After She's Terminal The Alpha Regrets (Elaine and Lucas) novel Chapter 145

Chapter 145

Bran leanded forward. “An impressive number for such a new organization, yes. But it still cannot sway the fact that it happened. Alphas?”

“My opinion has not been swayed,” Alex said first. “In fact, by the time word of it reached my ears, it was already resolved.”

Liam stepped forward next. “Alpha Alex is right. It was an incident that lasted no more than a few days. Surely not enough to ruin the foundation’s reputation in the long–run. I witnessed first–hand the lengths Elaine here f went through to prove to the public the real truth.”

“Yet she cannot join us here today.” Volk walked to the center of the room. “What does that say about her dedication to this matter?”

“A lot,” Liam snapped back.

“Oh really?”

“She has done more for this community than most of us Alphas do for our own. What have we done to help the struggling wolves within our packs?” Liam asked.

“Does not change the fact she could not even be bothered to be here. Answer the question, Alpha, if you can. Where is Elaine?”

Liam didn’t have an answer for that. He had no idea where she was. And it worried him. Yet hesitating this long wasn’t a good look either.

“She texted me moments ago,” Nancy said, stepping forward in front of Liam. “Just before the meeting, in fact. There was an emergency down at the foundation involving a young wolf. It was of the utmost importance.”

Volk met Nancy’s gaze. Then after a moment, he backed off.

“I see.”

“This whole situation was blown out of proportion. I think we can all agree we’re wasting our time here instead of helping those who actually need it,” Nancy added.

Volk let out a breath. Then, he nodded. “I would agree.”

Byran raised a brow. “So you are withdrawing your request for this hearing?”

“It seems as if I was wrong,” Volk replied and looked at Nancy and Liam. “New Dawn still has my support.”

The two of them walked out of the chambers with a sigh of relief. It was short lived, however. Liam turned to his mother.

“Did Elaine really text you?”

“No, but I had to say something,” Nancy replied.

“So she’s still missing.”

“Missing is a strong…” One Nancy didn’t want to believe was true.

“I’m going to her place. Maybe Harriet knows more,” Liam replied.
