Bad Love An Alpha’s Regret

James jumps into the SUV at the last second and then I tear down the mountain at breakneck speeds.

I’m in this huge rush to get home-back to the Rathborn mansion-but I don’t even know what I’m going to do when I get there.

I don’t have the first clue about finding a missing child, especially my own child whom I didn’t even know was even alive until less than an hour ago.

I feel like I’ve been strung on a live wire.

Like my whole body is being electrified and I need to do something.

Anything.
