After She's Terminal The Alpha Regrets (Elaine and Lucas) novel Chapter 261

Chapter 261

“A gala? You said your dad was throwing you a ‘little party‘,” Elaine said as she paced her room. “I don’t have anything to get dressed up for a gala! Besides, I’m not sure I’m really up for it…”

Liam sat on the edge of the bed, watching her pace, going from the center of the room, to the window, then back again. “You don’t need to have brought anything, my mom is willing to help. Besides, it’ll be a good distraction.”

He finally stood up and walked over to her, intercepting her pacing path. She stopped to look up at him. ” You’ve had a lot on your mind recently. This gala will be fun, get your mind off things…”

He was right.

Elaine had been stressing over what Ayla had said more recently. But there was little she could actually do about it while here.

Maybe it would be nice to get her mind off things for a change.

“But you said it’s tonight?” Elaine asked.

Liam nodded. “My mom has a dress for you, don’t worry. Come on, it’ll be fun!”

She sighed, thinking it over. She was already in the Moonwatch Territory, she should make the most of it while she was here.

So after a moment, Elaine nodded. “Alright, alright. I’ll go.”

“Yes! I’ll go get Nancy. She’ll be so ecstatic,” Liam said and hurried out of the room. Elaine smiled briefly.

It was nice to see Liam so happy. He’d been practically bouncing off the walls since they’d gotten here. He really enjoyed his home. He didn’t have this same sort of excitement in the Wind Wolf Territory.

At least not to this extreme. It was like everything done here was infinity better. Elaine knew, then, that truly the only reason Liam had stayed in Wind Wolf for so long was because of her.

It’s not that he enjoyed it more over there, it was simply because of her.

The thought twisted something in her chest. She cared deeply for Liam, but with the thought that she might not actually die to her illness, if she really was getting better, was being him with what she actually wanted?

Or had she only been willing because her illness made it so?

The doubts crept into her mind and she had no idea what to think. No idea what to want. *

Nancy walked in.
