After She's Terminal The Alpha Regrets (Elaine and Lucas) novel Chapter 236

Chapter 236

Ayla paced the jail cell. She hadn’t been told her sentencing yet, which for her, she believed was a good thing.

“Lucas still loves me,” she told herself. “He will come and sweep me away from his horrid place.”

She’d mumbled that to herself all of last night. She was still wide awake and pacing. Two days since the Elder Council meeting. Two days in a cell. She grabbed onto the bars.

“Hey!” she shouted at a passing officer. “Hey! I haven’t gotten anything to eat yet.”

“You refused breakfast,” the officer replied, not stopping to talk to her.

Ayla’s hand shot out through the bars to grab the officer’s uniform, yanking him closer. “Where you going? You can’t just walk away from me! I demand food.”

The officer grabbed her wrist and twisted backward, forcing her to let go. She cried out. “You want an additional charge for assaulting an officer?” he demanded.

Ayla cackled. “It won’t matter! Lucas is coming to save me. Then I’ll make sure you pay!”

The officer let go of her hand and stepped back, looking at her like she was a half–mad dog. “Alpha Lucas isn’t coming to even see you.”

“That’s what you think. That’s what you tell yourself to sleep at night. But I know. I know.” Ayla grabbed hold of the bars. “Now where is my food!”

The officer took a step back from the cell. “Like I already said. We offered you breakfast this morning b you threw it across the room instead of eating it.”

“Because you gave me pig slop! I’m not going to eat that nasty shit. Get me something actually edible, and I might actually eat.”

“You’re in a jail cell. You don’t get the luxury of choosing.” He turned to go. “Now be quiet.”

“What did you just tell me? You get back here! Don’t you dare walk away from me!” Ayla yelled, reaching through the bars at empty air as the officer walked out. She pulled back, then slammed her hand against one of the bars.

She went back to pacing. Back and forth.

“Lucas will come. He still loves me, don’t you know. You’ll be so sorry when I’m out of here,” Ayla muttered to herself. “You’ll be sorry.”
