Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 0084 +25 BONUS Chapter 0084 Ella POV My phone buzzed , and I glanced at the screen .

It was another direct message from a young woman I had never met , someone whose name I didnt recognize .

Her profile picture showed a pretty blonde , smiling in a way that made me feel uneasy .

I didnt have to read the message to know what it would say Are you dating Alexander Black ? You should dump him .

Hos bad news .

You cant trust him ! You have no idea what hes really like .

Please believe me I dont want him to do to you what he did to me .

It was the sixth message like this I had received in the last two days .

Nadia had only been the first .

More women , each with their own warnings , seemed to be coming out of the shadows to protect me from Alexander .

I had to admit that it bothered me , even though I had known it would happen .

Youve gotten popular lately , Elizabeth said , glancing at my phone as it buzzed again .

It just keeps going off .

I smiled apologetically .

I should just silence it .

Its nothing important .

Are you sure ? she asked , her voice laced with obvious concern .

Η Alexander had an important meeting and was busy all day , but I had come to the Capitol anyway , hoping to spend a little time with Elizabeth We texted constantly now , and our conversations had become a bright spot in my day .

It was comforting to have a true friend to rely on when everything else felt so strange and complicated .

Its really nothing , I insisted , brushing it off .

Is it … more of those women ? she asked softly .

I turned my gaze away , unable to meet her eyes .

I should have known things with Alexander were going too well .

Wed had so much fun together in the first couple of weeks of our fake relationship more fun than I ever imagined when this whole charade began .

Then , Nadia approached me in the food court , and the reality of everything came crashing down .

Alexander had a past , one he couldnt just outrun or pretend didnt exist .

Many women who had been involved with Alexander were coming forward , sharing their experiences with the media .

Most of the stories were minor complaints that he was selfish , flighty , forgetful , just not a good boyfriend .

But some were more damaging .

I had a hard time believing that Alexander could be the violent , vindictive man they described .

I had attempted to do some research on the women , but some of them had no social media presence , which struck me as suspicious .

I read the stories about Alexanders odd behavior how he would disappear for days without a word , refusing to explain where he had been .

How he always seemed too busy with work , even when he had made plans and promised hed show up for a particular date or event .

Many of these women had warned me that they believed Alexander had been cheating on them , It was the only explanation they could find for his strange behavior .

I had to admit , I couldnt think of a better one .

I knew Alexander worked hard , and running a large , powerful pack came with immense responsibility , but that didnt explain him vanishing in the middle of the night .

It didnt explain staying away for days on end , without so 1/2 +25 BONUS Chapter 0004 much as a word of explanation .

It bothered me to think that Alexander might be the kind of person who could do that .

I couldnt help but wonder if I had chosen the wrong person to aid in the campaign for king .

After all , if Alexander really could betray his lover , why would be be loyal to the kingdom ? It shouldnt bother me , of course .

Our relationship wasnt real .

But I couldnt stop thinking about it .

I didnt want to believe I had traded one cheater for another Ella , Elizabeth said gently , interrupting my spiraling thoughts , do you want to talk about whats going on with you and Alexander ? Nothings going on with us , I aid quickly .

Everythings been great between us , honestly .

Hes better than I could have imagined .

Its just … these stories that are coming out about him .

Im not sure how I should feel about it all , you know ? Of course , that makes sense , Elizabeth said .

You have feelings for him , but you dont want to be a fool and ignore the warning signs .

Im sure its a very complicated position to be in .
