Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 0300 Ella POV Alexander was looking at me curiously .

I wasnt sure how could explain to him what happened in the original election race .

Honestly , my memories of that were spotty .

I wondered if the more time that passed in this timeline , the more I forgot from the first .

It would make some sense .

It was difficult for my mind to keep the two lives straight at times .

The election was close , I said , keeping my eyes on the whiskey rather than on Alexander .

But in the end , there was a scandal you couldnt talk your way out of .

The women , Alexander said thoughtfully : Thats how you knew about them.

Thats why you warned me ahead of time that theyd come forward with their crazy stories .

Thats true , I said .

Its also how I knew about the rumors surrounding the shopping center when it opened- and a number of other things .

But thats not what Im talking about , This was something more .

How so ? Alexander asked , leaning forward with interest Its hard to say , I admitted , finally meeting his eyes .

And not because Im trying to spare your feelings .

Not all I memories from the original timeline are clear .

There are things I honestly didnt pay much attention to , so trying to recall the details now is difficult .

You werent paying attention to my political downfall ? he teased .

I let out a short laugh .

No.

At that point , I was too focused on my own role in the election making sure I looked perfect , acted perfect , never stepped out of line or did anything to mess things up for David .

I hardly had time to talk to anyone , let alone pay attention to the news .

What do you remember ? he asked .

I remember that the scandal involved this beautiful blonde woman .

I can almost picture her when I close my eyes she was truly stunning , like a supermodel .

Her picture was everywhere .

I think she even did interviews , but I dont remember exactly what they were about .

I dont remember what turned the public against you and in favor of David .

Alexanders smile faltered , then disappeared entirely .

Whatever Id said had disturbed him .

You know who Im talking about , dont you ? I asked .

You know the blonde .

I have an idea , he admitted , his voice tight .

But its not something I care to talk about right now .

I exhaled , suddenly uncertain .

I know this is a lot .

I swear to you Im not crazy .

I know youre not , he said quickly , reaching out to take my hand in his .

I believe every word youve said .

I know you well enough by now to tell when youre lying .

And no matter how insane this seems its not a lie .

You really believe me ? I asked , almost unable to accept his words .

I do , he said .

Though Im going to need some time to let it all sink in .

Its a lot .

It is , I agreed .

I felt nervous , despite the fact that telling him should have been the hardest part .

It was only natural that hed need time to think , to process .

It wouldnt surprise me if he had his investigators look into this somehow .

I wouldnt be offended .

1/2 Chapter 300 I was just shocked hed heard me out at all and that he was even considering this could be real .

Alexander POV Everything Ella had told me was crazy and yet , I found myself believing her completely .

In a way , I was relieved .

This explained so much about what had happened between is in the past year .

Suddenly , all of Ellas odd behavior her cryptic little comments , her absolute certainty about certain matters- made perfect sense .

The fact that she had approached me at all made sense .

Whatever force had sent her back to try again must have put the idea of coming to me in her head somehow .

Because , while her explanation was logical , I still couldnt believe that she would have sought me out on her own .

There was no way she could have known we were fated .

I had no idea .

Then there was the fact that I had been incredibly suspicious of her when she first approached me Some other force must have been at play , even if Ella didnt realize it .

Which meant that whatever David had done in that timeline must have been truly horrific .

Why else would the universe step in to try to correct it ? Ella was talking in circles , avoiding the details , and I knew it must be painful for her to discuss .

But was burning .

I wanted to know exactly what that bastard had put her through .

She said she could remember the pain .

my y curiosity That was a loaded statement , one she had quickly moved away from .

What pain had he caused her ? What had he done to her ? I wanted to know .

And yet , I could see how raw her emotions were .

How difficult it was for her to talk about this .

Her tears reignited my hatred of David and I found myself feeling a renewed sense of urgency regarding his capture .

And there was still a part of my mind rejecting all of this , searching for another explanation .

But this wasnt some elaborate ruse .

Some long con .

I knew that .

The information she had she had already used it to repair my reputation and to bring David down .

Why would she do all of that if this was some kind of a joke ? The list of names you gave the king , I said suddenly .

Are those people you knew from the original timeline ? They were Davids closest confidants .

His generals , she confirmed .

A sick feeling twisted in my stomach .

I knew several of the people on that list .

They were low life scum .

Dangerous psychopaths .

That was why it had thrown me off to see Ella write their names so quickly , so effortlessly .

The thought of her being anywhere near people like that filled me with a protective anger I hadnt even known I was capable of .

If those were the kinds of people David kept in his inner circle , then he must have truly been a dangerous man- an unstable king .

Ella spoke of protecting people , of saving them .

By keeping a man like that out of power , she had done that .

She could step away from all of this now , knowing she had made a huge difference .

10 +25 BONUS Chapter 0300 But I knew Ella too well .

She wasnt going to stop until this was seen through to its absolute end .

Whether that resulted in David being exiled or executed , I couldnt say .

That depended on the king and what his investigations revealed .

If I were honest with myself , I hoped he would put David to death .

A man like that was too unstable .

He wouldnt stop , even if he were exiled to the Roguelands .

And we already knew he had allies there .

They would only make things worse .

As much as I wanted to spare Ellas feelings , there were still more questions I had to ask about this wild story of hers .

She had information that could still be useful , even if she didnt realize it .

I would need to push .

Even though I didnt want to hurt her .

Even though I didnt want to drag up more painful memories .

I still didnt have all the answers I needed .
