Bad Love an Alpha’s Regret by Elise Sinclair

Chapter 250

An entire day goes by, and no matter how much I ask after both Aaron and Karolina, no one will tell me anything and no other Councilmembers come to see me.

I’m getting meals regularly and the night before they brought a cot in for me to sleep on.

At least they’re seeing to my basic needs, but it makes me worried about how long they plan to keep me here like this without telling me anything.

Later that afternoon, the door opens, and I’m surprised and relieved when James walks into holding Ethan.

“Oh my god!” I cry in relief as I get up from where I’d been

sitting on the couch and hurry over to them.

James hugs me and then hands over Ethan.

I’m so relieved to be holding him again, but it makes me even sadder about the fact I can’t go home.

I never thought I’d miss someone so much who I’d known for such a short amount of time.

“How are you?” James asks, a note of concern in his voice.

I send him a lightly admonishing look. “About how you’d expect. Next question?”

He gives a quick laugh and then goes to sit on one of the chairs at the table.

I join him and set Ethan on my knee. He grabs a fistful of my hair, seeming fascinated by it.

“How are things with the packs?” I ask, not sure I want to know. But I’m still Luna, even if I am being held by the Council right now.

“The packs are okay,” James says, his expression serious. “There’s a lot of rumors flying around right now. Most people are obviously on your side, but outside our own packs, other wolves are believing the things the Council is saying about what Aaron did.”

I definitely don’t need to hear whatever misinformation the Council is putting out to tarnish Aaron’s reputation. It’ll only make me angry, and right now I’ve got nowhere to direct that
