Bad Love an Alpha’s Regret by Elise Sinclair

Chapter 310

AXEL

Aaron stalks across the hall into the room he gave me to use.

I’m assuming he doesn’t want to leave Emily for long in case she tries to run or decides she’s going to pick up where she left off with Leah.

I have a better understanding now of why Emily hates Leah so much.

The old Roberts Alpha sounds like he was a twisted bastard.

I think Aaron would maybe have more sympathy and understanding for Emily if he knew some of what she went through, but it’s not my place to tell him.

I won’t betray Emily’s confidence like that.

Aaron and Leah leaving for the Old Country for a few days, or a week is probably for the best.

It’ll give Emily some time to adjust without Leah here to constantly remind her of what she went through.

However, I get the sense Emily wasn’t telling me everything.

Like maybe she told me a sanitized version, and there was much

more to it.

Probably things that were even more horrible than what she spoke of.

It’s clear I need to get to the bottom of it all.
