Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 0102 Ella POV Alexander knelt in front of me and took my hand in his .

My breath caught in my chest as I stared at him in disbelief .

We hadnt talked about this beforehand I wasnt prepared .

I could feel the eyes of the other diners on us , and I could already hear the whispers as they realized what was happening .

Ella Rowan , Alexander said steadily , his gaze unwavering .

I know weve only been seeing each other for a month , but its been the best month of my life .

Having you by my side has made me feel more confident and happier .

I hope youll agree to stay by my side as my wife .

From the inner pocket of his suit jacket , Alexander retrieved a small velvet ring box .

I stared , wide eyed , as he revealed a stunning solitaire diamond set on a gold band and held it out to me .

Will you marry me ? I felt my mouth move a few times before the word finally tumbled out .

Yes.

With a radiant smile , Alexander slipped the ring onto my finger .

Applause rippled through the restaurant as Alexander stood and pulled me into his arms , lifting me off my feet .

with the strength of his hug .

I held on tightly , giggling as he spun me in a circle before gently setting me back , down .

The people around us , mostly Alphas and Lunas who no doubt recognized us , cheered and called out their congratulations , I had no doubt that news of our engagement would spread quickly .

That was likely why Alexander had chosen this place this trendy , upscale restaurant was a magnet for people who loved to share stories .

Then , Alexander pulled me into a kiss , catching me by surprise .

I surrendered to it immediately , melting into his embrace as the world around us seemed to fade away .

His touch made my head swim , emotions surging through me , almost overwhelming .

Then , someone in the restaurant whistled teasingly , and I broke away from Alexander , a blush creeping across my face .

Alexander looked amused , his eyes twinkling with mischief as he placed a light kiss on my lips before releasing me from his embrace .

Thank you , he said , turning to the onlookers with a charming grin .

Congratulations ! a few people shouted .

I muttered a quick thank you , then awkwardly returned to my seat .

Alexander sat across from me with a sheepish smile .

Perhaps I should have waited until after our meal , he said .

Tlaughed softly .

Maybe , I agreed .

Its going to feel like everyones staring at us for the rest of the night .

Thankfully , the awkward moment was interrupted by our waiters approach .

A dish was placed in front of me , the savory aroma of roasted meat and herbs filling the air .

I inhaled deeply , savoring the scent .

I glanced at Alexander , who wore a triumphant smile .

Was it a good choice ? he asked , his voice teasing .

It certainly smells wonderful , I replied with a soft smile .

The waiter gave a polite bow before leaving us alone once more .

I see no reason to wat .

Have a taste .

1 picked up my fork , rolling my eyes at him playfully .

You dont need to be so smug , I muttered .

The dish was rosemary chicken with roasted vegetables .

I took a small bite , and the flavor exploded across my tongue .

I set my fork down and covered my mouth with my hand , stunned .

It was possibly the best dish Id ever tasted .

Alexanders sinug smile grew .

I know youre not a fan of the overly fancy dishes , he said .

So , I had them prepare something off menu just for you .

Its incredible , I said , my eyes wide with appreciation .

So , I wasnt exaggerating when I said I know you well , Alexander teased .

Dont you agree ? Im afraid I must agree , I said with an exaggerated sigh Alexander laughed , and warmth spread through my heart at the sound .

I couldnt help but smile back at him .

I hadnt expected the night to take this turn , but the lightness I felt in my chest was undeniable , a feeling I hadnt experienced in a long time .
