Bad Love an Alpha’s Regret by Elise Sinclair

Chapter 329

AXEL

Awareness creeps in slowly when she stirs, shifting against me.

I tighten my hold, dragging her a little closer, my wolf rumbling contentedly.

I’m still half asleep, but I don’t want to fully wake up yet.

I want to stay right here like this, and not let the rest of the world

intrude.

I know there’s some reason why things shouldn’t be this simple, but my mind is shying away from it, turning me back toward the pull of sleep and comfort.

Then she shifts again, this time rolling over and snuggling into my

chest.

Sleepily, lazily, my mouth seeks out hers, and the kiss is languid and so good.

She makes a happy noise, a little sigh that turns into a breathless moan, and that’s all my wolf needs.

He wants his mate, and it sends a hard bolt of lust through me,

By the time I realize what I’m doing and who I’m doing it with, I’m already on top of Emily, kissing her deeply, my hips rocking into hers, my cock straining against my underwear, seeking the tight,

wet heat of her body.

Emily moans again and it only stirs my wolf into a mating frenzy.

I tell myself I have to stop.

This can’t happen–it’s already happening, but it can’t go any

further.

Except it’s like my logical mind is detached from my body.

It’s my wolf, I think. He’s managed to wrest just enough control from me that it’s not forcing the shift, but his will and need for his mate is overriding my common sense that knows nothing good can come of me and Emily being together.

Not to mention the fact that Aaron said he would kill me.

I mean, I’m not worried about that. But I am worried about forsaking the vow I made to him.

Aaron is the first person I’ve truly liked and respected for

hundreds of years.
