Bad Love: An Alpha's Regret (Leah and Aaron) novel Chapter 73

Chapter 73 

There are three na ked women on my father’s bed. 

I don’t even see clothes anywhere else. So maybe they came straight in after the funeral ceremony? 

But that doesn’t seem right either. 

There are high heels on the floor and empty liquor bottles. Bras hanging from the bed posts and panties on the floor. 

And they’re moving. 

The na ked females, not their undergarments. 

Legs writhing. Bodies arching. 

I back up so quickly I slam into the wall. 

All at once they sit up and stare. Wolf eyes flash back at me. 

I’m not sure what they see. I’m in clothes better suited to a teenager. My hair is a mess. 

I’m their Alpha’s daughter. 

One of them lifts her head from between a brunette’s thighs. “Well… you’re Alpha now, right?” 

I nod. 

Shock keeps my feet rooted to the spot and my thoughts scrambled. 

The dark-haired girl looks me up and down. “So come in here and close the door, if you want to take your father’s place.”

We make it to the end of the long road off Roberts packlands before James slams on the brakes. 

I look up from my phone. “What the-?” 

“Yeah. Exactly.” James is out of the vehicle first and moving to intercept Tobin where he leans against a Maybach on the opposite side of the main road. 

I get out of the vehicle more slowly and scan the field behind him. Tobin appears to be alone, but that’s not to say a contingent of his pack aren’t nearby or already boxing us in. 

“You’re always so paranoid, Aaron.” 

I once watched this wolf slaughter three rogues and then go back to eating crepes. 

He’s… unpredictable. 

“It’s been a long time and now I’m seeing you twice in one day.” I glance over my shoulder. My other men are already positioned and guarding my back. “What’s up?” 

“You don’t really think they bought that whole spiel you tried at the Council meeting about her father and his embezzlement, do you?” 

I say nothing. 

He smirks. “Okay, let’s try this a different way… how do you think Karolina and I knew exactly where to be… and when?” 

My hackles rise. I’m pi ssed at Leah and there’s no way I’m going to just let her go. But I have to balance how much I let that 

show.

Something only has value if a person believes it does. 

And I’ve never given anyone any reason to think that my wife is of value to me. 

I learned that lesson from Alpha Roberts. It was his love and obsession with his true mate, Leah’s mother, that made him so 

vulnerable. 

In the end, she’d been his downfall. 

It was no different than with my own family. Only it was my father who paid the ultimate price for his love.
