my brothers and I share this house together. Despite the fact that I am a member of the family, I am treated more like an omega. My so-called room is really just a closet, or perhaps a space that is somewhat smaller than a closet.

Although I am the one who prepares all of the meals for everyone, cleans the house every day, and takes care of the other responsibilities, they do not give their blessing for me to leave the household whenever I choose.

I did not waste any time and got right to slicing the veggies that were necessary for supper. It is imperative that I finish breakfast in enough time to finish getting everyone ready for the day before the sun starts to rise.

The ages of my two older brothers are close to twenty-four and twenty-one respectively. They are both experienced fighters. They enjoy meals and consume a great deal of food. Because they are typically not here for lunch, it is necessary for me to cook a substantial quantity of food to have on hand for both breakfast and dinner.

In addition to that, it is incumbent upon me to guarantee that there is sufficient fruit salad to satisfy their enormous hunger. I was getting close to finishing making breakfast and cleaning up the mess in the kitchen when I suddenly heard loud yells coming from the upper floor. I made a beeline for the dirty clothes, and as soon as I had them in my hands, I headed straight for the laundry room to start washing them.

I usually make it a point to make sure that I entirely avoid issues that are related to them. I was able to hear the sound of their footsteps as they made their way downstairs to have their breakfast even though I was down in the basement. I couldn't help but feel a sigh of relief when I realised that perhaps today wouldn't be quite as bad as it usually is. My grandfather is scheduled to meet with an Alpha from another pack today, and it is likely that this will keep him occupied for the majority of the day.

A few hours later, while I was folding clothes in the laundry room, I became aware of someone behind me at the same time that I smelled the unmistakable aroma of sexual yearning. I immediately recognised the person who was hiding behind me. After turning around, I saw Beta Gaby standing near the window on the side. After walking up to me, he quickly wrapped his hand around my neck and began to squeeze.

"Are you making an effort to stay away from me, Smith?" I was startled and shook my head in response to his shouting in my ear. He pulled me in closer and sniffed my hair before continuing. I can sense him becoming more excited as he presses himself up against me.

Due to the fact that I am really busy right now, I won't be able to spend much time with you. But I'll have the pleasure of your company all to myself tonight."

He increased the pressure he was applying around my neck. His unoccupied hand reached around the back of my waist and got hold of my privates. "Do you understand?" He asks. In response to it, all I could do was nod my head. He let me go and then took a few steps in the opposite direction.

I heaved a sigh of relief and cleared my throat. Before he left, he smoothed out the wrinkles on the portion of his clothing that was wrinkled.

'Make sure to bring a cup of tea and juice upstairs in an hour, and I don't want to see you close to the office when the other Alpha arrives,' he shouted as he made his way up the stairs. 'Make sure to bring a cup of tea and juice upstairs in an hour.'

After forty minutes, when I was very certain that they had exited the dining room, I went upstairs to clean the desk and get the tray ready. As soon as I was finished, I grabbed the tray and went to visit my father at his workplace.

I walked up to the enormous door of the study and gave a gentle knock on it. I was given the command to "Go inside!" as a response. Before going into my father's office, I drew a long breath in and held it.

Just Beta Gaby was present in the office at that time. I carefully set the tray down on the table without looking up, and then I went to leave. But, just as I was turning to leave, Beta Gaby called out to me, "Smith, come over here."

I made my way over to the side of the couch in a leisurely fashion. When he looked in my direction, his face contorted into an angry expression. "Smith, come sit on my lap. He told me, "I've missed being able to touch you." I was about to disobey him at this point, but he got hold of my hips and dragged me to sit on his lap instead. I am well aware that attempting to get free at this point would have been fruitless, and thus I made no attempt to do so.

Since the alpha doesn't really keep an eye on him, I can't say for sure whether or not he is aware of what's going on. The aroma of my body was inhaled deeply by Beta Gaby as he buried his face in my neck. After that, he leaned in close to me and murmured into my ear, "I am looking forward to seeing you in my room tonight, before the meeting?"

When he brushed his palm over the upper half of my body, I did my best not to recoil in revulsion at the sensation. On the other hand, just as he was ready to continue, we heard footsteps coming from the direction of the entrance.

He sighed and said, "So it looks as though we will have to wait till tonight." They've already made their way here." After that, he shoved me off of him, and I quickly retreated a few paces away from the chair so that my father wouldn't notice, not that he would care even if he did notice.

When my father walked into the room, I was there waiting for him, standing next to his desk.

"You are my mate," that alpha said in a serious voice and I looked at him. He has the most glamorous eyes I have ever seen. They're darkish evergreen like the forest.

I couldn't hold his gaze for long cause my father is still in the room and I'll get into trouble for being disrespectful.

"Smith before I open my eyes and close it, I do not want to see you here," my dad said loudly. I ran out of the room and gently closed the door. I can hear some noise from afar. I ran down to the corridor to get back to the laundry room.

The dirty garments are so much that I keep on washing them over and over again. Getting to the last room of the house, Shawn, my brother stopped me. Shawn is the first son of the family. He is as depraved as my father.

Shawn stood in my way and blocked my way as he kept on looking at me with an unsure look. "Little mouse, where do you think you are going?" I did not answer him but I just lowered my head in fear.

I then moved back to the washing machine to finish my work for the day. I was surprised when he didn't say anything. When I turned around to look at him, I realized that he was startled and looking at where I was standing.

That was when I noticed Alpha William and Beta Liam. They have been standing at the entrance of dad's office. Shawn walked to the place I was standing and he held my hand tightly before pulling me away, straight into the kitchen. He pushed me against the wall so roughly that it hurt.

"What did he see in you that made him like you?" Shawn asked with a smiling face. " I can not even imagine you becoming a Luna!," he said, looking at me with so much anger. "You can't even look straight into my eyes neither can you move! You are so weak."

Shawn walked to where I was standing and continued with his hurtful words, "It's only a matter of time before he has his chance with you and abandon you. It won't take long for him to throw you out of the house and I won't even blame him."

Then he slipped his hands into my dress and touched the side of my panties. I can still feel the sting of pain from the spot. He leaned in and whispered into my ear,"We'll just have to allow the guy to enjoy himself with you and after he is done sucking you dry, he will bring you back to us. When he does this, we will sell you to alpha Jackson."

I felt so weak and it clearly showed in my eyes. I think alpha Jackson is very wicked than my dad. I can still remember the day he slept in our house and my dad sent me to him. I couldn't even recall all what occurred, but all I could remember is myself laying on my bed in the health center receiving treatments due to injuries.

When I asked what happened to me the doctors said I was found in the garden with my clothes completely soaked in blood. It took me a very long time to recover. Since that day, I haven't set my eyes on alpha Jackson and that was just couple of months ago.

Shawn starts rubbing my pussy harder through my panties as he tightened his hold round me. Shawn pulled me back to allow him gain more access to my neck.

"Shawn!," My brother David shouted as he walked in. He didn't looked fazed by what was going on cause he already seen this couple of times. They don't do anything to help or save me.

"We were waiting for you and you're in here harassing Smith," he says frustrated. "Hey guy calm down, Smith has already found her mate," Shawn said to him, releasing me and moving his hand away. David looked at me with a surprised look

"Who!? You?," he asked me with an astonished look.

"Alpha William," Shawn answered.

"Well, I am sure he is going to enjoy the good aroma when he is all over you," David mumbled mischievously as he looked us. Shawn rolled his eyes and walked past David without saying anything. David looked at me sympathetically.

Sincerely, David is the only one that has never touched me in any way either sexually or violently. There was this time I collapsed after dad beat me up for nothing.

I was feeling faint from the pain and couldn't even move when someone walked in and carried me to the bathroom. He helped me wash off the blood from my injuries and then put me into bed. It was David but we've never spoken about that incident.

"Are you okay Smith?," David asked. His voice snaps me out of the painful memory. I nod and hurry back to the laundry room. I was carrying the wet clothes to another room to spread them when I passed the kitchen and saw my mother. She looked very happy which is definitely not good news for me.

"Oh, Smith! Good, put that down. You have to go upstairs and pack your things. You'll be leaving quickly for your new home."

" My new home?" I asked with a perplexed look.

"Yes, you are going to live with Alpha William. He has paid a handsome sum for you," she explained.

"You are our connection to the richest pack in the united states and we are not going to let go of this opportunity. You should not do things that will upset him. If he sends you back to us, things will become worse for you here," she glared at me.

"Don't mess this up for us Smith," she hissed. "Now go get your things," she pushed me out of the kitchen and up the stairs. I go to my room and took out the small backpack. I packed up all of my belongings that doesn't even fill up the space in the backpack.

"Get down right now. You are leaving," My mother mindlinked me. This is all happening so fast. I rushed out of my room and down the stairs. My mom and father are standing right next to Alpha William and his beta. My mother hugged me.

"Remember what I told you," she whispered in my ear.

"Bye honey. Behave appropriately and we will see you soon," She says loud enough for everyone to hear. My dad simply grunts and stares at me. Alpha William stepped aside so I walked past him. His beta opened the door for me.

We then walked out of the house and the beta opens the vehicle door. I entered it. Alpha William climbs in after me and his beta sits up front. I looked at floor feeling extremely nervous. After few minutes of driving, Alpha William turns to me,

"You do not have to be nervous. I won't hurt you," He said. I glanced at him and he laughed. I feel drawn to his laughter but I don't know why. I understand then that I have been staring at him and I quickly shift my eyes again down to the ground.

We arrived at the airport and headed straight to the plane. I was even more worried to embark on the journey. "What's wrong hun," his Beta asks looking concerned.

"I. . I've never flown before," I spoke nearly in a whisper however I knew he could hear me. He laughed.

"Oh kid, it's the best," he says, setting his hand on mine and guiding me closer to the plane. Alpha Williams lets out a small growl that makes me jump. He quickly looked at me with concern. But his Beta just ignores him and continues manourver me to the plane.

"There are drinks and food and even a bed for taking a nap. I love flying. Well, I love flying privately," He chuckled. The Alpha simply shakes his head. We walk into the airplane. It's so beautiful. There is a couch and 4 single seats, each set with a table.

There's a velvet curtain serving as a partition to another room that has a mattress in the back.

The beta walked in and sits in one of the single chairs. He gestures for me to sit down on the couch and I complied. The Alpha sits next to his beta. I can see both of them staring at me. However before they could say, a lady walked in and asked if we would prefer any refreshment.

They both order a whiskey. The woman then comes over to me and asked," And what can I get for you, sweetie?"

"Oh no, thank you. I don't want anything. " I said shyly.

"Bring her water to drink, Sarah," says the beta.

"Sure," Sarah bobbed her head upwards and goes to the front of the plane.

William POV

"Since I was once born, I have never seen anyone act this shy before," Liam stated in his head

"I'm trying not to overwhelm her, however do not suppose she's ever even been out of that house," I reply. We are all sitting in the aircraft in silence.

"Sir, we are about to take off," Sarah tells me as she delivers our drinks. "We might reach out destination two pm," she informed us. I saw the look of shock on Bridget's face.

"It's a 3 hours straight ride," I explained. She collects the water from Sarah and nods in appreciation.

"Man, this is going to be a lengthy plane ride," Liam said through the mind-link. I gave him an unamused look.

After about fifty mins, Bridget seems to have relaxed a bit. Liam and I discuss some plans that we have about the new training facility we want to build. We have three plans to decide on.

After about an hour of arguing with Liam, discussing all of our options and arguing on few satisfying ones, we finally decide on a plan. I glanced over to check on Bridget and saw that she had fallen asleep while we were working. I get Liam's attention and points at her,

"Do you think this means she's getting more comfortable?," Liam laughed.

"Should I leave her here or take her to the bed?," I asked him.

"Maybe it's too soon to carry her off to bed. " Liam says, pointing to the closet where there are extra blankets. I get up and grab one and move to her. I lay the blanket on her as gently as I can.

This is the closest I have been to her. I notice her shirt is hiked up on her side revealing the end of a scar. That's when it hits me. She is wearing long sleeves and jeans, is it to cover up her scars? I felt a wave of anger rush over me.

"What's the wrong man?" Liam asks in my head. I know he can feel my anger from there. I finish covering her and move to the back of the plane with Liam right behind me.

"What's up, man?" Liam asks glancing concerned.

"Liam, I have a feeling she is covered in scars. She is wearing long sleeves and pants in the middle of July. And I saw the end of a scar on her side. I don't know why I just felt so angry,"I said pacing back and forth. I want to punch something so bad.

Rage is filling me up inside and I feel like I'm going to explode.

"Excuse me," a shy voice grabs our attention.

"WHAT!?" I shout, my voice filled with anger. It's Bridget . She bounces and looks like she wants to crawl into herself and disappear.

"Oh Bridget, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to...," I trailed off when Liam walked to her

"What can I get for you huh?," He asked softly.

A small growl leaves my mouth out of my control. Her eyes are glued to the floor.

"I just wanted to know where the bathroom is," She says in a whisper.

Liam moves forward and stands in front of the door.

"It's right here my lady," He says as he opens it and bows. She shyly giggled and steps forward. She then heads into the bathroom and Liam turned to me with a grumpy look. "Man you have to get it together. You can't just shout at her. " He shouted.

"I didn't mean to. Man, this is not how I imagined meeting my mate would be. She acts like she doesn't even feel the mate bond," I say in a huff.

Bridget comes back from the bathroom and moves back to the couch.

"Bridget, would you like to sleep on the bed instead? I know that sofa isn't that comfortable." I asked with a laugh.

"Oh, I don't mind. It's much more comfortable than the bed I have at home and it's bigger," she whispered the last part.

"But if I'm in the way. I can stay in the other room Alpha." Her eyes never left the floor. I sighed and answered,"Bridget, you are not in the way. I just want to make sure you are comfortable." She looked up and smile then turned around and heads back to the couch.

"Did she just say that the couch is bigger than her bed at home? What the hell is wrong with those people?," Liam mumbled behind me.

"I feel like it's going to be a long road before I can get her to be comfortable with me," I said almost defeated. The rest of the plane ride is quiet and Bridget slept off again. I and Liam continued on our conversation.

*** William P.O.V ***

My alarm goes off as soon as the clock reaches the six o'clock position. I got out of bed, changed into some workout clothes, and headed straight for the fitness centre as soon as I could. The fitness centre is located in close proximity to the home.

It is located directly across the street from here. My home is in the adjacent pack house. The structure has a total of twelve floors. Every single member of the pack calls this place home. I have exclusive use of the top floor.

I'm the Alpha. Before I head out to the crucial pack meeting I have, I would like to get in some exercise. Alpha Johnson and his pack have been giving me a lot of trouble recently. He is both needlessly obnoxious and merciless in his actions.

It's a good thing his pack isn't very big and doesn't have a lot of strength, because if it did, he'd be a danger to a lot of people. While I was running on the treadmill, I went over the notes that were taken at today's meeting. After being seated for an hour, I eventually got up and went back to my room to take a shower.

After using the lavatory for a little while, I walked out and was all set to leave. I had been there for a few minutes. I make my way down to the first level, where I am supposed to meet up with my beta, Liam.

"Good Morning Alpha," Liam replies, smirking at me. Liam's grin never stops appearing on his face. I've seen that he appears to be far too content for his own good.

"Good morning, Liam! Have you looked over the notes yet?"

"Well, yes, of course, I did," she replied. Please don't make a fuss; they require our assistance. After gently stroking me on the back, Liam adds, "I don't imagine there is anything for us to be concerned about."

When we were both only little puppies, Liam and I have been inseparable companions. His father was a mentor and friend to my own father. We exited through the main entrance of the building.

"Even though I realise this is going to be helpful in the meeting, I am not looking forward to it at all," Liam says. "I am not looking forward to it at all."

I cocked my eyebrow in his direction. "Every time I interact with Alpha Johnson, I get the wrong impression. The response from Liam was, "He's just... slimy."

"Yes, I am aware of what you are implying, Liam; yet, we require that land. As we pulled up to the airport, I said something to the effect of it's unfortunate that he owns that piece of property. We made our way to our private jet and got ready for the flight that would take us to the Blood Forest Pack, which would take us approximately two hours and fifty minutes in total.

After a few more hours, when we arrived there much sooner than we had anticipated, I began to feel antsy and ready to get things over with. The Blood Forest Pack may not always have a huge number of members, but they do control a significant amount of land across numerous countries. We are considering making an offer to buy a piece of land that they possess that is located just next to the lands that we control. There will soon be a brand new medical centre there thanks to our decision.

We bypassed the man's planned arrival time by twenty minutes and headed directly to Alpha Johnson's packhouse. Should we wait for it? The question comes from Liam, who is looking out the window at the house, which is located in the middle of the forest and is of adequate size.

"Let's get this done so we can move on." As I opened the door, I made a mental note. The backyard seems to be quiet, but in the distance, I can make out the sound of warriors practising their skills. Before knocking on the door, we moved up to it and took a few steps in that direction. Instantaneously, the door opened, and there, standing in front of me, was Luna Katherine. The alpha Johnson has chosen her to be his mate.

She greets both Beta Liam and me with a warm smile as we enter the room. "Well, isn't it wonderful to have you here at this time?" She remarked that she opened the door for us in the correct manner so that we could enter inside.

"Luna Katherine, do you think we could have arrived a little too soon? I'm hoping it won't be a problem for you. I asked.

"Oh, absolutely not at all. Alpha William. She responded with a chuckle as she led us up the stairs and instructed us to "Please agree with me and come with me." Alpha Johnson was already at his place of employment.

The residence has a lot of open space, and the stairs lead to six different entrances. Everything that is happening downstairs is visible to you. Almost instantly, we came to a stop in front of the second door. She rapped on the door and then opened it. As soon as we walked inside the room, I noticed Alpha Johnson seated in the chair behind his desk, while the Beta was lounging on the couch.

. . . As I abruptly sniffed the air, the first thing that sprang to my mind was, "What is that smell?" My wolf barked, "Mate!", and it was addressed to Mark. At that point, I looked over and noticed a woman was positioned next to the Alpha.

She has jet-black hair that is pulled back into a messy bun and is of average height. She appears to be clothed in the attire of a maid. Oh wait, does that mean she's an omega? It seems as though she is anxious. She is definitely attempting to avoid making eye contact with anyone by glancing at the ground.

The fact that Mark continues roaring the word "mate" in my thoughts gives me instant confirmation that she is indeed my mate.

Alpha Johnson whispered to Smith, "Get out of here," so that no one else could hear him say it.

"Get out of here."

I reacted swiftly and turned her back around before she could leave. "Wait!" I yelled out in surprise. From the corner of my eye, I can make out Liam twisting his head to look at me.

"Mate," I mind-link, Liam. Alpha Johnson, Luna, and his Beta are all looking at me as though they don't understand what's going on. I got a little bit closer to her and put my hand on her neck just below her chin.

She grimaced in pain and then looked up. The moment her ruby eyes locked with mine, I was unable to draw another breath. "Mate," I say. After staring at me for a minute, she eventually looked away and her eyes returned to the ground. I experienced a sharp pain in my chest as a result of my presumption that I had been rejected.

.

.

.

......

"Get out of here! Smith!, "The angry shouting of Alpha Johnson raises my level of tension. He does not give off the impression of being cheerful, although his companion Luna seems to be taking everything in stride. Smith walks out of the room, and at that point, I turned around to face Alpha Johnson and Luna Katherine.

Alpha Johnson snarls fiercely and asks, "Who do you think you are coming in right here and claiming my daughter for yourself!?" She is_"

The conversation is suddenly interrupted by Luna, who says, "Now sweetheart, you are aware of the mate bond is no longer an option." That was remarked by her with a chuckle.

"Alpha William, beta Liam, and beta Gaby, could you just allow the Alpha and I a moment alone? I give her a slight nod before leaving the room. "Have you given any thought to the possibility of her being your mate, man?" Liam lowers his voice.

"Yeah, I'm positive of that; nonetheless, it came across as one-sided. Perhaps it has anything to do with the fact that she has not yet come of age? I heard a tremendous bang followed by piercing whispering at the back of the door, and then there was stillness. Beta Gaby bolts from the room and runs down the hallway towards the exit.

When I looked at Liam, he had a perplexed expression on his face. When the door was finally opened, Luna giggled and motioned for us to come inside.

"Thank you so much for your insight, Alpha William. I really appreciate it. He offers the following suggestion: "Why don't we have an important meeting first, and then we shall discuss my daughter?" I nod my head. On the chair, Liam and I took a seat.

The meeting came to a successful close. We reached a decision and settled on an agreement on the land. Immediately after it came to an end, I enquired about my companion.

Alpha Johnson turns to his Luna and asks, "My love, would you kindly grab some refreshments so that I can have a private talk with Alpha William about Bridget?" Alpha Johnson is asking Luna to help him have a private conversation with Alpha William about Bridget.

She gave him an easygoing look before saying, "Of course, sweetheart." I'm going to go get some beverages for us to have during the celebration." After that, she walks out of the room.

**** ****

Alpha Johnson got to his feet and manoeuvred around the other person. He is seated next to him. Nonetheless, werewolves mature more slowly than most other creatures, therefore he is probably in his early thirties despite his advanced age.

"So it sounds like Bridget is your partner. Alpha Johnson gives William his full attention as he says, "And I'm sure you would prefer her to go with you to your pack." The latter could see the wrath in his eyes, and I could feel it steadily building up within me at the same time.

"He screamed at her, "What are you going to give me in trade for her?" William was completely taken aback as he peered at him in total awe. "What?" asks Liam, confused.

Alpha Johnson chuckled to himself and then continued, "It's easy; I have something that you're looking for. So what do you have to provide in exchange for the things you require? It's a matter of business.

Alpha stands up from behind the desk and then sits back down in the chair behind him. He looks serious. It has been decided that he will sell his daughter. Who exactly is this guy, anyway?

"What exactly are you looking for, Alpha Johnson?" William inquired in a chilly manner.

"Hm, well, you are taking one of my pleasant staff. I'm not happy about that." I'm going to have to come up with some sort of payment before I can bring on any new employees "He responds with a grin on his face.

The thought that "He is selling his daughter" is linked to me via Liam's train of thought. His tone is so agitated that I can almost feel it.

"What is it, Alpha Johnson? How much do you require?" William inquired while maintaining a calm demeanour. "$1,000,000, "The response comes from Alpha Johnson.

Liam stands, "What!" I made sure to keep my eyes on Alpha Johnson as he widened his snort. "Agreed. "But, she will be leaving with us immediately," I replied as I rose up.

Alpha Johnson gets to his feet and extends his hand to shake mine. "Are you going to hand over that cash to your roommate for him?" Liam's mind linked me.

I responded to him by saying, "I have a gut sense that I need to get her away from this man as quickly as possible." At that very time, Luna enters the room carrying beverages in her hands and a grin on her face, asking, "So we have an agreement?" She poses the question while making a snorting sound.

After that, I was finally able to put together that they had both planned this. "Who are these monsters?"

*** Bridget P.O.V ***

"You are my mate," that alpha said in a serious voice and I looked at him. He has the most glamorous eyes I have ever seen. They're darkish evergreen like the forest.

I couldn't hold his gaze for long cause my father is still in the room and I'll get into trouble for being disrespectful.

"Smith before I open my eyes and close them, I do not want to see you here," my dad said loudly. I ran out of the room and gently closed the door. I can hear some noise from afar. I ran down to the corridor to get back to the laundry room.

The dirty garments are so much that I keep on washing them over and over again. Getting to the last room of the house, Shawn, my brother stopped me. Shawn is the first son of the family. He is as depraved as my father.
