Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 0223 Chapter 0223 Who did it ? my mother pressed , her composure razor sharp .

My father hesitated , his eyes flicking to me for a brief moment before returning to my mother .

Were confirming the identity , but we believe it was Dr.

Brianna McIntyre .

For a moment , my mind refused to process the name .

Then it hit me .

Dr.

McIntyre the substitute occupational therapist Id been working with for the past few weeks .

The same woman Id overheard on the phone the other day complaining bitterly about the spoiled children of Alphas .

Why would she do such a thing ? I asked , confusion twisting in my chest .

I dont know , my father said grimly .

But when we catch her , Ill make sure we find out .

She got away ? my mother asked , her voice betraying a rare flicker of surprise .

Yes , my father said , frustration lacing his words .

She was too quick for the guards .

A sudden thought struck me , and I blurted it out before I could overthink it .

The note in my bedroom the one from David .

Could she have been the one who snuck into the house ? My fathers sharp gaze snapped to me , his attention fully captured .

Its possible , he said , his voice thoughtful .

She certainly knows the grounds well and the guards likely wouldnt have questioned her presence .

My mind was spinning , pieces of the puzzle falling into place faster than I could process .

I took a steadying breath before speaking again .

What about my pills ? I asked .

The ones that were tampered with the ones meant to cure my wolf .

Shes a doctor ; she would have had access to them .

Could she have been Davids spy all along ? The weight of my words settled over the room like a fog .

My parents exchanged a tense , knowing look , and the silence between us suddenly felt heavier than ever .

Why would she do it ? I asked again , my voice barely a whisper , desperation clawing at me for answers .

My fathers expression hardened , his jaw tightening as if bracing for a storm .

Thats what were going to find out .

My father placed his hands gently on my shoulders , his gaze steady as he looked me in the eye .

Ella , he said softly , these are all very good questions , and I promise you we will find the answers .

But not tonight .

I need you to go up to your room and try to rest .

Ive increased the security for tonight nothing more will happen .

I promise .

I wanted to argue , to insist that I could do something , but I knew it would do no good .

If Dr.

McIntyre was trul behind all of this , she wouldnt stop running until shed left our packlands .

Shed know she had been compromised and could never return .

There wouldnt be an opportunity to question her -not anytime soon .

I know this is a lot , my mother said , her voice calm but firm .

I turned to look at her , and there it was again- that serious , stern expression she always wore in dangerous or upsetting situations .

Youre right , I said with a sigh .

Theres nothing to be done about it tonight .

Ill head up to my room .

Youre safe , my father assured me , his tone filled with conviction .

You can trust in that .

When I returned to my room , a fresh wave of emotions crashed over me .

The fact that someone had tried to tamper with the wine was a clear indication they were working with David .

Who else would have such motivation to sabotage the wedding ? But the implications were even more unsettling .

Whoever was behind this had not only accessed the house but seemed to have an intimate understanding of my routines .

They knew about my comings and goings .

Was it possible Dr.

McIntyre wasnt acting alone ? The thought sent a renewed shiver of fear through me .

There had to be more to this a deeper plan , a larger threat My mind raced , piecing together every detail I could remember , but it only made the fear more powerful .

I stared out the window , the moonlight casting long shadows across my room , and I knew one thing for certain : I wouldnt be getting back to sleep tonight .
