Bad Love an Alpha’s Regret by Elise Sinclair

Chapter 342

AXEL

I’m fighting my wolf with everything I’ve got, but I’m about ready to give in, even though I know my wolf plans to claim his mate, whether it will put her in danger or not.

After letting Emily have her way with me–something that I knew was a bad idea from the start–the last of my resistance is quickly going up in smoke.

I’ve just put Emily beneath me–right where my wolf wants her-

when my phone starts ringing in my pocket.

My wolf orders me to ignore it, to kiss Emily instead, and so I do, even though I don’t like how much my wolf is in control right now.

However, when my phone immediately starts ringing again a second after it stops, I know something must have happened.

And as acting Alpha, I can’t shirk my responsibilities no matter

how much I might wish the rest of the world and its complications. would disappear right now.

I roll off Emily and pull my cell phone out, barking an irritated

answer into it.

“Is something wrong?” Emily asks from behind me.

I turn to face her, finding her all tousled and flushed.

I’d give just about anything to climb back into that bed and pick up where we left off–something I should not have even been doing in the first place–but instead I take a few steps backward.

“Something I need to deal with immediately,” I tell her in a gruff voice. “You should stay here and rest.”
