After She's Terminal The Alpha Regrets (Elaine and Lucas) novel Chapter 262

Chapter 262

The room erupted in applause as everyone turned to Liam. He raised a hand in a brief wave. Elaine laughed lightly as she saw how uncomfortable he looked with all these eyes on him.

“I thought you were used to attention,” Elaine said.

“It’s been a while since I’ve had hundreds of eyes on me. Acting confident and being confident are two very different things.”

Her smile turned warm as she took Liam’s arm. His chest immediately puffed up and he looked down at her, adoration shining in his eyes.

“Now,” Remus said from the stage, “Please continue to enjoy yourselves. The buffet is filled and drinks are on the Alpha tonight!”

A cheer went up through the room.

Liam laughed. “I suppose that’s only fitting.”

The gala continued. Elaine stayed by Liam’s side as he led her through the room, introducing her to several officials alongside friends of his.

Elaine had never before felt so welcomed by a pack. Not even her own.

Everyone met her with a handshake, or even a hug, and exclaimed just how glad they were she was her None of them actually knew who she was, not really, but they all seemed genuine enough.

They met up with Bjorn halfway through the night, who looked rather uncomfortable in a tight suit tl looked a size too small on him.

“Need to get you to a tailor, my friend!” Liam said, nudging Bjorn’s arm.

Bjorn groaned. “Spare me the bore. I don’t need another man taking my measurements for three hours straight.”

“It only takes so long because you squirm so much,” Liam muttered.

Elaine laughed, looking down at her glass. Empty. She’d already had two glasses of wine so far. But she was having a good fun, her cheeks flushed with either the heat of the room or perhaps the alcohol.

“I’m going to get another drink,” Elaine said.

Liam glanced at her. “Don’t have too much!”

Elaine only laughed, turning to head toward the buffet bar. Behind her, she heard how Bjorn said he needed something to drink too. Of course he did. He looked flushed and angry. It was almost funny.

Poor guy.

She still wanted to talk with him more about being a bear shifter. There was so much she was curious

about.
