Bad Love An Alpha’s Regret

Chapter 279
AARON
All of my senses are on high alert as we leave the house and
hurry down the block to where James parked the SUV.
It’s like I can feel the threat of Vampires dragging over my
skin.
I can’t believe Leah and James risked coming here to rescue
me.
Actually, I can’t believe Karolina was foolish or desperate enough not to be discovered by her fellow Councilmembers stealing all of my Alpha power for herself, that she would risk.
coming into Vampire territory.
This isn’t like some bit of Twilight, with some peaceful co-existence ala the Cullens. We’re sworn enemies, and our species staunchly avoid each other.
We jump into the SUV and Leah insists on driving since she’s in
the best condition out of us all.
James gets into the backseat and immediately shifts to finish healing his head trauma that’d looked really nasty. Probably
Neither me nor Leah say anything as she starts driving, navigating out of the suburban streets to leave the run-down neighborhood and Vampire territory behind us, both of us tool

on edge until we know we’re in safer lands.
A while later, Leah suddenly pulls off the highway into one of those picnic rest stops. There aren’t any other vehicles parked there right now, so the place is empty.
Leah pulls the car into a parking space and cuts the engine.
“Leah, is everything okay?” I ask, wondering why she’s stopped so suddenly.
She doesn’t answer me, but wordlessly climbs out of the SUV
and walks around to the back.
Confused, I climb out and go to join her.
I find her standing there, her head bowed into her hands, and
her shoulders shaking as she cries.
“Leah!” I say in alarm, quickly stepping in to pull her tightly into my arms. “What’s happening? What’s wrong?”
She buries her face into my neck, and my skin is instantly wet
and scalded by the heat of her tears.
“They told me you were dead, Aaron. I thought you were gone. I thought Ethan and I were somehow going to have to live our lives without you. Do you have any idea-”
She breaks off then, crying too hard to say anything else.
“Yeah, actually, I do,” I tell her. “They told me the same thing, that you didn’t survive breaking the mating bond. I thought you were dead as well.”
This seems to quiet some of her tears, and she looks up at me, lashes damp and sparkling with tears, her hair tousled
and my entire body aches as I wonder if she’s ever looked as
beautiful as she does in this moment.
“They did?” she whispers in confusion. “Why would they do
that?”
“I don’t know,” I tell her, running my hand over her soft, silky curls. “Maybe they knew we wouldn’t stop coming for each
other, that we wouldn’t let anything or anyone stand in the way of us being together.”
“It’s true,” she replies, smiling through her tears. “I would never
stop coming for you. Nothing in this life or the next can keep
us apart.”
G d, I love this woman.
