Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 0149 Yes , I replied instantly , a thrill of anticipation sparking through me .

She looked around the room , her voice dropping to a whisper .

I mean it , Ella absolute secrecy .

If this gets out , Ill know it was you .

No one else can know .

Alright , you have my word , I assured her , my heart pounding a little faster , sensing something big .

Elizabeth took a deep breath , then leaned in , her voice barely audible .

Ive been dating Damien Rose , she whispered , her tone carrying both a hint of exhilaration and fear .

My mouth fell open , a shock jolting through me .

Id heard rumors that Damian had been sending Elizabeth flowers and gifts , but I hadnt realized they were actually dating Thats so exciting ! I said , genuinely happy for her .

But why keep it secret ? She let out a small sigh , glancing away .

Because Im the daughter of the king , she said quietly , a hint of sadness In her voice .

If people knew … thered be so much scrutiny .

And if things dont work out , it would be a huge scandal .

I like him , and I love spending time with him , but just want to take things slow .

If weve got people following us , shouting questions , scrutinizing every little thing … She trailed off , and I nodded , understanding completely .

I got enough scrutiny over my relationships , and I was only an Alphas daughter .

For Elizabeth , it would be a hundred times worse .

So , tell me , I asked , trying to lighten the mood .

Whats he like ? Elizabeths face softened , a smile spreading across her lips .

Hes incredible .

Kind , patient … and he plays the guitar .

I nudged her playfully .

Sounds perfect for you .

Im really happy for you .

Ill even forgive you for blowing me off to hang out with your boyfriend .

Oh , youre one to talk , she shot back with a smirk .

Youve been spending all your time with your fiancé .

I shrugged , unable to suppress a smile .

What can I say ? I like being around him .

Elizabeths gaze softened .

You dont have to justify it to me .

When you find someone who makes you feel at home its hard to leave their side .

I hated how right she was .

Thinking of Alexander , I realized how comfortable I always felt around him , Or at least , I did when I wasnt fighting against my attraction to him .

Just the thought of him made me drift into a daze .

Getting lost in thoughts of him already ? Elizabeth teased , snapping me back to the present .

Actually , I said , seizing the opportunity to change the subject , Ive been thinking about getting Alexander a gift .

Hes always buying things for me , and Id like to surprise him with something thoughtful .

I just have no idea what hed like .

Maybe you could help me think of something ? A gift for Alexander Black ? Elizabeth raised her eyebrows thoughtfully .

Thats a challenge .

What do you get for a man that has everything ? Nothing comes to mind immediately , but Ill think on it .

If I come up with anything brilliant , youll be the first to know .

Girls ! Lunch ! My mothers voice called up from the hallway .

Well , thats all the gossip we get for now , I guess , I said , standing and moving toward the door .

Chapter 0149 Therell be plenty of time for more after we eat , Elizabeth replied with a grin .

Besides , the food here is amazing .

No point letting it go cold .

Cant argue with that .

I opened the door for her .

Lets get down there before they hey eat it t it all .

+25 BONUS My thoughts lingered on Alexander as the two of us headed downstairs .

I found myself wondering how different things between us would be if there wasnt so much public scrutiny on our relationship .

I had to remind myself that we wasnt real .

wouldnt have a relationship if it wasnt for the public attention .
