Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 0336 Chapter 0336 Ella POV I woke up with my head pressed against Alexanders chest , his arms wrapped securely around me .

The warmth of his embrace should have been comforting , but it did nothing to calm the chaos of my waking .

Both our phones were ringing , and someone was pounding on the apartment door .

Alexander pressed a quick kiss to the top of my head before gracefully pulling away .

I watched as he grabbed a pair of pants from the bedroom floor , pulling them on as he rushed out to answer the door .

I reached blindly for my phone on the nightstand , answering without checking the caller ID .

Oh my God , Ella , Elizabeths panicked voice burst through the line .

Im so sorry , I dont know how- From the living room , Alexanders furious voice boomed , What ?! Alarm jolted through me.

I scrambled out of bed , yanking on my bathrobe and tying it tightly as I hurried toward the commotion .

What is it ? Whats wrong ? I demanded into the phone .

They released him my father , he- How could this happen ?! Alexanders voice thundered .

I stepped into the living room to find August standing ashen faced , while Alexander paced like a caged predator , his entire body coiled with restrained fury .

A knot of dread twisted in my stomach .

What ? I choked out .

Your father did what ? Archers been released from custody , Elizabeth said .

What ?! I shouted .

Why ? There wasnt enough evidence to hold him .

Amanda came forward last night , August interjected , drawing my attention to him .

His voice was tight , controlled , but I could see the rage simmering beneath the surface .

I dont know what she told the king to convince him , but Archer arrived home early this morning .

A wave of helplessness crashed over me .

How is this happening ? Im so sorry , Elizabeth whispered , her voice trembling .

Im so , so sorry .

I turned to Alexander , only to find his eyes burning with something dangerously close to madness .

He took a sharp breath , visibly forcing himself to remain in control , but I could see it the battle raging beneath his skin .

I thought of what he had once told me about the wolfs instincts becoming his own .

Right now , his wolf wanted violence , and Alexander was doing everything in his power to hold it back .

I stepped closer to him .

What do we do ? He exhaled harshly , his jaw clenching as he cast a glance at August .

I dont know , he admitted .

This never should have happened .

Turning back to the phone , I gripped it tighter .

Elizabeth , s anyone advising your father ? Hes making decisions +25 BONUS Chapter 0336 that seem- Reckless , Alexander finished , his voice laced with fury .

Elizabeth hesitated .

I dont know , she said finally .

Ive been out with Damien , preparing for our engagement announcement .

I dont know whats been happening at home , but … something is wrong .

You have to find out for us , I said , keeping my voice as calm as possible .

This doesnt seem right .

Someone must be influencing your father .

Manipulating him , Alexander corrected .

Lets stop beating around the bush and be honest here .

He gave me a pointed look , and I hesitated before putting the call on speaker so Elizabeth could hear him clearly .

Alexander and August are here , I said .

Ive got you on speaker .

Okay , Elizabeth replied hesitantly , her voice tight with emotion .

I know this is difficult for you to hear , Alexander said , his voice carrying that deep , dangerous edge that always reminded me of his other side .

But Ellas life is at risk .

Someone is trying to kill her .

So the accident last night- Wasnt an accident , Alexander interrupted .

I know youre smart , Elizabeth .

I know you understand whats happening better than most .

And Ella isnt the only one in danger .

If these people arent stopped , more lives will be at risk .

Silence stretched across the line before Elizabeth finally spoke .

I know … but I dont know what to do .
