Bad Love an Alpha’s Regret by Elise Sinclair

Chapter 271

“I don’t know,” Aaron says with a smile. “I was hoping you

could tell me. It feels familiar, but I don’t think I’ve ever been here before.”

“That’s exactly what I thought!” I reply with a laugh, before simply staring up at him in awe.

“I can’t believe you’re here. I thought I’d never see you again,” I say, hugging him closer.

“Now it’s my turn to say that’s exactly what I thought,” Aaron jokes, squeezing me tighter. “Go d, I miss you, Leah. I don’t know what I’m meant to do without you.”

“I miss you too, Aaron,” I say quietly, and the sadness starts

creeping in, even though I just want to enjoy this moment and feel the joy of being with him again, even if on some level I know this isn’t real. That I’m dreaming. That eventually I’m going to wake up and be without him again.

Because she misses her mate as much as I do.
