After She's Terminal The Alpha Regrets (Elaine and Lucas) novel Chapter 43

Chapter 43

Liam hadn’t heard anything that Elaine had said. Nothing from the commotion before, and only the frustration in her voice just now as he’d walked over. She’d seemed upset enough he wanted to intervene.

And Lucas was the one making her upset. So Liam wanted to upset him back. Maybe it was petty, he didn’t

care.

Mainly, he was doing this for Elaine.

“I can take you home,” Liam reiterated.

Lucas was fuming from where he stood, nails digging into his palms. Knuckles white.

“That’s a kind offer–” Elaine began.

“No.” Lucas growled. And it was a growl. He couldn’t help it. His wolf raged against the idea of Liam trying to pull Elaine away. Again. “If you’re going home, I will take you. Elaine, come. Now.”

The orders were snapped.

Elaine turned slowly to Lucas, looking at him with disbelief. Was he seriously doing this again? Trying to order her around like she was that same submissive wife?

Even Liam winced.

Elaine looked back over at him and, very pointedly, said, “I could use a ride, actually. Thank you, Liam.”

Lucas bristled. His wolf snarled.

Liam nodded his head to the side, and Elaine started toward the doors. He then went and hurried ahead to open the door for her.

Lucas’ lip curled up. He wanted to chase after them and rip Liam away from her. Wanted to pull Elaine right back into his orbit, as she used to be. Where she belonged.

He started walking before his mind could catch up with what he was doing.

“Lucas!”

A voice from behind that he ignored.

“Lucas.”

He reached the door, fingers curling around the handle as he looked through the glass to the parking lot. Elaine was getting into Liam’s car. Not even looking back.

“Alpha!” A hand grabbed him from behind and pulled him around before he could wrench the door open.

Lucas snarled at whoever it was before he could stop himself, his wolf snapping its fangs inside his chest.
