Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 0348 Third Person POV Elizabeth descended into the basement of her house , a heavy weight pressing against her chest .

She had no idea what was going on with her father or why he was acting as he was , but she knew it was dangerous .

He didnt seem to understand how serious the situation was .

Someone was scheming in the Roguelands .

Their motives were unclear , but one thing was certain they threatened her family .

This was supposed to be a happy time in her life .

She was engaged to an amazing man .

Her father was finally retiring , which meant she might actually get some privacy for once .

She should be celebrating .

Instead , she found herself sleepless , trapped in the middle of a game she didnt understand .

This wasnt her world .

She knew little about the criminal mind or what the Rogues were after .

She needed insight desperately .

And there was only one person who might have it .

Dr.

Brianna McIntyre .

The woman was being held in the cells beneath the house .

Normally , the guards would never allow Elizabeth to visit her alone , especially since David was also being held in a separate room down there .

Theyd deem it too dangerous .

But tonight , luck or perhaps foolishness was on her side .

The head guard on duty was a childhood friend .

He had been clearly uncomfortable with her request , but eventually , he had relented .

So here she was .

Sneaking into her own basement in the dead of night .

The key felt cold in her palm as she stepped toward the door .

The guards stationed at the end of the hall deliberately turned their eyes away , pretending not to see her .

Elizabeth inhaled deeply , steadying herself , then unlocked the door and stepped inside .

The cell was small but comfortable more than a prisoner in her fathers custody deserved .

A single bed , a desk , a chair .

A small door leading to a private bathroom .

Dr.

McIntyre sat up from the bed , her expression darkening with distaste .

What do you want ? she asked .

Elizabeth hesitated for only a moment .

To talk .

Talk to yourself , Dr.

McIntyre snapped .

I have nothing to say to you.

What good will ignoring me do ? Elizabeth demanded , stepping further into the room .

Youre already locked up here .

Refusing to cooperate will only- You think I dont know how much trouble Im in ? The doctors glare was sharp enough to cut .

When I agreed to help bring those people down , I knew I could end up dead myself .

Then why do it ? Dr.

McIntyre studied her for a long moment , as if searching for something in Elizabeths face .

Whatever it was , she seemed to find it .

The hatred in her expression melted into something else .

Something hollow .

Chapter 0348 +25 BONUS I wanted revenge , she admitted quietly .

But I realize now that was foolish .

No amount of hurting you or the other alpha brats is going to bring my parents back .

Elizabeth stiffened .

Bring them back ? Dr.

McIntyres voice was numb .

Theyre dead .

They died in exile .

Elizabeth swallowed hard .

Im sorry .

Sure , the doctor scoffed , exhaling a weary sigh .

Im sure you are .

But it doesnt matter .

All that matters now is making sure no one else ends up like them .

Elizabeth frowned .

So thats why you were targeting Alphas and their families , but why turn on David ? How does that help ? Dr.

McIntyre let out a bitter laugh .

This whole system we live under isnt natural .

You realize that , dont you ? People pretend that being an Alpha is something youre born into , something chosen by the goddess .

Its just a way for the powerful to stay in power , and for the rest of us to be controlled .

David is delusional .

Hes dangerous because of it .

Elizabeths jaw tightened .

We can agree on that , at least .

Im glad to hear it , McIntyre murmured .

So if you already know all of this … what do you want from me ? Im nothing but a prisoner now .

An exile .

What could a princess possibly need from me ? Elizabeth sighed .

Truth be told , she wasnt sure .

She had come looking for answers , but now that she was here , it felt like a mistake .
