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.

As soon as the door closed behind her, Michael turned to Alexander with a wide grin, his entire demeanor brightening. It was obvious that Michael admired his older brother deeply. The way he looked at Alexander, with a mix of respect and eagerness, tugged at something in my chest.

I didn’t have siblings myself, so I couldn’t fully understand their dynamic, but it was endearing to witness the bond between them, even if it seemed complicated.

“How long are you in town for?” Michael asked, leaning forward slightly.

“Just for the night,” Alexander replied, his tone casual. “Though I’ll be back again soon.”

“For wedding stuff?” Michael guessed.

Alexander said with a faint chuckle. “Wedding stuff
