His Rogue Luna is a Princess (Mia and Derek) novel Chapter 28

Chapter 28

ELENA

The night air was crisp as Logan guided Aiden and me to his car. The tension still crackled

in the air, a lingering reminder of the chaos back at the boutique. My fingers trembled slightly as I adjusted Aiden’s seatbelt, my mind replaying Derek’s accusations over and

over.

“You were already cheating on me. Faked your death because you were afraid someone would find out you were pregnant?”

The venom in his voice still echoed in my ears, and my stomach twisted at the memory. I should have known better than to expect anything else from him. It was foolish–naïve—to

have ever loved him.

“You’re quiet.” Logan’s voice cut through the haze of my thoughts as the car rolled forward. His sharp blue eyes flicked over to me briefly. “Still stuck in your head?”

I forced a small smile. “Just thinking.”

“That’s a dangerous habit,” he quipped. “Want me to fix it?”

I sighed. “If you say another bad joke, I might actually throw myself out of this car.”

Aiden giggled beside me. “Logan’s jokes aren’t that bad!”

“Thank you, Aiden,” Logan said, smirking.

“How’s your hand?” I asked, glancing at the hand that rested on the steering wheel. It looked a little swollen and one of his knuckles had split open.

“Nothing wrong with it that can’t be fixed with some ice and a kiss from a princess.”

Logan pulled his hand back to the steering wheel and his gaze darkened slightly. “You know, we could end all of this tonight.”

I frowned. “What do you mean?”

Logan leaned back in his seat, his tone deceptively light. “Announce an engagement. Say

Aiden is our child.”

I blinked, taken aback. “Logan—”

He held up a hand. “Hear me out. It would kill two birds with one store. One, it keeps Derek and Cassandra from digging into your past. Two, it secures your place in our world.”

I hesitated. “And what about you? Do you really want to tie yourself to me like that?”

He shrugged, trying to be jokey. “Could be worse.”

I shook my head, my decision already made. “No, Logan. I won’t drag you into my mess.

His smirk faltered slightly, but he nodded. “Fair enough. But you know I’d do it in a heartbeat, right?”

I smiled, gratitude swelling in my chest. “I know.”

I didn’t deserve him.

Mason insisted I dress up for the Alpha Ball. It wasn’t a request; it was an order.

“Make a statement,” he said, tossing a garment bag onto my bed. “You’re not a rogue, Elena. It’s time you remind people who you are.”

I rolled my eyes but didn’t argue. When I pulled the dress from the bag, my breath caught.

The dress hadn’t gotten any less beautiful. The dark silk flowed like water over midnight rocks, and I remembered how it clung to the soft animal of my body, the way it showed off

the deep copper of my hair.

It was regal. Powerful. A reminder of my bloodline.
