Bridget P.O.V continues
 It was so late at night when I woke up with a start. I took a look around the room and I was all alone. I was still scared from that dream that I clutched a pillow and a blanket and then moved into the bathroom.
 I flip the light on and lay the blanket down in the bathtub before crawling in. I immediately slept off. When I woke up hours later, I put away the blanket and the pillow.
 Then I walked to the kitchen to find a cup of tea. I prepared a cup and grabbed it. Then I grabbed a blanket off the couch and wrap it around myself before walking to the balcony. Everywhere is silent and it makes me like morning.
 “Hey Bridget,” I heard a voice from behind. I jump up a little almost spilling my tea.
 “Forgive me. It wasn’t my intention to startle you,” He said. He looked like he just finished working out because he is wearing a pair of fitness centre shorts and his stunning body is glistening with sweat. God, Sandra get to hold of yourself.
 “Please forgive me. I am used to having a cup of tea before getting ready for breakfast. Forgive me, I’ll go back in," I started a little bit scared. I should have known that this is the time wakes up.
 “Bridget, can you please have your seat? We need to talk,” He said and I sat on the chair by my side. No, I am not sure if Daniella delivered my messages to him. I have to do what he expected. Perhaps he’s going to reject me and send me back home. I began to panic and my breath free fainted.
 He grabbed my hands, “Breath Bridget, you aren’t in danger. You are safe.” I took in deep breaths and closed my eyes.
   “I’m sorry. Please don’t send me back home. I will do anything you want. I’ll cook, I’ll clean. I’ll help you in any way please let me stay. You can reject me if you want but please...”
 “Bridget stop!” He cuts me off looking upset. I’m blowing this. “Smith Bridget, you aren't here to cook or clean. You are not a maid. You are my mate.” He grabbed my hand.
  “Do you understand what that means?” He asks concerned. I shook my head. He sighed.
 “How about I have Daniella provide an explanation for it to you when you are ready? But all you should know is I’m supposed to defend you, not use you.”
 “But you paid for me. Don’t you want to. . get your money’s worth,” I whispered the remaining part remembering what my brother said. I looked up at Alpha to see his reaction and I heard a low growl as his eyes start to change colour. I pulled my hands away in shock.
 “Bridget I am not like the guys you have met before. I know your father would not have let you go away if I didn’t supply him with something. Please don't ever compare me with those animals.” he said as he stands.
 I can hear the anger in his voice. I shrunk into my blanket. I just feel like disappearing. I glanced up and saw his eyes on me. He looked sorry however he just turned away.
 “Daniella will be here in an hour. I’m going to my workplace," He says from behind the door leading to the balcony. I just nod however I didn't turn around to look at him.
 “Bridget, I’m...,” he trails off not finishing his sentence. I heard him leave. I just sit there until the sun comes up.
 Daniella arrived thirty minutes later and came out to see me on the balcony. “Hey hun, I heard about what happened. Are you okay?” she was kneeling in front of me looking up. I nodded.
 She laughed, “Good because honey we have some shopping to do.” She grabbed my hand and we head out to the door. We walked down in the elevator and into the foyer.
 “ Good morning Beta Winter and Miss Smith,” the bellman in the lobby greeted as he opened the door. “Heading out for the day?”
 “Yes, Dan. We are going shopping,” Daniella says with a smile as we get into an expensive-looking SUV.
 “Have a nice time at the mall ladies,” Dan waves with a grin. And then we left. The car moved around for a few minutes before pulling up in front of a cute little boutique. A lovely woman with lengthy wavy hair greeted us.
 “Welcome beta Daniella,” She said as she locked the door behind us.
 “Stacy! This is Bridget, our future Luna. She needs to acquire a new wardrobe,” Daniella said happily as she made her way to the lounge. Stacy led me to an alternating room.
 “Go in there, undress and I will seize a few things in your dimension. What measurement are you honey?” Stacy asked.
 “Oh! I’m no longer certain. I suppose,” I said nervously. She laughed before leaving me there. I take off my pants and shirt and then stood in front of the mirror wearing only my underwear. I felt very uncomfortable. I can see all the scars that have been left on my body over the years.
 “Okay miss, I have numerous choices . . . Oh Miss,” Stacy stopped when she saw my scars.
 Daniella walked in and looked astonished. “Oh Bridget, my dear.” Her eyes fall on my scars. I tried to cover them with my hands but my hands even have scars on them so it's of no use. The tears fall silently.
  “Bridget, please don't cry. What happened to you, my dear?” Daniella asked as she wiped my tears away. When I didn't respond, she said,” Okay, that is fine, whenever you are ready to speak, I'm here.”
 She then changed the subject, “You have such terrific legs that will look good in a lingerie.” She turned to Stacy who nodded and walked to me.
 She took my measurement and said, “We will play these up and give you both full-size or quarter-size sleeves. Okay?” She looked at me and Daniella. Daniella nodded and I took in a deep breath before nodding too.
 They both leave and Stacy came back with many varieties of clothes for me to choose from. I tried the clothes one after the other.
 I have never worn so many extraordinary styles of garments in my entire life. Daniella loved all of them.
 “Stacy, we will take them all. It’s time to go to the next store,” Daniella says to Stacy who hurries off to wrap all the dresses.
 “Next store? How many stores are we going to?” I asked.  
 “Well, I had decided on five stores. However, I don’t want you to be exhausted so let's just go to four stores,” She laughed at the horrified look on my face. Four stores!!?
  By the time we left the third store, I was very exhausted. Who knew buying would require a lot of energy? We ultimately made it to the final store and I felt like I was going to faint.
 “Daniella, will we just keep on shopping?” I asked shyly. Just then my belly decided to join the conversation.
 Daniella giggles, “Oh my gosh! We have not even eaten all day. Let’s say we ask them to deliver all the shopping bags home and then we will get dinner.” I nodded.
 “Then after dinner, we are going to go home and have a ladies' night, sounds good?” She didn't even wait for me to respond. She told me to select an outfit to change into and then we head to a restaurant that is just down the street.
 My belly growls again as we sat down. Daniella and I experienced a top-notch meal together. “Bridget, tell me about your wolf,” Daniella asked at the end of the meal.  
 “My wolf? Well, her name is Deli and she is beautiful,” I told her.
 “When was the last time you shifted?” Daniella asks.
  “Oh, I’m . . . I don't...,” I shrugged.
  “Bridget, you can tell me,” Daniella takes my hand.
 “Well about two years." Daniella gasped at my response.
 “When was the last time you spoke to her?” Daniella asked again.
 “Um, a year ago I think."  I felt so ashamed that I shifted my eyes to the ground as I pulled my hand away from hers.
 “Well dear, maybe one day, I’ll be able to meet her.” As she spoke, I can see tears forming in her eyes. We walked back to the pack residence in silence. We made our way up in silence and when we get into the room, Daniella tells me to go bath.
 She chose a beautiful nightie for me to change into before leaving the room.
 I took bath and walked out of the bathroom to change into the nightie. As I walked out of my room, I saw Alpha William sitting at the table. He looked unhappy. I stared at him quietly.
  He is wearing a white shirt, and white pants and his tie is hung loosely around his neck. His dark hair looked dishevelled. His hands resting on his legs with his head down. I cleared my throat and draw his attention. His green eyes bore to mine.
 “Bridget please come and sit down with me,” He said and pulled out a chair beside him.
 “Bridget, I want to apologize about this morning. I’m now not very good at controlling my anger. And when I think of what those people have done to you, it fills me with complete rage. But I want you to be aware that I’m not mad at you. I just want to show you we are not all the same. In fact, I have a surprise for you,” he said as he pushed a small pack to me.
  Inside it was the most beautiful phone I'd ever seen. His hand lingered on mine and he leaned in, brushing his hand on my cheek.
 Our eyes linked with each other. He tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear and then lean in even closer so that I can feel his hot breath on my face.
   His lips graze mine as his hand slides to my thigh. My breathing quickened as he trails his hand up my leg. His lips press into mine and his other hand held my neck. Oh! he wants me and there is nothing I can do.
 But I’m not prepared for this yet. I don’t want this. I want to run away and hide but instead, I just closed my eyes.
  When I opened my eyes a few minutes later, Alpha William had his hands on my shoulders with a scared look in his eyes.
  “Bridget, are you alright? Your eyes turned crimson and it was like you had been frozen. What happened?” He’s so scared.
 “Oh! It happens sometimes. When I get scared or if...” I trailed off not wanting to say what was on my mind.
 “If something happens to you...,” he said looking sad.
  “Bridget, you have to inform me. Do you experience anything when I come in contact with you?” He is looking into my eyes for something. I shift my eyes to the ground. He sighs and hands me the phone.
  “It’s yours to do anything you. I have added my number in case you need anything. I also added Daniella and Liam's numbers too.”
 “What about me?” Daniella asks walking into the room.
 “I gave Bridget a smartphone and programmed your number in it. Can you please show her how to use it,” he said, turning to Daniella. He looks rejected. Am I rejecting him? He looked at me again and laughed but he’s broken, I can tell.
  And it hurts me so much. . . I can feel his pain. Why...? How can I feel his pain?
  Daniella dragged me to the couch and searched for something to watch. “Daniella, can you tell me more about the mate bond?” I asked and she stops to stare at me.
 “Your mother did not tell you anything about it? Or your father?” she asked. I shook my head.
 “Well, the mate bond is precious to all we, wolves. The moon goddess chooses the perfect mate for you. You both share a soul. When you two find each other, it is like being complete. You will be drawn to one another and will be able to feel each other’s feelings too. Your wolves can also communicate and when the bond is complete, they can even discover you,” she explained.
 She goes on and tells the story of how she located Liam and how they couldn’t keep their hands off each other. We discussed for a few hours until she plays a movie and I doze off.
 A few minutes later, I could feel someone carrying me and then putting me in bed gently.
 “Good night, sweetheart,” I heard him say faintly. And that was when he appeared again. His breath smells like sour liquor. He is holding me down, trying to stop me from escaping.
 “Oh little mouse, where will you go?” He hissed. “Be a good little sl*t and be still.” I retracted from his touch and he hits me across the face.
  He grabbed my throat and squeezed it, literally choking me. If he doesn’t stop squeezing... This is it. I’m going to die. 'Please let me rest in peace,' I thought.
