Bad Love an Alpha’s Regret by Elise Sinclair

Chapter 331

I run off Rathborn lands, but this time it’s on purpose.

And once I’m far enough away from pack territory and into the public National Park, I quickly make my way to the spot I’ve seen Ronan twice now.

I’m hoping to see him again, and part of me thinks I should have messaged him to check he was going to be out here again today. I know I’m taking a risk, particularly if Axel’s tied up with our enemy breaching our borders, but that’s to the North and I’m here, in broad daylight, far to the North.

I barely know him, but there’s something almost magnetic about

him.

Plus, he’s listened and seems to care in a way other people in my life simply don’t.

I want to get to know him better, and my heart flutters as I idly wonder just how well I might get to know him…if we might

become something more than friends.

The idea thrills me, but my wolf is unhappy and sulky about it.

When I step out through the trees and into the clearing, I’m thrilled to once again see Ronan sitting on a picnic blanket, this time writing in a journal of some kind.

“Do you live out here or something?” I ask as I cross over to him.

He looks up with a smile. “I could ask the same of you.”

I sit down on the blanket without waiting to be invited, but Ronan is smiling, so I know he doesn’t mind. He reaches down to a
