Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 0353 Ella POV Something about Diana was off .

Every time I had interacted with her before , she had maintained a pretense of politeness , a faint affection , as if she at least wanted me to believe she liked me that she had my best interests at heart .

But now , as she looked at me , that facade was gone .

She wasnt even pretending anymore .

I wouldnt call it hatred that I saw in her eyes .

It was something colder , more dismissive .

She was looking at me the way one might look at an insect something insignificant , beneath her , an annoyance she was tired of dealing with .

I was no longer an obstacle to be carefully stepped around .

I was simply in her way .

You know , Ella , she said thoughtfully , tilting her head , from the moment I found out you and Alexander had started dating , I had the strangest feeling that it was wrong >> I crossed my arms .

What do you mean ? I asked skeptically .

She let out a soft sigh , as if she were truly lamenting the situation .

I often wondered what kind of woman Alexander might be fated to , and you just dont fit the bill .

Hes intelligent , charming , and strong .

Youre … well … She trailed off deliberately , giving me a pitying look , as if waiting for me to fill in the insult myself .

I didnt .

Instead , I watched as a fake , sorrowful expression crossed her face .

I just always thought hed end up with a woman worthy of him , she continued , shaking her head .

I suppose this kind of thing can happen when a couple chooses to marry for love rather than wait for the right person .

I held her gaze , unflinching .

We are fated , I corrected her Her expression froze for a split second before her eyes narrowed .

What ? We are fated , I repeated , more firmly this time .

We didnt know when we got married , thats true .

But Ive recovered my wolf now .

Diana stared at me in stunned silence , her eyes going wide , her mouth opening slightly as if she wanted to speak but couldnt find the words .

I smiled .

I wasnt sure if she was more shocked that I had my wolf or that Alexander and I were fated , but either way her reaction was priceless .

Thats not possible , Diana said in a low , tense voice .

Its true , I replied .

I know it seems unbelievable .

When we realized , we were ecstatic .

We had felt something drawing us together all along , of course , but having it confirmed was incredibly reassuring .

Dianas expression darkened .

How could you recover your wolf ? she demanded .

Ive been in treatment for years , I said .

The sudden anger flashing in her eyes made me instinctively take a step back .

It was only a matter of time before I got better .

Thats- She caught herself , her fury vanishing in an instant , replaced by a smooth , unreadable expression .

+25 BONUS Chapter 0353 Thats incredible .

I nodded but didnt dare take my eyes off her .

I had struggled to believe that Diana could be working with Amanda , but the way she was acting now it was clear she was capable of far worse .

The soft chime of the elevator behind me brought a rush of relief , and I stiffened as Alexanders hurried footsteps approached .

What are you doing here ? he asked , his voice sharp .

Diana scoffed .

What kind of greeting is that for your mother ? I dont have time for a visit , he replied , slipping an arm around my shoulders .

His voice lowered as he leaned in .

We need to talk somethings just happened .

What now ? I asked , unable to hide my frustration .

Theres a live press conference happening right now , Alexander said , his gaze flicking briefly to Diana .

The king is making a statement .

About what ? Diana asked .

Not more bad news .

Amanda Gray has been arrested , Alexander replied .

What ? Diana said breathlessly .

I stared at him , wide eyed .

I dont understand , I said .

I thought they didnt have enough evidence .

They didnt have enough to hold Archer , Alexander corrected .

But Amanda was Davids accomplice and apparently he finally broke down and admitted to everything .
