After She's Terminal The Alpha Regrets (Elaine and Lucas) novel Chapter 76

Chapter 76

Elaine walked up the steps into the library, The smell of old books filled the air as she walked inside. The librarian looked up from her desk, where she was organizing a stack of books.

“Can I help you?” the old gamma asked,

Elaine glanced her way, smiling. “Do you have anything on mate bonds?”

The woman tilted her head, thinking for a moment. “I believe so. There should be a section near the back. Let me know if you have trouble finding it.”

“Thank you.” Elaine adjusted her bag and walked toward the back of the library, scanning the shelves for anything related to mate bonds. Or marks.

She walked down probably five different rows and was about to go back up to the front when a familiar voice called out from behind her.

“Elly!”

She turned to Liam. “You made it.”

“I said I’d come. So here I am,” Liam replied. “Having trouble?”

“Still trying to find the right section. Help me find it?” Elaine asked.

“Don’t even have to ask.”

The two of them scoured the back section of the library for any books relating to mate bonds or marks. Liam pulled something from a shelf, skimming the title and back cover.

“While we look…” Liam began slowly. “Is there anything else you want to talk about?”

He slid the book back into its place, looking at Elaine through the gap in the shelves as she stood in the opposite aisle.

“Not particularly,” Elaine said.

Liam nodded slowly, scanning an upper shelf. “Alright. Just thought…you know, since you can’t really talk to anyone else about everything that’s going on,”

Elaine stilled with her fingers tracing the spine of a memoir. With a deep breath, she rounded the shelf to look at Liam properly. “Is there something you want to talk about?”

Liam turned to her. “You’re sick, Elly.”

He’d waited longer than she thought to bring that up. She shook her head, continuing her search. Liam followed her.

“You seriously don’t want to talk about it?”

“There’s nothing to say,”
