Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 0066 Dont I ? His voice dropped , his usual playfulness replaced by something more serious .

Well , its the truth .

Davids erratic behavior isnt just troubling its dangerous .

I sighed , sinking back into my seat .

Yeah , Ive just been looking at his latest posts .

Hes doing everything he can to make things worse .

Not just worse , Alexander muttered , his voice tinged with disgust .

Did you see the one he posted just now ? I blinked in surprise .

Just now ? No , I hadnt checked .

There was a pause , and his voice softened again , almost as if he didnt want to burden me with it .

I dont recommend you look .

Its cruel .

I swallowed hard , his unexpected gentleness catching me off guard .

Im used to his cruelty , I said bitterly , the familiar sting of Davids manipulations cutting deep , even now .

That doesnt mean you have to keep letting it hurt you , Alexander said firmly .

Theres no point torturing yourself with his anger .

But … thats not the only reason I called .

I frowned , curiosity sparking in me .

What do you mean ? There was a tension in the silence that followed , something unspoken hovering between us .

When he spoke again , his voice was lower , more serious than I had ever heard him before .

Its been long enough , hasnt it ? My heart pounded .

Long enough for what ? I cant sit by and let him drag your name through the mud any longer , Alexander growled , anger simmering beneath his calm facade .

If Im going to publicly reveal how I feel about you , I cant let people think I stood by while he slandered you .

My breath caught .

He sounded genuinely outraged, offended on my behalf in a way that no one else had been .

It wasnt part of the plan , not really he was playing a role , I knew that but the way he spoke made my chest tighten , a dangerous thrill running through me .

What did he say ? I asked quietly , my voice barely more than a whisper .

Something vile , Alexander spat , frustration radiating through the phone .

But you dont need to hear the details .

I just want you to know that Im going to respond .

Publicly .

A mix of emotions surged through me relief , confusion , maybe even hope .

Alexander knew how to handle the public , how to spin things in our favor .

If he thought it was time , who was I to argue ? I trust your judgment, I murmured , but my hands trembled as I reached for my phone .

Let me take a look .

With a few taps on my phone screen , I pulled up Davids profile .

His latest post , from just a couple of minutes ago , had already garnered nearly a hundred reactions , As my eyes scanned the words , I felt my heart begin to race .

Its nice that so many of you are having fun at my expense , he posted , but youre wrong about Ella .

I know her better than anyone .

Shes a cold hearted Ice Princess , and no one could love her .

Shes useless as a Luna ; she doesnt even have a wolf .

None of the men youre all gossiping about want her .

Not even the ones that are complimenting her , like Alexander Black .

A cold feeling settled over me as I read his words .

Somewhere in the back of my mind , I felt a small sense of relief -it wasnt the worst thing he could have said but the harshness and public nature of his statements offended me deeply .

After all , he was the one who had wronged me .

What gave him the right to drag my name through the mud in a desperate attempt to salvage his reputation ? How could he possibly blame me for his actions ? 1/2 +25 BONUS Chapter 0066 Ella , Alexander said gently , are you still there ? Yes , I answered .

Im here .

I think youre probably right .

He cant be allowed to keep saying these kinds of things without us responding .

Ill leave it to you to decide the best way to handle this , I added .

Good , Alexander said firmly .

I know exactly what to do .
