Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 0280 Ellas annoyance was palpable .

Without so much as a glanc in my direction , she redialed .

I watched her carefully .

The phone rang again .

And again .

er frustration grew with every unanswered ring , her lips tightening into a thin line .

When the call finally rang out for the second time , she practically threw the phone back onto the counter .

Take a breath , I said softly , stepping closer to her .

This is to be expected .

Shes a coward attacking you in secret and then running away in the night .

Ella nodded slowly , Youre right , she said through gritted teeth .

Its cowardly .

But shes very mistaken if she thinks she can hide from me .

Determination lit her face like a flame .

Without hesitation , she picked up the phone again , set it on the counter , and redialed this time putting it on speaker .

Ill do this all night if thats what it takes , she said , her voice sharp and unwavering .

It was on the fifth attempt that the call was finally answered .

A hesitant female voice came over the line , and I saw the recognition flash across Ellas face the moment she heard it .

The coordinates you sent , Ella said , skipping any form of greeting .

Where will they lead me ? To me , the woman responded .

And where are you , Brianna ? Ella asked sharply , deliberately using the doctors first name to catch her off guard .

The tactic worked .

There was a long pause , and when Brianna finally spoke , her voice lacked the confidence it had held a moment before .

Im in the Roguelands .

You realize how much this sounds like a trap , dont you ? Ella pressed .

Yes , Brianna replied easily .

I know exactly what it sounds like .

And I know thats not going to stop you from coming .

Ellas jaw tightened .

What makes you so confident ? The fact that you called , the doctor said simply .

There was a moment of silence before Ellas stern expression softened .

A faint , almost wry smile tugged at her lips .

Youre either brave or a fool , she said .

But youre right Im not going to pass up this opportunity .

I know you have information that will help me .

Not just you , Brianna corrected .

I have information that will help the entire Southern Kingdom if you know what to do with it .

Ellas eyes narrowed .

And why have you suddenly decided to share this information with me ? Youve poisoned me , stolen my wolf , and made my life hell for years .

Why do all that just to turn around and offer help ? Because Im not a fool , Brianna said , her voice calm .

I know when Ive lost .

And I know when Ive been fooled .

Ellas gaze sharpened .

Who fooled you ? I think you already know the answer to that , the doctor replied , her tone bitter .

And Im not going to let him 1/2 425 BONUS Chapter 0280 get away with it .

So youre using me to help you get revenge ? Do you have a problem with that ? Not at all .

So youll come , then ? I believe all the information I need is in the text , Ella sald curtly before pressing the red button to end the call .

I stared at her silently for a few moments as she set the phone down .

Her eyes remained fixed on the counter , but then , as if suddenly remembering I was there , she glanced and offered me an awkward smile .

Its late .

We should get some sleep , she said .

We have alot to talk about tomorrow .

I nodded in agreement but didnt respond .

I was too preoccupied with what Id just witnessed .

The way Ella had ́ spoken with such confidence and authority it was like seeing a side of her Id never known existed .

الرقمية For the first time , I could picture her as a leader .

Maybe , just maybe , Ella did have what it took to become a Luna after all .
