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.

He’s just so easy to talk to, and I got to ask some of the burning

questions about vampires that I’d needed clarified.

If Ronan thought my questions were odd or extremely specific, he

didn’t say so.

Part of me wonders if Ronan is someone to whom I can tell the

truth of what I am.

But immediately, the part of me that loathes myself and fears

rejection shies away from the idea.

Ronan is a new, neutral friend, not influenced by my distant past

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.
