Chapter 0070 +25 BONUS Chapter 0070 Ella POV Mr.
Black , Im sure you can understand why Im hesitant about this , my father said firmly .
Alexander sat across from my fathers desk , calm and composed , while I stood awkwardly beside my father .
The tension in the room was making me too anxious to sit down My father , who typically gave me the freedom to date whom I chose , was deeply concerned about the current situation with David and the reputation of our pack .
That concern was now being channeled into this very uncomfortable conversation with Alexander .
I understood my fathers hesitation , but the situation made me more anxious than I had anticipated .
Alexander was here , trying to convince my father that his feelings for me were genuine , when we both knew they were not- or at least , not as deep as he claimed .
Alexanders gaze remained steady as he spoke .
Of course , understand your hesitancy , Alpha Rowan .
After all , Ella has already endured more than enough .
But I assure you , my feelings for her are genuine , and I will not allow her to be harmed or disrespected any further .
We both want whats best for her .
And you believe you are whats best for her ? my father asked , his tone sharp , almost challenging .
I believe Ella deserves a man who will treat her the way she deserves to be treated , Alexander responded , his voice tightening slightly .
Not the way David treated her .
He glanced away briefly , his jaw clenched as he mentioned Davids name .
My fathers smirk revealed that he had noticed Alexanders flash of anger .
But Alexander quickly composed himself .
You certainly know all the right things to say , my father said , leaning back , his gaze scrutinizing .
But Im afraid I dont feel much confidence in you when it comes to your treatment of women .
A strange look flickered across Alexanders face as he leaned forward .

And why is that ? I believe we both know why , my father replied , his voice cool .
Its not worth dragging out the details right now .
What I want to know is , how can I trust you with my daughter ? Ella does h.er best to hide it , but shes been through a lot .
Shes vulnerable right now .
How do I know youre not just taking advantage of that ? Both of Alexanders eyebrows shot up in surprise .
For a moment , he looked genuinely shocked .
I may not have always been the most considerate person , he admitted , his voice quieter but steady , but I am not the kind of man who would exploit a womans vulnerability .
You seem offended that I would suggest such a thing , my father remarked , narrowing his eyes .
Do you not think I have a good reason to feel this way ? I know you have good reason , Alexander replied , a note of regret in his voice .
Im only disappointed in myself for having behaved in a way that would make someone like you see me as so contemptible that youd even think it .
Appearances can be deceiving , my father said , his voice cold .
David seemed like a good match too .
So tell me , Mr.
Black , bluntly what guarantee do I have that you wont hurt my daughter the way he did ? I can offer you no guarantee , Alexander said somberly , his voice steady but laced with sincerity .
Only my word , for whatever its worth to you .
Its been a long time since Ive allowed myself to be vulnerable or made my feelings for a woman known .
If Im honest , I didnt think it was something Id ever do again .
He paused , glancing in my direction before continuing .
