Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

hapter 0292 Chapter 0292 +25 BONUS I appreciate that you want to protect me , I said , the tension in my voice evident , but were past that .

Alexander stared at me , then reached out and took my hand The contact sent a jolt of electricity through me , and I allowed him to lead me forward .

He approached the door of the warehouse , tapping a code into the security panel before opening it and stepping aside to let me inside .

The building was dark , musty , and cold .

I could hear our footsteps echoing as Alexander led me through the abandoned workshop and down a side hallway .

So , youre just going to ignore my questions ? I asked , irritation lacing my voice , but also a deep concern .

It was so unlike Alexander to act this way .

He was supposed to be confident , sure of himself .

And yet , he seemed to be second guessing everything , especially when it came to me , I felt the unease settle deeper in my stomach .

Why was he acting this way ? And why was he involving me in something that clearly made him uncomfortable ? He had always been the one to keep things under control .

Im not ignoring you , he said softly , his voice almost apologetic .

Its just safer for us to talk about this inside .

Talk about what ? I asked , feeling a sick twist in my stomach .

There was something incredibly important happening here , something that Alexander wasnt telling me .

Whatever it was , it was weighing on him , making him uncertain .

And that scared me .

But it didnt scare me enough to stop asking .

I needed to know what was going on .

How was it possible that Alexander had captured a well known wanted criminal , yet she wasnt in jail ? She wasnt in the kings hold , either .

Instead , she was being kept in some strange warehouse on the outskirts of town .

The whole thing felt off , like something illegal was happening right under my nose .

It made my y stomach churn with unease , but I didnt want to accuse Alexander of anything underhanded .

That wasnt the man I knew , and I didnt want to accept that there might be another explanation .

But he just wasnt opening up to me , and it was frustrating beyond measure .

So talk then , I said , placing my hands on my hips and fixing him with a steady look .

Ill talk to you , Alexander said , his voice steady but firm .

But now really isnt the time , Ella .

I understand that you have questions , and youre right I do owe you an explanation .

But right now , we need to focus on the task at hand .

Dr.

McIntyre is in this building .

Theres something she wants to tell you .

19 He stepped forward and tapped a pattern into the door in front of us .

After a moment , I heard it unlock.

Alexander put his hand on the knob , then looked back at me .

Its important that we get that information so we can decide what our next move is going to be .

We dont have time to waste .

We dont know where David went after he ran away from you , and we dont know what hes planning or what he might do in the meantime .

Dr.

McIntyre is safest here , where no one besides us can find her .

If she were in jail , David and his people could reach her .

Even if she were in the Kings hold , theres a chance David could have contacts that could get to her .

The only people I can trust right now are my people .

You understand that , dont you ? I stared at Alexander , the unease twisting deeper in my gut .

But there was so much logic in what he said th couldnt argue with it .

I nodded reluctantly .

Okay , I said , my voice quiet but resolute .

But youre going to explain it to me later .

Ill hold you to that 1/2 Chapter 0292 promise .

I know you will , Alexander said , squeezing my hand .

Then he opened the door .
