Bad Love An Alpha’s Regret

Dealing with Karolina is honestly the last thing I want to do right now.

What if this is something to do with Tobin being dead?

What if she’s come for Aaron? Right when I’m going to need him to help fight for our son-as soon as I figure out where he is.

But it could be regular Council business or even following up from the meeting when Aaron announced he wanted to divorce me

Now I think the whole ‘divorce’ thing was just part of his stu pid plan to protect me. Make whoever was trying to kill him-Tobin for a start-think he didn’t care about me, which made me less of a target.

It hadn’t exactly worked in the end.

Not after everything that’s happened tonight.

I hurry through the house to the formal front sitting room where we entertain important guests. One of the pack members is just providing refreshments for Karolina as I walk in.

“Luna Leah,” she greets me as I enter the room and thank the pack member who served her. “I must say, your pack seems well cared for and are quite adept at dealing with unexpected visitors in a gracious manner.”

“Thankyou, Councilwoman,” I reply with a half-bow of respect

Karolina, however, waves a hand. “Forget the formality. I’ve never seen the point of it myself”

I send Karolina a polite smile. “Then you won’t mind if I ask why you’ve come? It’s just that now isn’t the best time. I have a serious pack issue I’m trying to deal with.”
