Bad Love an Alpha’s Regret by Elise Sinclair

Chapter 292

EMILY

“You can’t make me!” I scream, hurling the glass of water I was holding across the kitchen.

It smashes into the wall right next to Axel’s shoulder, but he doesn’t so much as flinch.

Even when he gets rained on by water and shards of glass.

He just stares at me in bored contemplation, like he would literally rather be anywhere else than stuck in this kitchen with

me right now.

Aaron flicks his hand and then the chef and other wolves who

were assisting him in the huge, luxuriously appointed, modern kitchen all scramble to flee the room, leaving me alone with

Aaron.

Well, apart from Axel.

Who doesn’t do anything other than to idly flick a shard of glass off his shoulder.

“Emily,” Aaron says in that overly patient voice I’m starting to

hate. “This party is for you. To officially welcome you back into the pack. There are people who haven’t seen you yet, who

will want to catch up with you. You’re the daughter of the last Alpha, the sister of the current Alpha. You’re important to the morale of the pack, and you will act accordingly.”

I want to pull my hair until it starts coming out in clumps.

What is there to even celebrate?

I’m not the same girl who walked out of this house ten years ago, the last morning before I was abducted.

I’m a freak now.

A monster.

I’m not fit to be part of this pack.
