Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 0116 Chapter 0116 Ella POV The fog over my mind was distracting , but even with it , one thought kept replaying in my head : I had never seen Alexander like that .

He was always so calm , so in control teasing , suré , laid back occasionally but never like that .

It wasnt just anger that I saw .

No , the word didnt even feel adequate to describe what had unfolded in front of me .

The way he looked at David during their fight , with that steely calmness , sent a shiver down my spine .

And then … when David made that remark about my wolf , for a brief moment , I truly believed Alexander was going to kill him .

It was hard to hear everything over the pounding in my head , but I couldve sworn I heard Alexander growl .

Not a sound of frustration , not the irritated grumble Id heard from others before it was something much darker .

A warning .

It was as if he was telling David to prepare for what was coming , a promise of danger if he pushed any further .

But Alexander didnt act on it .

He just stood there , glaring at David like he was something vile beneath his feet , while David , grinning like a madman , taunted him .

Alexanders face grew more still , more stone like with every passing second , and that terrified me more than anything .

No one reacts like that over a mere business partner .

No one gets that protective over an acquaintance .

As much as I didnt want to admit it , the fight between Alexander and David wasnt just about defending my honor .

It was proof that our arrangement had become something much deeper than I had ever intended it to be .

And the worst part ? I wasnt the only one who had become too invested .

Alexander cared about me .

I could see it now , clear as day .

And I wasnt sure if that was a good thing or not .

I didnt want to drag Alexander any deeper into a situation I had no control over .

It was becoming painfully clear that since my second chance began , I had affected David more than Id realized .

He had become unhinged , and while I had always known he was dangerous , I could no longer predict how he would react .

I had no idea how far he would go , and the thought of Alexander getting hurt because of me was unbearable .

I didnt want anyone else to be hurt because of me .

The doctor hardly said a word to me through the examination .

I could tell that she was very concerned by the stony look on her face .

When she was finished , she smiled tightly at me and left the room , going in the direction that Alexander had gone .

Several minutes later , Alexander walked back into the room and sat beside me on the couch , his presence grounding me in the chaos swirling inside my head .

I spoke to your father , he said .

Hes going to be in contact with the kings guards to discuss what to do about David .

Was he okay ? I asked , biting my lip .

He wasnt too worried , was he ? He was angry , Alexander replied , his voice calm but edged with understanding .

But thats to be expected .

As for being worried … well , he agreed it would be best for you to stay here tonight .

Travel will only make things worse and could slow down your recovery .

I smiled weakly , shaking my head .

I appreciate that , but I think it would be better if I went home .

Im already feeling much better , and I really dont want to be in your way .

1/2 Chapter 0116 +25 BONUS Alexanders eyes softened as he tilted his head slightly , his gaze steady on mine .

I know youre not feeling better .

Besides that , youre not in my way .

What gave you that impression ? I hesitated , unsure if I could explain the guilt that had been building up inside me the feeling that I was only adding to the mess surrounding both of our lives .

Ella , let me explain something to you .

Alexanders voice remained calm and even , as if he had carefully weighed each word before speaking .

There was no trace of irritation or deception in his tone , only steady conviction .
