Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 0312 Chapter 0312 +25 BONUS Alexander POV Ellas signal never wavered .

It was easy for me to follow , and while it was difficult to judge the passage of time in a situation like this , I knew it hadnt taken long before I had the vehicle in my sights .

It was a small car compact , unassuming , not even particularly expensive .

The kind that would go unnoticed , blending into traffic without drawing attention .

The windows were tinted , concealing the inside .

I had no way of knowing how many men were holding Ella or where she was seated .

But I knew slie was in there .

The signal confirmed it , and the absence of any other vehicles in the area made it obvious .

She was still in motion .

That meant she wasnt being held in one of the scattered buildings nearby .

Not that there were many structures around just stretches of farmland , a few small houses , and weathered barns dotting the landscape .

I followed at a distance , weighing my options .

I couldnt do anything that might put Ella in greater danger , but hesitation wasnt an option either .

The longer I waited , the greater the risk .

The road ahead was clear and straight .

No traffic .

No movement in the fields .

There was no reason not to act .

I pressed my foot to the accelerator , and the car lurched forward , the engine roaring as I pushed it to full speed .

It took the other driver a few seconds to react , but when he did , I couldnt help but smile .

That little car wasnt going to outrun me .

He was sure as hell going to try , though which meant I needed to make this fast .

The quicker I took him off the road , the lower the chance of Ella getting hurt .

Less than a minute later , I had overtaken him .

He tried to swerve away as I pulled alongside him , but the car jerked under his control for a moment .

It wasnt fear -I recognized that it was surprise .

Then , he slammed on the brakes , dropping behind me in an attempt to turn around .

I wasnt about to let that happen .

Cutting across the field , I turned without slowing , closing the distance quickly and pulling up beside him again .

I had to take a calculated risk to end this before it escalated .

Lining up my car with his , I turned the wheel sharply , slamming my bumper into his tire well .

His car spun off the road , plowing through a cornfield in a storm of dust and broken stalks before coming to a jarring halt .

I followed immediately , veering off the road and pulling up in front of him .

Killing my engine , I stepped out .

We were on a service road gravel , overgrown .

Good .

That meant no one was likely to stumble upon this .

No unexpected witnesses .

For a long , tense moment , the other vehicle remained still .

Then , the door swung open .

1/3 +25 BONUS Chapter 0312 The driver stepped out a large , burly man with a stern , scarred face .

A gun was in his hand .

A small handgun powerful , easily concealed .

He trained it on me .

I stared down the barrel , unfazed .

Unflinching .

He moved around the car , stopping near the trunk , and thats when I saw it the moment of recognition .

He went completely still .

So still I couldnt even see the rise and fall of his chest .

Had he stopped breathing ? I was tempted to smirk , but I kept my expression cold , impassive .

Slowly , he lowered the gun .

Then , after a pause , he crouched down amd put the gun on the ground .

With his hands raised in surrender as he straightened again .

That told me everything I needed to know .

He knew exactly who I was .

Ella POV I listened from inside the trunk , trying to figure out what was happening .

Silence stretched on for what felt like an eternity before I finally heard a voice the voice of my kidnapper .

It was muffled , making it difficult to make out his words , but there was something in his tone that unsettled me .

He didnt sound nearly as confident as he had when he yelled at me earlier .

He wasnt afraid , but there was an unease in his voice that couldnt ignore .

Then , another voice responded .

It was further away, making it even harder to hear, but the moment I caught the sound of it , my breath hitched .

At first , I thought I had to be mistaken .

There was no way it could be Alexanders voice .

I had known Alexander for a long time been with him through nearly every imaginable situation .

I knew the exact cadence of his voice , its depths and nuances .

And this voice … it was similar , but it wasnt him .

Still , I recognized it .

I had heard it before .

It was burned into my memory , yet I couldnt place where I knew it from .

I squeezed my eyes shut , slowing my breathing as much as could , focusing all my attention on trying to decipher the conversation .

I didnt know , my kidnapper said , his voice tense , almost nervous .

Didnt know ? That didnt make sense .

Surely , he had kidnapped me intentionally .

It wasnt as though he could have mistaken me for someone else .

I strained to hear the response .

2/3 +25 BONUS Chapter 0312 I dont care to hear your excuses , the second voice said .

A chill ran through me .

That voice … It was cold , controlled , and unmistakably familiar .

And now that I had heard it more clearly , I knew for certain I hadnt been mistaken .

It was the same voice from the first time I was kidnapped .

The voice of my rescuer .

A wave of unease rolled through me .

My feelings toward this voice were complicated .

Whoever this man was , he had saved me more than once .

But why the secrecy ? Why hide his identity from me- unless he was someone I knew ? I had wondered about this before .

I had caught glimpses of this tone slipping into Alexanders voice , but I had always dismissed it .

Or maybe I had been in denial .

Because now , there was no mistaking it .

This was the voice of the man who had saved me and my mother .

And it was Alexanders voice .

He was disguising it , but I knew him well enough now to recognize it for what it was .

Shock coursed through me .

I had no idea how this was possible or what it meant .

It only deepened the mystery surrounding Alexander , and on some level , that was deeply frustrating .

But more than anything , it was a relief .

Alexander had come for me .

He hadnt abandoned me .

No matter what this revelation meant in the long run , all that mattered right now was that he was here .

He came when I needed him , as he always did .

I was going to be okay .

Outside the car , the voices continued , their tones sharp with tension .

I still couldnt make out the full conversation , only catching scattered words , but I could tell there was some kind of argument .

It almost sounded as if Alexander knew my kidnapper and if that was the case , he was furious that the man had dared to do something like this .

Despite my relief , I remained on edge , wary of the possibility that my captor was only pretending to back down .

But after a few more minutes of back and forth , I heard footsteps crunch across the gravel .

Then , the latch on the trunk released .
