Bad Love: An Alpha's Regret (Leah and Aaron) novel Chapter 68

Chapter 68 

I hurry back into the communal hall, expecting all h ell to break loose. 

Aaron remains standing. He looks tense. 

Has he always been so big, so imposing? 

He’s huge and muscled and, da mn it, he’s handsome. His eyes light up when he sees me. Then he does a quick skim of me from head to toe as if to make sure I’m okay. 

“I’m fine,” I tell him. 

It’s more than I can say of my brother’s packmates. Er, my packmates. 

At least four males are sprawled on the floor. 

No one looks seriously injured, which is a blessing. But there are busted beer bottles and glasses. Poker chips and playing cards scattered around like confetti. 

Fighting here. Now. 

That’s a bad, bad idea. 

“Seriously Aaron!?” 

He tucks his hands in his pockets and looks sheepish. “They started it.” 

James snorts. He’s across the room, leaning against the wall, arms crossed. 

“I expect this of him,” I tell James. “But you know better.” 

He frowns and looks suitably chastised. 

“Walk with me, Aaron.” 

“Where are you going?” Liam asks. 

Marla stands beside him. Her arm through his. They aren’t blocking my way into the main portion of the house, but they are a unified front standing before me. 

“I’m going to my old bedroom. I need clothes. Is that a problem?” 

He shakes his head. “No. No. Of course not.” 

“If you need clothes, I can bring you some,” Marla offers. 

She’s all bo obs and probably a size three. 

Even weak and dying…I’ll never be that skinny. 

Aaron moves until his shoulder brushes against mine. He does this a lot, I’m realizing. He uses touch and nearness to …affect me. His wolf does it too.
