Another Chance for the Luna Queen by Aurora Starling

Chapter 0174

Third Person POV

Diana stared at Ella in disbelief. Diana had never expected such confidence from such a young girl.

Most of what she had heard about Ella Rowan was from a few months ago. It all led her to believe she was timid, innocent, and too nervous to stand her ground.

But seeing her now, fiercely defending him, it was clear that it wan’t the case.

Diana felt a wave of conflicting emotions. On one hand, if Alexander was truly going through with this wedding, the pack needed a strong Luna by his side. As Alpha, Alexander’s choices were final, and the only viable path forward was to accept his decision.

Yet Ella was nothing like Diana had anticipated. Her composure, her defiance–these were not traits Diana had been prepared to see. She wondered briefly if Alexander had coached Ella for this meeting, warning her to be on guard.

But that didn’t quite add up. Diana was always as polite and diplomatic as possible when dealing with other packs. Why would he think she would be anything less?

Still, Ella’s poise had thrown her off balance, and Diana couldn’t help but reevaluate the young woman standing before her. Perhaps there was more to Ella Rowan than the rumors suggested.
