After She's Terminal The Alpha Regrets (Elaine and Lucas) novel Chapter 300

Chapter 300

Elaine snapped the journal closed and ran out of the secret room. If she hurried, maybe she could stop them from coming in. Or maybe she could get out by catching them off guard.

Yet her rush to the door was cut off when it wasn’t Selim that entered, nor Mia. It was someone Elaine did not know. At least, she didn’t think she did.

The stranger wore a mask that covered their entire face, and a hood to hide even their hair. The mask had no details. Just plain white, in the shape of a face. Not a single sliver of skin was seen on their body. The rest of them was covered in black clothing, obscuring the details but not the form, which no doubt belonged to a woman.

“You have something of mine,” the woman said, her voice distorted by the mask.

Elaine stiffened, pulling the journal behind her back. “Who are you?”

“Of no importance to you.”

“Of no importance?” Elaine repeated. Her anger sent a flare of feeling through her body. Her wolf responded with a growl. “You’re the reason I’m sick, aren’t you? This is your fault! You’re behind the Fountain of Youth Experiment.”

The woman made no move. None at all. Elaine hated that she can’t see the others face. Can’t tell what emotion is playing there. But the woman doesn’t try to lunge. Just stands there.

“The unfortunate Beta. The second subject. I did not choose you, it is not my fault,” she said, then tilted her head forward. “But perhaps I am already saying too much.”

“You’re not saying enough! You used me to experiment on a drug that would kill your husband! Whoever that is. Whoever you are!” Elaine trembled slightly. Anger pouring off of her now.

She finally had someone to direct it at. Someone to blame.

She’d been sick for so long now with no one to blame but fate. Except it wasn’t fate that she was ill. She’d been poisoned. Drugged. Made to be failing in body.

And standing before her was finally a target for all the fear and desperation she’d felt the past few months. It all came together in anger.

“You’re quite clever,” the woman said, stepping forward into the room. Despite all her fury, Elaine took a step back. “Who brought you in here?”

“I’m not answering any of your questions. Not until you answer mine!”

She chucked lightly, the sound warped by her expressionless mask. “It was the Richter boy, wasn’t it? Mia told me he’d brought you in. Kidnapped, actually.”

“So you’re Mia’s superior,” Elaine muttered, trying to piece together all the information she’d been learning.

“Not exactly,” the woman said.

That only confused Elaine further. Unless this woman was the one who wrote the journal. Then perhaps it was her husband who was also involved in all of this. But she didn’t have time to think it all through

now.

The masked woman closed the door behind her. It locked. “I have not kept up with what’s been going on with you in some time. You are in far better health than one might think. How?”

Elaine kept her mouth shut this time, taking a wary step to the side as the woman once more stepped further into the room.

“Not talking? How rude. You come into my office, wreck the place, steal my belongings, and refuse to answer my questions?” The woman gestured around the room, to the now cluttered desk and books that scattered the floor.

“You can’t blame me for trying to get out.”

“I never wanted you here,” the woman said. “If you hadn’t caused all this trouble, I might have let you go without contest.”

Elaine narrowed her eyes, stepping behind the desk to put something between herself and this stranger.

“Give me the journal.”

The woman wasn’t asking, yet Elaine hadn’t read it cover to cover yet. She needed to know….
