Another Chance for the Luna Queen by Aurora Starling

Chapter 0040

I was completely silent as my hair and makeup were worked on.

I was replaying my murder in my head over and over again. The thought of walking down the aisle with David again made me feel sick to my stomach.

I didn’t try to hide the miserable expression on my face; I was sure it would be attributed to my argument with Amanda or just the stress of being a bride.

The truth was, it was much more than that. Despite the play I had in place, I was terrified that everything was still going to fail and I would be trapped, repeating the cycle with David.

I didn’t want to lose my family again. I didn’t want to lose everything to him and Amanda.

I wish I had been able to speak to Alexander properly. He had such an easy way of reassuring me–just being able to talk to him made me feel better. His allyship was the only thing I had to rely on in this life.

I couldn’t tell anyone the truth about the situation, and so the fact that Alexander was on my side was the only reassurance I had that I could avoid all the heartache and pain that had befallen me and my pack.

He was my only hope.

While I was sitting there pitying myself, I had almost forgotten about the problem with my dress–until my hair and makeup were finished. I looked into the mirror and hardly recognized myself. I looked like an old movie star, glamorous and natural.

up and glanced at the garment bag hanging on the back of the door. The dress I had bought on my shopping trip with my mother and Amanda was in that bag. I liked it a lot, but it was so similar to the dress Amanda had just left wearing

I felt ridiculous even thinking about standing beside her in it–people might not even be able to tell which of us was the bride at first glance.

At that moment, the door opened, and my mother walked in with a wide, bright smile on her face and a large garment bag in her hands.

“Just in time,” she said happily.
