Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 0274 1 expected a system notification or a breaking news alert .

Instead , it was a text message .

The blood drained from my face as I recognized the number .

It was the same one that had sent me the strange warning weeks ago .

I looked at the body of the message , but it didnt make sense .

There were no words , just two rows of numbers separated by dots and dashes ..

What is it ? Alexanders voice was low , but there was an edge of concern .

I glanced up at him , my unease evidently written across my face .

There was no point in pretending I wasnt startled .

Without a word , I handed him my phone .

Its the same number , Alexander said under his breath , his tone laced with quiet intensity .

I nodded , confirming it for him .

Is this the first time theyve contacted you since then ? he asked , his serious gaze locking onto mine .

It is , I confirmed .

I didnt block the number , just in case we could track it somehow .

I had it looked into , remember ? Alexander said , his expression hardening .

We believe the number belongs to Dr.

McIntyre .

Why would she keep reaching out to me ? I asked , confusion and frustration bubbling to the surface .

After everything shes done … Thats a good question , Alexander replied , his jaw tightening as he glanced down at the message .

But it appears she wants to speak to you face to face .

What do you mean ? A jolt of fear coursed through me at the thought of confronting the woman who had poisoned me for so long .

The body of the message , he said , turning the phone around so I could see .

These numbers are coordinates and the second line appears to be a date .

Ill have to double check to be certain , but I believe its a location near the northern border .

Why on Earth would she send me that ? I shook my head.

Shes in hiding , isnt she ? Hasnt she just given away her location ? Wouldnt it be easy for us to send someone to capture her ? Yes , Alexander agreed , his expression dark and thoughtful .

Which means there must be a very good reason shes taking the risk .

But it makes no sense , I said in frustration , my voice trembling slightly .

What could she possibly have to gain that outweighs the risks ? What could she have to say to me ? Theres no way to know that at this point , Alexander pointed out , handing my phone back .

He pulled out his own and began tapping quickly at the screen .

I knew he must be texting August or someone else in his network .

His jaw was tense , and the brightness in his eyes had hardened into something cold and sharp .

My own heart was pounding too loudly for me to focus entirely on Alexanders reaction .

If it was Dr.

McIntyre reaching out , why ? It seemed too obvious to be a trap or was she counting on me thinking that ? Was David behind this again ? Could this all be part of his plan to lower my defenses , to lure me to the border where anything could happen , far from my fathers influence or even Alexanders protection ? +25 BONUS Chapter 0274 The first time Amanda and David had made a move against s when Amanda , my mother , and I were kidnapped after trying on wedding dresses they had taken us north .

Was this some clumsy attempt to finish what theyd started then ? The memory of a sharp blade against my skin surfaced , anda wave of panic gripped me .

My breathing grew shallow and uneven , and my chest tightened as the fear clawed its way through me .

Alexanders hand landed firmly on my knee , grounding me .

My head snapped up , and I met his eyes .

Its okay , he said , his voice soft but steady .

Im here .

I nodded , his reassurance breaking through the haze of fear Despite everything , his presence calmed me .

I knew I could trust him I didnt have to face this alone .
