After She's Terminal The Alpha Regrets (Elaine and Lucas) novel Chapter 73

Chapter 73

“What’s going on?” Aaron asked, moving closer to his brother. “I heard yelling.”

Lucas shoved away from the table. “Enough of this.”

“Have your guards escort Shayne out,” Liam snapped.

Aaron paused, looking between the two Alphas, then a very meek looking Shayne who finally had the decency to look somewhat ashamed of himself.

“There was a…” Elaine didn’t even know how to call it. “Some things were said.”

Aaron tilted his head. “What things?”

“False accusations,” Liam supplied, staring down Shayne now.

Finally, Shayne stood up, smoothing down his shirt. “I can see I am no longer a welcome member at this

party.

“Get out,” Liam growled.

Elaine didn’t look at Shayne, not until the other had turned and began walking away. Aaron nodded to the security, who trailed after Shayne to ensure he left. Jake and Evan remained seated awkwardly.

“Thank you…again,” Elaine said.

Liam looked at her. “Don’t thank me.” He looked at Lucas. “It’s what any decent person would do.”

Lucas let out a low growl. His wolf just beneath the surface. Everyone could sense it.

“Well then!” Ayla interrupted with a loud clasp of her hands. “That was quite excited, and not the good kind. But let’s not let it ruin the entire day.”

She jumped out of her seat and turned to Lucas.

“You still have presents to open. Let’s try and put all that nasty tension behind us, okay?” she urged, taking his arm and pulling him away from the table.

Lucas took several deep breaths and followed her. Jake and Evan stood as well.

“Yikes,” Jake muttered.

Elaine shifted awkwardly.

“Just ignore them,” Liam said quietly to her. “We both know what Shayne said is a lie.”

“Still hurts…” Elaine said.

“I won’t let anyone spread that rumor. It’s not true.”

Elaine smiled at him. She couldn’t rightly express how good it was to hear that. Especially since it wasn’t the first time some had implied she hadn’t been faithful. Although hearing it like that…

“Pretty crazy, right?” Evan said.
