After She's Terminal The Alpha Regrets (Elaine and Lucas) novel Chapter 267

Chapter 267

Early the next morning, Elaine arrived at the Foundation. Harriet was with her, having driven her here, and walked with her inside.

“You sure you’ll be okay today? You looked pretty shaken up..” Harriet said.

Elaine pulled her phone out, looking down at the screen where she was expecting to receive a text back from Liam. Nothing yet. Here she thought she was the one who was bad at replying…

“I’ll be okay. Adrian is here today and I need to keep my mind distracted for a bit,” Elaine said.

Harriet looked around the space. “This place always did have a calm sort of feeling about it, didn’t it?”

She stopped at the front desk as Elaine looked over to see the receptionist wasn’t there.

“Looks like the work is already starting,” Harriet said, tapping the counter “I should go. Call me if you need anything.”

“Thank you, Harriet,” Elaine said

Harriet turned and left, walking back out of the building. Elaine watched her leave before sitting down at the front desk. She clicked on the computer and scrolled through some of the updates that happened while she was gone

It looked like the long–term housing apartments were filling up Good. Maybe if they had room in the budget, they could purchase another apartment building to help even more of the poverty–striken within the pack

Though as she scrolled through the numbers, the door behind her leading to the employee section opened.

“Elaine,” Adrian said warmly

She turned around in the chair and smiled. “Adrian,” she said and stood up. The two met in the middle

and embraced.

“Have a good vacation?” he asked.

“Well…it started good. Didn’t end all that well. I trust you’ve seen the news,” Elaine said.

“Haven’t been watching it ever since Lucas banned rogues from the pack. Far too depressing,” Adrić muttered.

“Don’t you mean since Liam banned rogues?”

He tilted his head to the side. “No. I mean Lucas. He did it a few days ago. They’re rounding up rogues and sending them out of the pack.”

“Even the ones trying to reintegrate into a pack?” Elaine asked.

“Yup. Until this crisis is over, the ban is in place.”

Elaine returned to the chair and sat down heavily. “That’s…wow, I hadn’t realized. I suppose it makes sense, but those poor rogues…”

“Most of them are connected to the attacks on the border. Lucas doesn’t want to take any chances.”

“I’m not surprised. Liam did the same thing after rogues tried their own attack in Moonwatch,” Elaine muttered, her mind going back to the gala. To Bjorn. To the blood.

She closed her eyes.

“We’ve been getting an influx of wolves at the foundation because of it. Most of them rogues,” Adrian said with a sigh. “I don’t trust many of the ones who come through here. They look like trouble.”

“You’ve been letting them stay?” Elaine asked.

“Only because I knew you’d want to give them a chance. If they showed their true colors…”

“They showed their true colors at Liam’s gala. They have this drug they’re using, I don’t know what it is, but it made so many shifters turn feral. Even Liam’s beta turned on him. And on me.” Elaine rubbed her
