+25 BONUS Chapter 0003 Chapter 0003 Ella POV I could feel everyone staring at me in shock at my words .
I couldnt blame them ; it wasnt the kind of confident statement I would have made before .
But it was true now would never allow David to become the Alpha of my familys pack in this life .
I would be the one to take over for my father .
What suddenly changed your mind ? Davids father said .
You always refuse to learn how to be an Alpha .
Now you know nothing about leading a pack .
Whats wrong with letting David help you? The first time this happened , I was too naïve .
My father always spoiled me , thinking I could spend another few years being his innocent little girl , so I didnt know anything about what it took to run a pack .
Thats why all the power was handed over to David so easily when my father died .
But I wanted my pack to survive and thrive so badly after my fathers death , so I learned hard to take care of a pack as Davids luna .
I had to learn because it was all too much for David to handle on his own .
In fact , now that I thought about it , almost every serious issue that ever faced our pack I was the one to solve .

I think its funny you would question my ability to lead when your pack is in severe financial crisis under your lead , I said , smiling at him , Your pack income relies too much on your farmers , but you have no risk management .
You spent lavishly and wasted the taxes you collected from your farmers during the last few years , now you dont have enough money to make up for the crops that were lost this harsh winter .
Davids father looked like he wanted to yell , but I continued speaking .
Meanwhile our pack is thriving .
Weve made sure that we have enough money put away to get us through any emergency , and we ensure that the funds our people need to do their jobs jobs that keep our pack safe and healthy are always available to them .
My father was nodding approvingly at my words .
We know our people .
We know when theyre struggling , and we know that when we help them through their struggles , it makes our pack stronger .
Thats a lesson you would do well to learn , I added .
Everyone was staring at me with obvious surprise , but I kept my head held high and proud .
I waited for Davids father to respond , but he didnt say a word .
Instead , he grabbed his wife , Lily , by the arm , and the two of them hurried out of the house .
David stepped in front of me , and I could see a pained expression on his face .
What is going on ? he asked .
Why are you embarrassing me like this ? Im not trying to embarrass you , I said honestly .
I just think its important for me to learn to lead my own .
pack .
After all , youll want my help once were married , wont you ? I could tell that he was seriously considering my words .
Clearly , I wouldnt let him win the Alpha King selection this time .
But from his current point of view , he could still use my support as a strong Alpha heir to win the selection .
He could promote himself by showing our unified strength that would win a lot of people over .
Im sorry for how poorly things have gone today , I said , putting one hand against my temple .
Im not feeling well .
I need to rest .
1/3 +25 BONUS Chapter 0003 Its all just been a lot .
I desperately needed some alone time to sort out my plans .
Are you sick ? Amanda asked .
Its only a headache, I replied .
Ill make you some tea , my mother said as she left the room .
My father patted me on the shoulder supportively , then followed her out , leaving just David , Amanda , and malone .
I should just go up to my room , I said , Im sure Ill feel better after a little rest .
Ill come with you , Amanda said .
I dont want you to stumble on the stairs .
I forced myself to smile at her .
Im fine , I insisted .
Well both walk you to your room , David said .
I knew I wouldnt be able to convince them otherwise , so I had to agree .
David kept his hand on my back as we walked up the stairs , and I found myself disgusted by his touch .
When we reached my room , I went over and sat on my bed .
Im fine now , I said .
Thank you .
David looked hesitant but didnt try to argue further .
Ill talk to you soon , he said as he stepped out and closed the door .
Now that David and Amanda were alone , they might be discussing something useful .
I stood up and rushed to the door , pressing my ear against the wood to listen .
I dont know whats going on with her , Amanda said .
None of that was the way I imagined it , David replied .
Not exactly the romantic proposal I had planned .
I frowned as I listened to their idle talk and walked back to my bed .
That was when I realized I had a major problem .
Whether they were having an affair now or not , they were being careful around me .
I was never going to catch them easily before the wedding .
But I had to expose them .
It was the only way I was going to get out of this engagement without putting my pack at risk .
I wasnt going to be able to do it alone .
I couldnt go to my mother and father about this ; they would never believe my story .
Who could I possibly rely on ? My phone beeped in my pocket .
When I unlocked it , I saw a news alert .
I clicked on it , and the image of a familiar handsome man popped up on my screen .
I recognized Alpha Alexander immediately .
He had been Davids biggest rival for the Alpha King election .
He was young , handsome , and popular with the ladies .
The only reason David had stood a chance against him was because of his marriage to me .
With our packs merged , we had the largest territory , and that gave him power .
Without our marriage , theres no way David could win , and Alexander would probably become the Alpha King .
He had a lot to gain from my marriage falling apart .
Would it be possible to get him to help me take David down Alexander was known for being a little unserious in his personal life .
I vaguely remembered some scandal towards the end of the campaign for Alpha King .
It all helped David in the final debate and was probably key to him 2/3 Chapter 0003 winning .
