Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 0162 Ella POV Alexanders family home was nothing like what I had imagined .

His apartment was so sleek and high end that I had expected his family residence to be a sprawling modern mansion equipped with the latest technology .

Instead , it was an old manor house updated , yes but still radiating a timeless , antiquated charm .

The preserved details hinted at a deliberate effort to maintain the familys ancestral legacy .

The solid oak floors , antique furniture , and subtle touches of history spoke volumes .

As we stepped inside , I couldnt help but let my eyes wander , taking in the craftsmanship of the space .

A short , middle aged woman opened the door for us and immediately stepped aside , bowing reverently .

Welcome home , Alpha Black , she said politely .

Theres no need to be so formal , Hazel , Alexander replied kindly , a hint of fondness in his tone .

He turned to me with a smile .

Ella , this is Hazel .

Shes the head maid , though really , she runs the household and has for quite some time .

Its nice to meet you , Hazel , I said , returning her polite smile .

Im Ella- Ella Rowanwood , she interrupted , her tone warming with excitement .

The pleasure is mine ! I was beginning to wonder when we might have the honor of your presence .

Alexander sighed lightly .

I know , I took my time .

I wanted to be certain of things .

And yet , Hazel said , a playful reprimand lacing her words , it is customary to introduce your girlfrier mother before proposing .

Alexander smiled at her fondly , unbothered by the scolding Thank you for the reminder , he said with amusement .

Is Mother in ? your She is , Hazel replied , her tone shifting back to professionalism .

But Michael hasnt returned yet .

I expect hell be back after dinner if thats not too- Alexander waved off her concern before she could finish .

Its fine .

I know hes busy .

Please let Mother know were here .

Of course , sir , Hazel said with a nod .

Please , make yourselves at home in the meantime .

As Hazel departed , I looked at Alexander curiously .

Michael ? My younger brother , he said , leading me further into the house .

Oh , of course , I said , shaking my head at my own oversight .

Id only ever seen Alexanders brother referred to as Mikey Black in old news reports .

Of course he wouldnt use the childish nickname now .

I realized it had been years since Id heard his name in the media .

It was clear that Michael , like their mother , preferred the quiet privacy of their packlands .

He keeps himself busy , so Im not surprised at all that he wont be joining us for dinner , Alexander said casually .

But dont worry youll still get the chance to meet him .

Hell probably be excited to have a new sister .

I wouldnt be surprised if hes asking you for advice before the night is over .

Advice ? I asked , frowning slightly .

+25 BONUS Chapter 0162 About girls , Alexander said with a slight grin .

Michaels never been the most charming , and Im sure hell want your insight .

Why wouldnt he ask you for advice about those kinds of things ? Youre good with the ladies .

No , Im not , Alexander muttered under his breath , his tone unexpectedly self deprecating .

Before I could ask what he meant , a breathy female voice called out to us .

Welcome .

I turned to see a tall , slim blonde woman approaching .

She wore a beautifully tailored dress , and her expertly done makeup highlighted her elegant features .

At first glance , I wouldnt have guessed she was Alexanders mother she seemed far too youthful .

Ella , this is my mother , Diana , Alexander said , introducing her with a polite but restrained tone .

Mother , this is my fiancée .

Diana walked toward me with her arms outstretched , clearly seeking a hug .

I awkwardly obliged as she pulled me into a tight embrace ..

Its so good to finally meet you , she said kindly , stepping back and giving me a thorough once over .

Youre very beautiful .

Thank you , I replied , feeling a little embarrassed by the sudden compliment .

Im sorry it took so long for us to meet .

J Think nothing of it , Diana said dismissively , her smile warm but practiced .

I never expected Alexan settle down at all .

She paused , her tone shifting just slightly , Hearing about your engagement was a very happy surprise , I assure you .
