After She's Terminal The Alpha Regrets (Elaine and Lucas) novel Chapter 210

Ayla burst through the doors of the K.A.L.M foundation. The building was bustling with people..or, well, perhaps that was a strong word. There were about six people within the lobby and in the halls.

Ayla ignored all of them, except the scowl she threw at the older man who’d dared to walk in her path. The old fool didn’t realize she had much more important business than he did.

Despite the low occupancy, her foundation had been receiving quite large donations from not only her investors, who simply wrote the money off on their taxes before re–pocketing it, but also other good- natured souls who didn’t know what the money was actually being used for

Ayla made her way into the meeting room, barely noting how there was sound proofing on the walls this time as she stepped in.

“You!” she accused, pointing at Kaine, who was currently leaning over Lucia’s shoulder and gazing down at several documents on the table.

Both looked up.

“Ayla,” Kaine said, a wry smiling tugging his lips. “I was wondering when you’d show up. Despite your absence this past week, we’ve had our most successful month yet. Donations are finally rolling in.

“We’re making so much money,” Lucia said with a smile.

“Not to mention not worry for that new policy…” Kaine muttered.

“I don’t care for your tax evasion. Where is my Lucas?” Ayla said, slamming her hands down on the table. “I told you to get rid of Elaine! Now Lucas is gone as well.”

Lucia and Kaine exchanged glances.

“What do you mean where is Lucas? He’s right where you told me you wanted him.”

“At my side is where he should be!” Ayla screeched.

Kaine was glad he’d put in that soundproofing. He pressed a hand to his ear. “You sound like a dying cat. Calm yourself.”

“I will not be calm! Lucas is out there somewhere with Elaine! Eloped together. Probably forgetting all about me already. I’ll strangle her neck!”

“No need, they’re both dead.” Kaine said it with such a calm voice that it took Ayla a minute to realize what he’d even said.

It registered slowly, and Ayla went still. “What do you mean they’re both dead?”

“Just as we planned it,” Lucia said. “Elaine was a pain in the ass to you, and Lucas was trying to take away our power. Two birds, one stone.”

“Explain yourself.”

Lucie closed the fokter in front of her and stood up slowly “North Fangshire Pack was sending a private jer to pack lacas up m I made sure he stepped onto mine instead Elaine as well. They were bonicest

numbness.

She should have known when she was speaking to them that they’d wanted to kill Lucas. She hadn’t listened. Now…now he was out there. Likely dead. And she’d played a part in that.
