Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 0125 Chapter 0125 +25 BONUS I cant allow this madman to continue hurting my daughter , Alpha Roman said , pacing at the front of the room .

I stayed near the door , too agitated to sit down .

Maybe agitated wasnt the right word it was more an overwhelming need to act , even with nothing immediate to be done .

How could he have taken her wolf ? he muttered , fury barely contained .

What kind of man would do that ? Ella is capable even without her wolf , I said firmly .

But now that we know what caused her wolf to go dormant , there may be something we can do to reverse it .

He stopped pacing and looked at me with interest .

Are you certain about that ? I shook my head .

Not certain , no .

I dont know exactly how he did it , but I think its too soon to give up hope completely .

Its criminal , he said , his anger flaring again .

To deprive her of her wolf … if I could find any proof , Id ensure he faced the highest charges possible .

Thats the least he deserves , I agreed , allowing my own anger toward David to surface .

Alpha Roman turned to me, his gaze sharp as he studied my expression .

After a pause , he crossed the room , placing a steady hand on my shoulder .

I trust you with my daughter , he said , his voice low but firm .

Dont make me regret that .

Then he stepped past me , leaving the room .

I followed him back to the living room , where Ella and her mother were sitting close , intently focused on a phone screen .

Well have to address the rumors , Luna Rebecca was saying .

Im sure well think of something to say , Ella replied , looking resolute .

I suggest involving your lawyers , I said , moving to sit beside Ella .

A public statement might show David were serious and that hes not off the hook .

Ella looked at me , her expression thoughtful before she nodded .

Good idea .

Itll send the right message .

11 Alpha Roman turned on his heel , already moving .

Ill speak to the lawyer now , he said , striding through the room with purpose .

Without a word of goodbye , Luna Rebecca rose to follow him , both of them swept up in their urgency .

Their focus didnt offend me ; in fact , I shared it .

Ella turned to me , offering a slightly tense smile .

I hope that wasnt too awkward , she said , He only wanted to be sure I hadnt taken advantage of your condition , I replied .

Ellas cheeks flushed , just as Id expected .

Even after everything , she was still endearingly shy whenever intimacy came up .

Some things hadnt changed .

Hes just overprotective , she said , almost apologetically It was a fair question , I replied , studying her .

Her brow furrowed slightly .

What do you mean ? I paused before asking , Did I take advantage of your condition ? I saw the flicker of confusion in her eyes , and I couldnt deny the strange mix of emotions that twisted inside me .

1/2 Chapter 0125 +25 BONUS say Id Asking her that question felt like walking a tightrope .

Part of me hoped she would reassure me , that shed done nothing wrong that Id only helped her .

But there was another part of me , darker and deeply unsettled , that needed to know if Id crossed a line .

Ella looked at me intently , a strength in her eyes that I had only caught glimpses of before .

My heart rate increased as I waited to hear her response .

Something about the intensity of her stare made me feel exposed .

It was intense , yet I found myself enjoying the sensation .

Honestly ? she said , her voice steady despite the vulnerability hanging in the air .

I dont think you did .

You were there when I needed you , and I- She hesitated , her gaze flickering away for a moment .

I wanted to be with you .

It felt right .
