Ella’s handling of Amanda completely caught me off guard, and I wasn’t sure how I felt about it. How could she have any pity for the woman who had put her through so much? It eluded me.

At the same time, it showed a level of control and cleverness that was undeniable. A true Luna–not only showing mercy but doing it in a way that didn’t tip her hand. She hadn’t made herself seem weak or easily manipulated.

Still, it felt like a change that came out of nowhere.

I didn’t have a chance to ask her about it now. There was too much risk of being overheard.

After a few minutes, the King returned to the upper level, his expression slightly disturbed. He shook his head.” How does a person lose touch with reality to that degree?”

Ella glanced toward the door where Amanda’s screams still echoed. “She’s been through a lot,” she said quietly.

I scoffed. “She brought it on herself.”

Ella sighed. “That’s true… but still, if David hadn’t put her through so much, I don’t think she’d be this way.”

Then she turned to the King, her expression serious. “Have you had a doctor examine her?”

The King frowned. “No.”

“Please do so right away,” Ella insisted. “I’ve known Amanda my entire life. I know her scent… something is off.”

The King and I both stared at her in surprise.

“What do you mean ‘off‘?” I asked.

Ella hesitated, then exhaled softly. “I think she may be pregnant.”

The King cursed under his breath. He straightened, rubbing his temples. “I’m afraid this meeting will have to be postponed,” he said apologetically. “I have to deal with all of this.”

Ella nodded. “We understand. We’ll return when things are less chaotic.”
