Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

25 BONUS Chapter 0016 Im so glad you could make it , I told Amanda .

Of course , she said .

I want to be here to support my best friend .

The next hour passed in a bit of a blur .

It seemed like I was constantly answering wedding questions from one of mine or Davids parents or talking to people that came up to our table to congratulate us .

Our food came, and I ate what I could between small talk and answering questions .

It seemed like everyone was having a great time .

Everyone except for Amanda .

She kept making rude comments and she was drinking more wine than anyone else .

Seeing so many people complimenting me and David must have been driving her crazy .

It sounds like youve really thought through the wedding , Davids father commented .

I smiled slightly .

I can picture it perfectly , I said .

I had answered every question based on my memories of our wedding day , so it must have seemed to them like I had planned every detail .

David , are you okay with Ella making all of the decisions about your big day ? Amanda asked snidely .

I dont really care , David answered .

It saves me the trouble of worrying about it .

Amanda pouted at that answer .

My phone buzzed in my pocket .

I took it out discreetly and checked the message .

It was from Alexander .

When will the show begin ? When the audience is packed , I replied .

I wanted to wait until the restaurant was as busy as possible .

I put my phone away and looked up to find the waitress approaching us .

Will there be any desserts tonight ? she asked .

Yes , I answered immediately .

Please , bring some sweet wine and tiramisu for the table .

Right away , she said .

You want cake ? Amanda said in surprise .

After youve already eaten so much ? I ignored her insult and smiled .

Were celebrating , after all It was nearly 8 p.m.

when I saw the waitress approaching with the wine a short time later .

I stood up and asked her for the bottle .

She looked at me strangely but handed it to me .

I want to thank you all for coming out to celebrate with us I said as I poured David a glass of wine .

It means the world to both of us that we can share our happiness with you .

walked around the table slowly , pouring wine for everyone .

As I did , each person said a few words of Congratulations It was the perfect distraction .

Amanda was glaring at Davidas she listened to all of the land words .

He was looking away from her , avoiding her angry look Chapter 0016 +25 BONUS I slipped a small paper envelope from my pocket as I approached Amanda to pour her wine .

I poured the powdered drug into the bottle and swirled it to mix .

Amanda , I said as I stood beside her .

I want to thank you most of all .

Without your support and advice , I dont .

know if David and I would have made it through the little hiccups in our relationship .

Sure , Amanda said quietly .

Glad I could help .

I poured the last of the wine in her glass , and she didnt hesitate to pick it up and take a large gulp .

I returned to my seat and watched as Amanda swirled her cup and drank the wine rapidly .

She started to look pale , and I thought that she might be sweating .

The drug was supposed to work quickly , but I didnt expect to see signs so fast .

Suddenly Amanda stood up , and the wine glass dropped from her hand , shattering on the ground .

Everyone turned to stare as she slammed her hands on the table , and a growl tore out of her .

I heard people around us gasping and shouting as Amanda shifted .

It was shocking to see someone shift into their wolf form in public like this .

Employees rushed towards her , shouting at her to calm down and please leave the restaurant .

I stood up and took a few steps away from the table .

It was a good thing that I did , because David leapt towards Amanda as he began to shift as well .

He growled at the employees and put himself between them and Amanda .

In an angry voice , he shouted , No one touches my fated mate ! Chapter 0017
