+25 BONUS Chapter 0057 Ella POV Its been a long day , my father said sternly .
Ella needs to rest .
It was clear that David had more he wanted to say , but he wasnt going to argue with my father in public .
He nodded his head mutely and stepped aside .
My father put his arm around my shoulders and led me quiddy away from the crowd of onlookers .
Before I knew it , we were in the car and heading home .
My father sat in the seat beside me with a look of concentration on his face .
I still felt shaken by what had happened .
I wasnt sure what to do or even what to think .
I wanted to say something to my father to take away his stress , but there was nothing that I could think of .
My phone started to ring .

Without thinking , I pulled it out of my pocket .
It was Alexander calling .
The contact name made me fumble , nearly dropping my phone .
I quickly muted my screen to avoid my father seeing it.
If he saw that my flance was calling me he would think it was David .
That would cause nothing but trouble .
I needed to change the contact name when I had a chance .
Still , I couldnt just make it Alexander .
I still wasnt ready for people to know that I was connected with him .
I would have to think of something My father looked at me curiously .
Arent you going to answer the phone ? he asked .
I shook my head .
No , Ill talk to them later .
He shrugged .
When we arrived at the house , my mother was waiting at the door .
It was clear that she had already been informed about what happened .
I hadnt heard my father call her , but it was possible they had been texting .
I had been so lost in thought that I hadnt been paying much attention to what he was doing .
She rushed forward and pulled me into a hug .
I hugged her back tightly .
Im okay , mom , I assured her .
The capital is increasingly dangerous , it seems , my mother said as she led us into the living room .
It seems that the only crime in the capital is aimed at our daughter , my father replied bitterly .
It also seems that youve made a determined enemy , my mother agreed , looking at me .
I believe that whoever arranged for that rogue to attack you today is the same one who arranged for our kidnapping .
She sat on the couch , and my father joined her .
I sat on the chair across from them ..
Youre probably right , I replied , but the question is who and what could they possibly hope to gain from it ? Do you believe Davids explanation for today ? she asked .
That it was all Amandas doing ? I dont know , I said .
It would be incredibly foolish for her to have done something like this , but I believe that we both know desperation can push people to do foolish things , my father said .
I find it strange that Amanda could be behind these attacks my mother said .
How would she have the money to pay these rogues to take such a risk as attacking the daughter of an alpha ? And how would she have contact with them ? I felt my eyes go wide at her words .
I had never thought about how Amanda could be pulling off these attacks .
She 1/2 +25 BONUS Chapter 0057 might be even more dangerous than I had realized .
The rogue activity in the kingdom has increased in the past years , my father said , but as far as I know , the Gray River pack has no connection to rogues .
They have such a small territory , I dont see what the benefit to the rogues would be in partnering with them .
I very much doubt that Amandas parents would have any involvement in this, my mother said .
They are very conflict averse and content to manage their pack without aspiring to gain more power .
I agree , he replied .
It seems to me that if Amanda is doing this , she has somehow found a way to do it on her OWIL But what can we do to stay safe ? I asked .
