#Chapter 218: Iron Fang

Alexander POV The office door burst open, and Ella rushed in, barreling straight into me and collapsing into my arms. I wrapped my arms tightly around her, still seated in my chair. “What the hell is going on?” I asked, my voice a mix of concern and confusion. August, who had been sitting across from me, looked more alarmed than I’d ever seen him. He stood, rushing to close the door behind her. “I just met with Elizabeth,” Ella said frantically, her voice trembling. “We’re in trouble.” “What do you mean?” I asked, my concern growing. What could she have told her that would result in this kind of reaction? She looked back at the door, then shakily got to her feet, stumbling slightly. “Ella, breathe for me,” I instructed, catching her before she could fall. I held her steady, my mind racing. She was the second person to run to me like this in just a couple of days. Things were spiraling out of control, and I was losing my grip on the situation.
