Bad Love an Alpha’s Regret by Elise Sinclair

Chapter 286

AXEL

The girl in front of me is so stunningly beautiful, it makes my chest ache.

Hair, dark as night, tumbles over her shoulders in untamable waves, all the way to her hips.

Her green eyes glow with the vibrancy of a forest in spring, and her skin is a symphony of flawless beauty.

There’s something almost otherworldly about her, and it stirs my Hunter instincts, but I ruthlessly push them down.

Montana is crawling with vampires, and most of the time, the lingering presence of them-even from a distance-is abrasive to my heightened senses. Like nails on a chalkboard.

It’s probably deceiving me into seeing suspicious things where there’s only shadows and tricks of the light.

I remind myself I’m not on a vampire hunt right now, I’m simply helping Aaron track down his wayward sister.

Aaron had told the search party that his sister had dark hair

and green eyes.

He never said anything about her being absolutely stunning.

And I know part of me thinking this is absolute bias.

Because I recognized her for who she is as soon as I caught her scent about a mile back.
