Another Chance for the Luna Queen by Aurora Starling

Chapter 271

Chapter 0271

Ella POV

"How did Fiona trick you into coming out with her tonight." Alexander asked, a teasing smirk tugging at his lips as we settled into a dimly lit booth at the warm cocktail bar up the street.

Fiona kicked him under the table. Alexander winced and hissed in pain.

I laughed, unable to help myself, though Carlos looked uncomfortable, his eyes darting toward Fiona.

"Where are you from?" I asked, turning my attention to Carlos to ease the tension.

"Red Oak," he said softly.

"Are you related to the Alpha?" I asked, taking note that they shared a last name. "He's my uncle," Carlos replied, glancing at me briefly before lowering his gaze.

"He's a good man," I said, smiling kindly to reassure him. I've met him a few times. Our packs have good relations."

Carlos nodded. "He told me all about your wedding," he said. "He was very impressed with how well-planned it was. That sort of thing is very important to him. He says if someone can plan an event well, they can lead well.

"That's an interesting metric to go by, but I can see the logic in it," I replied thoughtfully.

It did make sense-planning an event was like leadership in some ways. You had

to anticipate the needs and desires of others and find efficient, effective solutions to address them.

"I didn't see you at the wedding," Alexander interjected, his tone curious. "You weren't Fiona's plus-one?"

"I had to work that night, unfortunately," Carlos answered

"What do you do?" I asked.

"I'm a border guard at the moment," he said.

Beside me, I felt Alexander stiffen slightly. The Oak Pack's territory was to the north of Alexander's, and one of three territories that directly bordered the Roguelands. Being a border guard there was an incredibly dangerous job.

"That's impressive," Alexander said, his voice serious now Thank you for your work."

Carlos shifted uncomfortably, mumbling a response I couldn't quite catch.
