Another Chance for the Luna Queen by Aurora Starling

Chapter 0013

Ella POV

I had no words to reply to Alexander’s ridiculous request, but I desperately needed his help. If this was what it took….

Besides, if I could force myself to kiss someone who completely disgusted me, there should be no problem with kissing someone that I genuinely found attractive. I had no feelings for Alexander, but that wasn’t really a factor; this was just to prove a point.

“This is… How did you get this?” I asked.

It seemed obvious to me that this drug was illegal, and I wondered how someone like Alexander would even manage to get hold of such a thing.

“Don’t worry about it,” Alexander replied. “Put it away befere someone sees.”

“I’ll burn the paper,” I said, slipping the drug into the inner pocket of my jacket, then folding the paper and slipping it in as well.
