Chapter 0011 Chapter 0011 Ella POV Over the next few days , I looked into all of the Gammas we had talked about before , and I found absolutely no indication that any of them were disloyal , which honestly left me feeling a little more nervous .
Whoever the traitor was , they were hiding well .
I also periodically checked my messages from Alexander , but after his thanks , I hadnt received anything It was almost getting me anxious .
Have I picked the wrongly ? It was late , and I was already showered and in my pajamas .
should have been lying down and trying to get some rest , but I just couldnt quiet my mind .
I pulled my phone out and impulsively sent a quick message to Alexander .
Any news ? I asked .
A moment later , my phone started to ring .
It was a video call from Alexander ..
Before I could put much thought into it , I accepted the call When I saw myself on the screen , I realized that I was wearing my bright yellow bunny print pajamas , a gift from Amanda Alexander laughed immediately , and I could feel my face heating up with embarrassment .
Dont laugh at me , I said defensively .
I wasnt expecting a video call , or I wouldnt be dressed like this .
Sorry , he said .
I was just finishing up a video meeting .
Since it seemed you wanted to talk , I thought this would be easier and more efficient .
He was wearing a dark suit and had his glasses on , which made him look very professional and somehow even more attractive .
I needed to keep myself focused , not let my embarrassment or his good looks take me off track .
We had far more important things to deal with .
How are things going in the investigation ? I asked I have to hand it to David hes very good at hiding things , Alexander said .
None of my resources have provided any solid proof just yet , but I think I have a way around it .
Well need to have a discussion about it face to- -face .
We cant meet in public , I pointed out .
That would raise Davids suspicions .
Alexander was his biggest rival , and as far as anyone knew had no previous acquaintances with Alexander .
If we were going to talk in person, we would have to keep it secret .
Maybe we can meet during the council , I suggested .
Youre planning to attend the Alpha Council ? he said with surprise , then paused thoughtfully .
Good .
Since youre about to become my Luna , you should be prepared .
Its about more than becoming anyones Luna , I said calmly .
I plan to become the Alpha of my own pack .
I told you that before .
Ill agree to any terms except for giving up my packs inheritance rights .
Alexander raised his eyebrow at me but nodded approving Ill see you at the council , he said , and then the call I stared at the screen for a few moments , thinking about how much everything had changed .
I liked that I could talk so easily with Alexander .
I didnt ev mind that he laughed at me .
I felt confident that our deal was going to help me protect iny faintly , and I knew that what I was offering him would be enough to make Jora stick wit +25 BONUS Chapter 0011 I was still nervous about the meeting , but I found it surprisingly easy to fall asleep after our conversation .
The next morning seemed like a blur .
I dressed in my new green suit and skirt , pinning my hair up carefully to keep it neat and out of the way .
Then my father and I headed to the council meeting .
I expected to see a lot of familiar faces there , as I knew that David would be attending with his father , and Amanda and some of her siblings would likely be there as well .
I wasnt looking forward to seeing them , but I knew that I would have to try to appear as normal as possible , When we arrived , there were already a lot of people in the lobby of the building , talking and greeting each other as they waited for the official meeting to begin .
1 could feel people turning to look and stare at me as I walked confidently beside my father .
Everyone could tell that there was something different about me ; I just hoped that it didnt seem too different .
Who is this plain , unfamiliar person with you ? I heard Amandas voice call out jokingly as she approached us .
Why arent you wearing the dress ? Im just trying to change my vibe , I said with a smile .

I think since Im getting married , its time to give up childish things .
She glared at me , but I ignored it.- It seemed we had arrived just in time because I barely had time to reply to Amanda before people started moving into the meeting room .
I saw David walk in with his father , and a few seconds later , Alexander walked in alone .
His father had passed away some time ago , and he never brought anyone with him to these meetings ..
As we made our way towards the entrance , several people stopped to compliment my new look and praise me for accompanying my father .
I could see a proud smile on my fathers face as he accepted the compliments and greetings .
When we were alone for a moment , I turned to him .
Im glad that I can finally make you proud , I said .
My father shook his head slightly .
Ive always been proud of you , he said sincerely .
I felt tears sting my eyes , but I forced myself to hold them back .
My father put one arm around me in a quick hug , and I thanked the goddess again that she had given me this second chance .
I had missed him so much .
We walked in together , and everyone was seated around a long rectangular table .
The official words were said to start the meeting .
The Alpha King was sitting at the head of the table with a stern look on his face .
What business should we begin with ? he asked .
Then Davids father stood and fixed his eyes on me .
I hadnt actually spoken to him since I had embarrassed him on the day of the proposal , and I was sure that he was still angry about it and wanted some kind of revenge ..
I prepared myself for whatever he might say .
canice of you to join us , Ella , he said , looking at me wi a slight smirk .
I thought we could start the on today by examining the question of whether or ot we should open travel routes with the North .
Tim to me expectantly .
It was a very difficult uestion , one that had been a subject of debate for a in the South He had put me on the spot delerately hoping that I wouldnt have a good answer Chapter ! DOTT +25 BONUS I understood immediately what he was trying to do .
He wanted to make me look foolish so that I would be forced to hand over control to David .
He wanted the other Alphas and Lunas to think that I wasnt capable on my own .
But he was wrong .
