Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 0351 Alexander POV The office door burst open , and Ella rushed in , barreling straight into me and collapsing into my arms .

I wrapped my arms tightly around her , still seated in my chair .

What the hell is going on ? I asked , my voice a mix of concern and confusion .

August , who had been sitting across from me , looked more alarmed than Id ever seen him .

He stood , rushing to close the door behind her .

I just met with Elizabeth , Ella said frantically , her voice trembling .

Were in trouble .

What do you mean ? I asked , my concern growing .

What could she have told her that would result in this kind of reaction ? She looked back at the door , then shakily got to her feet , stumbling slightly .

Ella , breathe for me , I instructed , catching her before she could fall .

I held her steady , my mind racing .

She was the second person to run to me like this in just a couple of days .

Things were spiraling out of control , and I was losing my grip on the situation .

It frustrated and terrified me .

Ella took a deep breath , closing her eyes .

After a few more steady inhales , the trembling in her fingers eased .

She opened her eyes , her gaze locking onto mine .

Elizabeth had a secret meeting with Dr.

McIntyre , Ella said , her voice trembling with urgency .

And the doctor gave her some information that we didnt have before .

It may involve you .

Ice ran through my veins at her words .

Involve me ? I asked , keeping my voice calm but careful .

Theyre rumors , she said quickly , that some revolutionary group is involved in this scheme against the king .

But I think thats the least of our worries .

What could be more concerning than that ? I asked , my heart pounding in my chest .

Ella hesitated , glancing down at her feet before continuing Rumors have started spreading that Sabrinas child is yours .

Sabrinas child ? I repeated in disbelief .

My mind raced as I processed her words .

The timeline fit .

And if this was part of what Diana and Archer were planning to leak to the press … it would fit with the scandal that Ella had recalled from the first timeline .

An illegitimate child would be disastrous for my campaign under the best circumstances .

But in the middle of the chaos we were already caught in , it could be catastrophic .

Is that why youre so upset ? I asked gently , my voice quiet , as I watched her carefully .

Ella shook her head , her eyes filled with emotion .

No.

No ? I asked , surprised .

The little girl … she looks a lot like you , Ella said , the faintest ghost of a smile crossing her lips .

But I know , if she is yours , you didnt know about it .

You wouldve told me , and I dont think youre the kind of man who would abandon his own child .

A warmth I wasnt expecting filled my chest at her words .

To know she had such unwavering faith in me , despite everything shed learned , settled like a heavy comfort in my heart .

She was breathing deeply , trying to steady herself .

Whatever she had to tell me , it was truly upsetting her .

I waited , my own breath still as I glanced at August , who looked completely lost .

According to Dr.

McIntyre … Ella started slowly , her voice heavy with the weight of her revelation , the person behind this whole scheme- the one trying to take over the kingdom by controlling the election from the shadows is Ironfang .

August cursed loudly , and I heard something slam into the wall .

Ella stared at me , her eyes searching mine for a reaction .

I met her gaze , steady but now fully understanding the gravity of the situation .

I had suspected this … though I hadnt wanted to admit it .

Well , if thats true , then the good doctor has a death wish , I said blankly .

Now is not the time for jokes , August snapped angrily , his voice sharp .

Isnt it ? I shot back , turning my gaze to him .

Because the idea that anyone would betray that bastard is a joke .

If hes truly involved in this … You know him ? Ella asked , her voice tinged with shock .

She reached out , grabbing my arm and forcing my attention back to her .

Its just the kind of thing he would do , I muttered , frustration clear in my voice .
