Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 0297 Ella POV Alexander looked at me expectantly , his question hanging heavily in the air between us .

Panic raced through me as 1 tried to think of a way to respond that would defuse the situation , but nothing came to me .

I laughed uneasily .

* supposed to be the one asking the questions , I said .

Before we even spoke to Dr.

McIntyre , you promised me youd explain what was going on .

But now youre deflecting .

Youre the one deflecting , Alexander countered .

I need to know about that list .

I need you to explain how you know those people .

Theyre friends of Davids , I said , natrowing my eyes at him .

Why are you acting so strange about this ? He stared at me unblinkingly , as if weighing my words .

A frustrated knot tightened in my chest .

Alexander had been acting strangely himself lately .

I knew he was hiding things things I needed to know .

He kept saying hed come clean , then always found an excuse not to .

If I was being honest , it made me angry .

But more than that , I was exhausted .

Exhausted from hiding .

Exhausted from Davids mind games .

Exhausted from juggling two different lives in my head .

Exhausted from the fact that no one truly understood what was happening to me .

I have to know , Alexander said .

Ella , those men are very dangerous people .

I need to know how youre connected to them .

Handing their names over like that … they will come after you if they find out .

I felt panicked as his words sank in .

Id messed up .

I only knew those names because of the original timeline , but I couldnt explain that .

I had to distract him .

How do you think I feel when you refuse to explain yourself ? I asked .

And yet you expect me to tell you everything .

That doesnt seem fair .

I know it isnt fair , Alexander said softly .

What matters right now is that I understand how you know those men .

Ella , they are dangerous people .

If Im going to protect you , I need to understand how much you really know , His voice dropped lower , sharper .

I can tell youre hiding things .

You keep making little slip ups , saying things you shouldnt know .

And honestly ? Im starting to question what Ive gotten myself into with you .

31 I stared at him , wide eyed .

For a brief , incredulous moment , I almost laughed .

But the anger burned hotter .

I glared at him instead .

I could say the exact same thing to you , I shot back .

How do you know who they are ? What do you know about them ? The frustration on Alexanders face was quickly turning to anger .

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath .

When he opened them again , he spoke in a calmer voice .

I will tell you when the time is right .

That made me angry too , but I knew that it would be a mistake to let my emotions get out of hand .

Half of what I was feeling was my wolfs wild emotions .

It was difficult to separate them from my own , but I was trying .

1 took a deep breath , then said , Lets talk about this when we get home .

I could tell he wanted to argue , but after a brief hesitation , he nodded silently .

My mind was racing , but it kept circling back to the same thought Alexander was never going to open up to me +25 BONUS Chapter 0297 as long as he knew I had my own secrets .

If I wanted him to be truthful with ine and I did , more than anything- then I had to be truthful with him first .

And that felt impossible .

If I told him about the original timeline , about my second chance , hed think I was insane .

I hadnt even been able to tell my own parents , and yet … it felt like the only option I had to open up to Alexander , no matter how terrifying it was , no matter how dangerous it might be .

And I knew without a doubt it was very dangerous , If he had me thrown in an asylum for the rest of my life , so be it .

At least I would know that David was no longer a threat to the kingdom .

I had accomplished what I set out to do .
