Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

hapter 0354 Chapter 0354 Does that mean hes announced Davids arrest , too ? I asked .

Yes , Alexander said , irritation flashing across his face .

It was obvious once again , the king had made a major decision without giving us a heads up .

I turned to Diana , suspicion creeping into my expression .

She had been advising the king .

She was pretending to be surprised now , but she must have known .

And yet … something didnt add up .

Amanda was her accomplice .

Why would she advise the king to arrest her ? We have to go , Alexander said , this time addressing Diana .

He tightened his hold on me and we turned and started to walk , Alexander steering me toward the elevator Behind us , Diana exhaled sharply , the click of her heels echoing as she followed .

This is ridiculous , she snapped .

First , you bring Michael here without my permission , and now you wont even take the time to speak with me .

What is the meaning of this disrespect ? Michael surprised us with a visit , Alexander replied coolly .

Hes an adult .

Hes allowed to visit friends .

Friends , she muttered bitterly under her breath .

Alexander came to an abrupt halt .

Releasing his hold on me , he turned sharply to face her .

In an instant , he was standing too close , forcing Diana to tilt her head to look up at him , shock and something close to fear flickering in her eyes .

I- Enough , Alexander commanded , his voice like steel .

I have more pressing matters to deal with than your pride or your disrespect .

That is no way to speak to your mother , she shot back , her voice low and firm .

And this is no way for a grown woman to behave , he retorted .

Diana glared at Alexander steadily , unyielding .

I could feel his anger rising , his patience normally so vast- reaching its limit .

But she had no idea just how dangerous he was when pushed too far .

I stepped forward and lightly grabbed his arm .

Alexander turned to me , his jaw clenched so tightly I could see the tension in every muscle .

He was barely holding himself together .

I gave his arm a gentle pull .

For a moment , he resisted , then exhaling sharply he took a step back .

I turned my attention to Diana .

The anger I felt toward her was different from Alexanders .

There was no personal betrayal , no heat to it .

Just cold , unwavering resolve .

I stepped into the space Alexander had just vacated and met Dianas glare head on ..

Alexander is being polite , I said icily .

But I wont be .

You werent invited here .

Youre not welcome .

And you dont get to insert yourself into our lives whenever you feel like it .

Your tantrums wont get you your way .

My voice lowered , each word laced with finality .

We are leaving .

You can walk out on your own , or security can escort you .

Thats your decision to make .

Her expression twisted with fury .

How dare you , she spat Just who the hell do you think you are ? Im your Luna , I snapped , my voice edged with a growl .

And you will treat me like it .

+25 BONUS Chapter 0354 Rage flickered in her eyes , but she swallowed whatever words she wanted to hurl at me .

With a sharp inhale , she shoved past me and stormed toward the staircase , heels clicking furiously against the floor .

I watched her go , feeling an odd sort of numbness settle over me .

She had conspired with Amanda to kill me and she failed .

Now , she had to live with the fact that I stood above her , stronger , untouchable .

And one way or another , Diana would answer for what shed done .

Alexanders warm fingers slid into mine , drawing my focus back to him .

A slow smile spread across his lips as he pulled me against him , bending to kiss me deeply .

I melted into him , savoring the brief contact .

I like seeing you confident , he murmured against my lips .

I smiled .

Im glad .

But we really dont have time to celebrate right now .

A shame , he muttered .

But youre right .

Lets go have a little chat with the king see if we cant figure out just what the hell hes thinking .
