Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 0053 My parents seemed to understand this .

They felt that I was still grieving the loss of my relationship .

I was content to let them believe that , if it allowed me to avoid seeing David .

I knew that I wouldnt be able to hide my hatred for him when I saw him again .

When the time came for the public address , I went downstairs and sat on the couch with my mother and father .

The TV was on already and tuned to the appropriate channel .

Neither of my parents said a word to me as I sat between them , but my mother leaned over and kissed me on the of my head , and my father put his arm around my shoulders in a show of support .

Once again , I felt a huge wave of relief wash over me .

If destroying Davids reputation was all that I did , then it was a mercy considering what he truly deserved .

I watched the television screen as David and his father approached a microphone stand .

Alpha Derrick stepped forward first , his eyes fixed directly into the camera .

He spoke in a slow , firm voice .

As Alpha of the Lunar Lake pack , I would like to offer my sincerest apology to the Rowanwood pack , and especially to Ella Rowan .

The actions that my son took were disrespectful and a violation of the oath that he swore to you .

It was regrettable and never should have happened .

We will be paying the price due to your pack within the week .

Alpha Derrick stepped back , ignoring the questions the reporters shouted after him .

Then David stepped up to the microphone .

He had a sheet of paper in his hand ; it seemed that he had written down what he wanted to say , which was probably a good idea so that he wouldnt make a fool of himself .

He looked down at the paper as he spoke into the microphone .

Im David of the Lunar Lake pack , son of the Lunar Lake Alpha and Luna , he said in a monotone voice.I am here today to offer an apology to the Rowanwood pack and Ella Rowan .

My actions are … David suddenly crumpled the paper in his hands and lifted his eyes up to the camera .

It wasnt just poor judgment , he said in a harsh voice .

Ella , Im sorry that I hurt you .

I never meant to do it , and I never would have done it if it werent for Amanda .

You and I both know what she can be like how she is when she wants something .

David pulled away from his -continued to speak .

Amanda attempted to seduce me .

Its the same dirty trick she played in the restaurant during our engagement party .

I dont know how the did it , but I know that shes the one to blame , and Im going to find a way to prove it to you .

The TV screen went black suddenly , then the faces of two confused looking reporters appeared on the screen .

We seem to be having technical difficulties , one of them said .

I looked at my father .

He was staring at the TV with rage on his face .
