Bad Love An Alpha’s Regret

Chapter 261

LEAH

By the time evening rolls around, I’m exhausted.

I’ve divided my time between accepting condolences from pack members who’ve come to see me–at the same time, needing their own comfort because their Alpha is dead and the uncertainty over who will be our new Alpha is terrifying- and looking after Ethan.

It occurs to me that we’re going to have to have a funeral, and that sends me into a mini breakdown, somehow making everything real all over again.

James comes to find me where I’m curled up in the middle of Aaron’s bed, hugging his pillow as if it can somehow bring him

back to me.

“You should eat something, Leah,” he says gently as he sits on the edge of the bed.

“I’m not hungry,” I reply automatically, even though I know he’s right.

“You don’t have to come down,” he tells me with a slight frown.

“I’ll have the chef send something up.”

stomach much food.
