After She's Terminal The Alpha Regrets (Elaine and Lucas) novel Chapter 79

Chapter 79

“My, my, my.” The rumbling voice cut through Ayla’s bitter words. “Is that a little wolf I see?”

Elaine’s eyes widened and she turned to the voice she was starting to recognize so well.

Volk.

He walked up to them. His tuxedo was a blend of black and dark red, with golden accents. The mask upon his face covered over half of it, with swirling designs of red and gold.

“And who are you?” Ayla asked, placing a hand on her hip. “We’re in the middle of a conversation!”

“One that I feel so sympathy for interrupting,” Volk replied, holding a gloved hand out to Elaine. “If I may steal you away from this most unworthy company?”

Ayla scoffed. Lucas narrowed his eyes.

Elaine was simply glad to have an excuse to leave. She lifted her hand, placing it in his. The leather of his gloves creaked quietly as his fingers closed around hers, and he led her away from Lucas and Ayla, and

toward the dance floor.

“Thank you for the save,” Elaine said.

“I did not realize you needed it. Though it is a pleasure.”

Elaine looked up at him, his face obscured by the mask. “How did you know it was me?”

“Your hair,” Volk replied stopping in the center of the floor to turn and face her. “It is the most unique

shade.”

He lifted his hand, as if to touch, but instead brought her own up. His other hand slid around her waist.

“Won’t you humor me a second time?” Volk asked.

“II thought coming to this ball was enough,” Elaine replied.

Volk replied. “When is it ever?”

He spun her around before she could protest again, then brought her right back to his front. Elaine couldn’t say she’d done much dancing before. Lucas had never been one for it. But Volk led her through the motions as if he’d done this a thousand times before.

“You’re quite good,” Volk said.

“Only because you’re leading.”

“Then you’re quite good at following.”

Elaine’s brow furrowed but they continued through the flowing movements.

“Tell me, little wolf, were you born within the Wind Wolf Pack?”
