After She's Terminal The Alpha Regrets (Elaine and Lucas) novel Chapter 66

Chapter 66

Nancy got the meeting room from a very kind receptionist and they walked the halls of the sprawling capital building.

“This isn’t what I was expecting,” Elaine said.

“Green Hills prides itself on presentation,” Nancy replied. “They are all about appearances.”

That almost made Elaine smile. “Then they should want to support a non-profit. Looks good for their reption

“Exactly,” Nancy replied in a voice that Elaine could only describe as calculating. This was a purposeful choice for their first endorsement.

They found the room and pushed the door open. Both Nancy and Elaine froze. Two figures were seated inside already, but not the officials Nancy had thought they’d be meeting. It was Alpha Alex himself and his Luna.

Elaine’s nerves slammed back into her, her chest tightening, gut twisting. Nancy stepped into the room first.

“Ah! Elaine and Nancy,” Alex said and stood, rounding the table to shake their hands. “Thank you for coming out all this way.”

“A true pleasure, Alpha,” Nancy replied with a nod, then glanced to the meek woman at the table. “Luna Yen.”

Yen offered a small smile. “Nice to see you.”

Elaine’s words caught in her throat before she cleared it and shook her head, centering herself. “Alpha Alex, I was not expecting a direct audience with you today,” she said.

“Well, it’s not every day an ex-Luna comes knocking. I was curious.” Alex returned to his seat and gestured for them to take their own. “Tell me what it is you need.”

Elaine took a deep breath. “Of course, well, I’m trying to open up a non-profit, neutral between the packs. A foundation to help those in need.”

Alex nodded, writing something down on a piece of paper before him. “A noble pursuit indeed.”

“What kind?” Yen asked.

“Well, it encompasses more than one simple pursuit. It’s a shelter, a clinic, a kitchen. I won’t bore you with the logistics,” Elaine said.

Alex chuckled. “Sounds like quite the project. And opening neutral territory isn’t always easy.”

“Especially as the Council is concerned,” Nancy chimed in. She leaned forward on the table. “We already have the support of Alpha Liam of the Moonwatch Pack. And we’d like to credit yours in helping this establishment come to life as well.”

Alex looked between the two of them, his hands steepled together. Before his lips tugged into a smile. “I would love to help–”

“That’s great!” Elaine exclaimed.
