Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

2 Chapter 0244 Chapter 0244 Ella POV Ready ? I asked .

Always , Alexander replied with a confident smile .

+25 BONUS We stepped out of the car , and before wed even closed the door , the flash of cameras erupted like a lightning storm .

I hadnt expected such a large crowd of reporters at his event , though Id prepared for the possibility of a few .

Alexander placed his arm around my waist , steady and protective , and raised his hand in a casual , friendly gesture toward the press .

There was a barricade keeping them from rushing the sidewalk , but that didnt stop them from shouting questions at us .

I kept a polite smile on my face as we walked slowly toward the entrance .

The publics interest in our wedding was still at a fever pitch , and most of the questions I could make out were related to that .

Why didnt you invite the media ? one reporter called out , It was a private event , Alexander responded smoothly .

We didnt want anything to distract from our day .

Did you plan to hold the wedding on the same day as the Lake wedding ? another voice asked .

We chose our date before we knew theirs , I replied evenly .

It was an unfortunate coincidence .

How did you book the Castle ? Christopher is an old friend , Alexander said with a small effortless shrug .

As we reached the entrance , we gave the press one final wave , our smiles unwavering despite the barrage of questions .

The cameras continued to flash , and the reporters kept shouting after us , but the heavy glass doors closed behind us , muffling the noise and granting us a moment of peace .

We were greeted inside by a staff member who immediately recognized Alexander .

The young man offered a slightly nervous smile as he said , Welcome , Alpha Black .

Your box is ready .

Ill show you the way , and if youd like any refreshments , you can use the phone in the box to call us .

Well have everything brought to you .

That sounds nice , Alexander said graciously .

Thank you but I dont believe we need an escort to the box .

If youll just tell me the number .

Oh , the young man said , sounding surprised .

Have you been here before ? Not for quite a while , Alexander answered , his tone warm but composed .

But I dont think there have been any extensive renovations .

No , there havent , the man confirmed .

Youre in Box Three .

Perfect , thank you , Alexander said kindly .

With his arm still resting around my waist , Alexander guided me toward a door on the right , leading us out of the reception area .

I had no idea you spent so much time here , I said , genuinely curious .

Im surprised .

Well , its like you said , Alexander replied with a small smile .

Racing suits me .

Before I could ask more , he gestured ahead .

Theres our box .

1/2 Chapter 0344 +25 BONUS We entered the door , stepping into a room that reminded me of the private box wed enjoyed at a baseball game earlier in our relationship .

There were sleek cases filled with cold drinks , a phone mounted on the wall for service requests , and a seating area arranged around a table .

Beyond a glass partition , the racetrack sprawled out below us , the perfect view for the race .

At the center of the table sat a basket filled with an assortment of sweets , along with a chilled bottle of wine and two glasses .

Id arranged for these little details as part of the surprise , and Alexanders expression made the effort worth it .

He smiled warmly , walking over to the table .

Without hesitation , he picked up the corkscrew and began opening the wine .

This really is such a thoughtful gift , Ella , he said .

Im not sure I deserve it .

Is that a joke ? I asked , laughing lightly .

Youve done so much for me lately .

I had to do something to show my gratitude .

I havent done anything beyond what a dedicated lover should , Alexander pointed out, his tone firm yet gentle .

If youve come to expect so little from the men in your life , well , thats just one more reason for me to dislike David , isnt it ?
