After She's Terminal The Alpha Regrets (Elaine and Lucas) novel Chapter 101

Chapter 101

Ada reclined against the couch in the living room, tossing a few pieces of popcorn in her mouth as the movie played on the screen before her. Yet she wasn’t exactly interested in it. Neither were the other girls gathered around in a circle around her.

Alice, a pale blonde with curly hair and cunning eyes, snickered from her place on the couch. “…he totally was!”

“No way he was actually flirting though,” another one of the girls chimed in, a dark-haired brunette named way.

Ayla rolled her eyes. “Whether he was or not doesn’t matter. This is the fifth time you’ve told this story.

“I’m just trying to get outside opinions!” Alice argued.

The movie suddenly cut as an ad popped up. All three girls groaned. Yet the image that flickered on the screen was familiar to Ayla. New Dawn. Elaine’s foundation. They were advertising it now?

Ayla grip tightened on the bowl of popcorn. If she were any stronger, it might have cracked.

“Elaine’s doing good for herself,” May said. “That place looks nice.”

“I’d never be homeless, but if I was, I’d totally stay there,” Alice added. Then she frowned. “Except, not with all the other people there. Gross.”

Ayla’s eye twitched. She let out a low breath. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale…

“I never would have thought, to. Considering it’s Elaine who opened it but..yeah, it’s nice.” May reached over to grab the popcorn.

Ayla jerked the bowl away, then slammed it down on the coffee table. The other girls froze. She stood up abruptly.

“Well, it does look super nice. She’s doing so well for herself.” Her teeth were gritted so tightly it ached her jaw. ” Have you heard about the foundation I’m opening up? Wind Wolf Charity. It’ll be so much better. You know, endorsed by Lucas himself and all.”

May and Alice glanced at each other.

“Elaine is nice but she doesn’t have the support of the Alpha President himself. My facility will be able to help so many people,” Ayla said.

Alice leaned forward on her knees. “I bet it’ll be just as nice.”

“Twice as nice!” May interjected.

“Yeah. Yes! It will be.” Ayla fidgeted with her hands, worry crawling up her throat as jealousy twisted her gut.
