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.
