The Sickened Luna's Last Chance novel Chapter 225

Chapter 225

Alexander

I stormed into my office and slammed the door hard enough behind me to splinter the wood in the frame.

The last thing I wanted to do was lock Ella up. After everything we had been through together, I had truly begun to trust her… and more.

I wanted to tell her how I truly felt about her. Today, I was going to come home and tell her that I wanted to make our relationship real–that I…

Goddess, I couldn’t even think that four–letter word anymore. I was so hurt and angry by this whole debacle that even the mere thought of love made me want to be sick.

If this contract was real and not forged, if it was true that Ella had signed a legal document outlining her plan to get pregnant with my child and manipulate me emotionally, I wasn’t sure what I would do next.

Lock Ella up for life?

No. No matter what she had done, I couldn’t do that to the mother of my child. I couldn’t let her rot away

in a cell.

And yet I couldn’t think of another option. But for now, I tried to push the thought away, focusing instead on discovering whether the evidence was real or not first.

“You won’t find me guilty,” she had said with so much conviction that it had almost made my heart crack right then and there. “You will trust me.”

Little did she know just how badly I wanted to trust her. All I had hoped for was a bright future with her and our child, but right now, I wasn’t sure if that future would ever come.

For now, Ella was a prisoner in her own home.

I spent hours that night trying to figure out what to do. With no Beta–I still hadn’t appointed a new one since Gabriel betrayed me, although now I was beginning to wonder if firing him was a mistake after all- I was completely alone in my investigation.

I had no one to turn to. No one to guide me.

By the time morning rolled around, the first rays of sunlight beginning to peek over the distant horizon, I hadn’t slept a wink. And how could I? I had to decide what to do with my seven–months pregnant wife, who was a spy all along for all I knew.

At that point, my mind had begun to grow addled from the lack of sleep. Every time I began to nod off for a brief moment, I would think of her. I could almost smell her hair, could almost feel her delicate fingers intertwining with mine.

I even began to think foolishly that if she were truly a spy all this time, if my five–year hunch was correct, all I wanted now was for her to be honest about it.

My foolish heart decided that if she could at least tell me the truth, I might be able to forgive her.

Not today. Not tomorrow. Not for a very, very long time.

But eventually, in some capacity, I could see myself moving on from this. Chalk it up to being groomed by her father. Realize that maybe she had changed since she had signed her name at the bottom of that

page.

Damn me and that fucking mate bond making me lovesick. Here I was, genuinely considering giving a traitor a second chance, and yet… I couldn’t seem to see the problem with it.
