Bad Love An Alpha’s Regret

LEAH

I wake up in Aaron’s huge bed at the Rathborn mansion.

My whole body hurts, but I can feel a new strength to my wolf

She is Alpha now, and it’s like I went from driving a tiny compact sedan to some kind of super powerful truck.

She has powers that are nothing short of amazing and she instinctively knows how to use them.

I’m in awe of her, and once again grateful that I even got to have her, after so many years of thinking I never would have a wolf of my very own, only to discover the travesty of my father binding her when I was young

I can’t believe I’ve regained Alpha powers.

At least this time it didn’t feel like it was going to kill me. It was painful and unpleasant, yes, but not absolutely agonizing.

Except this time, I’m Alpha to a pack I don’t even know, and I have no idea if they’ll even accept me as pack leader.

I sit up and see someone has placed a crib in one corner of the

room

Immediately, I get up and rush over, only to be disappointed when I find it empty.

I hurry out of Aaron’s room and head downstairs.

When I get to the bottom of the steps, I hear the sound of Aaron’s laughter.

It’s a sound I’ve heard rarely-Aaron has always been so serious, not that I can blame him considering how his life unfolded-but I don’t think I’ve ever heard Aaron sound as carefree as he does with whatever he found so funny just now

I follow the sound, until I arrive at the library

I push open the door and walk in to find Aaron lying on his back on the soft rug in front of the hearth.
