Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 0141 Ella POV I sat across from Alexander in the car , watching him as he focused intently on his phone .

He was likely catching up on emails or checking in on one of his businesses he rarely wasted a moment , even while traveling Dressed in a perfectly tailored three piece suit with gleaming gold cufflinks , Alexander looked every bit the part of a powerful , influential figure .

He didnt notice me watching , so I allowed myself a quiet moment to take in his appearance .

He was effortlessly charming and undeniably attractive .

Whenever we were out in public , people would steal glances , unable to resist his magnetism .

Alexander had long .

been the most eligible bachelor in the kingdom , and it was no mystery why he practically had a fan club .

Just as it was no mystery why David despised Alexander .

Alexander embodied everything David wished he could be -handsome , charming , well liked , and undeniably wealthy .

David hadnt anticipated our attendance , yet his public invitation to all alphas and lunas was a glaring oversight .

Alexander was indeed an alpha , and I , his future luna .

Which meant that the invitation was extended to us .

He wouldnt be able to deny us entry .

I glanced out the window , recognizing the familiar landscape of Lunar Lake territory.

We would arrive at Davids event in just a few minutes .

I took a steadying breath , attempting to calm the rising tension within me .

Are you all right ? Alexander asked , his gaze now shifting toward me .

I forced a smile , giving a small nod .

Yes , of course .

He chuckled softly.

That wasnt very convincing .

Try not to worry Ill be with you the whole time .

Nothing can go wrong H I know , I replied , trying to steady my voice .

Im just trying to get into the right headspace to deal with this .

I still cant believe hes pretending as if nothing happened .

Hes going to pay for what he did to you , Alexander said , his tone turning sharp and resolute .

Its only a matter of time .

I gave him a grateful nod .

Thank you .

Silence settled between us as we looked out at the passing town .

The car began its approach to the central park of the Lunar Lake capital .

Davids family estate wasnt far from here , and with limited venues in the area large enough to host an event of this scale , an outdoor setting was the most likely choice .

The gardens came into view , scattered with finely dressed guests mingling under the late afternoon sun .

I caught sight of Amanda welcoming guests , her demeanor poised and friendly .

A surge of anger flashed through me but faded as quickly as it came .

I reminded myself why I was here ; anger wouldnt serve me now .

This was about control , about showing David that his actions had not and would not break me .

Our car pulled up to the entrance , and Alexander stepped out first , coming around to open my door with an extended hand .

I took it , stepping out gracefully , and immediately caught the murmurs of surprise from the crowd around us .

I flashed a brilliant smile in Amandas direction , relishing her wide eyed , open mouthed reaction .

David appeared beside her , no doubt drawn over by the stir of our arrival .

His eyes locked onto me , widening with a hint of panic .

Without hesitation , I linked my arm through Alexanders , and together we strode directly toward them , exuding confidence .

+25 BONUS Chapter 0741 David took a step forward , hissing under his breath , What are you doing here ? You invited all the alphas and lunas , Alexander replied coolly .

It would be rude not to accept such an invitation .

Davids expression hardened .

If youre here to make a scene because of the hotel- This has nothing to do with that , I interrupted smoothly , Then why are you here ? he demanded , his gaze flicking to Amanda , who still hadnt recovered her composure .

I smiled , directing my attention to Amanda .

To congratulate my best friend on her engagement , of course .

As I looked her up and down , I noted her emerald green dress a familiar , silky gown with a jeweled belt that Id seen her sister wear before .

Standing beside David in his standard suit , she looked perfectly acceptable , yet Alexander and I radiated a different level of sophistication .

straightened , offering my hand to Amanda with a pleasant smile .

Congratulations , I said .

You look lovely , Amandas jaw tightened , but she forced a polite smile as she took my hand , squeezing it with as much strength as she could muster .

Thank you .
