Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 356 +25 BONUS Alexander masked his irritation well , but I could tell he was growing weary of the Kings manic energy .

Still , he didnt protest .

Instead , he placed a steadying hand on my lower back as we followed the King to the door .

The King poked his head out , calling to the guards .

Escort Luna Black to the prisoners cell and give them privacy .

Alexander leaned close to my ear .

Are you sure about this ? Yes , I whispered .

I have a plan .

A ghost of a smirk crossed his lips .

Of course you do .

He kissed my cheek .

Dont let her get under your skin .

She wont , I assured him .

One of the guards stepped forward , hesitation flickering across his face .

Follow me , Luna , Alexander corrected , his voice sharp .

The guard flushed , nodding quickly .

Apologies .

Luna , Ill take you down .

) The staircase leading to the basement was carpeted , muffling my footsteps .

Though the air grew colder , there were no eerie creaks or ominous sounds just sterile silence .

The guard in front of me remained quiet until we reached the door .

Amandas screams were muffled but unmistakable , laced with fury and desperation .

The moment the door swung open , a flustered young guard nearly ran out .

Finally , he breathed , scrubbing a hand over his face .

Ive been hoping someone would relieve me- His words trailed off as his eyes landed on me , widening .

Stay by the door , the senior guard instructed .

The Luna will speak with the prisoner alone .

The younger guard hesitated , then gave me a small , respectful bow .

Please dont hesitate to call if you need us .

I appreciate that , I said smoothly .

But I wont need help The door clicked shut behind me .

Amanda sat on a narrow bed , one wrist shackled to the wall behind her .

Her once polished appearance had crumbled her hair was a mess , her eyes wild , and her expression a mixture of rage and disbelief .

The moment she saw me , she bared her teeth in a furious snarl .

What the hell are you doing here ? she spat .

I stepped closer but stayed just out of reach , pulling a chair away from the desk before sitting down .

I studied her , taking in what she had become .

At one time , Amanda had been my best friend .

I had imagined wed be inseparable for life .

But now , she was caged , frantic , half crazed all because she had tried to kill me to steal my mate .

It was absurd .

And to my surprise , I felt something unexpected .

Sadness .

Im here to talk , I said softly .

I wish it hadnt come to this , Amanda .

I really do .

And I wish you were dead ! she snapped .

But apparently every assassin in the Roguelands is an incompetent fool .

Chapter 356 +25 BONUS You shouldnt speak so openly about that , I mused .

You ll ruin any chance at a defense .

She let out a humorless laugh .

My life is already over .

You saw to that .

You ruined things between David and me because you were jealous , You couldnt handle that we were in love .

I smiled despite myself and shook my head .

You know what ? In honor of our friendship , Im going to be completely honest with you .

Amanda narrowed her eyes .

Honest about what ? How I knew the truth about you .

I tilted my head , watching her closely .

And everything I did to make sure you and David ended up exactly where you are now .

Her pupils dilated , her breath hitching .

The crazed look in her eyes sharpened into something more dangerous .

I knew it .

She bared her teeth .

I knew you did this to me .

I leaned forward , my voice turning ice cold .

I did .

Amanda let out a wordless scream , a guttural , feral sound of rage .

But I wasnt finished .

And do you want to know why ? She snarled , her chest rising and falling rapidly .

Because you killed me .

Confusion flickered over her face .

Then , suspicion .

I folded my hands in my lap .

Are you going to stop screaming ? I asked .

So I can tell you the whole story ? Amanda hesitated .

Her gaze flickered to the door before returning to me .

Then , slowly , she nodded .

I took a steadying breath .

My hands trembled slightly , but I tightened them into fists .

This was it .

The final move .

The nail in the coffin .

And so , I began to speak .
