The sickened luna’s last chance
Chapter 11
Chapter 11
Ella POV
Alexander’s scent made my head spin this close, and for a brief second, I almost considered telling him whatever he wanted to know. Even with a dormant wolf, the mate bond urged me to reassure him that I wasn’t cheating on him. I had never even slept with a man before I met Alexander.
But I couldn’t tell him that. What if it would change his mind about the contract? What if he would decide not to divorce me in the end after all? I had to play my cards right.
“I met Liam in grade school,” I answered coolly, flipping over so my back was facing him. “We hit it off immediately.”
Technically, it was true. Liam and I had become friends quickly as children, like two old souls connecting with just one look.
Alexander just didn’t know that there was nothing more to it than friendship.
I heard him huff softly as he flopped back down onto his back on the other side of the bed.
“How long have you two been seeing each other?” he asked after another moment.
I bit my lip, hesitating, then gave him another half-truth: “We didn’t see each other for more than a decade. He went away when he was ten.”
“So it’s a recent thing, then. Your relationship.”
“I guess so.” I replied vaguely.
Alexander grunted, and I thought the probing questions would finally stop. But then he asked, “And what do you intend to do when our contract is up? Marry him?”
“Does that matter?” I blurted out. “You and I were never in love. In nine months, we’ll go our separate ways.”
“Just tell me.”
I sighed. “I don’t know. I guess we’ll run off into the sunset together.”
My vague answers didn’t seem to please Alexander. Over the next fifteen minutes, he asked more and more questions, all of which I answered as sparingly as I could.
Eventually, I grew too tired to keep answering. The last thing I heard before I finally drifted off to sleep was Alexander’s deep voice.
