Chapter 10

When I got out of bed, it was very late at night. I was wet and sweaty all over. I was afraid my heart would burst out of my chest because it was beating so fast. This happened at night once before, so I'll remember that Bridget had a bad dream. From the other room, I can feel her fear. I got up and went to see how she was doing. I found her sleeping again in the tub. I really want to pick her up and put her back to bed, but I decided not to. I don't understand why she spends the night in the bathtub. Is this the only place she knows that has protection? I can tell she can't do anything. My mind went back to the time I kissed her and she blanked out. Her body stiffened and her eyes turned purple. I didn't think having a partner would be like this. She can't even feel the bond with her mate. I went back to my room to sleep when I saw that she was fast asleep. Before I got up, I tossed and turned for a few hours. I put on clothes and went to the gym. I tried to forget about everything. Gamma said to Alpha, "The room has been redecorated the way you asked." Lucas's thoughts connected to mine. He waited for a moment before saying, "Alpha, I was wondering if I could see her soon." "Many thanks, Lucas. "Give her a few more days to calm down." "Yes, Alpha. " After a few minutes, I was walking around the gym and wondering if she had already woken up. Before I go to work, I want to show her the new room. When I got home, it was dark and quiet, so I went to take a bath and will go check on her when I'm done. When I was done with my morning tasks in the toilet, I put on clothes and went to the kitchen. I saw her making tea at that time. When she saw me, she stopped. She asked, "Would you like some, Alpha?" I smiled at her and said, "Please call me William." "William, would you like some coffee?" She was happy. When she said my name for the first time, Mark purred in the back of my mind. "Thank you, but no. "Bridget, I have another surprise for you," I told her as her eyes jumped up to mine. "Come with me?" I went to the front door on walking. She seemed a little worried, but she still came after me. We're walking down the hall when we stop in front of a door. I asked with a sly smile, "Can you guess what's in this room?" She gave a head shake. "Let's find out then." *** Bridget's P.O.V *** He opened the door, and we walked into the most beautiful art gallery I have ever seen. There is a wall and windows that go from floor to ceiling. There are new paints and canvases. There is a desk for drawing and a couch that looked so cosy. As I kept walking from one side of the room to the other, I felt like a child carrying my favourite sweets. There is nothing wrong. I hear him laugh, which brings me back to him. He is just leaning against the wall and looking at me. I heard it then. I haven't heard that voice in a long time. She said, "Mate!" again in the back of my mind. *** William P.O.V *** "Wolf! I can smell the wolf in her! She's told us she wants us! In my mind, Mark growled again. I'm watching her as she looks around the room at all the things. "Daniella told me that you like to paint, so I had them build you this room. You can come here and paint whatever you want whenever you want. If there is something else you want, you can go get it or ask Dan if he can get anything. I gave her a credit card and said, "Oh, and here, take this." She went over to it and took it. I told her, "You can use it for anything you want." "Thank you, William," she said as she looked into my eyes and put her hand lightly on mine. I can feel tingles in my hand. I saw her cringe as if she could also feel it. But it went away as quickly as it came, and she started to walk backwards. *** Bridget P.O.V *** What happened? Was it electricity from the air? Daniella told me about a mate connection that might be the cause. "Well, I hope the lodge is great. I need to go to work now. He asked hopefully, "Would you like to have dinner with me tonight?" I laughed and said, "Yes, I'd like that." "Bridget, I'll see you tonight." After saying this, he left. When I got back, I grabbed my coffee and sat down in my studio... I started having a lot of ideas and plans for things I wanted to do. Daniella sent me a mind link to let me know she'd be here to help me get ready for my date and look at any art I'd made. I got to work and didn't stop for the rest of the day. Then someone rang the bell, Daniella was the one. "Hey, hun! Oh! She looked around and said, "This place is beautiful!" "Have you been here all day? "It's already about 4 o'clock," she said as she looked at all my work. She stops in front of a painting. "This is lovely, Hun. "Where is this from?" She wonders. "Oh, that's my wolf Deli," I said. It's a painting of a wolf with purple eyes that is all white. "Is this wolf yours? "Hun, she's so pretty!" says Daniella. I then tell her that I heard from her today, and she said that William was her son. She seems to be very happy about that. "Well, we should be all set for your date with your sweetheart tonight." "But you've been here for so long. "You need to take a break now," she says as she drags me out of my studio and laughs at how I look. She pushes me into the toilet to take a bath while she chooses what to wear. I was in the shower for a long time trying to get the paint off of me. Then she tells me to sit down and begins to do my hair. She put makeup on my face after she was done styling my hair. Goddess! I don't even know who I am. Then I put on the beautiful dress she had picked out for me. She chose a short dark red dress with tight long sleeves. It looks like the colour she gave my hair. She made me wear red blazing heels. Then, from the living room, we heard William calling. . . . .......
