After She's Terminal The Alpha Regrets (Elaine and Lucas) novel Chapter 264

Chapter 264

“No questions,” Luther cut him off easily.

That should have worried Lucas more, but instead his mind was on the rogues. “Those rogues were going to use this, somehow. On us, perhaps? But why…”

“If they have gotten control of this substance, then it is safe to assume this is not a normal pushing boundaries scheme they usually cook up. This is far more calculated,” Luther said. He settled back against the couch, seeming done with the conversation.

He looked tired.

Lucas turned toward the door. “Thank you for your help,” he said, walking out right as Cynthia arrived with tea. She stumbled back a step and he reached out to stabilize the tray.

“Sorry, Sir —”

“No need,” he replied, then glanced back towards Luther, briefly. Disgust clouded his judgement of his father and he turned to leave as the woman stepped into the room.

Lucas ignored the sounds that followed as he left the manor, and got back in his car, pulling out his phone.

It rang twice before picking up

“Alpha?” Kyle asked on the other line.

Lucas pulled out of the driveway. “I found out what the drug is. Called Rage. Induces a temporary anger and forced shift in targets. Assuming to make them turn on those around them.”

“And the rogues had it,” Kyle said thoughtfully. “Any idea what they’re planning with it?”

“No, but I’m going to try and find out. There’s some places within the territory that harbor rogues. I’m going to check them out,” Lucas said

“Need any backup?”

“I’ll be fine. I’ll be back at the estate as soon as I learn something. In the meantime, do what you can to research it as well.”

“Will do, Alpha. See you soon.”

Lucas hung up right as he was pulling up to a bar, he stopped outside of it, looking across the street to the dim entrance.

The Swindler’s Den.

He’d never been here before but he knew the kind of place. Lots of rogues hung out around places like this, trying to peddle whatever they were selling, Rooms above the bar allowed them places to stay.

Lucas hadn’t cared much about the rogues that would often come back into a pack to try and reintegrate to pack life. But this kind of scum?

This he wouldn’t stand for, though perhaps it was useful today. He pulled his suit jacket off and instead pulled a hoodie on over his head. Anything to make him look a little less corporate

He messed up his usually slicked back hair and took his watch off. Only after he’d rid himself of most of the expensive items on his person, he exited the car and entered the bar. Inside was dim and dark

Usually there were only a few rogues around, from what Lucas knew of this place. That’s not when he smelled the moment he stepped in.

He kept his head down, hoping his own scent didn’t attract too much attention as he sat at the bar. The acidic smell of the baggie in his pocket worked in his favor, it helped to mask his own Alpha musk.

The rogues barely cast him a glance, though the bartender approached. Lucas waved him off, though, uninterested in drink. He leaned against the bar, contemplating

Rogue. Lucas clocked it immediately

“You wanna buy me a drink?”
