Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

hapter 0291 Chapter 0291 Ella POV Alexander gave me the rest of the day to rest , sleep , cat , and build up my strength .

By the following morning , I was anxious and ready to jump back into reality .

We were in the middle of a serious situation , and I had taken an entire day just to nap .

1 felt ridiculous .

Although Alexander insisted it wasnt a big deal , he did age to let me join him the next day .

He was heading to meet with Dr.

Melntyre , and I had pointed out that she wanted to talk to me .

When Alexander seemed hesitant about letting me go , that seemed to be reason enough for him to agree .

He didnt argue just told me I could come along , as long as I allowed him to take the lead .

I didnt have a problem with that .

Truthfully , I had no idea what I was doing , and I needed Alexanders support more thatI cared to admit .

It seemed like a beneficial arrangement to me : he would lead the way , but I wouldnt be left in the dark or completely dependent on him to keep me informed .

We got in the car together and drove to a building near the outskirts of the capital .

It was somewhere I had never been before , and from the outside , it looked like an old warehouse .

This is where Dr.

McIntyre is being held ? I asked as we stepped out of the car and walked toward the entrance .

Thats right , Alexander replied , his voice soft as if he didnt want anyone overhearing us .

I couldnt imagine who he thought might be listening there didnt seem to be anyone around .

The further we had driven into this area of the city , the more I noticed the complete lack of people .

It wasnt a place I was familiar with , and it didnt seem like the kind of area someone should feel comfortable in .

I felt a little uncomfortable , if I was being honest .

Why did Alexander seem so at ease in this unsettling location ? And why on earth werent we headed to the local prison or even the kings home ? Why isnt she in jail ? I asked , unable to keep the question to myself .

Alexander glanced at me , his expression unreadable .

Im handling it , he said .

Thats all you need to know about that .

I stared at him in disbelief .

It was such a blatant non answer that I wasnt even sure how to react .

My shock didnt last long , though .

After a moment , I scoffed out loud .

Are you joking ? Alexander paused , his steps slowing as he turned to look at me .

This isnt the time or the place for these questions , he said sternly .

You should have asked me before- There was no before , I shot back , frustration creeping into my voice .

Its not like you gave me a heads up about this .

I thought we were going to visit her in jail .

Why isnt she in jail ? Does the king even know shes been found ? I asked in a rush , the questions tumbling out .

Alexander stared at me steadily , weighing his words carefully .

I could tell he was trying to decide how to respond , but I wasnt about to let this go .

.ed , I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair , trying to keep my temper in check .

Arent we past this ? locking my eyes onto his .

All these strange secrets between us ? I know this isnt normal , and none of this has been normal .

I just dont understand how or why youre doing things this way .

+25 BONUS Chapter 0291 Im handling it , he repeated .

You dont need to worry about the how or why .

But I do worry , I responded , taking a step closer to him .

Because Im Involved too .

This is all happening because of me , and if youre doing something dangerous or something that could have repercussions down the line … I trailed off , choosing my words carefully .

I feel like I deserve to know how and why .

I want you to stay out of it , Alexander said softly .

As much as possible .
