Bad Love an Alpha’s Regret by Elise Sinclair

Chapter 335

EMILY

I end up spending more time than I probably should with Ronan and by the time I make the long run back to Rathborn pack lands,

I’m in a better mood than I’ve been for a long time.

questions about vampires that I’d needed clarified.

growing up as daughter of the Alpha in the Rathborn, or my recent

past and the terrible things that happened to me.

I don’t want him to start looking at me differently–or worse, start looking at me like I’m some freak–so I’m not going to tell him the

truth.

Ronan.
