Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

+25 BONUS Chapter 0054 Davids statements during his press conference were only the beginning .

He really wasnt prepared to accept that our relationship was over .

I couldnt believe that he truly thought he would ever be able to win me back after that , but he seemed determined .

The same night as the press conference , a delivery of roses was made to the house .

When I learned that they were from David , I refused to accept them , and the delivery man had to leave with the flowers .

More flowers came , along with other gifts .

I refused them all and demanded that they be sent back to the person who ordered them .

I wasnt sure if they really ended up going to David or if he was just informed that the delivery had been refused , but either way , I felt it would only be a matter of time until he got the point .

Apparently , that was foolish of me because after a week of refusing his gifts , letters started to arrive .

Without opening any of them , I used a red pen to write Return to Sender across the front of each envelope , then put them back in the mailbox .

David would have to get the point eventually and stop trying to contact me or at least thats what I wanted to believe .

I knew that he couldnt afford to keep this up for long .

Eventually , he would have to accept the fact that he was never going to win me back and move on with his life .

When he did , then I would be able to move on with mine and begin fulfilling my part of the deal with Alexander .

We both agreed that as long as things with David were still so scandalous and such a topic of public discussion , it would be a bad idea for the two of us to begin seeing one another or to announce our relationship .

Due to Alexanders past with women , we both wanted to make it clear that our relationship was different .

After all , it wouldnt be long before we were announcing an engagement , and we needed people to see that it was legitimate and not something that was being rushed into .

The campaign for alpha king had not truly begun , so we had plenty of time to play the long game .

But none of that could commence until David gave up his foolish attempts to win me back .

Third Person POV Another letter , with Ellas red handwriting scrawled across the front , was sitting on the dining room table when David walked in .

White hot anger flooded through him as he stared at the envelope .

David knew that something must have happened to Ella; there was no other explanation for her behavior .

He had known her his whole life and never once had she refused an apology from him or anyone else .

It went against her nature .

She was never so forward , never so bold or confident , and the sudden emergence of these traits from her had ruined everything He had it all so carefully planned out , but the moment he proposed , it all started to fall apart .

He should have known when Ella hit him with those flowers at the proposal that something had gone terribly wrong.

The two of them had talked about marriage for a long time ; she knew that eventually he would propose to her , so why should she have been so frightened that she lashed out like that ? Did she have a secret ? Had she begun to develop feelings for someone else ? With her wolf dormant , Ella was not capable of feeling the mate pull .

And she was a goody two shoes who always played by the rules ; she would never +25 BONUS Chap 0054 ) ! cheat .

So he shouldnt have had anything to worry about .

But if another man wasnt to blame for Ellas sudden change in behavior , then what was ? She would have forgiven him in the past , even for something like this .

All he would have had to do was apologize with tears in his eyes and offer her a token of affection , and she would have crumbled .

But now she was taking his apologies and throwing them back in his face as if they meant nothing to her , as if David meant nothing to her .

But that just couldnt be true .

He wouldnt accept it .

Maybe he was just too hasty and needed to give her more time to cool off .

After all , she had seemed truly upset .

The way she looked at him on the wedding night when she and her friends walked in on him and Amanda … He had never seen such a look of hatred from Ella before .

He didnt know she was capable of it .

Things were so messed up .

David had to find a way to fix it .

He couldnt lose to Ella of all people .

He was even willing to sacrifice Amanda to make things right , but that didnt seem to move Ella at all .

David regretted putting the blame on Amanda , but he had had no other choice in the moment .

He had to convince Ella to give him another chance .

If she had been alone when she walked in on them , he was sure that he could have done it , but there had been so many other people there .

Everyone shouting and causing a scene had gotten Ella more worked up than she already was .

If it hadnt been for that blonde girl , the Alpha Kings Daughter , David was sure that Ella would have listened to him .

Thinking about the way Elizabeth had comforted and encouraged Ella when she rejected him filled David with deep rage .

He knew there was nothing he could do to get back at her considering her status , but he wished that there were .

It was infuriating to him that that girl thought she could stick her nose into other peoples business the way she had .

as sure that s that she It wasnt as though she and Ella were friends ; Ella had never mentioned her before , and David was would have if they were actually close .

So why did she seem so invested in protecting , Ella ? Her presence had made Davids father so much angrier with him .

It wasnt bad enough that he had messed up , he had to do it in front of the Kings Daughter .

but There was no way they could talk their way out of this ; they were forced to take responsibility for what had happened .

Standing up at that press conference and speaking about what had happened was nearly too much for David ; his pride couldnt take the blow .

As he was reading the prepared statement that his mother had written for him , he realized that it wasnt necessarily over yet .

There was still a chance that he could draw Ella back to him .

After all , she loved him ; he had no doubt about that .

She had always been so eager to please him , so dependent on his approval .

There was no way that could have vanished overnight .

Nothing was making sense to him .

He picked the letter up off the table and carried it upstairs with him .

In his room , he used a small knife to cut the envelope open , took the letter out , and put it in a fresh envelope , which he sealed and addressed to Ella .

He stopped rewriting the letters after the second one was returned ; it seemed like a waste of time .

And he had no time left to waste .

20 Chapter 0054 David had to win Ella back .

He had to salvage his reputation and his power .

Failure was not an option .
