Novel1Chapter 0124 Ella POV My father stood suddenly. "Alexander, I'd like to speak to you privately for a moment," he said seriously.
I started to protest, but Alexander touched my hand softly. I looked at him questioningly, and he nodded slightly. Seeing that he felt comfortable going, I didn't argue, though it madeuncomfortable.
I watched as Alexander stood and left the room with my father, leaving my mother andalone. My mother turned and gripped my hand, her look of concern unmasked now that we were alone.

"Yes," I replied. "Alexander took good care of me." "We're going to find a way to make David pay for what he's done," she assured me.
I tried to smile, though I could feel it was strained. "I know... eventually we will," I replied. “But I have a feeling it's going to take a long time." My mother reached for her phone and unlocked it, then handed it to me. I glanced down to see she had pulled up a news website. An article had already been posted, filled with rumors about the incident at the hotel.
The report included accounts from people who had seen David fleeing, bloodied and shirtless. Others had seenin distress, being dragged by a strange man, and later, being cradled by Alexander as we left.
I scrolled through the article, my eyes skimming over the words as my heart rate quickened. At the end, there was a statement from David.
"How has he commented on this already?" I muttered.
"He wanted to get ahead of the story, I suppose," my mother replied. “It's bold of him to make such a strong denial before he even knows what evidence there is against him.” I scoffed as I read David's words: "I understand why people might jump to the conclusion that I was the one seen at the hotel with Ella. But it seems she simply has a type-that wasn't me, just someone who looks similar. I suggest people stop prying into Ella's private life and speculating about who she's sneaking around with." The reporter had then asked David if he had any proof of his alibi.
"I was in my own packlands at an event," he had responded. "There are plenty of people who sawthere, so it's really pointless to make these accusations." "It's outrageous," my mother said, clearly angry. "He's going to pay for everything he's put you through, including what he's done to your wolf. What makes him think he can get away with this?" "He's gotten away with it until now," I pointed out.

I hoped she was right.
Alexander POV "I appreciate the difficult situation you found yourself in," Alpha Roman said as soon as the office door closed. " But I want you to lookin the eye and tellthat you did not take advantage of my daughter." 1/2 +25 BONUS Chapter 0124 My jaw clenched as I fought back the urge to respond angrily. I reminded myself that he was only concerned for Ella, and that she had been through far too much recently. He must be at the end of his rope, trying so hard to protect her from a man who kept slipping through his grip "I ensured that Ella was safe. I would never do anything without her consent," I replied as calmly as I could.
He sighed, his frustration evident. "I want to trust you," he admitted, "but I find myself questioning my judgment in light of everything that's happened." "I understand why you'd feel that way," I said, feeling a twinge of sympathy for him. By all accounts, the Rowanwood pack was respectable, handling matters strictly by the book. Dealing with someone as vile as David Lake must have been especially challenging for them.
I was more accustomed to dealing with that kind of scum, which madebetter equipped to protect Ella. Still had failed to keep her entirely out of David's reach-a mistake I wouldn't make so lightly again.
