Chapter 0063 Chapter 0063 Ella POV The fact that you arent playing his game only helps you , Elizabeth assured me .
Im glad you think so , but I find it hard to believe , I said .
Elizabeth took a sip of her drink .
The waiter had cleared our plates when we finished our food .
Now , we were just sharing a few drinks as we talked .
I was surprised by how invested Elizabeth seemed in my wellbeing .
I hadnt expected to make a new friend so quickly , and I was relieved to have someone to talk to .
Everything with David was so much more difficult than I thought it would be .
I dont know if you use social media , but I do , and many people have made their support for you clear .
David is only making a fool of himself by continuing on this way .
Thats sad, I said softly .
I wish he would just move on .
want .
Oh , I hope this isnt upsetting you , Elizabeth said sympathetically .
We can change the subject if you Its just … I really do wish he would find something better to do with his time than thinking about me .
If he were this dedicated to me when we were together , we wouldnt have had these problems .
Well , that is sad to think about , Elizabeth said softly .
I hadnt considered it from that point of view .
People are posting about their support of me ? And David is responding to these posts and comments ? I asked .
This has happened recently ? Elizabeth nodded .
Show me , I said , pointing towards her phone .
I want to see what hes saying Elizabeth unlocked her phone and opened one of her apps .
If youre sure , she said , though it might be upsetting .
Hes not exactly being nice .
I took the phone from her and didnt have to scroll far before I saw a post from David that was made less than an hour ago .
Your gossip and slander mean nothing to me .
Ella and I are meant to be together .
Anyone who thinks they can win her away from me is a fool .
Win me away from him ? I said in confusion as I handed Elizabeths phone back to her .
Whats he talking about ? Elizabeth glanced down at the post , then shrugged .
People have been defending you , including some other single men .
I dont think its anything especially passionate certainly nothing that should make David so obviously jealous .
People are simply saying that you deserve better .
Its strange , I said .
I dont think its very strange , Elizabeth said .
After all , hes made a spectacle of himself recently .
When people decide that they want public attention , they must also be prepared for that attention to be negative .
Its inevitable that people will find something to criticize .
David should know better .
You sound like you speak from experience , I said .
Elizabeth smiled awkwardly .
I do , she admitted .
After all , I am the only child of the Alpha King .
People have 1/3 +25 BONUS D Chapter 0063 many things to say about me , and a lot of the time , its not very nice .
Of course , most never be so bold as to say it to my face , but I hear them nonetheless .
That must be so stressful , I said sympathetically .
I had heard plenty of rumors about Elizabeth .
Most of them had to do with her desire to take over as alpha of her pack , a position that her fathers beta currently filled .
Thats what drew me to you in the first place , Elizabeth said .
You handled the harsh rumors about your woll so well .
I knew that you must be a strong woman , just like me , and I thought that we would get along .
I think you were right , I said with a smile .
It seems to me we get along wonderfully .
I dont have a lot of friends , Elizabeth admitted .
Its difficult to become close to people when it seems that everyone is constantly watching me and waiting for me to make a mistake .
I would never judge you for a mistake , I said .
After all , regardless of your status , you are still a person .
You deserve to be treated with respect and kindness .
I wish more people believed like you do , she said .
Im curious about one thing .

Whats that ? Elizabeth asked .
You can ask me anything Well , why are you following the rumors about me online if you know that rumors and gossip can be so hurtful ? Its important to know what public opinion is on certain matters , Elizabeth said .
It helps to understand how to handle people and what issues might arise in the future .
I see , I said .
She smirked slightly and took another sip of her drink .
Besides , I find it amusing .
People have started to speculate about who might be romantically interested in you now that youve rejected David .
My eyes went wide with surprise at this .
Are people really talking about that ? I asked .
Oh yes , Elizabeth said , unlocking her phone and scrolling There are even lists .
Thats ridiculous , I said dismissively .
Why would people waste their time making lists of who they think might be interested in me ? Elizabeth shrugged .
I dont know why people do it ; I just know that they have .
Would you like to hear some of the names ? she asked with a mischievous grin .
..
My words trailed off as I thought about it .
I was strangely curious about what people might be saying I hadnt considered that an actual relationship might follow my breakup with David .
After all , Id already planned to follow through with my fake relationship with Alexander .
I couldnt deny that I was curious about who else might genuinely like me .
Ill take your hesitation as a yes , Elizabeth said .
Here are the top three names I keep seeing : Damian Rose , the oldest son of the Briar Rose Alpha ; Jonathan Oak of the Red Oak Pack ; and Alexander Black .
Alexander ?! I said in shock .
I put my hand over my mouth after my outburst .
I hadnt meant to be so loud , but I was genuinely shocked that people would speculate about Alexander being interested in me .
Chapter 0063 +25 BONUS Elizabeth smiled .
It seems that his wedding gift to you has gotten quite a bit of attention .
I think people were asking him if he intended to take the gift back after the wedding was called off , and he said that he wished for you .
to keep it and that you deserved to have fine things .
People have read a lot into that statement .
I hadnt heard anything about that , I said .
Thats so kind of him .
Hes been very kind to you , it seems , Elizabeth said with a smile .
And he isnt generally a very warm person , so people have begun to talk .
Thats going to make David so angry , I muttered .
He hates Alexander .
Well , if David didnt want another man to pursue you , he should have treated you better , Elizabeth said dismissively .
And I agree with Alexander you do deserve fine things .
Thank you , I said softly .
I knew that Alexander was speaking highly of me to set the stage for our eventual relationship , but I still found his words touching and Elizabeths as well .
It warmed me to know that I had people , besides my parents , who genuinely cared for me .
It gave me hope that everything I was going through with David and Amanda would be worth it in the end .
It made me believe that I may be able to have a happy future, even without David .
My happy thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of my phone .
I looked at the screen , and a cold feeling came over me .
It was my father
