Bad Love an Alpha’s Regret by Elise Sinclair

Chapter 239

AARON

We’ve slaughtered our way through a good number of Havelock wolves when the Beta comes running out and yells at me that if I want to face Adam, I have to tell my own wolves to back down.

I send James a signal, and he takes care of it for me.

I didn’t want to come here and indiscriminately kill other wolves who are only acting on the misinformed orders of their Alpha, but at the same time, they stood between me and my mate and son, so I wasn’t about to show any mercy.

I follow the Beta past the line of injured and retreating wolves on both sides.

The Havelock pack have suffered more loss than my combined packs have.

Besides being outnumbered, it was clear the Havelock wolves weren’t as nearly well trained as my own packs, which surprised me a bit.

I would’ve thought Tobin ran a tight ship.

But then again, he was more feral, less in control of his wolf, and seemed preoccupied with the workings of the Council and his own power. Obviously, that’d resulted in his own pack being somewhat neglected.

I let the Beta escort me into Tobin’s mansion, even though I want to rush ahead.

Almost as soon as we’re inside, I hear the sound of Ethan crying, and I give up all pretenses of being civil

I shove the Beta aside and sprint, following both the sound and scent of Ethan until I reach a study.

I find Leah standing over Adam, his neck slashed open, while Leah’s claws and mouth are dripping with blood. She’s rubbing her own neck, and fury burns through me as I can already see hand mark bruises appearing on her delicate skin.

“What the hell did he do?” I demand, rushing over to Leah so I can check her over more closely.
