Bad Love: An Alpha's Regret

Chapter 212

PRESENT DAY

The hours since I left Leah sleeping in our bed have dragged. I didn’t want to leave her, but there are

loose ends I need to tie up and I still haven’t completely figured out how I’m going to make everything

work.

I’m determined, if nothing else.

The door across the room opens and Lillian steps out.

When I see her walking toward me, I can’t help but smile, and my day improves by about a million

percent.

I hold out my arms, and she passes Ethan to me.

My son.

He’s just woken up from a nap, so he’s all smiles and baby gurgles, his little legs kicking and his arms

waving excitedly in

the air.

When everything else in this world feels terrible, all I have to do is look at him and remember why I’m

putting myself-and my mate-through hell.

I know Leah is going to be hurt and angry when she discovers the truth.

The fact that our son survived was never a truth I planned to keep from her at all, and I know with each

passing day, the lie. becomes bigger and more terrible for all involved.

But I hope once she comes to understand everything, she’ll agree with what I did.

Maybe even be grateful for it.

Lillian goes to make Ethan a bottle, and feeding him is one of my favorite things to do.

The way he stares up at me with those big eyes-identical to his mother-I fall in love with him over and

over again.

Right now, this world is a dangerous place for all of us, but I’m getting closer to ending the threat once

and for all.

perspectives.

It’s the most amazing thing I could have ever imagined.

And after last night with Leah, I’m even starting to think about

the possibility of Ethan having little brothers or sisters.

Maybe even sometime soon.

But I refuse to allow my children to live under a cloud of

threat.

I have the power of three Alphas now.

Whoever has been striking against me has no idea of the wrath they’ve ignited in my soul.

I will take down my enemies.

Even if I have to start a war and destroy the Council to do it.
