After She's Terminal The Alpha Regrets (Elaine and Lucas) novel Chapter 84

Chapter 84

Elaine stood just outside the Council room chambers. She paced in front of the gathered Alpha’s. Twisting her hands together. This was it. She had the support she needed yet it still all came down to the Council’s decision.

She glanced around the gathered group. Alex, Volk, Liam. Even Nancy was here. Only one was missing.

“Where is Adrian?” she asked.

Nancy cast a quick look around. “He should be here any moment. We were discussing the details of today last night.”

Elaine nodded. So he was simply running late. That was okay. They still had what, five minutes until they would be called inside? She paced again.

“Elly,” Liam said. “Calm down. He’ll be here. Even if he isn’t, you still have the support of the Alphas. The

Council won’t say no.”

“You don’t know that,” Elaine said. Then took a deep breath. “I’m just nervous.”

“Really? I couldn’t tell,” Liam teased. He’d been tense all morning, ever since Volk showed up. Though his own feelings about Volk were trumped by his feelings for Elaine. And she didn’t need more tension right now.

Elaine gave him a look, but there was no heat in it. She took a deep breath, trying to simply tell herself this was another meeting like all the others. She’d done the hard part already, right? Convincing Volk and the other Alphas.

This was supposed to be the easy part.

“I’m here,” Adrian called, hurrying down the hall toward him.

Elaine sighed in relief. “Thank goddess, I thought you weren’t going to come.”

She needed to show the Council that she had the proper backing to run this foundation. Especially since she wouldn’t be around to keep it running. It had to have proper support.

“Yeah, but Elaine, there is something I wanted to–”

The doors to the Council chambers opened. An attendant stood there and nodded to them.

“They’re ready for you,” she said with a nod.

Elaine glanced at Adrian. “It will have to wait until after. Come on.”
