Bad Love an Alpha’s Regret by Elise Sinclair

Chapter 301

I can’t risk getting any closer, otherwise Axel might sense or

scent me.

Aaron isn’t responsible for their bad choices, and he shouldn’t have to pay for them.

I’m not close enough to hear what’s being said, even with my heightened hearing.

They’re not acting familiar, so I don’t think Axel was lying when

he told Aaron he a never met these vampires before.

But what the hell could he be talking to them about?
