Bad Love an Alpha’s Regret by Elise Sinclair

Chapter 327

I’m dreaming, on some level I know that.

But it doesn’t stop my body shaking with fear.

I’m running through the dark halls of the mansion.

Except it doesn’t look like home, it’s all sinister and wrong.

I can’t see Axel, but I know he’s chasing me.

And this time it’s not some game.

It’s not a simple battle of wills.

It’s life or death.

And I know when he catches me, he’ll show no mercy.

He’ll kill me, and I won’t be able to stop him.

I don’t want to die.

I don’t want Axel to kill me.

I want him to accept who and what I am.

I want him to love me.

He’s my mate, he’s supposed to be mine.

He’s supposed to be my happy ending.

I need to get outside.
