A Warrior's Second Chance (Faye and Alexander) novel Chapter 403

Chapter 403

FAYE

I didn’t wait before opening the message.

My thumb tapped against the screen, and the text came up almost immediately.

It was… simple.

Alexander had gone to see Helen.

And they were coming back together.

I stared at the words for a moment, reading them again like I had missed something the first time.

He went out to see his mother.

Not for work.

Not for anything official.

Just… her.

That alone was enough to make my brows pull together slightly.

Alexander wasn’t that type.

He didn’t just go to his mother’s house to check on her. He barely called, and from what I had seen, it

worked for both of them. Their distance wasn’t loud–it was just… there.

And after everything that had happened recently—

After the clash about Shadowfang… the one that didn’t seem to fade no matter how much time passed-

Things had only gotten worse.

So

hed back in the chair, my grip tightening just a little around the phone.

That kind of agreement didn’t just happen between them.

Not without something deep behind it.

The question wasn’t just why.

It was who.

+25 Points

Who convinced who?

Because I couldn’t picture either of them giving in easily.

My thoughts shifted, narrowing in on one possibility.

The realization settled quietly

The only reason Alexander would go to her out with such urgency-

The only reason he would break that distance like that-

Would be me.

My chest tightened slightly.

Did he..?

Did he go behind me to tell her?

About this.

About what’s been happening to me.

Again.

The thought didn’t sit well.

Not at all.

I exhaled slowly, forcing my shoulders to relax as I shook my head slightly.

No.

I wasn’t doing this.

I wasn’t about to start spiraling over something I didn’t even know for sure.

I could feel it already–that shift in my mind, that pressure building the more I tried to think too deeply

about it.

And I knew better now.

That was all it took.

One wrong turn in my thoughts, and everything else would follow.

My body.

My control.

Everything.

So I let it go.

Or at least… I tried to.

Chapter 403

A knock on the door broke through my thoughts before they could go any further.

“Come in,” I called out, my voice steadier than I felt.

The door opened, and Roman stepped in, holding a small tube in his hand.

“The ointment,” he said, lifting it slightly as he walked toward me. “It should help with the irritation.”

I nodded, placing my phone down on the table without thinking too much about it.

“Thanks,” I said.

I paused, then added, “Umm, I’m sorry about…”

“It’s alright, Luna. Don’t worry about it,” Roman said.

He moved closer, and without making it a big deal, he took my hand carefully–like he was making sure

not to trigger anything else.

I had stayed. I had watched over her. I had followed the instruction exactly as it was given. I kept an eye

And nothing had gone wrong.

Nothing serious.

My mouth twitched faintly at that.

I leaned just a little closer to the window, my curiosity pulling at my attention as I tried to get a better look.

She moved beside him easily, like she belonged there.

Which meant she wasn’t just anyone.

I studied her for a second longer, trying to place her–trying to figure out who she could be–but nothing came immediately.

My thoughts were interrupted by movement behind me.

I turned slightly.

Luna Faye was already on her feet, heading toward the door without hesitation.
