The Luna Queen's Rebirth (Ellie and Dominic) novel Chapter 124

Chapter 124

“So stubborn,” his mother says fondly. “Always has been.”

I wonder if she realizes how familiar that word sounds to me now.

I glance at Dom, he glances at me, and we both look away.

Dessert arrives.

One bowl.

Two spoons.

They place it between us with unmistakable intent.

“Share,” his mother says lightly. “It builds closeness.”

My stomach knots.

Dominic doesn’t reach for his spoon. Neither do I.

“I… don’t think this is appropriate,” I say carefully.

His father chuckles. “You’re fated mates, Ellie. This is nothing.”

Nothing.

I’m telling you, it’s not.

Dominic’s knee shifts, barely brushing mine, and I pull back instinctively. The movement doesn’t go

unnoticed.

Everything feels too hot all at once.

His mother tilts her head. “You’ll grow used to it.”

That’s when it sinks in.

This isn’t dinner.

It’s rehearsal.

“I… don’t think I will.” I say, fainting timid.

“You’re young, you’ll understand in time.” His father nods. “Eat. Both of you.”
