Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

+25 BONUS Chapter 0024 If you really loved her , you wouldnt use the term wolfless .

I turned toward the voice and found Alexander approaching with a fiery look in his eyes .

should as you Its an inherently offensive term , and its not accurate .

Her wolf is merely dormant due to illness , all well know since she is the daughter of a prominent Alpha and her first shift was well celebrated .

Having a dormant wolf due to illness is temporary , even if it lasts for years , and it is something that Ella will no doubt recover from .

It is in no way a defect .

I felt my heartbeat flutter as I listened to Alexanders defense of me .

He was right , but more importantly , he was making David seem like a jerk .

Hes right , I said , turning back toward the cameras .

My wolf is with me still ; shes only dormant , and Im following the advice of my doctor to recover from this illness and bring my wolf back to full strength .

Its only a matter of time before it happens .

I am not wolfless , and I am perfectly capable of fulfilling my duties to my pack .

The crowd around us applauded , which caught me off guard and made me blush with embarrassment .

Alexander was still standing close behind me , which helped me feel a little more confident as I turned toward David .

Youve known about this for years , I pointed out .

So if you had a problem with it , I really hope you wouldnt have proposed to me anyway .

This got a loud reaction from the crowd as I heard people murmuring to themselves about Davids pompous behavior .

Amanda had approached in the crowd , and I could see her frowning deeply ; her unhappy expression mirrored Davids .

Third Person POV David left early from the banquet .

He was so humiliated by Alexanders speech and the crowds reaction to him that he couldnt bear to stay .

He and Amanda had met outside and headed back to his home .

During the drive , he watched his phone as people reacted to the news , not only of Ellas illness but also of Alexanders eloquent defense of her and his own unkind words .

He glared at the screen .

He had practiced that speech and chosen the words carefully .

He never expected using the word wolfless to cause a backlash against him .

When had people gotten so sensitive about word choices ? There was no real difference between being wolfless.and having a dormant wolf either way , it meant that Ella couldnt shift and she was weak because of it The whole point of tonight was to take Ella down a peg and damage her newfound self confidence , but thanks to Alexander stealing the spotlight and making David look like a fool , that hadnt happened .

Davids hatred of Alexander was growing by the day .

It would make it all the more satisfying to defeat him in the race for Alpha King .

Amanda remained quiet during the drive , uncertain of what to say .

David had a tendency to lash out when he was angry , and she didnt want that anger to be aimed at her .

Suddenly , Davids phone began to ring .

It was a call from Ea .

He answered it immediately .

Whats wrong ? he asked .

Nothing .

Ella replied .

You left so quickly that I was worked you might be upset .

I just wanted to check on you !!! +25 BONUS Chapter 0024 Im fine , he said .

Im just not very good at speaking to reporters like that , and I didnt want to say something wrong again and have it taken out of context .

ny more of your I see , Ella said with a bored tone to her voice .

Well , as long as youre all right , I wont take up any time .

The call ended , and David threw his phone on the ground .

When had Ella gotten so cold ? She didnt care that he had left at all ! She hadnt even come after him .

Its okay , Amanda said , reaching out to touch his arm lightly .

How is it okay ? he demanded , whirling around to glare at her .

The sudden movement startled Amanda , but she recovered quickly and smiled at David .

I already have a backup plan ready to go , she said .
