Another Chance for the Luna Queen by Aurora Starling

Chapter 0166

Ella POV

Michael had just returned from a trip with friends to a neighboring pack’s land for some casual camping. From the way he spoke about it, the outing had been uneventful, making Diana’s exuberant welcome feel even more out of place.

Of course, I wouldn’t comment on it; the tension in the air was palpable enough, at least to me. Michael, however, seemed completely oblivious.

He kept trying to steer the conversation away from his mother’s hovering remarks, shifting his focus to Alexander instead.

Finally, one of the staff members entered the room to inform Diana that she had a phone call. She hesitated, clearly reluctant to leave, but eventually excused herself, leaving the three of us alone.
