The Luna Queen's Rebirth (Ellie and Dominic) novel Chapter 128

Chapter 128

Vivian POV

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day.

Not because of the food-I barely touch it stick to tea mostly-but because everyone is always tired, usually stalling the day.

I sit at the table with my tea, steam curling up in front of my face, porcelain warm beneath my fingers. Chamomile. Calming. Necessary, considering the noise coming from the other side of the room.

Ellie is already arguing with my father. Right on time.

“I’m not doing this,” she snaps, standing near the counter, hair still slightly messy, eyes glaring, and bagged from little sleep. “You don’t get to decide who walks me to school!”

My father doesn’t even look fazed. He buttering his toast like this is a perfectly normal conversation to have over breakfast.

“I already have,” he says. “Lucas will be here any minute.”

I lift my cup and sip, hiding my smile.

Ellie turns on him fully now. “You wanted me with Dominic yesterday. You yelled at me for refusing him, struck me even! And now suddenly I’m supposed to be with Lucas? Which is it? Do you even hear yourself?”

“Oh, don’t be dramatic,” he replies. “This is practical. Lucas is an Alpha too. If you insist on rejecting one opportunity, then we explore another.”

“I don’t want either of them!” Ellie shouts. “Stop trying to marry me off like I’m-”

“Like you’re valuable?” he cuts in sharply. “Because you are. Whether you like it or not, your job is to wed.”

I hum softly into my tea.

Ellie’s face flushes red. “You’re meddling. You’re controlling. You’re—”

“I’m doing what’s best for this family,” he says, voice dropping into that tone that meafis the conversation is already over. “Something you clearly refuse to understand.”

Right on cue, the doorbell rings.

Perfect timing.

Ellie whips toward the door like she might bite it. I don’t move. I stay seated, composed, watching the tension stretch thin across the room like a wire about to snap.

Gotta say, this was better the reality tv.

Lucas steps inside a moment later.

He looks… uncomfortable.

Can’t say I blame him.
