After She's Terminal The Alpha Regrets (Elaine and Lucas) novel Chapter 252

Chapter 252

“I used to,” Liam said, closing the trunk again. “Seems as if I have misplaced it.”

“You misplaced a spare tire?” Elaine asked, crossing her arms. “How do you even do that?”

“No idea.” Liam pulled out his phone. “We’ll have to walk to the town.”

Elaine pinched the bridge of her nose. “You did mention this trip was an adventure.”

“And it just keeps getting better and better,” Liam joked as he started walking. Elaine just sighed and followed him, grabbing her purse before leaving.

The rogue town wasn’t that much farther down the road, and they reached it in good time. Elaine half- expected some wild west–type town, something old and far more fitting the reputation of rogues.

That’s not what greeted her.

Each building was a sturdy log cabin, most of them only one–story tall. They were quaint. Almost cute. Hand–carved signs lined the road with the different shops that were in town.

The sidewalk boasted a plethora of people, all going about their day. It wasn’t some empty ghost town.

“This is actually…nice,” Elaine said.

“See? Some rogues know how to do it. This is one of their nicer towns. They attract travelers so they can earn some cash. Not much money moves around outside the territories. This is one town that’s learned to do it right,” Liam said.

He walked forward.

“If I remember correctly, there’s a mechanic around the corner,” he said. Elaine followed him, watching as some of the rogues glanced their way. It likely wasn’t often they got an Alpha coming through here.

Though none of them seemed openly hostile, Elaine still felt eyes on her and Liam the entire walk toward the mechanic.

The shop was simplistic, but looked clean, at least. There was a rogue working on a truck outside, the hood popped, and him halfway in it.

“Hey there,” Liam called with a friendly wave.

The rogue looked up. “Howdy,” he said.

“Car popped a tire not far outside. Could you help?” Liam asked.

“That all? Sure can,” he replied, leaning back over the engine of the truck. “Give me a few minutes, I’ll drive us over.”

Laam nodded. “Thanks,” he said, then glanced over at Elaine. “You want to look around while I deal with this?”
