Bad Love An Alpha’s Regret

Chapter 56
LEAH
When I get into the vehicle, I lie out on the back seat. I stretch my legs and fold my arms under my head. The SUV is new and the leather is expensive. It has a distinctive smell.
Aaron moves to slide in beside me.
“No,” I tell him.
Just that one word, but it has force behind it.
He pauses.
So do James and Cedric. All three males glance at each other.

James clears his throat, reminding us we’re not alone.
Well, whatever.
This beta knows too much about me anyway. And the rest of the
