BOUGHT BY THE RUTHLESS ALPHA

Chapter 41

*** William P.O.V *** I looked at him in surprise and he smiled at me. “Are… Are you a shaman?” I choked out and he nodded to indicate ‘Yes’. Stephanie looked at him in surprise and blurted out, “Jack, how come we didn’t know you are a healer? How were you able to hide this secret for so long?” He smiled and looked at Todd. Todd somehow looked uncomfortable with the way Jack is staring at him. I squinted my eyes at him. He only acts this way when he is hiding something from us. What is Todd hiding from us? “Alpha knows,” Jack finally dropped the bombshell. Stephanie was wide agape as she stared at Todd who looked away immediately. “Todd!!,” she shrieked at him. I looked down at Bridget. She is not moaning in pain anymore or struggling on the bed. She is now snoring peacefully. I stroked her hand lightly. Her body is not even as hot as before anymore. I looked back at Todd. Why did he hide this huge secret from us? He has a fucking shaman in his pack. Yeah, it shouldn’t be a big deal but it is. A few months ago when war broke out between magical beings, it kinda affected the healers also since they practice magic also. Don’t get me wrong. They are also werewolves but they practice magic mainly for healing people. So the war that broke out caused healers to be extinct and extremely rare. They are so difficult to find. It is so surprising that Todd somehow managed to find a shaman and keep him in his pack. If other nearby packs without shamans get to hear of this, an external war will surely break out.

“Todd! Face me. I am talking to you. What else have you been hiding from me?” Stephanie asked looking not so pleased. Todd sighed and faced her with a defeated look on his face. “Don’t give me that look. Just answer my question,” Stephanie replied sternly. “I am not hiding anything else from you. I’m sorry baby. I didn’t mean to hide this from you but…,” Todd trailed off. “But you did. What happened to not keeping secrets from each other law? What happened to that?” Stephanie asked, pissed off. Todd rubbed his face and whined, “Baby, I am so sorry. I didn’t mean to. It’s just that a lot of war has been ongoing lately with other packs and I know that if the secret of my having a shaman in my pack spreads out, it will surely cause another war. I just didn’t want to stress you, baby,” he explained but Stephanie wasn’t hearing any of it. Is it her hormones or she is becoming too difficult lately? “So what you are indirectly telling me is that if you tell me, I will surely tell someone else and then soon the whole pack will hear about it. Once the whole pack also hear about it, every other pack will find out,” Stephanie spat out and Todd groaned. “You don’t get what I am trying to tell you, baby! That is not… Hey baby! Wait… Where are you going to!?,” he cried out as he quickly followed her out. Stephanie was storming off angrily. “Don’t you dare touch me for one week!” I heard her shout and I chuckled. Not only me. The others also chuckled feeling amused at what just happened. Alpha and Luna behave childishly. I stroked Bridget’s hand again and thought that what if she tells me that I shouldn’t touch her forText © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

one week, even for a day? I swear I won’t survive it. Daniella and Liam quietly left the room and I didn’t even know they already left until I heard the doctor or shall I say shaman/healer packing the medical tools he brought. I looked up and discovered that he is the only one left in the room. He is also about to leave. I hurriedly stopped him and asked, “Now that no one else is here, can you tell me what happened to my mate?” He smiled and looked at me like he was already expecting me to ask this question. “Alpha, you should try to caution your Luna not to act so recklessly. She shouldn’t force herself to shift,” he began and I looked at him, listening eagerly. “Whatever wolfsbane whoever wanted to hurt her must have given her is actually too powerful for her to try shifting now. She should wait patiently for it to wear off before trying to force herself to shift,” he explained and looked at me to see if I am listening. I nodded my head and urged him to continue. “If she tries forcing herself again… I don’t know if you have ever noticed a specific colour change in her eyes,” he asked and I nodded. “Her eyes sometimes turn to a beautiful crimson colour. Once before it was purple,” I answered. “Purple colour should be for her wolf,” Jack said. “What about the crimson colour then?” I asked him. I have always thought the crimson colour is more beautiful. Jack shook his head sideways indicating ‘No’ as if he heard what I was just thinking about. Did he hear my inner thoughts?

“No, no, no…. The crimson colour isn’t a good sign. If I am not wrong, your Luna is a white wolf,” he said and I nodded, feeling a little bit stunned. How does he know all this? This is one of the reasons why I dislike magical beings. They have deeper insight and can even sense what normal supernatural beings can’t see or sense. “That crimson colour should only appear when she is scared or angry. It isn’t a good sign. Anytime she tries to force herself to shift again and she gets those crimson eyes, she might get frozen,” he said and then carried his bag. I looked at him in confusion. I don’t understand his last statement. What does he mean by she might get frozen? I opened my mouth to ask him but he just turned around and left without another word. . . . ……
