After She's Terminal The Alpha Regrets (Elaine and Lucas) novel Chapter 250

Chapter 250

“Seems fair,” Liam said and pulled out his wallet. He swiped his card.

“Enjoy your stay, eh? And if you need anything,” the gamma said, then glanced at Elaine. “Don’t hesitate to come knocking…”

She shifted, taking a step back from the counter. “We’ll keep that in mind,” she muttered.

“Room key?” Liam prompted. “Preferably a room with two beds.”

“Right. A room. Room…” The gamma turned away from the counter, looking at the wall behind him where several hooks were hanging. He took a key from one, spinning back around to face them.

“Room B10,” he said and set the key on the counter.

Liam took it before he turned and started out of the lobby. Elaine followed him closely. She shivered once they got outside.

“Yikes,” she said.

Liam looked down at her. “Run–down motel and creepy owner? Check.”

“Next there’s going to be bed bugs…” Elaine said with a groan.

“Come on, it’s not all bad. But tomorrow you can wait in the car while I check out.”

“If we even make it till morning.”

The two of them got their suitcases from the car before heading up to their room on the second level. Room B10. Liam unlocked the door and pushed it open and…

Elaine was pleasantly surprised by the lack of stench. That was an upgrade from the lobby for certain. She stepped inside, and her gaze was immediately drawn towards the bed. The single queen–sized bed against the left wall.

Liam stepped in beside her. “It actually smells quite clean in…”

He noticed the bed.

They both stopped in the threshold of the room and stared at it for a moment. Then Liam cleared his throat. “Right. So this should have been two beds…”

“Yup,” Elaine replied.

“I’ll go talk to the owner–”

Elaine cringed at the thought. “Don’t. I’d rather not deal with that guy again. This is…it’s fine.”

“You sure?” Liam asked. “I don’t want to make you uncomfortable.”

She smiled and looked over at him. “I’m sure.”

She walked over to the rightmost wall and set her suitcase aside. Liam did the same before gesturing back towards the door.
