After She's Terminal The Alpha Regrets (Elaine and Lucas) novel Chapter 217

Liam stormed down the steps of the foundation and toward his car, his fingers flexing as he tried to make sense of the anger going through his head.

Walter and Ruth had been banished under the punishment of death if they’d ever returned. But he’d never read the fine print. Never knew about some Right of Mourning law. He wished he’d known.

But now everything Elaine had built was in danger because of their return. If she really was gone…

Liam couldn’t bear the thought of it, but he had to. If she was gone, then the foundation would transfer to Ruth and Walter. They could sell it off and get all the money. Elaine’s legacy, the one thing she’d wanted to keep alive…

“Liam, hold up,” Kyle said, jogging down the steps and toward him. “Liam.”

“What?” he snapped.

“Walter and Ruth…they’re trying to take over the foundation.”

“I know. It’s the only reason why they’d come back.”

“We need to find them.”

“I know.”

“Ayla was–”

“I know!” Liam yelled, whirling around to Kyle. “I know all that already! I know they’re trying to steal from Elaine. I know Ayla is there in. I know this situation is fucked!”

Kyle remined quite for a time, letting Liam calm himself. The Alpha turned and paced the parking lot, struggling so hard to contain his emotion. He wanted to scream. He wanted to punch something.

He wanted to cry and call out for Elaine to be okay.

He did none of those things.

“I was going to say Ayla was acting suspicious the day before Walter and Ruth showed up,” Kyle said. Liam turned to him.

“Suspicious how?”

“She was tearing apart her room in a grief–driven rage, then all of the sudden she’s rushing to Lucas‘ office to answer a call. She told me it some just someone asking for Lucas, but I don’t believe her. She ran out of the house after that in a hurry,” Kyle said. 2

Liam’s brow furrowed. “Who called?”

“Ichecked the logs this morning. I haven’t had time to look up the number yet,” Kyle replied, taking out his phone to show Liam.

Lian studied the number, recognition flickering through his gaze. “That’s the radio tower”
