Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 0159 +25 BONUS Chapter 0159 Ella POV The silence that followed was so pronounced it felt heavy .

Alexander didnt respond , and the seconds dragged on long enough that I glanced at my phone to make sure the call hadnt dropped .

Alexander ? I said softly .

Did I say something wrong ? No , not at all , he answered quickly , though there was a slight edge to his voice .

Youre right , of course .

You should have met my family by now .

Its an oversight on my part that you havent .

I dont want to pry , I said uncertainly .

No , of course not , Alexander said , his tone steadying , Youre not prying at all .

Ill speak to my mother and make arrangements .

I nodded , even though he couldnt see me .

All right , I said softly .

But something about Alexanders tone left me uneasy .

I couldnt shake the feeling that something wasnt quite right .

Alexander had never struck me as embarrassed by his family .

Hed spoken of them before briefly but I hadnt gotten the sense he was hiding anything .

So why had the thought of me meeting them drawn such a reaction from him ? Surely , it was obvious that if he and I were going to get married even if it was fake I would eventually have to meet his mother .

Then again , Id been nervous about Alexander meeting my parents too .

Maybe I was just overthinking it .

Things would probably be fine .

Probably .

Are you sure nothings wrong ? I asked , my voice soft but insistent .

Ill be honest , your reaction is concerning .

Im simply distracted , Alexander said with a slight laugh , though it didnt quite reach his usual confidence .

Theres a lot of work to be done .

Yes , I said hesitantly .

I guess thats normal for you .

11 Maybe I havent been sleeping enough , he said dismissively .

At any rate , everything is fine .

Theres no need for you to be concerned .

Im glad to hear it , I replied , though his tone didnt fully ease my worries .

I owe you for reminding me , actually .

My mothers going to be furious if I leave her out of the wedding planning .

I cant believe I overlooked something like this .

We certainly dont want her to be upset , I said with a faint smile .

The fact that Alexander had forgotten about his mother when it came to the wedding planning told me they mustnt be particularly close .

I supposed that wasnt unusual for a grown man , especially one who had been more or less on his own in the capital for the last few years .

As much as Alexander worked , I doubted he had much time to go home for a visit .

Still , I couldnt help feeling sad for him .

Hed lost his father and wasnt close to his mother .

Other than August , I hadnt met anyone who could be considered Alexanders friend .

His life seemed consumed by work , leaving little room for anything else .

At least we managed to have some fun together , I thought .

Maybe when this was all said and done , hed have learned to balance things a little more .

If I could help him with that , then all of this trouble wed gone through together might at least have a happy outcome .

Chapter 0159 +25 BONUS Youll have to come to our packlands , Alexander said suddenly .

Itll be the easiest way for you to meet the whole family and for me to properly introduce you to the pack .

Oh , I replied , startled .

It hadnt even occurred to me that visiting Alexanders packlands would be part of this arrangement .

Id never been that far north before .

Alexander spent so assumed that was where wed stay .

uch time in the capital that Id just Is that going to be a problem ? he asked , his tone curious but cautious .

Not at all , I said quickly .

I look Ito it .
