Bad Love: An Alpha's Regret (Leah and Aaron) novel Chapter 212

Chapter 212
PRESENT DAY
The hours since I left Leah sleeping in our bed have dragged. I didn’t want to leave her, but there are loose ends I need to tie up and I still haven’t completely figured out how I’m going to make everything work.
I’m determined, if nothing else.
The door across the room opens and Lillian steps out.
When I see her walking toward me, I can’t help but smile, and my day improves by about a million percent.
I hold out my arms, and she passes Ethan to me.
My son.
He’s just woken up from a nap, so he’s all smiles and baby gurgles, his little legs kicking and his arms waving excitedly in
the air.
When everything else in this world feels terrible, all I have to do is look at him and remember why I’m putting myself-and my mate-through hell.
I know Leah is going to be hurt and angry when she discovers the truth.
The fact that our son survived was never a truth I planned to keep from her at all, and I know with each passing day, the lie. becomes bigger and more terrible for all involved.
But I hope once she comes to understand everything, she’ll agree with what I did.
Maybe even be grateful for it.
Lillian goes to make Ethan a bottle, and feeding him is one of my favorite things to do.
The way he stares up at me with those big eyes-identical to his mother-I fall in love with him over and over again.
Right now, this world is a dangerous place for all of us, but I’m getting closer to ending the threat once and for all.
Being a father has put so many things into different
perspectives.
It’s the most amazing thing I could have ever imagined.
And after last night with Leah, I’m even starting to think about
the possibility of Ethan having little brothers or sisters.
Maybe even sometime soon.
But I refuse to allow my children to live under a cloud of
threat.
I have the power of three Alphas now.
Whoever has been striking against me has no idea of the wrath they’ve ignited in my soul.
I will take down my enemies.
Even if I have to start a war and destroy the Council to do it.
