Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

+25 BONUS Chapter 0317 Chapter 0317 I cant really blame her for treating me the way she does , he continued with a shrug , Maybe thats why I do my best to ignore her comments .

When my dad died , she wanted her brother to take over the pack temporarily since Michael and I were both so young … but I refused .

There was no way I was going to hand over control of the pack to someone from the outside .

I knew if I allowed that , theyd never give it back to me .

He paused , his jaw clenching .

So , I stepped up the best I could .

I made a lot of mistakes .

I was young , foolish , and reckless … caused a few scandals .

But luckily , we were able to cover most of it up .

Back then , our pack was prosperous and powerful but not famous , so people werent paying too much attention to what I was up to .

After a few years , I got my act together and started focusing on the company … on running the pack the way my father would have wanted .

Alexander fell silent , staring at the whiskey bottle in his hand before taking another long swig .

That … is shocking , I said softly .

I cant imagine how difficult that mustve been for you .

But … you know youve done an amazing job , right ? Your pack is lucky to have you .

He smiled at me and nodded slightly .

Ive done my best , he said .

But my best is never going to satisfy Diana , and … Ive come to terms with that .

It seems like a lot for her to still resent you , I said .

I can understand her being disappointed that her biological son didnt become Alpha , but youve done such an amazing job , and you treat her so well .

Thats not the only reason she has a problem with me , Alexander said softly , turning his head away .

A pained expression crossed his face .

I frowned in confusion .

What more could there be to explain Dianas attitude ? Alexander took a shaky breath .

Its not just that Dianas not my biological mother , he said hesitantly .

I also found out that Leonard Black … wasnt my father .

I stared at him in disbelief .

His words didnt make any sense .

If Alexander had been the product of some young romance his father had , the story would add up .

But how could he not be related to either of his parents ? So … youre adopted ? I asked uncertainly .

Yes , Alexander answered , and there was so much shame in his face that it made my heart ache for him .

But … why is that such a bad thing ? I asked , confused .

Surely your father chose to adopt you .

He did , Alexander agreed , his voice heavy .

But not out of the goodness of his heart .

Its … much more complicated than that .

Complicated how ? I asked .

Im sorry , Alexander .

I know this is painful for you to talk about , but … Im so confused .

Alexander took another drink from the bottle , then set it on the counter and stood up straight , crossing his arms over his midsection .

His face was tense , and I couldnt tell if he was feeling disgust or anger .

He took a deep breath , steadying himself , his gaze fixed on the floor .

The problem is … who my real father is , he said softly .

This is why I didnt want to talk to you about any of this , Ella .

This information … you have to understand , it must remain a secret .

It could be very dangerous .

Not just for you , but for everyone I care about if this were to get out .

My heart raced .

I could feel that whatever Alexander was about to tell me would change everything .

I braced myself .

1/2 Chapter 0317 You have my word , I said earnestly .

You can trust me .

He looked at me for a long time , weighing my words .

Finally , he nodded .

Alright , he said softly .

Ill tell you everything .
