Chapter 139
“How he’s using you. Aaron ha tes everything about Pack Roberts, Leah. And that
includes you…”
I su ck in a breath.
His words are like physical blows.
“Look,” he says. “I get it. You’re young. You think you’re in love. But what do you know about love? This
is f**kin’ Stockholm Syndrome-like 101 from a Psychology Textbook. You’ve built an obsession with
your captor because you’ve been with him for so long.
It’s not real.”
I fight the urge to cry.
Twill not let Liam see how his words affect me.
“You’re pretty,” Liam goes on. “And he’s a male. But he’ll stick his di ck in anything, sister. You’re not
special. Not to a monster like him. You’re an object. A possession.”
I’m gutted by his words.
Liam takes my hands. “I’m your brother. And love you. Dad loved you. It ki lls me. It makes me si ck
thinking of all things you’ve had to endure for us. It’s unforgivable.”
He kisses
my hands.
“I’m going to make it up to you. I promise. Once this Defense contract goes through, you won’t have to
go back to him. The paperwork has already been signed getting us back equal shares. With the money
from the DoD, we’ll have enough to start buying out his corporate holdings and we will level this ying

field. I swear it.”
I think I’m going to be si ck.
What Liam’s said.
What he’s proposing…
“You’re going to bring us back to war,” I tell him.
“No. I’m going to crush him and ensure your safety and the safety of Pack Roberts for
the next century.”
He pulls me to him in a hug. “I shouldn’t have let Dad pledge you.”
Is it guilt that is making him want topensate now? “I’m okay, Liam.” I’m better than okay. And I
have a baby. One who will bridge the peace between our packs.
I take my brother’s hand and put it on my stomach. “Liam… You don’t have to avenge me or risk
yourself or seek to crush anyone.”
“What do you mean?”
“We can have the peace we’ve been longing for. And we don’t have to fight it. I’m
pregnant. I’m having Aaron’s baby.”
