ReadGoodChapter 0090 Ella POV Alexander and I left his pack's headquarters through the back entrance, slipping directly into his car. He had the curious habit of driving himself around, which I found oddly endearing. With so many staff members constantly surrounding him, driving was probably one of the few moments he could truly be alone.
Tonight, he was drivinghome, ensuring I made it safely to my parents' house. It was part of the agreement he had with my father-that he was responsible for my protection whenever I was with him. And Alexander seemed to take that responsibility very seriously.
"Thank you," he said as we pulled away from the building. I appreciate you standing by me." "Of course," I replied automatically. "It would look bad if I wasn't there. It would only raise more questions." "I know it's all for appearances," he said, glancing my way, "but I do truly appreciate the support. I hide it well, but I hate making statements like that." "Really?" I asked, surprised. "It seems to cso naturally to you. I never would have guessed." After a moment of silence, Alexander's voice softened. "I'm sorry the reporters upset you. I made it clear they weren't supposed to direct any questions to you. I promise, there will be consequences for their behavior." "That's not necessary," I said quietly. “I was just caught off guard, that's all." "I won't have you subjected to their rude questions because of me," he insisted, his grip tightening on the wheel. After that, silence settled between us. The drive back to my parents' hwas long, givingplenty of tto think.
Alexander's protective behavior-it didn't feel like it was just for show. Of course, I couldn't be certain, but it seemed as though he was genuinely worried about something happening to me.

I wondered if I was projecting my own paranoia onto him. David and Amanda were incredibly dangerous, and things had been suspiciously quiet. Too quiet.
They had to be planning something, but I had no idea what it could be. Worse, there was still the looming threat of a spy within my own pack. I hadn't found any clues about who it might be, which meant I could never let my guard. down.
Except when I was with Alexander. He didn't know the full truth, but he knew enough, and I didn't feel the need to constantly be on alert when I was with him. It was nice relaxing in a way that I hadn't felt in a long time.
Alexander pulled up in front of my parents' house and put the car in park. He turned to me, his expression earnest. "Thank you," he said quietly.
"You're welcome," I replied.
"If you need anything at all, just letknow. And if you get any more messages..." His voice trailed off, but I nodded. I knew if I heard from any more of his exes, I'd pass the information along to him.
"Stay safe, Ella. We'll talk soon." 1 I smiled as I opened the car door. "I'll hold you to that." +25 BONUS Chapter 0090 Alexander returned the smile, softer than I'd ever seen from him. There was a vulnerability there that I hadn't noticed before. Then I stepped out, closed the door behind the, and walked into the house.
Inside, both of my parents were sitting on the couch, their expressions heavy with concern. The atmosphere in the room shifted immediately, and I felt a weight settle in my chest. Slowly, I made my way to the chair across from them and sat down.
"What's wrong?" I asked, my voice quieter than I intended.

"Are you sure all these women are wrong?" my mother asked. “Sof their accusations are very concerning." I stared at her in silence for a moment, unsure how to respond. Then I felt my expression harden.
"I believe Alexander," I said firmly.
"He's admitted to his mistakes, but sof these women are fiars. I don't know what their motivation is, but they're painting him as a monster and he isn't."
"I think his statement was a good one," my father said. "I believejt\Will help, but it won't clear his nEn entirely." "I know," I admitted. "There will always be people who are bothered by his reputation and his past indiscretions."
I knew it was going to hurt his chances against David, making it an even tighter race for King. But that was in the future. For now, I felt Alexander was handling the situation well, and there was still plenty of tfor him to find a way to win people back to his side. Chapter 0011
