Chapter 0213 

The Briar Rose Pack was well–respected and prominent, and there was no reason for the Alpha King to disapprove of Damian’s interest in Elizabeth. But politics had a way of complicating even the simplest matters of the heart, and Elizabeth’s world was nothing if not political. 

Love, unfortunately, wasn’t always enough. The King’s approval had been absolutely necessary, and I could only imagine how nervous she’d been to ask for it. 

“We’re not here to talk about my relationship, though,” Elizabeth said, deftly changing the subject once again.” People are absolutely freaking out about your wedding venue. I even saw that you, Miss Ella Rowan, hae been talking to a reporter.” 

I couldn’t help but laugh at that. I always made an effort not to comment to the press unless I’d carefully planned my response. In this case, Alexander and I had already decided on the best way to handle inquiries, and sure enough, a reporter had reached out almost immediately. 

The article went live early this morning, and of course, Elizabeth had already seen it–she was always attuned to what was happening in the kingdom. 

“A brief statement,” I said with a shrug. “So, I gave them one.” 

“You made it sound so ordinary and dull,” Elizabeth teased. “Like having your wedding at the castle is no big deal.” 

“No, I didn’t,” I argued, laughing. 

“The original venue plan fell through. Luckily, a friend of Alexander’s was kind enough to offer his property as a replacement,” Elizabeth said, mimicking my voice with an exaggerated tone of politeness. 

We both dissolved into laughter. While my statement was technically true, I knew she had a point. Still, it didn’t matter. What mattered was that the situation hadn’t escalated beyond Amanda’s petty text messages and that Alexander’s connection had saved the day. 

Elizabeth’s excitement only added to the atmosphere of our outing, making everything feel brighter. For the first time in weeks, I felt like things were falling into place. At this moment, I couldn’t imagine what could possibly derail the happiness we’d worked so hard to create. 

Third Person POV 

“A friend of Alexander’s was kind enough…” 

“” 

David’s hand tightened around his phone as he read the article about Ella’s wedding invitations for the third time. 

Each word stoked his anger further. How did she keep managing to pull this off? No matter what obstacles he placed in lier way, Ella found a way to outmaneuver him, humiliating him in the process. 

It shouldn’t have been possible. The timeline was too short the circumstances too chaotic. Yet, not only had she secured a replacement venue, but it was a venue he could never hope to outshine. The castle. The allure of it was already causing ripples. 

His phone buzzed again with another 

The excuses were polite—plans hac essage, and his scowl deepened. More guests backing out of his wedding 

Ella’s wedding at the castle, 

changed, conflicts had arisen–but he knew the truth. They couldn’t resist 

David’s jaw clenched as he stared at the screen, fury sinun ing just beneath the surface. She shouldn’t have been able to do this. She should have just stayed in her place, followed the path he had laid out for her. Instead, she had defled him again.
