Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 0311 Third Person POV The mysterious woman stood near the entrance of the room , her face shadowed .

Amanda narrowed her eyes .

There was something familiar about her something in the way she spoke .

It almost sounded as though she was disguising her voice .

That didnt make sense .

The woman was older than her by a fair bit .

It wasnt as if they had gone to school together or socialized in the same circles .

There was a distant possibility she was a friend of Amandas parents , but that didnt seem likely either .

Not knowing who she was working with bothered her , but not enough to make her stop especially since the stranger clearly knew what she was doing .

Youre sure ? Amanda asked skeptically .

The woman grinned .

Absolutely , she confirmed .

I told you there was nothing to worry about .

Ella has been taken .

Now , we only need to decide what to do with her .

Bring her to me , Amanda said instantly , anger slipping into her tone .

She imagined what she would do if she got her hands on Ella how she would make her pay for everything .

For the way she had treated her and David .

For her spoiled , selfish behavior .

For refusing to follow the path they had laid out for her .

Ella had ruined everything .

Now , Amanda might finally have the chance to make her regret it .

It wouldnt help David now , not directly .

But it would ensure Ella couldnt testify against him .

That , at least , was something .

Youre a fool , the woman said flatly .

There was no anger in her tone , no irritation .

Just a statement of fact .

Amanda bristled .

How dare you The woman merely grinned .

I understand your frustration ! she said smoothly .

And I appreciate your desire to take a hands on approach .

But it would be a mistake .

And not one Im willing to allow .

Amanda clenched her jaw .

She wasnt the one in control here , and she hated it .

This woman had captured Ella .

Amanda had done nothing but watch from the sidelines .

And what do you propose we do ? she asked tightly .

Im going to order the driver to take her over the northern border , the woman said , her voice calm , patient .

Several miles in .

Then hes going to leave her there .

Well let the rogues take care of her .

I can only imagine how that will go .

11 Amandas eyes widened .

It was cruel , And brilliant .

Whatever happened to Ella , it wouldnt be traced back to them .

She would simply disappear .

No more roadblocks .

No more threats to their plans .

Still , the thought of being abandoned in rogue territory , lost and defenseless , made Amanda shudder .

1/3 +25 BONUS Chapter 0311 Whats wrong ? The woman tilted her head .

Suddenly grown a conscience ? Or maybe youre feeling a bit of pity for your old friend ? We were never friends , Amanda snapped .

Do whatever you want with her .

Just get rid of her .

The womans grin widened more than Amanda had thought possible .

And when she spoke , her voice was laced with barely restrained amusement .

Leave it to me .

Ella POV I watched as my phone screen lit up first with a text notification , then , a few seconds later , a series of incoming calls .

Alexanders name flashed across the screen .

I considered trying to tap my nose against the accept button , but the car had gone quiet .

The only sound was the steady rumble of the road beneath me .

If I took the risk of answering , the driver would hear me .

He had already warned me not to make things more difficult .

I was still sore from the rough way he had handled me , and I knew that if he caught me on the phone with Alexander , he wouldnt just be angry hed be furious When the calls stopped , panic settled in .

Was Alexander giving up ? Did he think I was ignoring him , still upset after our fight ? The thought was ridiculous , but my doubts were difficult to shake .

Then , the phone lit up again .

Another text .

The preview of Alexanders message filled me with overwhelming relief .

On my way .

I could have cried .

He understood .

He knew what was happening , and he was coming for me .

I couldnt remember ever feeling so relieved .

I struggled harder against my restraints , twisting and pulling in an attempt to free my arms .

But it was useless .

When I felt something wet trickle down my wrist , I realized I had pushed too hard .

If I kept going , I would injure myself maybe even badly enough that I wouldnt be able to fight back when the time came .

I had no choice but to lie there in the cramped , dim space , hoping Alexander would reach me in time .

The exhaustion hit me all at once .

The fear , the tension , the adrenaline it had drained me completely .

Despite my best attempts to stay alert , the steady hum of the road beneath me was soothing , lulling me into a haze .

My eyelids grew heavy .

I didnt fight it as hard as I should have .

Maybe a little rest would help.

My mind was too muddled to think straight , and if I could sleep just for a few minutes maybe Id be sharper when I woke up .

That was what I told myself as I drifted into unconsciousness .

It felt like I had only been out for seconds when the car suddenly spun , throwing me hard against the side .

My head slammed into the metal , and I cried out in pain , but I had no time to recover before the vehicle made another violent maneuver , sending me crashing into the other end of the small trunk .

I had no idea what was happening .

The driver had become erratic , his movements chaotic until , all at once , I understood .

2/3 Chapter 91 +25 BONUS I remembered the way Alexander had driven , how he had outpaced the others in his desperate race to reach Dr Mcintyre .

He must be here .

He must have caught up to us .

And , of course , he had no idea I was in the trunk .

He wouldnt be careful .

He wouldnt slow down .

Honestly , I didnt care .

I could take a few more bumps and bruises .

I just needed Alexander to reach me .

To save me .

I didnt know who this kidnapper was , who he was working for , or what he had planned , but I knew it was nothing good .

And once again , Alexander was coming to my rescue It had to be him .

No one else knew where I was .

My wolf reacted to his presence .

I wasnt sure if she could scent him even through the metal and distance between us , but instinct told me he was close .

She was happy .

And then , there it was that warm , fluttering feeling that always settled in my chest when Alexander was near .

It had to be him .

Then , all at once , the car screeched to a halt .

I rolled , hitting the trunk door with a dull thud , and then silence .

I held my breath , listening , waiting .

Nothing .

Then , after a long , heavy pause , I heard the drivers side door creak open .

Footsteps .

Crunching against gravel .

Moving closer to the trunk .

I braced myself , expecting the door to fly open , sunlight to flood in but it didnt happen .

Instead , I heard another set of footsteps approaching .

Then , a voice .

Not Alexanders .

Or … at least , it didnt sound like him .

And yet , I knew it .

A voice I had heard before .

A voice that sent a chill down my spine .

A voice from another moment just like this one .
