Another Chance for the Luna Queen by Aurora Starling

Chapter 0017

Ella POV

The drug Alexander gave me to use on Amanda was meant to trigger a female wolf into heat, causing her to shift. Her fated mate would respond to the heat and shift as well. He would be unable to control his protective urges for

his mate.

I stood by my shocked parents and watched as the two hostile wolves jumped onto the table, growling at the staff. David even snapped his jaws like he was going to attack.

It was shocking to see. Everyone in the restaurant was watching. I could even see a few people with their phones out recording.

Amanda jumped from the table, landing on the next table over. David followed after her, knocking our entire table over in the process. Wine and food went everywhere.

“This is out of control,” David’s father said as he rushed forward.

“We’ve called for a doctor, sir,” one of the waitresses said. We just need to keep them calm until they get here.”

“I’ll handle it,” David’s father said. He walked confidently towards them, using his connection to David as his father and his alpha to get through to the agitated wolf.

David seemed to recognize him, and his growling ceased. Amanda was cowering behind David with her ears back, but she stayed still as well.

“Stop this nonsense immediately,” he said angrily. “Do you have any idea how many people are watching you right now?”

I looked out at the crowd around us. There were Alphas and Lunas watching this unfold. They all had looks of disgust or shock on their faces.

There were a lot of other people I didn’t recognize as well. Good. The more people that saw it, the better. They wouldn’t be able to lie their way out of this.

Across the room, I locked eyes with Alexander. His bright eyes were intense as he looked at me. It was hard to read the expression on his face, and it made my heart flutter strangely.

I looked away from him, forcing myself to focus on David and Amanda.

At that moment, a tall, professional–looking woman rushed in. She went directly to David’s father. “Alpha Derrick,” she said breathlessly. “The staff told me about the situation; with your permission, I would like to sedate your son Just enough to make him shift back.”
