Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

x Chapter 0112 Chapter 0112 +25 BONUS The sound of Alexanders voice spurred David into action , but he wasnt fast enough .

With two loud bangs , the door burst open .

Alexander strode in , a look of anger on his face .

His eyes fixed on me immediately and i saw the expression freeze as he took in the scene .

David was standing between me and Alexander with a stunned look on his face .

Clearly , he was as surprised by Alexanders sudden appearance as I was .

With sudden force , he surged forward , throwing a punch that landed with a sharp crack against Davids jaw.

Davids head snapped to the side , and his hand shot up to his face , staggering back several feet .

David cursed under his breath and squared up to fight , but despite everything , I found myself smiling .

I knew Alexander wouldnt let him get away with this .

Keep your filthy hands off of her ! Alexander ordered .

The outrage in his voice was unmistakable , and despite the terror of the situation , a thrill surged through me .

I knew , deep down , that Alexander would protect me .

He would never allow David to hurt me not while he was around .

David muttered a string of curses , a sure sign that he knew how much trouble he was in .

Alexanders eyes looked past David , fixing on mine .

I found myself unable to focus on anything else .

The rest of the room seemed to fall away as I was staring up at Alexander , his expression a mix of concern and fury .

Are you all right ? he asked softly , his voice filled with worry .

Before I could answer , a blur of motion flashed through my vision .

Davids fist collided with Alexanders jaw .

I cried out in shock as Alexander staggered backward but , incredibly , he didnt fall .

Youre going to pay for that, Alexander growled , his voice dangerously low , eyes locked on David .

I leaned heavily on my weak arms and pushed myself away from the edge of the bedI felt both impossibly light- headed and unbearably heavy all at once , but even through the fog clouding my mind , I recognized something unsettling the same dangerous edge Id seen in Alexander the other night , when he had frightened Lily in the restaurant .

There was a simmering fury lurking beneath Alexanders calm exterior , something I had only caught glimpses of in the past .

Now , it seemed like he was going to unleash it on David .

I wanted to tell him to calm down , to let the guards handle it .

The last thing I wanted was a scene in the middle of the capital or for any negative rumors about Alexander to spread .

But given the situation , I knew there was nothing I could say to stop what was coming .

The raw rage in Davids eyes made it clear this wasnt going to end without a fight .

I dont know who you think you are , David growled , his voice low and menacing , but this is my girl , and Im not letting you leave here with her .

You have no right to talk about Ella like that , Alexander replied , his tone ice cold .

And Im going to show you what happens to people who disrespect my woman .

Who the hell do you think you are ? David said angrily .

Ella , are you hurt ? Alexander asked , not taking his eyes off David .

Somethings wrong , I said weakly , my head spinning and my body feeling like lead .

I can hardly move .

1/3 Chapter 0112 +25 BONUS A sharp , bitter sound escaped Alexander as he took a step closer to David .

Youve drugged her , then .

You cant prove anything , David replied with a smug grin Dont be so cocky , Alexander shot back , his voice low and dangerous .

Your little plan isnt as foolproof as you thought .

You mightve drugged my guard too , but he had the sense to call me before he lost consciousness .

Now youve got me to deal with , and Id bet that wasnt part of your plan .

I dont need a plan to deal with you , David sneered .

Youre not nearly as great as you think you are .

Why dont we find out ? Alexander said , cracking his knuckles .

In a blink , he rushed forward .

His fist connected with Davids stomach , the impact forcing David to double over , gasping for air .

Despite having the wind knocked out of him , David wasnt down for long .

He quickly stood up straight and lunged forward , tackling Alexander and sending them both tumbling to the ground .

I wanted to look away , but I couldnt tear my eyes from the scene .

I had to know what was happening , my mind racing for a solution something , anything , that could stop this before someone got seriously hurt .

But nothing came to me .

And then , I became distracted by something about Alexander .

There was a change in him , something different in the way he moved .

We had spent a lot of time together , and I had come to know him well , but this side of him had only surfaced once before at the restaurant when he proposed .

There was a palpable aura of danger around him now , something I couldnt quite explain .

Alexander was back on his feet within seconds .

He grabbed David by the hair and yanked him forward , then brought his knee up , connecting with Davids chin .

Davids head snapped back , and he stumbled , clutching his jaw in pain .

Youre never going to put your hands on Ella again , Alexander growled , his voice thick with restrained rage .

The intensity in his tone caught me off guard , sending a shiver down my spine .

Why are you meddling in my affairs in the first place ? David demanded as he got to his feet before rushing forward and throwing a sloppy punch at Alexander .

Alexander easily dodged it , his expression calm and cold .

Im not meddling in anything , Alexander replied icily .

You had your chance with Ella , and you threw it away .

Shes a beautiful , intelligent woman from a respectable family .

You couldnt possibly have thought she would stay single for long .

I dont know what game the two of you are playing , David spat , his voice shaking with fury .

But Im not going to let you get away with it ! He swung wildly again , but this time , Alexander caught him by the wrist , pulling him off balance .

In one smooth motion , Alexander swept Davids feet out from under him , sending him crashing hard onto the ground .

Youre not very good at this , Alexander said , his voice completely devoid of amusement or teasing , as if he were -merely stating a fact .

Freak , David muttered , struggling to his feet .

Maybe , Alexander replied , a hint of disdain in his tone .

But at least Im not a pathetic excuse for a man who cheats on a woman and then behaves like a petulant child when she leaves .

Alexanders words struck me deeply .

The betrayal I had experienced because of David and Amanda was intense , and it was comforting to hear Alexander call David out for his disrespect .

It felt as if he understood my pain better than most whether from his own past or simply his empathetic nature , 2/3 Chapter 0112 I didnt know , but it soothed me .

What would you know about it ? David growled .

+25 BONUS All I know , Alexander replied coolly , is that Ella is my fiancée now , and you will not come near her again .

Do you think you can stop me ? David demanded .

I know I can , Alexander shot back .

The only question is whether Im going to have to make it permanent or if youll learn your lesson .
