After She's Terminal The Alpha Regrets (Elaine and Lucas) novel Chapter 208

Kyle gave a soft laugh, uncomfortable and uncertain, but then he saw the seriousness in Liam’s eyes,

and he cleared his throat.

“Right. You’re serious about that,” he said. “The same Ayla who barely leaves the estate? Who is terminally ill?”

“She’s not ill. And she doesn’t have to leave the estate often when she probably has others doing her dirty work.” Liam crossed the lobby, striding toward the desk. “Is she at the estate now?”

“I believe so, though you’re going to need to give me more than just your word that she’s capable of something like this. How can you be so certain?”

Harriet stepped forward. “You know how Elaine was attacked in my house by that assassin?”

“And her brother kidnapping her,” Nancy added.

“Then her parents,” Liam said, grabbing the keys to his car before turning to Kyle. “I spoke with Walter when he was taken into custody, before his trial. He confirmed that Ayla had put him up to it. She was funneling Lucas‘ cash to help him and Ruth.

Kyle’s hands clenched at his sides.

“Think about it. She wants Lucas–”

“Lucas is missing as well,” Kyle pointed out.

“Then we ask her where he is too. I’m certain she’s behind this. She’s been wanting Elaine gone since the very beginning.”

Kyle exhaled slowly, though he didn’t actually look all that surprised. He had never liked Ayla that much but had put up with her because she was Lucas‘ fated mate. He’d always known she was petty.

Yet wanting to kill Elaine? That didn’t surprise Kyle. He’d seen how Ayla would look at the other Beta. How she’d sneer or smirk like she was hiding something.

In fact, the more Kyle thought about it, the more it made sense, yet he was still hesitant to jump on the bandwagon of trying to take Ayla down without proof.

“We talk to her first. Then we decide afterward if she’s involved or not. I pray to our goddess she isn’t. For Lucas‘ sake,” Kyle said, running his fingers through his hair.

Lien nodded toward the door and led the Beta out. The two jogged down the steps, and Liam strode Loward his own car “We’ll meet at the estate.”

*I can let you in through the front gate, but you’ll need to stick close. Because of what happened last tini,” kyle sald

“Don’t regret it.”

The two gos into their separate cars, and Liam followed Kyle to Lucas‘ estate. The gate was hack on its
