Bad Love an Alpha’s Regret by Elise Sinclair

Chapter 284

AARON

The drive back to Rathborn mansion goes by in a blur.

It’s almost impossible to believe that my sister is actually alive, and I don’t think I’m going to fully believe it until I see her with my own eyes.

But stronger than my disbelief is the guilt and the rage.

Guilt, because my sister has spent the past ten years locked up, less than an hour from our childhood home, waiting to be rescued.

The rage, meanwhile, threatens to consume me.

I want to go dig up the bones of Liam and the old Roberts Alpha and bring them back to life, just so I can kill them all over again.

Slowly and painfully.

Make them suffer as much as my innocent sister suffered all these years.

We arrive back at Rathborn mansion, and I rush from the SUV and into the house, calling for Emily.
