Another Chance for the Luna Queen by Aurora Starling

Chapter 0335

Ella POV

"If someone is targeting me to get to you," I said softly, "then could Michael and Diana be in danger too?"

Alexander shrugged half-heartedly. "I don't know," he admitted. "But it's probably best if I let them know the situation-just in case."

"They don't know anything about..." I hesitated, unsure how to phrase my question.

"No, they don't," Alexander said. "You and August are the only ones who really know. Well, the only ones who aren't part of that world yourselves."

"So there are others?" I asked, my curiosity piqued.

"There are," he confirmed. "But none who would dare expose me because they'd be exposing themselves too." "Like who?" I pressed.

Alexander glanced at me, a faintly amused smile crossing his face. "I don't think I can tell you."

"Really?" I said in surprise. "I guess that makes sense. After all, those aren't really your secrets to share." I looked down at my hands and frowned. I knew that it was childish, but I was so curious about this shadow world that existed alongside

ours.

"All right," he said, chuckling slightly. "If you're going to pout, I'll tell you just one... Slater."

My eyes widened and my mouth dropped open in shock. I never would have guessed that such a famous person would be able to hide a secret like that. Then again, Alexander managed it.

Alexander laughed at my reaction. "Our wedding was hosted by a criminal."

"It's fitting, isn't it?" he teased. "Since you were marrying one."

I couldn't help but laugh. He was right. In a way, it did explain Slater's behavior during the wedding.

He had been so conspiratorial with Alexander, far bolder with him than anyone else dared to be. It made sense now -he knew secrets about Alexander that gave him the confidence to act that way.

The mood in the car felt a little lighter as we pulled into the parking garage of the apartment, but the fear still lingered. Someone was trying to hurt Alexander. Someone neither of us could identify.

We went up to the apartment, and as soon as we were safely inside, Alexander pulled out his phone and made a call.
