Bad Love: An Alpha's Regret

Chapter 28

AARON

“Why the he ll is he calling you now?” I demand.

Leah hurries over and grabs the phone from my hand. She looks almost relieved. “It’s just Adam,

Aaron. He is a doctor. He’s only checking up on me.”

“Why all of a sudden?”

She blanches like she’s hiding something. We have doctors and physicians aligned with my pack and

there is no cause for her to be seeking out Adam. Unless…..

“How long have you been involved with him?” I growl.

“What? It’s not like that. I’m not seeing Adam or cheating or whatever you’re implying.”

“He’s calling your phone. He showed up at my home-twice. You want to explain why he has suddenly

taken interest in your well-being? And can you honestly say that he isn’t after you, or encouraging you

to leave me?”

She bites her lip.

That’s what I thought. I’m going to rip Adam’s arm off.

And I’m going to make sure he can’t come within an inch of Leah

again.

Leah shakes her head. “You resent that there is a person that actually cares about me and worries

about me. You want to say that I’m being unfaithful. What about you, huh? What about Jessica!?”

I scoff. “This isn’t about Jessica. What aren’t you telling me, Leah?”

“Nothing.”

The phone rings again. I see Adam’s name on the screen. “Answer the call.”

“No.” She drops Adam into voicemail.

“You do realize, I can call him myself.”

She shrugs. “And what will that accomplish? He has no loyalty to you, He isn’t beholden to answer your

questions. Even if there was some wolf code-which there isn’t since our packs ha te each other-there is

still a little thing called Doctor-Patient Confidentiality,”

So I am on the right track, she is hiding something and it ties to her health.

“Leah, I don’t want to fight. Just talk to me.”

Her big eyes fill with uncertainty.

“You are my wife. Let me be a husband to you.”

It’s the closest thing to a declaration I’ve ever made.

She su cks in a deep breath. “You don’t mean that.”

I step closer to her. “What if I did?”

She’s beautiful, this woman. Strong and fierce. Selfless. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

She’s mine.

And I’m not about to let some other male take her from me.

I run my hand down the side of her face and tip up her chin. “Look at me.”

She does. Her eyes search mine desperately.

“What if things were different between us, would you want

that?”

Her eyes

brim with tears. “It’s all I ever wanted, Aaron.”

I think maybe, I’ve always known that.

But be it her pride or mine, we’ve never talked about these things.

She’s never given me the words, and it compels

you love me, Leah?”
