Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 0080 Ella POV Oh , I said softly .

An uneasy feeling passed over me .

Whatever she wanted to talk to me about , I knew that it probably wasnt good .

I knew that Alexander had a reputation as a womanizer .

He had dated a lot of women over the past few years , but only ever for a few months at a time .

I had heard rumors that the breakups were messy , but I didnt know much about it .

In the original timeline , some of the women had come forward to speak out against him , which had hurt him in the election .

I had even heard rumors that Alexander had a child .

It was possible that the changes I had caused in the timeline were going to result in the women coming forward sooner .

That could be a good thing .

We might be able to handle the rumors and show that Alexander was a changed man .

We had time on our side now .

Its nice to meet you , Nadia , I said , standing up and offering her my hand .

I wish that we never had to meet , she replied , shaking my hand weakly .

I only came to speak to you because I felt that I had to .

I dont understand , I said .

Why would you have to come speak to me ? I have to warn you about Alexander , she said seriously .

I smiled gently at her .

Im sorry if things between you ended badly , but I assure you I dont need to be warned about him .

Yes , you do , she said insistently .

You dont know him .

You dont know what hes really like .

Hell use you and throw you away .

He cant be trusted .

I felt my smile fade away at her words .

Part of me was concerned , but mostly I was just annoyed at her for speaking about Alexander in such a way .

It shocked me how strong my negative reaction to her was .

Thank you for your concern , but Im fine , I said tensely .

I dont need to be warned .

He hasnt changed , she said .

No matter what hes told you .

Please , just take care of yourself .

Be careful .

Before I could respond to her words , Nadia turned and hurried away from me .

It was a busy day , and in seconds she was lost in the crowd of shoppers .

I was oddly offended by my interaction with Nadia , and the only explanation for that was that I had grown too attached to Alexander .

I knew that was a mistake , yet I had allowed it to happen anyway .

Everything between us was fake .

What was real was the fact that I had to protect my family and my kingdom from David Alexander was merely a means to an end nothing more .

I couldnt allow myself to become offended on his behalf because that would mean I was letting my guard down .

Trusting him or anyone else could lead me down a dangerous path .

If I did , I risked everything once again .

I took a moment to breathe , reminding myself of my purpose and the stakes involved .

I had to keep my heart safe and my mind sharp , even as the allure of Alexanders charm tugged at my resolve .

The sound of footsteps approaching alerted me to Alexanders return .

I stared at him as he approached .

He looked .

at me questioningly .

+25 BONUS Chapter 0050 Whats wrong ? he asked as he stopped in front of me .

Whos Nadia ? I asked as I handed Alexander his coffee , watching his expression closely .

His eyes went wide for a split second before he quickly shook his head .

No one important , he answered , a little too quickly .

I raised an eyebrow .

Did you date her ? He hesitated , concern creeping into his gaze .

Why are you asking this ? he replied, his tone guarded .

I sighed , setting my own cup down .

While you were gone , she came to talk to me .

She said she felt the need to wam me about you .

Alexander scoffed , the sound low and bitter .

Warn you ? Yes , I said , trying to keep my voice calm .

So , who is she ? He looked away , taking a sip of his coffee , the tension in his body obvious .

An ex girlfriend , he finally admitted .

Someone with dirt on you , by the sounds of it .

This is a liability .

Why wouldnt you warn me about this ? I asked , doing my best to keep the irritation out of my tone .
