Bad Love: An Alpha's Regret (Leah and Aaron) novel Chapter 202

Chapter 202
LEAN
I’m beginning to think I wildly miscalculated with this plan, and thinking I’ll have to send the emergency signal text for James to come and get me out of this situation with Tobin.
I’ve been stalling and making small talk for what seems like ages, and Aaron still hasn’t replied to my message.
Tobin keeps offering me strong liquor-trying to get me drunk, or setting up the possibility to slip something into my drink-1 wouldn’t put it past him.
I think it’s time to cut my losses and run, but first I need to know if I can get any information out of him at all.
“I have a confession to make,” I finally tell him after I’ve exhausted every mundane topic I can think to mention.
“Oh yes?” Tobin asks lazily, swirling the golden liquid of the bourbon he’s drinking. “And what might that be, Luna Leah?”
“Liam brought me in on his secret project in the weeks before
he died.”
“I know,” Tobin replies, tossing back the liquor. “It was my idea.
I told him to.”
At this, I’m completely stumped.
never thought Tobin would admit to knowing about it, let alone telling me outright that he got Liam to bring me in.
Just how much power was Tobin wielding behind the scenes.
that I never knew about?
“Then you must know where the tech went,” I say straight out,
deciding the time for games is over.
However, disappointingly, Tobin shakes his head.
“The night Liam was killed, I went to the restricted floor to secure the project,” Tobin says, sitting forward on his chair. “But when I got there, the floor was empty. Everything was
gone. I think Liam had it all moved and secreted away before he was killed. I think he was planning to screw over me, and everyone else-including you.”
My first instinct is to deny my brother would ever do something like that.
But then I remember back to that final night.
When I’d seen the truth of him and what he felt toward me, my
marriage to Aaron and our innocent child.
I realize that I didn’t know my brother at all.
And the possibility that he moved and hid the Al tech before
he was killed is entirely feasible.
Now I’m torn.
I had almost convinced myself that Aaron was the one in possession of the tech, but this new information Tobin has shared puts things in a completely different perspective.
Before I can answer, however, the door suddenly bursts open, crashing into the wall with a loud bang.
1 look over to see Aaron filling the doorway, eyes glowing.
“Tobin, what are you doing with my mate?”
