Bad Love: An Alpha's Regret (Leah and Aaron) novel Chapter 237

Chapter 237-
Adam is staring at me expectantly, waiting me for me to agree to his outlandish plan to kill my mate.
Even if I didn’t love Aaron, I still wouldn’t want him dead.
And I think now that even if I’d never met Aaron, I don’t think Adam and I would have suited each other. I don’t think I could have ever felt anything beyond friendship toward him.
I definitely wouldn’t have ever felt as strongly about Adam as he seems to feel about me.
But I can’t tell him any of that.
I have no idea how he might react if I reject him outright.
Probably not very well, if he’s unhinged enough to steal a baby and see things between us in a way that’s completely removed from reality.
“So Leah,” he says, smiling, clearly waiting for an answer from me. “What do you say? It won’t take much to set up. I’ve already made several different plans of how we can kill Aaron and make it look like an accident. That’s one true benefit of becoming a doctor, understanding the human body in a way most people never will. It’s actually amazing how simple it is to kill people.”
My stomach is churning and I feel sick.
Adam has been making plans to kill my mate like it’s no big deal.
I have to get myself and Ethan out of here.
Who knows what will happen if Aaron turns up?
“Adam, I can see how you’ve done all this to help me,” I begin, even though the words make me want to throw up. “But it’s all been a lot, you know? I didn’t even know Ethan was still alive until a few short hours ago. I’ve never met him before now. I really think I’d just like to take him home, then you and I can meet up on our own tomorrow or something, to figure out the rest.”
Adam’s eyes narrow as he looks at me, and I can see him weighing the sincerity of my words.
“I really do appreciate you saving my son,” I tack on, trying to sound convincing and not like I’m lying to his face.
It seems to work, as Adam nods.
“Yes, I knew you’d see things my way once I returned your son to you”
I can’t think of a response to that, but then it doesn’t seem to matter as there’s some kind of commotion happening outside.
“Now what?” Adam mutters impatiently.
He takes out his cell phone as if he’s going to call someone, but then one of t the Havelock wolves comes running into the room.
“We’re under attack!” the wolf says, panting from however far he ran
“What do you mean?” Adam demands.
“There’s at least three packs of wolves out there,” the other wolf answers. They stormed our pack land and advanced on the house. We tried to stop them, but we were outnumbered.”
“Who the hell is attacking us so brazenly?” Adam shouts, but I can see in his fury that he already knows the answer to that question.
It is kind of obvious, after all.
“It’s Alpha Rathborn,” the wolf answers. “He’s leading his own pack, as well as Roberts and Leithrow wolves.”
“I can’t believe he thinks he can get away with this!” Adam snarls “Call the Council for reinforcement. This is an act of aggression, if not outright war,”
“Of course, but the Council wolves won’t get here in time,” the wolf answers reluctantly. “They’re almost at the house, and Aaron declared he planned to kill you himself for taking his son.”
I automatically hold Ethan closer, scared that Adam will change his mind about handing him over to me, and want him back to use as a bargaining chip..
“We’ll see about that,” Adam says menacingly. “Tell Aaron to order his wolves to stand down. If he wants me to face him, I will ”
From the light in Adam’s eyes, I can tell he’s got something planned.
Something up his sleeve, some way in which he thinks he can easily beat Aaron, even though my mate has the power of three Alphas.
I can’t let that happen, but with Ethan in my arms, I also can’t physically intervene.
I see Adam has brought Ethan’s car carrier with him when he took my son from Aaron’s remote cabin, so I take Ethan over and buckle him in where I know he’ll be safe, and then set the carrier in a secure corner, before turning back to where Adam and the wolf are finishing their conversation.
“Go,” Adam says “Tell him before he kills any more Havelock wolves.”
“Yes, Alpha,” the guy says with a half bow, before turning to stride out of the room.
My blood runs cold as I look at Adam with new eyes and the pieces fall into place.
“Oh my go d, you killed Tobin.”
