After She's Terminal The Alpha Regrets (Elaine and Lucas) novel Chapter 178

Blaine flipped another page, exhaling heavily as she skimmed over the words. The library was quiet, not many people were here today. A workday, or it was supposed to be. A nice time to get some study in.

Liam tossed a new book onto the table, it landed with a loud thud.

“Shh!” the librarian returning books to the shelves said.

Elaine looked up at Liam, though he only shrugged as he sat down. “Take a look at this one,” Liam/said.

She looked at the title. The Comprehensive Life and Death of the Russian Alpha of Siberian Alps.

“That’s a history book,” Elaine said, pushing it away. “We’re looking for information on mate bonds.

Liam placed a finger on it, sliding it right back in front of her. “This was in the fifteenth century. This ‘Russian Alpha‘ had a harem of omegas,” he said.

Elaine glanced sideways at Liam, clearly not impressed. “And?”

“And he had a mate bond with every single werewolf in his harem.”

“How many?” Elaine asked.

“Twenty,” he replied, tapping the book again. “It explains why Lucas can have a bond with both you and Ayla.”

“Okay,” Elaine said with a shrug. “I don’t see how that helps. Alphas can create multiple bonds. I saw him mark Ayla.”

The bitterness of that night still haunted her.

“Well in this one, one of the omegas hadn’t wanted to be connected anymore. Their bond was severed,” Liam said.

Elaine finally took the book. “How?”

“Through rejection,” he said.

Elaine set the book aside. “Right so…we already know that. We’re looking to see if there’s another way.”

Liam opened the book, flipping to the specific page, tapping it. “Elaine, look at this. The omega who severed the connection with him became weak and frail. It says here she caught illness and died not even a month after it happened.”

Elaine’s brow furrowed. “Mate bonds affect the physical well–being of the bonded, I already know that.”

“But a rejection could weaken you even further!” Liam said.

Liam looked at her seriously.
