Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 0339 Can I ask why not ? I asked , causing Alexander to glance at me in surprise .

Its just that we dont know who else may run , the Luna of Pine Forest replied .

At this point , Alexander is unopposed , and while he is , of course , a fantastic option , Im not willing to make a decision until I know all of my choices .

Thats fair enough , Alexander said smoothly .

And I appreciate you considering me .

Her answer was logical , of course , but something about it unsettled me .

Alexander was running unopposed because everyone else who had posed a threat had been arrested .

I couldnt think of a single Alpha with the experience and popularity to stand against him at least , not one that hadnt already been eliminated from the playing field .

Then again , so much had changed from the original timeline .

It was hard to predict anything anymore .

Dont frown , Alexander murmured , leaning down to kiss my cheek .

Though I appreciate that you seem offended on my behalf .

Of course , I said lightly .

I support my husband , after all .

He smiled , brushing a quick kiss over my lips .

Are you having fun ? he asked .

I smirked .

You and I both know this isnt about fun for us .

But still , Im glad I didnt stay upstairs .

So am I , he said .

I always feel a little more confident with you by my side .

Before I could respond to Alexanders compliment , the door opened to admit another guest .

We both began to move toward it but froze mid step as we recognized the person .

He stepped in , removed his coat , and handed it to the attendant before turning to the room with a wide , confident grin .

My breath caught in my chest , and for a moment , I felt like was choking .

I tightened my grip on Alexanders hand , unsure how he might react .

What is he doing here ? I asked , my voice barely audible .

Hes got some nerve , Alexander replied .

I felt him roll his shoulders , forcing himself to relax .

Together , we stepped forward to greet our unintended guest .

Archer Gray smiled broadly and extended his hand toward Alexander .

Sorry Im late , he said , his voice louder than necessary .

Nonsense , Alexander said smoothly .

Its an open invitation guests arrive whenever theyre ready .

I do appreciate that its not too formal , Archer said .

So many of the Alphas in our generation try to mimic their parents strict social rules , but weve moved past all of that havent we ? We certainly have , Alexander replied , his tone icy .

Archer turned to me with a smile .

Its good to see you again , Ella .

My stomach twisted .

Once , I would have considered him family my best friends older brother .

I remembered him sneaking us drinks at parties and patching me up when I fell as a child .

When had he changed ? Chapter 0330 +25 BONUS When had the kind , older boy I trusted gotten involved in crime ? Its good to see you too , Archer , I said carefully , I hope youre doing well .

Oh , Im doing much better now , he said , his grin spreading into something less than friendly .

Its been a busy couple of days .

Im sure it has , Alexander said .

His tone was devoid of interest if anything , he sounded almost bored .

I have been successful in my endeavors , Archer continue , in fact , I just left a meeting with my people .

Im preparing for quite a busy week .

Oh ? Alexander asked , arching a brow .

Yes , Archer said .

Im holding a press conference tomorrow .

Why is that ? I asked , wondering if he intended to address his recent arrest .

How could he possibly explain everything that had happened ? He shook his head slightly , as if he could read my thoughts , then smiled .

I plan to announce my candidacy in the election for Alpha King .
