Bad Love: An Alpha's Regret

Chapter 118

Within the hour, I’m airborne.

A wolf named Heath is our pilot and his confident and easy demeanor made the flight a breeze. Wheels

up to wheels down, we’re in Silicon Valley in under two hours. The

corporation is a short ride from the airport and Liam has

arranged to have a limousine waiting for us.

I play with the moonstone pendant Aaron gave me on the

drive.

When I realize what I’m doing, I glance up. Liam is frowning at

1. me.

I inwardly sigh.

He’ll never compromise or want to preserve the peace with

Aaron.

I get it.

I wasn’t so young that I forgot the lives lost. So many people

grieving.

My mom died because of the war.

“You sure you want to do this?” Liam asks.

I’m taken aback by his question.

I mean…“Liam, this is our pack’s company. And if we lose it…”

He glances out the window.

I’m not interested in all the fancy modern buildings or the small houses stacked on top of each other

that cost millions of

dollars. I’m focused on him.

“We need Roberts Corp to succeed.”

He nods but doesn’t look at me. When we reach the headquarters, he gets out first and holds his hand

out to help me out of the vehicle. Liam leads the way into the building.

I have notes and thoughts of what I want to say and what I

want to do.

But I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that part of me is fixated on Aaron. Is he here? And why does my heart

race when I think about seeing him?

AARON

“Where the hell is she?”

Cedric drags in a deep breath, like I can’t tell that he’s

exasperated.

We’ve been here an hour already.

The penthouse suite of Roberts Corporation is quite nice. It’s entire walls of glass with views spanning

out to the city and

sightlines to the other major tech companies in the area.

Pack Roberts had once been on the cutting edge of technology. Stocks had been coveted and they’d

been poised

to make huge strides in the digital markets.

But somewhere along the way, that passion for innovation

died.

The engineers stopped looking forward and got complacent. In the span of a few short years, what was

a billion dollar company was devalued significantly.

I eye the seven people seated around the conference table. They all look exceptionally anxious. The

two wolves among

them…even more so.

I smell their sweat and fear.

Their greed.

As I’ve been buying up the shares of Roberts Corp it was always with an eye toward the future, but Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

there isn’t an engineer among these entitled bastards, they don’t know how to roll up their sleeves and

do the work. While they may have

contributed to the success during the formative years, they’ve grown lax since.

I’m not sure if they realize that I hold the controlling shares.

I’m successful enough and run in the same circles, that they’d know my capabilities outside of this

boardroom.

But…this isn’t about me.

For now, anyway.

I rub my chest. My wolf is stirring.

It only takes a beat for me to know why.

Leah.

She’s coming toward me…
