After She's Terminal The Alpha Regrets (Elaine and Lucas) novel Chapter 155

Chapter 155

He hadn’t been looking at the time, just kept his eyes peeled for the truck he knew had to come into sight, So he wasn’t exactly sure how long he’d been driving before the glint of red shimmered off asphalt ahead of him

The truck’s brake lights.

Lucas‘ heart skipped a beat, and he slammed the brakes. His vehicle skidded to a stop with a squeal and rapke against the road.

The truck was just idling there. The back of it wide open, and so was the driver’s door. Stopped in the middle of the road. Lucas got out, striding towards it, his brow furrowed. No one was inside, but certainly this was the correct vehicle.

The sound of a car behind him signaled the arrival of Liam. The other Alpha got out and jogged up beside Lucas.

“Empty?”

“Empty,” Lucas confirmed, he looked around. “She must have gotten out somehow.”

“Where’s the driver?” Liam cast a look around, then spotted the tracks that followed into the forest. “There.”

“The scent is strong,” Lucas noted.

“They were here recently.”

“Let’s go.”

The two Alphas took off into the forest, weaving between trees and trampling down the underbrush. The scent of

a stranger werewolf was strongest, but Lucas could pick up the traces of Elaine just beneath it.

They’d both been this way.

Rustling.

Lucas stopped dead in his tracks, Liam beside him. The sound came from just ahead of them.

“…stupid girl,” a voice sounded, low and frustration–filled.

Liam and Lucas exchanged a look. The two of them split, flanking the clearing just ahead and the man who stood within it, at the edge of a ravine that led down into water.

He heard the two before he spotted them, whirling around as the snap of a stick. “Who goes there?” he yelled.

Lucas‘ brow furrowed, and he walked to the edge of the ravine, his gaze traveling with the current of the water. If was going fast. If she jumped in, she’d be swept down it to who knows where.
