Another Chance for the Luna Queen

Chapter 0158

It's not that I don't trust your judgment," I said hesitantly. "I'm just... uneasy about all of this." "We can meet in person," Alexander offered. "It might be easier to discuss our plans that way."

"I'd love to," I replied, "but I promised my father I'd help him with some pack matters today."

"I see," Alexander said, his tone calm. "It's just as well. I have a few meetings I can't put off. I also wanted to ask you about the David situation.

I reached the end of the sidewalk and slid into the back seat of the car waiting to take me home. I leaned my head against the seat and sighed. Social media was buzzing about David again, and it was

maddening.

After everything, he was still a thorn in my side. I wished he'd just disappear, but deep down, I knew that was never going to happen.

"Yes," I said after a pause. "That's something we need to address. I agree, though I'm not sure what the best approach is. I was hoping you might have an idea."

"Does that mean I have your permission to handle the situation on my own?" Alexander asked.

His words gave me pause. There was a subtle edge to his tone, a quiet implication that he already had a plan in mind-one he didn't seem inclined to explain. Honestly, the thought of not being directly involved was a relief.

"Of course," I said quietly. "I think you're better equipped to handle this than I am."

"I appreciate your trust," Alexander said, his voice almost too casual. "I'll spare you the long-win

I considered his words, a small frown tugging at my lips. "He doesn't handle embarrassment well," I said thoughtfully. "Who knows what this could drive him to?"

"I've already increased security and spoken to your father," Alexander answered.

"You've spoken to my father?" I asked, surprised. "When did you do that?"

"This morning," he replied. "I warned him that David's activities seemed suspicious and that I was

concerned he might be planning something new. Security on your packlands will be increased as well."

"I'm not sure how I feel about that," I said, uncertainty creeping into my voice. "I suppose it's a good thing that you get along with my father, but I can't help wondering if should be concerned that the two of you are talking without my knowledge."

"There's nothing to be concerned about at all," Alexander assured me. "Isn't it a good thing that your future husband and your father get along? I would think that would be reassuring."

"It is a good thing," I agreed. "Of course, I want you and my parents to get along. Getting on my father's good side is a great start. I even think my mother is starting to warm up to you, despite her earlier concerns."

"Then why do you sound so concerned?" Alexander asked, his tone curious.

"Well, it's just that knowing you're speaking to my parents outside of my presence makes me realize I've yet to meet any member of your family."

I heard Alexander inhale sharply, but he didn't say anything in response.

"It's just... we're getting married," I continued carefully, "and I haven't met your mother or your brother yet.

Doesn't that seem odd? We should probably arrange for that so it doesn't seem suspicious."

There was still no response. A sinking feeling came over me. Was something wrong? It wasn't like

Alexander to be nervous or quiet like this. Was he hiding something from me? But why this? And why now?

The silence stretched between us, heavy and unsettling. My thoughts began to spiral. Was this whole plan going to fall apart after we'd already put so much into it?
