Bad Love an Alpha’s Regret by Elise Sinclair

Chapter 328

“Axel, no!” I cry out as he starts dragging me from the kitchen. “Please, I wasn’t going to run, I promise.”

Axel scoffs and tightens his hold on me.

“Like I haven’t heard that before. How many times have you told me you wouldn’t shift and run, only to do exactly that a few hours later?”

“Please, let me go,” I beg, and I can’t even find any shame that I’m pleading desperately with him.

Not with the nightmare lingering in my mind, making it hard for my thoughts and emotions to differentiate reality from dream.

I don’t care if I’m reduced to begging.

I don’t care if he thinks I’m pathetic.

The only thing I care about right now is getting away from him and not getting locked in my room when I’m feeling so raw and

vulnerable.

But Axel barely pays any attention to me.

Instead, he drags me upstairs.

However, when we get there, I’m momentarily confused, because he doesn’t take me into my room. He takes me across the hall into the bedroom Aaron gave him to use when he became my glorified babysitter.

Axel slams the door and then goes over to the dresser, tugging me along.

“What’s going on? What are you doing?” I demand, my voice tight with anger.

He doesn’t answer as he digs through a drawer of weapons and

other things I can’t even identify.

Eventually he pulls something out and turns to me.

“No!” I scream furiously, doubling my efforts to escape him as I

see the pair of silver handcuffs he’s holding.

My wolf starts pushing up, trying to force the shift to protect me.

The first few years I was captive of the old Roberts Alpha, he kept me in silver handcuffs, keeping my wrists continuously raw,

blistered and painful.
