After She's Terminal The Alpha Regrets (Elaine and Lucas) novel Chapter 109

Chapter 109

Dacas closed the door softly behind him, sighing heavily as he looked around his office. A full day of work and he still wasn’t done.

Things were piling up and he half wished he’d only stayed as the Alpha of the Wind Wolf pack. The duties rom that alone were overwhelming, much less also worrying about all the other packs as President.

He rubbed his temple.

Kyle, who’d entered first, walked over to the desk to drop a pile of papers onto it. “Tomorrow’s schedule He said, tapping the top page.

“As if there’s no end,” Lucas muttered, striding over to it. He’d been entrusting Kyle with more and more lately. Had to. There was to much on his plate otherwise, and Ayla wasn’t of much help. 1

“You could really use a strong Luna, Alpha,” Kyle said. They both knew it. Elaine had been the best Luna for this kind of thing. For taking on responsibility and more work. If only Lucas had realized that before.

He sighed. “I know.”

“Ayla isn’t fit.”

“You sound like my father.”

“Am I wrong?”

Lucas shook his head with a low chuckle. “No. No, you are not.” He walked around the desk, spreading out the papers Kyle had placed down. “The day she was acting as Luna. Have all those complaints been handled?”

“It set off a chain reaction,” Kyle muttered, crossing his arms as he leaned against the side of the file cabinet. ” Still getting complaints.”

“Now they’re just milking the situation.”

Kyle chuckled. “I wouldn’t put it past them, but Ayla did cause quite a bit of damage.” 1

“She shouldn’t have even taken up those responsibilities. Not with her illness.” Lucas picked up several of the papers, scanning the words before reaching for the hidden compartment under his desk. 1

He paused with his fingers over it. It was open.

“Now she just lazes around the house, and I’m doing the work a Luna should,” Kyle muttered with a roll of his

eyes. 1

Lucas ignored him, bending down to look at the compartment. Kyle raised a brow. Lucas noticed the key was in the compartment, it was just hanging open. With a thoughtful hum, he took the key and walked to the cabinet. Which was unlocked.

Lucas‘ brow furrowed as he closed the cabinet, this time making sure it was locked. “I think someone’s been in here.”
