Bad Love An Alpha’s Regret

Chapter 324

“What brought you out here today?” Ronan asks after the relaxing silence has stretched on for a while.

“More of the same,” I reply, bringing my knees up and wrapping my arms around them.

“Family troubles,” he surmises with a nod.

“Worse than that,” I mutter, feeling my cheeks heat as I remember what took place in the underground training facility early.

The thing I’ve been running from all day.

“There’s this guy, kind of a friend of my brother-” I start, but Ronan gives a quick laugh.

Not a mean one, more one of understanding and sympathy.

“Isn’t there always?”

Like last time we spoke-the first time I met him-I find myself opening up.

Not telling him any specifics, just some generalizations so he still has an idea of what I’m dealing with.

I’m not sure if that thing about it being easier to talk to strangers is true, or if it’s something about Ronan himself.

How he calmly listens and doesn’t judge me.

“I don’t think you deserve to be treated like that. It sounds like you need to find some way to be rid of this guy while your brother is away,” Ronan says.

The idea is equally appealing and abhorrent to me.

Deep inside me, my instincts-my wolf-are already mourning the idea of Axel being gone from my life.
