Bad Love an Alpha’s Regret by Elise Sinclair

Chapter 301

EMILY

I can’t risk getting any closer, otherwise Axel might sense or

scent me.

But I’m dying from curiosity.

Something is going on here.

I just don’t know if it’s something good or something bad.

I have no idea why Axel would shift and run all the way out here just to intercept those vampires who came to the house to threaten my brother and our pack.

Part of me thinks we should just hand over Leah and the Roberts pack. That would certainly solve our problems.

Aaron isn’t responsible for their bad choices, and he shouldn’t have to pay for them.

I’m not close enough to hear what’s being said, even with my heightened hearing.

The way Axel and the three vampires are all warily regarding each other, I don’t think they know each other.

They’re not acting familiar, so I don’t think Axel was lying when

he told Aaron he a never met these vampires before.

But what the hell could he be talking to them about?

I watch for another few minutes at the heated exchange.

Eventually, however, the vampires get back in their vehicle.

Axel stays standing in the road, watching them as they roll past him and then the luxury sedan quickly disappears into the night.

I have to shift quickly then, and speed off into the darkness, hoping Axel doesn’t scent me when he comes back this way.
