Bad Love: An Alpha's Regret

Chapter 74

“What do you want to do, Boss?”

James is eyeing Tobin’s retreating form with the same mixture of fury and concern that I am.

I take a moment to think things through.

Could Tobin ki ll Leah?

Of course he could, without sprouting a strand of fur. But to do so alone. On Roberts packlands. Amid

her pack whilst he is surrounded by enemies.

“I don’t think he’s going to make a play for her.” At least not today.

“So let me ask again,” James says. “What do you want to do, Boss?”

What I want to do, and what I can do at the moment, are two very different things.

“We go back and regroup.” I have no intention of leaving Leah here. She’s a lamb awaiting slaughter. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Her brother isn’t up to the task of protecting her. I don’t think any of her pack is.

But it pains me.

It physically pains me to walk away.

My wolf is clawing at my insides, a vicious assault on my mind and body, his way of punishing me for

choosing to go.

“Ease up!” I bark at him.

“James, get Geralt on the phone. I want diagnostics on every facet of Pack Roberts. And every

member in existence.”

He gets back behind the wheel, and I take a few moments more to scan the landscape. There’s a

sense of foreboding I can’t

escape.

Cl ouds gather overhead.

Vast dark cl ouds that have lightning crackling in the distance.

Leah told me to leave.

And for the first time, there is no way I can keep her with me.

“We should go,” James says.

As my beta, he’s likely reading my mood.

I’ve never been so angry.

Leah might think this is over. That she’s seen the last of me. But what she did today, rejecting and

pushing me away…

There’s going to be a price for it.
