Bad Love An Alpha’s Regret

Chapter 141

Chapter 141
I sit in the computer lab for another hour.
I find myself wanting to call Aaron to confront him. I should get those answers before tell him about the baby.
I dig out my phone and dial him.
He dumps me into voicemail. “In a meeting.”
Then a few seconds later: “U safe???”
“Fine.”l’text back.

There’s some truth to what Liam said.
Things might be good now, but they weren’t always.
And the only time things really changed was when I obtained some power of my own. Is Aaron only holding on now because I can finally be independent?

He’s quiet for a moment.

The note of concern and the endearment just make me doubt myself eyes. “Yeah. I’m good. Tired.”

“Let James bring you back. Get some rest.”
I have an overwhelming urge to cry.
There is so much we need to say.
And yet, much as it often does, it goes unsaid.
“I have to go,” he tells me.
“Sure. ‘Kay. Bye.”
I hang up.
Then I stare at my phone feeling lifeless.
“We’re thinking about closing up early tonight,” Dennis tells me as he approaches the area where I’m sitting. “Well, relatively speaking.”
