StartNovelChapter 0336 Chapter 0336 Ella POV I woke up with my head pressed against Alexander's chest, his arms wrapped securely around me. The warmth of his embrace should have been comforting, but it did nothing to calm the chaos of my waking.
Both our phones were ringing, and someone was pounding on the apartment door.
Alexander pressed a quick kiss to the top of my head before gracefully pulling away. I watched as he grabbed a pair of pants from the bedroom floor, pulling them on as he rushed out to answer the door.
I reached blindly for my phone on the nightstand, answering without checking the caller ID.

Alarm jolted through me. I scrambled out of bed, yanking on my bathrobe and tying it tightly as I hurried toward the commotion.
"What is it? What's wrong?" I demanded into the phone.
"They released him-my father, he-" "How could this happen?!" Alexander's voice thundered.
I stepped into the living room to find August standing ashen-faced, while Alexander paced like a caged predator, his entire body coiled with restrained fury.
A knot of dread twisted in my stomach.
"What?" I choked out. "Your father did what?" "Archer's been released from custody," Elizabeth said.
"What?!" I shouted. "Why?" "There wasn't enough evidence to hold him." "Amanda cforward last night," August interjected, drawing my attention to him. His voice was tight, controlled, but I could see the rage simmering beneath the surface. "I don't know what she told the king to convince him, but Archer arrived hearly this morning.
A wave of helplessness crashed over me. "How is this happening?" "I'm so sorry," Elizabeth whispered, her voice trembling. "I'm so, so sorry.' I turned to Alexander, only to find his eyes burning with something dangerously close to madness. He took a sharp breath, visibly forcing himself to remain in control, but I could see it-the battle raging beneath his skin.
I thought of what he had once toldabout the wolf's instincts becoming his own. Right now, his wolf wanted violence, and Alexander was doing everything in his power to hold it back.
I stepped closer to him. "What do we do?" He exhaled harshly, his jaw clenching as he cast a glance at August. "I don't know," he admitted. "This never should have happened." Turning back to the phone, I gripped it tighter. "Elizabeth, s anyone advising your father? He's making decisions Chapter 0336 that seem- 33 "Reckless," Alexander finished, his voice laced with fury.

Elizabeth hesitated. "I don't know," cowith she said finally. "I've been out with Damien, preparing for our engagement announcement. I don't know what's been happening at home, but... something is wrong." "You have to find out for us," I said, keeping my voice as calm as possible. "This doesn't seem right. Someone must be influencing your father." "Manipulating him," Alexander corrected. "Let's stop beating around the bush and be honest here." He gavea pointed look, and I hesitated before putting the call on speaker so Elizabeth could hear him clearly. "Alexander and August are here," I said. "I've got you on speaker." "Okay," Elizabeth replied hesitantly, her voice tight with emotion.
"I know this is difficult for you to hear," Alexander said, his voice carrying that deep, dangerous edge that always remindedof his other side. "But Ella's life is at risk.
Someone is trying to kill her." "So the accident last night-"
"Wasn't an accident," Alexander interrupted. "I know you're smart, Elizabeth. I know you understand what's happening better than most. And Ella isn't the only one in danger. If these people aren't stopped, more lives will be at risk." Silence stretched across the line before Elizabeth finally spoke. "I know... but I don't know what to do." Chapter 0337 Chapter 0337
