Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 0017 Ella POV The drug Alexander gave me to use on Amanda was meant to trigger a female wolf into heat , causing her to shift .

Her fated mate would respond to the heat and shift as well .

He would be unable to control his protective urges for his mate .

I stood by my shocked parents and watched as the two hostile wolves jumped onto the table , growling at the staff .

David even snapped his jaws like he was going to attack .

It was shocking to see .

Everyone in the restaurant was watching .

I could even see a few people with their phones out recording .

Amanda jumped from the table , landing on the next table over .

David followed after her , knocking our entire table over in the process .

Wine and food went everywhere .

This is out of control , Davids father said as he rushed forward .

Weve called for a doctor , sir , one of the waitresses said .

We just need to keep them calm until they get here .

Ill handle it , Davids father said .

He walked confidently towards them , using his connection to David as his father and his alpha to get through to the agitated wolf .

David seemed to recognize him , and his growling ceased .

Amanda was cowering behind David with her ears back , but she stayed still as well .

Stop this nonsense immediately , he said angrily .

Do you have any idea how many people are watching you right now ? I looked out at the crowd around us .

There were Alphas and Lunas watching this unfold .

They all had looks of disgust or shock on their faces .

There were a lot of other people I didnt recognize as well .

Good .

The more people that saw it , the better .

They wouldnt be able to lie their way out of this .

Across the room , I locked eyes with Alexander .

His bright eyes were intense as he looked at me .

It was hard to read the expression on his face , and it made my heart flutter strangely .

I looked away from him , forcing myself to focus on David and Amanda .

At that moment , a tall , professional looking woman rushed in .

She went directly to Davids father .

Alpha Derrick , she said breathlessly .

The staff told me about the situation ; with your permission , I would like to sedate your son Just enough to make him shift back .

Just do it already , he said angrily .

The woman nodded , then cautiously stepped towards David A warning growl from his father made him drop his gard .

The woman quickly administered an injection to David , then another to Amanda .

Within seconds , they were shifting back into their normal forms , and the restaurant staff were draping robes around their mide forms .

4 his hands firmly on my shoulders as we watched the chaos finally start to calm .

The shouting of the led down , but everyone was still staring at avid and Amanda .

o your Davids father demande .

ad nettly , dons understand what happened .

I couldnt control It it Chapter 0017 +25 BONUS He looked disturbed by what had just happened to him .

He held the robe closed around himself , and his shoulders slumped as he tried to avoid making eye contact with anyone .

I stepped forward , away from my parents and towards David Is what you said true ? I asked , and my voice choked with emotion .

Is Amanda your fated mate ? I heard whispers around us as people reacted to my words .

David had said it when he first transformed , and I knew I wasnt the only one who heard it .

Why did you deceive me ? I asked .

I wrapped my arms tightly around my middle and stared at him expectantly .

The murmuring of the crowd grew louder .

I could hear people asking how I couldnt have known and why David would propose to someone who wasnt his mate .

David clenched his fists at his sides and did not look me in the eye .

Ella was so invested in this relationship , my father said as he came to stand beside me .

You deliberately concealed the fact that you and Amanda were fated mates and proposed to Ella anyway .

Why ? What were your intentions ? David shrugged awkwardly and still did not lift his head .

His father stood to one side of him , staring back at my father with a blank expression .

Amanda , who had been cowering behind David , suddenly stepped forward .

Yes , we are actually fated mates , she said .

Its true .

She wrapped her arms tightly around Davids waist .

Amanda looked me directly in the eyes , and I could see pride there .

I realized that although she had helped David keep the secret to manipulate me , she had not wanted to .

She must have always wanted me to know that my childhood sweetheart was really hers .

She had already taken him away from me , but that wasnt enough for her .

She wanted to gloat about it too .

David didnt move to hug her back , which surprised me .

He just stood there , staring down at his bare feet on the testaurant floor .

Amanda continued to speak .

I always felt I wasnt good enough , that I was far inferior compared to Ella , but the mate bond was irresistible for us … I resisted the urge to smile .

This was everything I had hoped it would be .

I was finally exposing the two of them for the liars and manipulators they really were .

Everyone was witnessing this , and after tonight , my engagement with David would no longer be a problem .

Davids head snapped up , and he turned to look at Amanda with obvious irritation on his face .

David suddenly yanked away from Amandas arms .

She staggered a little and looked startled .

She stared at him with obvious hurt in her eyes .

What are you doing ? she asked in a whisper .

It may have been irresistible for you , he said loudly .

But not for me ! What are you saying ? Amanda asked in shock .

David ignored her , turning his attention to me I know I shouldnt have kept the truth from you , he said walking towards me .

I couldnt believe this was happening .

I took a step away from him , and my father held my arm reassuringly , David stopped approaching ; he must have seen something on my fathers face that warned him not to get closer.

+25 BONUS Chapter 0017 But that didnt stop him from talking .

A fated mate is nothing to me , he said earnestly .

You are the one that has always been by my side .

Since we were kids , you are the only one that I have ever imagined myself being with .

The only one that I ever wanted to .

marry .

I stared at him in disbelief .

Did he really want my power so desperately that he was willing to embarrass Amanda in public like this ? I could see silent tears spilling from her eyes as she listened to his words .

If I couldnt still remember her evil smile in my mind , I would almost feel sorry for her .

Youre speaking nonsense , I said .

Amanda is your fated mate .

David shook his head .

I only love you , Ella .
