Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 0340 Alexander POV I reached the lobby and was nearly out the door when a familiar voice called my name .

I froze , turning in confusion to find Michael rushing toward me .

What are you doing here ? I asked as my younger brother practically barreled into me .

His frantic eyes , wide and wild , sent a jolt of alarm through me .

I have to talk to you .

Right now , he said breathlessly .

Im sorry I didnt call ahead .

Okay , I said , nodding .

Take a breath .

Lets go to my office .

As we reentered the building and passed the reception desk , I called out to Andrea , Send August to my office as soon as possible .

Yes , sir , she said , her gaze flicking curiously to Michael .

I threw an arm around his shoulders , guiding him inside and into the safety of my office .

The moment the door clicked shut , Michael spun toward me , gripping my sleeves as if I were the only thing keeping him upright .

We have to talk , he said , his voice trembling .

I I dont know why I waited so long .

I just couldnt believe it was true , and- Take a breath , I urged , my concern deepening .

Michael could be excitable , but this … this was something else .

Tears brimmed in his eyes , his entire body trembling .

He looked at me as though begging me to understand , but he wasnt making any sense .

I need you to calm down , I said , steady but firm .

Whatever it is , you can trust me .

A sudden sob broke free , and the tears he had been fighting spilled over .

Without hesitation , I pulled him into my arms , holding him tightly .

Its Mom , he choked out against me , his voice breaking .

I wasnt supposed to hear , but I did , and now … now I dont know whats real anymore .

Diana ? I said in surprise .

What about her ? Is she hurt ? Michael shook his head .

No.

But if she gets her way , you will be .

A shard of ice pierced through me at his words .

Michael , I said sharply .

You need to tell me exactly what youre trying to say .

What is going on with Diana ? He took a few deep breaths , pulling away from my embrace .

His hands trembled as he met my gaze .

I overheard her on the phone the other night , he said shakily .

She was in the dining room .

I was going in to speak with her , but I stopped when I realized she was talking to someone .

I didnt mean to eavesdrop , but- Keep going , I urged , dread curling in my stomach .

Michael swallowed hard .

She was talking about having Ella killed .

The entire world seemed to tilt and freeze at the same time I stared into Michaels wide , earnest eyes , struggling to comprehend his words .

+25 BONUS Chapter 0340 No.

That couldnt be right .

He must have misunderstood .

I shook my head , clinging to reason .

What exactly did she say ? I asked , hoping praying there was some way he was wrong .

She … He hesitated , his gaze dropping .

Then , after a steadying breath , he met my eyes again .

She said , Ill make sure Ella Rowans last breath is a painful one .

His voice wavered , but there was no doubt in his words .

I shook my head , trying to deny the truth of his words .

I tried to convince myself I misheard .

That I was being paranoid .

But then I heard about the accident that Ella almost got hit and I couldnt stay silent .

It felt like the ground had been ripped out from beneath me I reached out blindly , pressing a hand against the wall to steady myself .

My heart pounded as if I had just run a marathon , and I couldnt seem to catch my breath .

Diana .

Diana was the one trying to kill Ella .

Was she working with Amanda ? Why ? Why would she do this ? It didnt make sense .

I knew she didnt like me , but this this was treasonous .

To target the Luna of her own pack … She had to know that if she was caught , shed be executed .
