Bad Love: An Alpha's Regret (Leah and Aaron) novel Chapter 155

Chapter 155
SIX MONTHS AGO
I wake with a start, my heart jacked up, panic coursing through my blood, my wolf howling to be released so we can continue shredding our enemies.
Except I have to save her.
Leah.
She is my world, and I refuse to let her di e.
I will shred the Grim Reaper himself with my claws and my fangs if that’s what it takes.
However, I blink, recognizing the medical annex of my own packlands in Montana.
The sight clashes confusingly with my last memory of being in that warehouse and following Leah into the maws of death in a desperate last-minute attempt to save her.
I survived, somehow, when I expected death.
Now that the fight is over and I am faced with the cold light of day, I can’t believe the choices I made.
How I did the one thing I’d always vowed not to do.
Why I never planned to mate her-besides the fact she didn’t have her own wolf
I put the life and fate of one woman over myself and my pack.
Above my responsibilities as Alpha.
Above the people who depend on me for their life and safety.
What would have become of both the Roberts and Rathborn packs if both Leah and I had perished in that warehouse?
However, the knowledge that I’d been about to lose her had somehow overridden every commonsense I’d ever possessed.
But what of Leah?
As if by magic, thoughts of her make me aware of this tether binding the heart and soul of my wolf.
I realize with a start that I can sense her.
I can sense her wolf.
She is indeed alive, but weak, and nearby.
I determinedly climb out of bed, even though my legs protest holding me upright.
I rip at the cannula and various cards attached to me, until I’m free, setting off all kinds of alarms.
I force my legs to take me toward the doorway of the room I’m in, however before I can get there, the door opens. Both Adam and my own pack doctor come rushing in.
“Aaron!” my physician admonishes. “You shouldn’t be out of bed.”
“I need to see her,” I growl.
My wolf is pushing and pushing and pushing me to go find her. Sight her, scent her, touch her, calm this wildness burning within
US.
“Aaron, what you did-” Adam begins. “No wolf has ever done that before. It shouldn’t have even been possible. You and Leah should both be dead. We don’t know what the long term consequences will be-
“I don’t care!” I roar, and I know my eyes must be glowing, my claws lengthening and my fangs threatening to emerge.
This.
This was why I abhorred the idea of mating.
I resent some force outside of my control dictating my actions.
My wolf, however, wants to embrace it wholeheartedly.
I press my hand into my chest, willing my wolf to calm the he ll down before one of the doctors decides we need to be restrained.
“Just let me see Leah. Please,” I try in a more reasonable tone.
The doctors share a look, before returning their attention to me.
“Only for a few minutes,” Adam tells me, like he has any authority over what I do.
I now possess the power of three Alphas. Even most of the wolves on the council would be hard pressed to stop me if I decided to go through them.
Adam might as well be an ant
But I don’t tell him this.
I simply nod and let him take me across the hall into Leah’s room.
