Bad Love: An Alpha's Regret

Chapter 96

I spin and manage to catch her face.

She’s shifting and her canines are long and sharp. She snaps

at my face, but I force her jaws away.

Her claws go for my eyes and face but I sweep out her legs. and when she goes down, I dive for the

gun sitting on my bedside table. I grab it and slam into the ground, but I bring up the weapon and aim

as I spin.

I never get the chance to fire off a shot.

Liam has Marla by the throat. And Aaron is already in the room. He’s lifting me up and physically

blocking me from them with his body.

It happens so fast.

I’m shoved behind him.

Liam doesn’t ask questions or try to get a sense of the situation. He snaps Marla’s neck and then

tosses her body

toward our feet.

“How the hel l did you know to come running, huh, mutt?”

Aaron asks.

“Aaron! This is my brother. Leave him out of it.” I shove him aside so I can take in the scene. “I’m just

wondering how the two of you made it up the stairs and into the room so fast. Not

sure how you fit.”

Aaron snorts.

Liam squats and grabs Marla’s lifeless face. “We were watching you, Aaron. And it’s not like I’ve been

avoiding my sister. I’ve kept her in my line of sight all night. When I saw her head upstairs. And you

followed, I came immediately.”

“Shove her in the trunk,” I say.

Both males stare at me like I’ve lost my mind. Then Aaron

smiles appreciatively. “That’s my girl.”

“Oh sh ut it. This is my ceremony party. I’m not marring it with a

murder attempt and I sure as hel l am not advertising that my

brother’s girlfriend tried to kil l me.”

“Brian’s girlfriend,” Aaron says.

“What?” I scratch my head.

He nods toward Marla’s body. “She was dating Brian. The wolf that abducted you.” He looks at Liam.

“When did you two take

up together? This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“A couple of months ago.”

“Interesting. Could be they were eyeing up your pack for a

while then.”

I think about it for a minute. If what Aaron says is true, then Pack Roberts is more vulnerable than

anyone realized.

“Have your men bring the trunk out at the end of the party. We’ll take out the trash,” Aaron says.

I shake my head. “Who talks like that? It’s like casting out of a Hollywood action flick.”

He smirks. “Keeps you amused.”

Liam is glancing between us.

“What?” I ask him.

“The two of you… your relationship is interesting.”

Aaron crosses his arms. “Just what were you anticipating?”

Liam shrugs. “I don’t know. You both ha te each other and yet you banter. He kept you prisoner and

resented the marriage, yet he’s here and sending gifts like it’s your birthday.” He turns

to me. “And you keep acting like you ha te him, but you light up when he comes into the room.”

I clear my throat. “Why don’t you head down to the party,

brother? If anyone asks, we’ll just say Marla went home early.”

Liam nods.

“You should go too, Aaron,” I tell him.

He purses his lips.

Liam heads out the door and quietly closes it behind him.

I point to the shredded shoulder of my outfit and the icing that’s still smeared on my outfit. “I need to

change clothes.”

Now, he smiles fully.
