Chapter 238


    Adam smiles triumphantly at me.


    “It wasn’t my original n, I’ll admit. But I was at that factory, hiding in the background to make sure


    Tobin didn’t hurt you. I was happy to go along with the n to use you as bait to lure out Aaron so


    Tobin could kill him for his Alpha power, but I didn’t trust him not to kill you too. When I heard Tobin say


    All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    how he nned to mate you after Aaron was dead, that was when I realized Tobin was also standing in


    my way and needed to die. Not to mention his npletely failed and Aaron managed to escape.”


    Adam rolls his eyes, as if it was all a minor inconvenience.


    How can he not care about ying with people’s lives like that?


    How did I never realize he was so unhinged?


    I take a breath, steeling my determination.


    “Adam, I’m sorry, but whatever you’re nning, I can’t let you kill Aaron.”


    Adam stares at me in confusion, but it swiftly turns to anger.


    “You’re not seriously going to choose him over me, are you?” he demands, advancing toward me, his


    eyes shing with his wolf. “Leah, we’re meant to be together!”


    “No, Adam, we’re not,” I reply firmly. “Aaron is my husband and my mate. He’s the father of my son and


    I love him. Aaron is who I’m meant to be with.”


    Adam is infuriated, and stalks even closer still.


    Behind me, in the corner, Ethan starts to cry in his carrier, as if sensing the tension, or the sudden


    Alpha aggression rolling off Adam


    Outside, the vicious sounds of wolves and men fighting have gotten louder.


    Aaron must be near now, but I can’t let him walk into danger. I’m sure Adam has something nefarious


    nned to kill Aaron in some dishonorable way.


    The easiest way to protect Aaron is to stop thus whole thing before he even gets here.


    I’m scared, but I won’t back downL


    Not if it means protecting my son and my mate.


    “I refuse to let him have you!” Adam yells furiously.


    He’s still several steps away when he lunges at me, and I don’t expect it, so I don’t react fast enough


    He wraps his hands around my throat and shoves me against the wall I struggle against him, but he


    has superior Alpha strength now.


    “If I can’t have you, then you leave me no choice, Leah,” he says, and even though he’s furious, there


    are tears forming in his eyes.


    He squeezes tighter and I can’t breathe any more. I’m getting dizzy.


    “This is all your fault,” he continues bing more upset. “I didn’t want to hurt you, but I won’t lose you


    to him. Not again”


    I fight harder, knowing that if I don’t do something, I’m going to lose this battle.


    My wolf fights to surface, her instincts screaming to do anything to keep us alive.


    My ws and fangs spring out, and I know my eyes must be glowing


    With myst shred of strength, I blindly reach out and sh my ws through flesh.
