Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 0333 Theyll malfunction , he said nonchalantly , as if it were the most normal thing in the world .

I froze for a moment , the implication of his words sinking in .

The police were going to cover up Alexanders involvement in this .

And it all seemed so routine to him .

We arrived at the police station , and Alexander parked around the back .

We walked up to the door together , and he knocked three times .

On the third knock , the door swung open , and an officer with a grim expression motioned for us to enter .

He led us down the hallway , pointed to a door , and stepped away , leaving us alone .

I could hardly believe this was happening , but I did my best to mask the confusion and shock on my face .

Alexander was right we needed whatever information this man could give us , and I didnt want to risk messing it up by showing how uncomfortable I was .

We entered the room to find a tall , broad built man with messy stubble and bloodshot eyes , slumped over the table .

He heard the door open , looked up , and I watched all the color drain from his face .

He stared at Alexander , recognition flashing in his eyes .

For a moment , I wondered how I hadnt noticed before how dramatic some peoples reactions to Alexander were .

I should have put it together , but I chalked it up to nerves around someone so well known .

Now , the fear was unmistakable .

Oh hell , the man muttered , sitting up straight .

I assume I dont need to introduce myself , Alexander said , stepping up to the long table .

He pulled an empty chair out for me before sitting beside me .

You can make this much easier on yourself if you just answer my questions .

Do I look suicidal ? the man snapped .

Of course Im going to answer your questions .

His voice was loud and clear , but I could see his hands shaking as he clasped them together on the table in front of him .

What exactly were you doing tonight ? Alexander asked , his voice steely .

I was paid a substantial amount of money to run over your wife , the man answered without hesitation .

Yet you claim not to be suicidal ? Alexanders voice had dropped into the low , chilling register I recognized as the voice of the Ice King .

Im not , the man said , his voice cracking .

Which is why Im going to answer all your questions .

He repeated the words , as if trying to convince himself .

Just tell me what you want to know .

Who hired you ? Alexander demanded .

Amanda Gray , the man replied immediately , without hesitation .

Who else ? Alexander pressed .

The mans expression faltered .

He looked at me , confusion clear in his eyes , then glanced back at Alexander almost helplessly .

He shrugged .

I dont know .

Amanda Gray is the only one I spoke to .

Shes the one who paid me and told me what she wanted done .

Was she alone ? Alexander asked , his tone sharp .

+25 BONUS Chapter 0333 Shes the only one I saw , the man said , his eyes darting between us .

She pulled up in a car .

She was the only one who got out .

I dont know if there was anyone else in the vehicle .

The windows were heavily tinted .

Alexander stared at him for a long , tense moment , his gaze unyielding .

Then , without another word , he stood abruptly and extended his hand to me .

I took his hand , and he pulled me up .

We left the room in silence .

I could feel the frustration radiating from him .

It wasnt the answer he wanted .

It didnt give us any information about who was helping Amanda , but it did confirm that she was the one behind the attack .

What do we- Alexander turned suddenly and slammed his fist into the wall , a growl of frustration escaping as he did so .

I stared in shock at the angry outburst , his hand embedded in the drywall .

My heart raced as fear coursed through me .

Alexanders anger had always been kept in check , but it seemed like the situation was becoming too much for him to handle .

If he was feeling like this , then we might really be in trouble .
