After She's Terminal The Alpha Regrets (Elaine and Lucas) novel Chapter 256

Chapter 256

“I’m glad you think so. Not quite like the estates you have back home, huh?”

“Nothing like them.”

Remus chuckled, moving back down the hall to show her to her room at last. He opened the door. “And this is where you will be staying. Charlie already has your bag in here, but you may unpack at your leisure if you wish.”

Elaine looked around the room. Despite it being rather big, it felt rather cozy. The dark wood made it feel warm, rather than big and empty. A fireplace sat, crackling softly in the far corner. A king–sized bed was on the back wall.

A door to the left led to a bathroom and walk–in closet. A table sat to the right.

“It’s amazing, thank you,” Elaine said, stepping inside. Sure enough, her bag was already there, sitting on a trunk at the end of the bed.

“I have some work to do, but I’ll get you some snacks. You two have free run of the house until then,” Remus said. He turned to Liam. “And it’s good to have you back, Son.”

“Good to be back.” Liam watched his dad walk down the hall before he turned to look at Elaine. “Well? First thoughts?”

“This place is amazing, Liam. I feel like I’m staying at a luxury ski resort,” Elaine teased.

“Ah, come on. It’s much more lived–in than that.” Liam stepped into the room. “This is only the tip c the iceberg. There’s so much I want to show you and so many people you should meet!”

“Well, we’ve got some time today,” Elaine said, glancing out the window before turning back to Liam. Let’s go!”

Liam drove slowly down the main street, allowing her to take in all the sights of the Moonwatch Capital City. He kept casting a glance her way, noting the fascinated expression on her face and the wonder in her eyes.

“It’s like a permanent winter up here,” Elaine mused.

“The snow does go away sometimes,” Liam said as he saw the Capitol building ahead of them. He pulled into a parking spot, turning off the car.

The Capitol building was made of a brick foundation and a wooden roof, piled high with snow. She stepped out of the car.

“So we’re meeting someone here?” she asked.
