Another Chance for the Luna Queen by Aurora Starling

Chapter 0090

Ella POV

Alexander and I left his pack’s headquarters through the back entrance, slipping directly into his car. He had the curious habit of driving himself around, which I found oddly endearing. With so many staff members constantly surrounding him, driving was probably one of the few moments he could truly be alone.

Tonight, he was driving me home, ensuring I made it safely to my parents‘ house. It was part of the agreement he had with my father–that he was responsible for my protection whenever I was with him. And Alexander seemed to take that responsibility very seriously.

“Thank you,” he said as we pulled away from the building. I appreciate you standing by me.”

“Of course,” I replied automatically. “It would look bad if I wasn’t there. It would only raise more questions.”

“I know it’s all for appearances,” he said, glancing my way, “but I do truly appreciate the support. I hide it well, but I hate making statements like that.”

“That’s not necessary,” I said quietly. “I was just caught off guard, that’s all.”

“I won’t have you subjected to their rude questions because of me,” he insisted, his grip tightening on the wheel.
