Bad Love An Alpha’s Regret

“No!” I shout, stepping in front of Leah as if I can protect her from this “Leah had nothing to do with it. Our son needs his mother. You have no right to detain her as well!”

Meanwhile, Petyr is making some kind of call on his phone.

“F uc k you, Samsen,” I say crudely, making the Elder look even more unimpressed. “My wife is innocent in all this. So no, I’m not going to stand calmly by while you detain her. I’ll go with you for this farce of an investigation and trial, but you leave Leah out of it. You’ve got no proof she did anything wrong.”

Samsen arches an eyebrow and gives a cynical laugh. “No proof? She has Tobin’s Alpha powers. What other proof could we possibly need?”
