Bad Love: An Alpha's Regret (Leah and Aaron) novel Chapter 266

Chapter 266 

AARON 

Another day has gone by, and I’m aware of the minutes 

trickling away like sands draining rapidly through an 

hourglass. 

The final moments of my life are running away from me while I’m stuck in this cell, and I don’t even know when it’s all going to be over, only that Karolina said they’d moved up the 

execution date. 

Axel and I have talked escape plans, but I know it’s more for distraction than any real ability to be able to do anything. 

Axel says he’s tried to escape several times in several different ways, so those plans go out the window right away. 

Maybe there’s a chance I could fight my way out. 

I have the power of three Alphas, I could probably get pretty 

damned far. 

But there’s any number of Enforcer wolves and regular Council members between me and freedom, and despite my 

abilities, I can still be killed. 

At this point, trying to escape seems like it would only hasten my inevitable death, and the Council are known to be vindictive. The last thing I’d want is my escape attempt 

somehow coming back on Ethan or my pack, leaving them 

vulnerable to be punished by the Council for something they didn’t even have a part in. 

I’m already worried about how they’re going to fare under whatever new Alpha they get once I’m gone. 

Late that day, the doors open and Samsen comes strutting in, 

along with a dozen Enforcers. 

Clearly they’re not taking any chances with me, and are ready to stop me with extreme force if I so much as look like I’m 

going to try anything. 

“Samsen,” I say snidely from where I’m sitting on my cot, not even bothering to rise. 

He doesn’t deserve the respect of me meeting him on my feet. “To what do I owe the non–pleasure of this visit?” 

“It’s time for your blood donation,” Samsen says, motioning to one of the Enforcers who is holding a tray of equipment 

needed to draw blood. 

“I’m sorry, my what now?” I asked, even though I heard him 

correctly and already knew this was coming since Karolina told me. “I’m not donating anything.” 

Samsen looks pissy about this, but motions the Enforcer 

forward to open the cell door. 

Now, I do get to my feet. But I cross my arms and widen my 

stance, letting Alpha aggression roll off me and making it clear nobody better touch me until I’m good and ready. 

“Tell me which three Council members are getting my Alpha powers, and I’ll think about cooperating.” 

“I don’t have time for your games, Alpha Rathborn!” Samsen 

snaps impatiently. “Cooperate, or we’ll be forced to give you a 

wolfsbane sedative.” 

“It’s a simple question,” I reply in a deceptively mild voice, 

glaring at the Enforcer who is edging into my cell. 

It’s clear he wants to run as far away from me as fast as 

possible. Sweat dots his brow. But he also knows he can’t defy Samsen without serious consequences. 

“Just tell me who, and it’ll make all this much easier,” I continue 

after a moment. 

Samsen huffs in anger. 

“Myself, Karolina and Petyr,” he answers angrily. “Happy 

now?”
