After She's Terminal The Alpha Regrets (Elaine and Lucas) novel Chapter 58

Chapter 58

Dacas stumbled backward, falling into the wall. He braced a hand against it, the other at his jaw, adjusting it. He

stared at Liam in disbelief.

Elaine opened her mouth but the words caught in her throat. She couldn’t believe it. Liam had actually…

“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” Liam yelled, stepping closer to Lucas who quickly shoved off the wall and straightened up. Ready this time for another purch.

“What does it look like!” Lucas shoved Liam backward by the shoulders, invading the others space.

“If you reject her here, while she’s like this, you could kill her!” Liam grabbed Lucas’ wrist and forced his hand away. “She was just attacked by an assassin. In her own home! And your first thought is to completely break the mate bond? While she’s bleeding in a hospital bed?”

Elaine had never heard such venom in Liam’s voice before. She’d never had something stand up for her so vehemently before.

“Keep your hands off me, Liam. You have no right! After you’ve been trying to steal my wife all this time!”

“She’s not yours. I think she’s made that pretty damn clear by wanting a divorce.”

Kyle stepped between the two Alphas, hands visibly shaking. The tension in the room was like a live wire ready to go off at any moment.

Elaine set her feet back on the floor, not standing up but ready to try and intervene again if necessary.

“Enough, both of you!” Kyle said.

Liam’s wolf was snarling inside him. He felt that same protective rage he had the night of the break-in.

“Why should I back down?” Lucas said, stepping forward.

“Because this divorce is happening whether you want it to or not. It’s your father, Lucas.” Kyle looked up at him. ” He’s calling. Now stand down.”

The anger in him dimmed, and Lucas took a deep breath. It didn’t exactly work in calming him down. Liam took a step back, but only so he could turn to Elaine.

“Are you alright?”

Elaine nodded. “I am. You didn’t have to do that…”

“Yes, I did.” Liam looked down at her bandages. “Did a stitch pop?”

“I don’t think it’s fresh,” she assured him.
