Chapter 82 – Sinclair Takes on a Blackmailer

Sinclair

When I arrive at the home of Ella’s former employer, it takes all my strength to push my wolf down deep. The last thing I need is to actually murder a human, no matter how badly I might want to.

My wolf calms as soon as he sees the children, softening like the big teddy bear he is. “Well hello!” I drop down to their level, unable to resist their adorable smiles. “I haven’t seen you two in ages, what have you been up to?”
