Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 0240 Ella POV What do you think the announcement is going to be ? I asked after we were safely in the car , heading back toward the capital .

I suspect it had something to do with Elizabeth .

She and Damien Rose seemned quite close , and the way they danced together all night certainly had people talking , Alexander said .

Im sure its got something to do with that , I replied .

Elizabeth has been keeping things private between them .

Im sure she would have told me already if they planned to go public .

I hadnt considered that , he said .

What else could it be , though ? I hesitated .

I wonder if its possible hes decided to retire .

Alexanders eyes widened as he stared at me .

Do you think it could really be so soon ? I nodded .

We knew an election would be coming .

Thats the whole point of this deal weve made , but it does seem sudden , doesnt it ? I just cant think of another reason .

www If thats the case , weve got a lot of work to do to prepare , Alexander said , exhaling slowly .

His mind was already racing , and I could see it in the intensity of his gaze .

Well need to plan for every eventuality .

We can focus on that tomorrow , I said gently , reaching out to touch his arm .

Today , I think we just need to recover from the wedding .

Is there any other business ? he asked , his tone still thoughtful .

Anything you need to do before youre fully moved in besides unpacking ? Well , I do need to go back to my pack lands to grab a few more things from my fathers house .

I also need to sign some paperwork at the doctors office .

I asked Dr.

Bowman to transfer my records to the doctor you set me up with , but they need an in person signature for that .

That seems a bit strict , Alexander said , furrowing his brow .

After what happened with Dr.

McIntyre , theyre tightening security around the medical facilities .

Ah , he said softly , understanding .

Well , that makes sense .

Would you like to go take care of that now ? I can help gather your belongings , and we can eat with your parents before we head back to the capital .

That feels like a lot to ask , I said softly .

But the help would be much appreciated .

Of course , its not too much to ask , Alexander replied , his voice warm .

Youre my wife now , remember ? I couldnt help but return his smile .

Thank you .

Alexander tapped on the glass partition separating us from the driver and informed him of the change in plans .

Then , we settled into a comfortable silence , the gentle hum of the car soothing after such an eventful night .

I sipped from the bottled water provided , hoping it would help ease the lingering effects of the hangover by the time we reached my fathers house .

When we arrived at the hospital in my territory , the late afternoon sun was casting long shadows over the building .

Alexander walked in with me , his presence reassuring as always .

As soon as we stepped through the doors , the woman at the reception desk abruptly bolted upright and hurried to the back without a word .

Thats … not normal , I said , my voice low .

A few moments later , Dr.

Bowman emerged , his expression tense and concerned as he approached us .

Congratulations on the wedding , he began , though his tone was heavy .

And Im so sorry for everything thats happened .

Youre not to blame for any of it , I replied firmly .

Theres no need to apologize .

I just dont know how it could have come to this , Dr.

Bowman said , shaking his head .

I cant apologize enough .

If only Id noticed some sign with Dr.

McIntyre , this all could have been avoided .

She deceived everyone , Alexander said , his tone steady and reassuring .

The blame doesnt lie with you .

But we do appreciate your concern , Doctor .

Dr.

Bowman exhaled deeply , a flicker of relief crossing his face .

Thank you , Alpha Black .
