Bad Love: An Alpha's Regret (Leah and Aaron) novel Chapter 42

Chapter 42 

AARON 

I bought flowers. 

A bouquet of lilacs and lillies and a whole bu nch of other blooms that I don’t know the names of, but that are bright and cheerful. I don’t particularly like how strong they smell. 

When I knocked James out and left the mansion, I found myself driving back here. 

To Leah. 

I’ve been wrong about a lot of things with her. 

I know that. 

She deserves truth, if nothing else. 

And a man that needs to apologize, he shouldn’t come empty-handed. 

So… flowers. 

She’ll likely throw them back in my face, and rightfully so. I know she doesn’t want to see me, let alone speak to me, but there are things she doesn’t know. 

About my pack. 

About hers. 

About how much she means to me. 

“You’ve got a lot of nerve,” Adam says. He has two security guards behind him. They’re wolves. Roberts pack, I suspect, and they don’t appear shy about throwing down in this facility. 

I roll my shoulders. 

I’m itching to fight. 

Adam holds out his arms, blocking the guards from me. “We’re not doing this here. Leah’s been through enough. She needs to rest after her treatments-” 

“What treatments?” 

Adam snaps his mo uth sh ut. “You’re not welcome here. She doesn’t want to see you. This isn’t just a pack issue, it’s on record with the hospital, Aaron. You may have walked in like you own the place, but there are protocols and surveillance, and a whole slew of humans that work in this facility. You may be an Alpha on your lands, but that doesn’t matter here.” 

“I’m not here to make problems. I just want to talk to Leah. She deserves the truth.” 

“Yes.” Adam scoffs. “And you’ve had ten years to share it with her.” 

“I’m going to see my wife.” My implication is clear, no one is going to stop me 

The guards’ shoulders go up, almost like their inner wolves’ hackles are rising. 

“You’re going to let me say my piece, and then if Leah wants me gone, I’ll go.” 

Adam shakes his head. 

“Don’t make this hard, Adam.” 

I’m maybe a hundred feet from Leah’s room. I can see the female physician from earlier picking up a phone, probably to call security. She looks anxious and she’s shaking her head worriedly. 

“Call them off, Adam,” I warn him. “I swear if you block me from this, I’ll do everything in my power to make your life a living he ll.” 

“I can’t do that. I owe it to Leah to respect her wishes.” 

Part of me respects him for it. 

Somebody needs to defend her. I sure as he ll didn’t. 

My hands curl into fists…”If it is a fight you want…”
