Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 0179 Chapter 0179 Ella POV My father was staring at me expectantly .

I felt silly for how nervous I was , I knew that I had done nothing wrong .

Facing his anger wasnt something I was used to .

I took a deep breath to calm myself .

Alexander and I spent the afternoon figuring out a use for the land we gained from David , I said .

Thats why we had the maps out .

What do you mean by that ? he asked .

Its farmland ; well farm it .

David damaged the farmland , I explained .

He salted the earth so we wouldnt be able to plant there .

The look of rage on his face only grew .

That rotten cheat , he said in outrage .

So the land is useless to us ? Why didnt you call me immediately ? Its not entirely useless , I said .

We decided the best option is to create a solar farm .

If we fill the space with solar panels , we can connect to the electrical grid , and with any luck , the pack could become energy- independent .

I gestured vaguely , trying to gauge his reaction .

Alexander consulted his team , and they think it will work .

The notes in the notebook were from their findings , and the map was a proposed layout for the panels .

The anger drained from his face almost immediately .

He sighed , running a hand over his jaw .

Im sorry .

I thought you were hiding something from me again .

I was frustrated .

Im not hiding anything , I said , my voice softening .

I actually wanted to talk to you about it earlier , but you werent home from your meetings yet and I didnt want to interrupt .

I promised , after what happened last time , that Id come to you when I needed help .

I havent broken that promise .

His expression shifted to one of remorse .

Im sorry I jumped to conclusions , he said , his voice quieter now .

I just worry about you .

s I know you do , I replied with a smile .

And Im glad .

Im lucky to have parents who care so much about my well -being .

He chuckled lightly and pulled me into a hug .

Of course I worry youre my little girl , he said , pressing a kiss to my temple.

Tears stung my eyes , and I hugged him tightly in return .

His frustration was completely understandable after everything wed been through in the past few months , but the fact that he was willing to listen and to apologize -reminded me of how fortunate I was to have him by my side .

Not everyone had that kind of support.

Thinking of the way Diana treated Alexander , I realized how rare it truly was to have parents like mine .

I would never take them for granted again .

What had you in such a bad mood ? I asked as I pulled away from the hug .

You havent seen the news then ? he said , sounding worried .

I shook my head and my father sighed .

David and Amanda have announced their wedding date .

Its the same as yours and Alexanders .

My eyes went wide as I stared at him .

Of course that would upset my father .

It was too late to change our date .

If we did , he would have to issue a public apology for the inconvenience to the other alphas .

Wed already mailed out save the date cards .

I shook off my surprise the best I could .

I see , I said softly .

Thats unfortunate , but well handle it .

I thought you would be hurt , he said in surprise .

No , just annoyed .

That response made him laugh .

He shook his head , then looked back towards the desk where the map lay .

A smile spread across his face .

Im glad that Alexander was able to help you come up with the solution , my father said , his tone softening .

And I think it seems like a promising one .

11 I considered telling him that it was my idea , but I didnt .

This was one more reason for him to like Alexander , and that was important , Of course , I replied , well want our engineers to consult with his and make sure everything is accurate .

All weve worked out so far are our best guesses based on the information we had on hand .

If its all right with you , Ill pass the map and notes on to them tomorrow , he said .

I have a meeting first thing in the morning .

I think thats a great idea , I said with a nod .

The sooner we can start putting the project together , the better .

I want to make sure David knows he hasnt gotten the best of us with this little stunt .
