Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

+25 BONUS Chapter 0341 And if she was careless enough to speak openly about it where a servant could overhear- My head spun , nausea creeping up my throat .

Michael stepped toward me , concern etched into his features , but before he could say anything , a knock sounded at the door .

It opened without waiting for a response .

August took one look at the situation and rushed inside , his sharp eyes flicking to Michael with suspicion .

Whats going on ? I need to sit down , I muttered .

I walked shakily to my desk , righted the chair I had knocked over earlier , and sank into it heavily .

Pressing both hands over my face , I forced myself to breathe .

Somewhere deep inside me , my wolf howled .

I struggled to even understand what I was feeling right now .

Was it anger ? Grief ? Betrayal ? Maybe a bit of all of it .

To think that the woman I had considered my mother for so long could try to kill my wife- Sir , August said , his concern growing.

Its my fault , Michael said .

His voice was tight with guilt .

I should have come forward as soon as I knew .

You are not to blame for any of this , I said , my head snapping up as my eyes locked with my brothers .

But- No , I cut him off .

Dont you dare blame yourself , Michael .

Youre a good man , and I owe you more gratitude than I can express for coming to me with this .

With what ? August asked .

Michael hesitated , but I spoke before he could .

Michael found out whos been working with Amanda Gray .

My voice sounded distant .

Numb .

Its Diana .

Augusts eyes widened .

He looked between me and Michael several times before shaking his head in disbelief .

This doesnt make any sense , he muttered .

It makes perfect sense , I said coldly .

She knows the truth about who I am , and she wants to take this pack back from me .

She wants to place Michael as the Alpha .

Ive never wanted that , Michael said , shaking his head in dismay .

I would never- I know you wouldnt , I reassured him .

Thats why youre here , telling me .

Because youre loyal .

Unlike Diana .

Michael hesitated , the struggle in his eyes painfully clear .

Dont worry , I said , my voice lowering .

Im not going to do anything rash .

Diana may have betrayed me , but shes still the woman who raised me .

Im not that cold .

You should be , August said darkly .

Maybe , I admitted .

But Im not .

What do we do ? Im in so far over my head .

Youre going to be just fine , I said .

Go home .

Try to pretend everything is normal .

If you hear anything or see anything strange , let me know .

But I dont think theres any reason for you to worry .

But shes a killer , he whispered .

If she finds out that I told you- I shook my head .

I cant imagine Diana would ever hurt you , I said sincerely .

Whatever else she is , shes a loving mother .

Youre her world .

Michael looked down at his feet , shame flickering across his face because he knew I was right .

I wanted to reassure him , to tell him he wasnt responsible for any of this that who his mother was didnt define him .

But that was a conversation for another time .

Right now , I needed to focus .

We have a lot of work to do , I said , turning to August .

Now that we have some answers .

Yes , sir , he agreed , nodding once .

Michael , you should stay for this , I said , straightening my posture , folding my hands on the desk before me .

Its going to be a long night .

Text Diana and let her know youll be staying here as my guest .

He nodded uncertainly but did as I instructed .

I was sure Ella would understand if I wasnt home for dinner tonight .

After all , she was growing accustomed to being the bride of the Ice King .
