Bad Love an Alpha’s Regret by Elise Sinclair

Chapter 258

Chapter 258

LEAH

I blink my eyes open and grimace when I realize my whole body hurts.

I feel like I’ve been run over by a truck. And a train. And then a steamroller.

Every muscle aches and every joint hurts and for a minute I can’t remember what happened.

And I don’t know where I am.

In some kind of office, and I’ve been left lying on a narrow cot.

Just as I sit up, the door opens and Karolina comes in.

In that second, all the memories of the past days come flooding back, and I gasp, my hand flying to my chest.

I feel so empty.

The absence of my mating bond with Aaron is like a black hole inside me.

It’s a void at the very center of my soul that’s never going to

be filled.

“Good, you’re awake.” Karolina is carrying an electrolyte drink, which she brings over and hands to me.

I take it with a murmured thanks, immediately worried about how grim she looks and the general negative vibe she’s giving off.

“Is everything okay?” I ask, but then feel stupid for asking that question.

Of course everything isn’t okay.

I’ve just been forced to reject my mate and break our mating bond, and my husband–the love of my life–is going to be

executed at the next full moon.

“I’m afraid I have some bad news,” Karolina says, crossing her arms and avoiding my gaze.

I squeeze the electrolyte bottle until my knuckles ache,
