Chapter 200
The next morning I’m a bundle of energy, even though I sat up. most of the night mulling things over.
I came to the conclusion that I don’t want to reject Aaron and
break the mating bond.
But that means I need answers.
And then I need to try fixing things between us.
I down several cups of coffee and James makes a comment
about how buzzed I am.
After last night, he and I have come to a new understanding
with each other.
We can both admit that we’ve become closer, but nothing else
will ever come of that.
As for now, however, I have a plot to put in place that will hopefully kill two birds with one stone.

Because there was one thing I kept circling back around to during the dark hours of last night.
Aaron is definitely hiding something from me.
The Al weapons Roberts Corp was meant to hand over to the military is missing.
Aaron was the only one running Roberts Corp for months
while I was in a coma.

on?
Now, I realize it was foolish for me to take his word at face
value that he didn’t know about the tech until I told him.
I don’t know why-whether it’s simply the money or the tech itself he’s interested in-but now I think Aaron is the one who has the missing weapons system, with the possibility of Tobin being in possession of it coming in at a distant second.
One way or another, I’m going to prove it.
I think about tricking James to ditch him-once, that was the typical way I would have dealt with him, like that fateful day I went to the clinic and found out about the cancer-but then I
realize I don’t want to do that, and he deserves better.
