After She's Terminal The Alpha Regrets (Elaine and Lucas) novel Chapter 124

Chapter 124

Some thought it cruel. Others called it necessary. Lucas ignored any word from those around him. He didn’t dare what others thought about it, this was how it was going to be.

Even the Elder Council had sensed the shift and knew not to question it. So they didn’t. They simply accepted the terms and approved it.

Lucas watched as Elaine’s stepbrother was hauled out of the Council room, screaming how this was unjust fair He didn’t care. Matthew had brought this upon himself. So he would have no trial. No chance to speak for himself.

He’d not only attacked Elaine and tried to hurt her, he’d almost killed Aaron. That was not something Lucas took lightly. So Matthew was going away. There’d be no trial. No bail. No parole.

Simply four walls and door that wouldn’t open.

Lucas left the Council right after Matthew had been taken away. He had no interest in the press that ran up to him outside the building, trying to ask him questions and get his recount of what happened.

He said nothing. Just got his car. And headed home.

Ayla was there, waiting for him. She’d seen the broadcast of the Council meeting, and she was worrying herself half to death. 1

Not because Elaine had been hurt. Not because Aaron almost died.

But because Lucas had gone after her. He’d dropped everything to just go running off and rescuing her. The plan had completely backfired.

Instead of making Elaine disappear, she’d become some sort of victumn—though Elaine would disagree with the term—and now everyone was fawning over her. 2

Poor girl had been kidnapped!

It made Ayla bristle with anger, Lucas came in through the door and she rushed to greet him.

“Oh, Lucas! I saw the news. Are you okay? You didn’t tell me why you’d run out last night, I was so worried, and now seeing what’s happened…” she said.

“Not now, Ayla.”

She followed after him. “But you’re so tense. Are you sure there’s nothing I can do? I want to help you–”

“Not now.” The tone left no room for argument.

Ayla stopped walking, watching as Lucas continued down the hall. He passed by his brother’s room, the door closed. Still recovering.
