Chapter 243
Ella
The maid’s face went as white as a sheet, mouth opening and closing wordlessly as she tried and failed to come
up with a response to my accusation.
Alexander turned to me with a curious expression on his face. “Is that true? She made you sleep on the floor last
night?”
I nodded. “Yes. She said it was, and I quote, “her room, her rules“. I’d either need to find another room to sleep
in or get used to sleeping with the rats. I didn’t want to cause any trouble, so I obeyed and took the floor.”
Murmurs rippled throughout the room. The maid’s face went from white to beet red. Alexander raised his hand
to silence the whispers and looked at the maid. The guilty expression on her face revealed everything. Alexander crossed his arms. “That room has two bunks for a reason. Why did you make the new nanny sleep on the floor?”
“But I didn’t-”
“Tell me the truth.”
Alexander’s Alpha Voice seeped into every word. The air seemed to turn thick with his authority, causing every
head in the room–even mine–to tilt and expose the neck. My body felt like it wasn’t mine, as if an invisible
hand were forcing my head to tilt.
I ground my teeth together, trying but failing to resist the urge to submit. This felt wrong on so many levels.
Was this how Gabriel felt when I used my Luna Voice on him again and again? Like a puppet, unable to fight the strings being held by his master?
I knew I shouldn’t feel guilty over using my Luna Voice on Gabriel, but right now… It wasn’t easy not to. Maybe
I had abused my power by using it so often. Especially when I forced him to stay silent throughout my family’s
party.
Finally, trembling, the maid admitted meekly, “Y–Yes, Alpha. It’s true. I made the new nanny sleep on the floor because I was angry that I was forced to share a room with someone I don’t even know.”
Alexander held the maid’s gaze for a moment longer, causing her to tremble and look down at her hands. Then, all at once, his power receded. The force of it suddenly ripping from the room–like a tidal wave being sucked back into the ocean–was so great that I had to grip the table next to me to stay upright.

Finally, I could breathe again. I decided then and there that if I ever somehow managed to become Luna again, however unlikely that may be, that I would only use my Luna Voice if absolutely necessary.
