After She's Terminal The Alpha Regrets (Elaine and Lucas) novel Chapter 316

Liam rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly as he looked between Harriet and Elaine.

Elaine’s gaze slid over to him. “You didn’t explain anything to her?”

“Well, not really. There were other things on my mind at the time…” Liam admitted. She only laughed and turned back to Harriet. “I’ll leave you two to it.”

Liam made a retreat back to his car and Harriet stepped aside, hand still at her hip, to allow Elaine in.

“Well…lots has happened,” Elaine mumbled.

“I’ll say!” Harriet said, slamming the door closed, though wincing at the hard thud. She hadn’t meant to put so much force in it. She dusted off her pants to try and ease some of her tension. “That, if I’m not mistaken, is a new mate mark!”

“You can tell?” Elaine asked.

“Well it’s not the one Lucas gave you. And it’s still red from forming. I knew there was something between you and Liam! I knew it!” Harriet said, marching toward the kitchen.

Elaine couldn’t help but laugh as she followed her friend. “It’s a long story what’s been going on the past few days…”

“Well, we’ve got time!” Harriet grabbed two glasses and a bottle of wine. She tipped the bottle toward Elaine.

“It’s still morning,” Elaine argued.

Harriet laughed. “It’s just one glass. And besides, I think we’re both going to need it.

Elaine hesitated a moment, before shrugging. “Ah, what the hell. Let’s get into it.”

She spent the next hour explaining to Harriet everything that had been going on. From the labs, to Selim, to what happened with Lucas and Liam at the hospital. And toward the end of it, she finally spoke to Harriet about one thing she’d been keeping for months.
