After She's Terminal The Alpha Regrets (Elaine and Lucas) novel Chapter 163

Chapter 163

She smiled faintly. “Oh, thank you, I…I’m not sure what happened,” she said.

“You need to be more careful,” Lucas said, letting go once he was certain she could stand on her own, even if she tried to lean further into him.

“You sound distracted,” Ayla said, reaching out to take his hand. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing,” Lucas said and pulled away from her, going to the kitchen instead. Ayla pursued him, not letting him get away that easy.

Her smile tightened. “It’s Elaine, isn’t it? I’m sure she’s fine. They would have told you otherwise. And she doesn’t even want you there. Even though you did so much to help save her. Narcissistic much?”

Lucas eyed Ayla.

“I’m just saying! You shouldn’t give her the time of day after all this. Being so rude when she wouldn’t even be here if it weren’t for you. If I had half a mind, I’d march right down to that hospital myself,” Ayla said with a self- assured nod.

He’d stopped listening to her. Something she only realized when Lucas was walking away, toward the front door.

This time, he wasn’t giving into Ayla’s words. He’d seen Elaine’s condition that night. Knew how bad it was. She surely had recovered enough this far that he could go and see her.

So that was what he was going to go do.

Elaine pulled away from Liam, having the energy to at least sit up in the bed. She looked away from him.

“I…I won’t make a good Luna,” she said, her voice cracked.

Liam’s brow furrowed and he tilted his head, but before he could say anything, Elaine continued.

“I won’t be a normal wife. I can’t…I can’t do that again. It won’t be good for you. For your pack,” she said, slum: her head. “I won’t be good. New Dawn has been…everything. I can’t… after Lucas…”

“Hey,” Liam said, cupping her face and tilting her gaze back up to him. “I’m not him. I don’t care if you don’t want that responsibility again. You won’t have it, not if you don’t want to. Moonwatch has been fine all these years without a Luna. Hell, even the past few months I’ve stuck around Wind Wolf it’s been fine without me.
