After She's Terminal The Alpha Regrets (Elaine and Lucas) novel Chapter 274

Chapter 274

Elaine froze as the sudden seriousness in his tone. She nodded. “I’m okay.”

“Not still mad about our last conversation?”

“No,” Elaine replied. She shifted back on her heels. “Well…I’d better get going.”

Lucas noticed her getting her keys out. On a workday and she wasn’t headed back to the Foundation?

“What are you up to today?” Lucas asked, casually, though he was curious.

“Nothing much,” Elaine replied. She wasn’t about to tell him what she was doing today, he’d stop her

for sure.

“Alright…keep your secrets,” Lucas teased, turning to go. “But I’ll…”

He stopped. The wind had shifted. He inhaled deeply.

Elaine watched his expression turn. “I’ll see you around,” she finished for him, her brow furrowing.

“That smell…” he mumbled, looking at Elaine briefly, then back toward the Foundation. “Wait here.”

He started walking toward the Foundation, his stride long and determined. Elaine wasn’t about to listen to him, especially when he was marching toward her own Foundation like that.

So she followed.

She caught up with him in a few jogging steps. “Lucas, what is it?”

“I smell an outsider.”

He pushed the door open and went inside.

Elaine’s eyes widened. “You smell…”

She ran in after him, grabbing his arm.

“Lucas, you can’t just come barging in here, this is a private orginization–”

“Are you hiding someone here?” Lucas asked and turned to her, seeing no other reason she’d be so defensive. “Is there a rogue in this building?”

Elaine hesitated, swallowing thickly. “Lucas, please–”

“I’m not going to ask again, Elaine. Where is it? Where is the rogue?” Lucas snapped, pushing past her and walking down the hall. “You thought I wouldn’t be able to tell? They smell nothing like the pack. Their stink lingers.”

“Lucas–!”
