Bad Love An Alpha’s Regret

Adam is staring at me expectantly, waiting me for me to agree to his outlandish plan to kill my mate.

Even if I didn’t love Aaron, I still wouldn’t want him dead.

And I think now that even if I’d never met Aaron, I don’t think Adam and I would have suited each other. I don’t think I could have ever felt anything beyond friendship toward him.

I definitely wouldn’t have ever felt as strongly about Adam as he seems to feel about me.

But I can’t tell him any of that.

I have no idea how he might react if I reject him outright.

Probably not very well, if he’s unhinged enough to steal a baby and see things between us in a way that’s completely removed from reality.

“So Leah,” he says, smiling, clearly waiting for an answer from me. “What do you say? It won’t take much to set up. I’ve already made several different plans of how we can kill Aaron and make it look like an accident. That’s one true benefit of becoming a doctor, understanding the human body in a way most people never will. It’s actually amazing how simple it is to kill people.”

My stomach is churning and I feel sick.

Adam has been making plans to kill my mate like it’s no big deal.
