Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel Chapter 348

Chapter 0348 

Third Person POV 

Elizabeth descended into the basement of her house, a heavy weight pressing against her chest. She had no idea what was going on with her father or why he was acting as he was, but she knew it was dangerous. 

He didn’t seem to understand how serious the situation was. Someone was scheming in the Roguelands. Their motives were unclear, but one thing was certain–they threatened her family. 

This was supposed to be a happy time in her life. She was engaged to an amazing man. Her father was finally retiring, which meant she might actually get some privacy for once. She should be celebrating. 

Instead, she found herself sleepless, trapped in the middle of a game she didn’t understand. 

This wasn’t her world. She knew little about the criminal mind or what the Rogues were after. 

She needed insight–desperately. And there was only one person who might have it. 

Dr. Brianna McIntyre. 

The woman was being held in the cells beneath the house. Normally, the guards would never allow Elizabeth to visit her alone, especially since David was also being held in a separate room down there. 

They’d deem it too dangerous. 

But tonight, luck–or perhaps foolishness–was on her side. The head guard on duty was a childhood friend. He had been clearly uncomfortable with her request, but eventually, he had relented. 

So here she was. Sneaking into her own basement in the dead of night. 

The key felt cold in her palm as she stepped toward the door. The guards stationed at the end of the hall deliberately turned their eyes away, pretending not to see her. 

Elizabeth inhaled deeply, steadying herself, then unlocked the door and stepped inside. 

The cell was small but comfortable–more than a prisoner in her father’s custody deserved. A single bed, a desk, a chair. A small door leading to a private bathroom. 

Dr. McIntyre sat up from the bed, her expression darkening with distaste. 

“What do you want?” she asked. 

Elizabeth hesitated for only a moment. “To talk.” 

“Talk to yourself,” Dr. McIntyre snapped. “I have nothing to say to you.” 

“What good will ignoring me do?” Elizabeth demanded, stepping further into the room. “You’re already locked up here. Refusing to cooperate will only-” 

“You think I don’t know how much trouble I’m in?” The doctor’s glare was sharp enough to cut. “When I agreed to help bring those people down, I knew I could end up dead myself.” 

“Then why do it?” 

Dr. McIntyre studied her for a long moment, as if searching for something in Elizabeth’s face. Whatever it was, she seemed to find it. 

The hatred in her expression melted into something else. Something hollow.

“I wanted revenge,” she admitted quietly. “But I realize now that was foolish. No amount of hurting you or the other alpha brats is going to bring my parents back.” 

Elizabeth stiffened. “Bring them back?” 

Dr. McIntyre’s voice was numb. “They’re dead. They died in exile.”
