Chapter 220
AARON
Leah is immediately infuriated when I tell her my suspicions
about Tobin.
This only confirms my belief that Tobin is the Councilmember
who is out to get me.
What other possible reason could he have in Leah, besides her usefulness as a tool against me?
“But why?” Leah questions, which is something I’ve asked myself a million times.
I can only shrug in response. “Tobin is driven by his wolf more than any other member of the Council.
Maybe he simply thinks because of the power I now hold, I’m a threat to him, or any other member of
the Council, if I decided I wanted a seat. He simply wants to eliminate someone he sees as a true
rival.”
“That makes sense,” Leah replies with a nod. “Maybe I can find out something about his plans when I
go to meet him.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt these calm, yet determined words, my inner wolf growls protectively.
“Leah, you are not going to meet Tobin.”
It should go without saying. The risk is too high, and I refuse to let my mate and the woman I love walk
into certain danger.
However, Leah’s eyes narrow as she stares at me with a mulish
expression.
“This is a chance to turn the tables on Tobin and maybe get some information that could actually help
us. If Tobin is the one who’s been trying to ki ll you, then maybe he’s also the one who orchestrated the
attack that k illed our son. I also think he knows more about the Al tech than he’s letting on. Besides, if
we know it’s a trap, then it’s not really a trap any longer, is it?”
Damn my intelligent mate.
I can’t argue with any of what she’s just said.
Plus, she obviously knows how to word things in a way that will motivate me to do something about it.
“Do you even have a plan?” I ask her instead of answering her question. “Or you’re simply operating on
stubborn determination?”
At this, Leah smiles. But it’s a sly smile that tells me she’s about to attempt bending me to her will.
I can’t deny my willingness-mostly driven by my wolf wanting to please his mate-to give her whatever
she wants.
“Not yet,” she answers. “But obviously I’m not going alone like Tobin says. We’re a team, Aaron. In this
together. So let’s make our own plan. When it’s you and I against the world, then nothing will stand in
our way.”
“Very well,” I tell her, and I can see she’s surprised at how easily I agreed in the end.
It’s mostly because I’m more motivated than ever to see this thing finished once and for all. To
eliminate any and all threats to my family.
Last night, I was given a glimpse of what my life could look like with Leah if not for the peril hanging
over us, threatening to crush anything good left in our lives at any moment.
I want more nights like last night.
I want our entire life to be happy and carefree, the way Leah and Ethan deserve.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAnd I know Leah is more than capable of standing in this fight with me as an equal.
It’s part of why she’s my mate, after all.
So we start planning, eventually calling in James to consult with him about how to utilize our men
effectively.
It’s going to look like Leah is going to the meeting alone, just
like Tobin instructed.
But in reality, myself and a contingent of Rathborn and Roberts wolves will be waiting in the wings to
protect her and take down Tobin the second he tries anything.
Once the plan is fully fleshed out, and everyone know the part they’re going to play, James leaves
again, and then I hold my. hand out to Leah.
We’ve got some time before we have to leave for the address Tobin provided somewhere in the city,
and I know the perfect way to spend that time.
Leah se nds me a questioning look as she trustingly places her hand in mine.
“Where are we going?” she asks, a smile chasing over her beautiful features.
“Shift with me. Let’s run together.
