After She's Terminal The Alpha Regrets (Elaine and Lucas) novel Chapter 268

Chapter 268

“And no ill intent. Alert the security. If the rogues are here to join the pack, we’ll do what we can to keep Lucas‘ officers off their tails,” Elaine said.

Adrian nodded once more and turned to go, but stopped a few steps away. He turned back to her. “1 meant to tell you, there was a rogue who came in a few days ago.”

“And?”

“Well, he said he knew something about Ayla. Something you might want to know,” Adrian said.

Elaine blinked in surprise. “About Ayla?”

“Yeah. I think you’ve met him before, at least he seemed to think so. He’s in one of the short term housing, East wing, Room H12”

“Thank you, Adrian,” Elaine said Adrian turned once more and left.

Elaine didn’t wait another moment, she got up and hurried down the hall, mind trying to filter through the rogues she knew. She didn’t know very many, and didn’t think any that she did knew who Ayla even

was

She made it to the room and paused, taking a breath, then knocked.

“Yup?” a voice from inside answered.

“It’s Elaine. I heard you might want to speak with me?”

The door opened a second later and none of than Slater stood there. The rogue from the bar who’d helped Elaine and Liam find out more about Jaxx Riley. That rogue who’d tried to ruin the foundation’s

reputation

“Slater,” Elaine said, placing her hands on her hips

“Good to see you again.”

“Never thought I’d see you here,” Elaine said

Slater stepped aside to allow Elaine into the room “Neither did ! Until Lucas‘ new law came into action. Been keeping my head down since.”

“I can imagine…” Elaine said, looking around the room. He kept it tidy, from the looks of things. No smell of that acidic drug anywhere. “You’re not with the rogues attacking the border, are you?”

Slater chuckled. “You think so?”

“Just asking,” Elaine said and turned to look at him, searching his face for any signs of a lie.

“No. I’m not with them. I was quite content where I was,” Slater replied honestly. “Now half the gang I

“Gang?” Elaine interrupted.

“Friends. Bikers,” Slater replied. “Half of ‘em are already shipped out of the territory. Those damn rogues attacking the border ruined it for the rest of us. Had it nice here”

“You don’t blame Lucas?”

“Partly,” Slater muttered. “His law’s the one kicking us out, but I know why he’s doing it. Can’t trust all of us. So many have been coming in recently, I’d been wondering myself if they’d been planning something.”

Elaine pinched the bridge of her nose. “This situation is a mess. ”

She took a breath, looking up at him. “But I heard you had something that might interest me?”

“Yeah, maybe. I’ve seen seeing on the news that Ayla had prison time”

“Mental asylum time, more like. She’s really gone off the deep end…” Elaine muttered.
