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.

vulnerable.

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
