The Luna Queen's Rebirth (Ellie and Dominic) novel Chapter 158

Chapter 158

This isn’t a trap.

Every single thing I asked for is here. And more.

I exhale and finally say it, half joking, ha stunned. “You still didn’t include anything for yourself.”

He pauses.

Then he leans back slightly, arms folding as he studies me with something unreadable in his eyes. “Didn’t know that was an option.”

“That’s not an answer.”

“It is to me.”

I tilt my head. “So you just… give me everything and ask for nothing?”

A corner of his mouth lifts. “I’m getting something.”

“Oh?” I arch a brow. “Enlighten me.”

“You alive,” he says simply.

The air shifts.

I look back down at the contract because suddenly meeting his eyes feels like too much. My throat feels tight in a way I don’t want to unpack yet.

“You’re bad at this,” I mutter.

“At contracts?”

“At pretending you don’t care.”

He exhales through his nose. “Don’t push it.”

I sign anyway.

The pen scratches my name across the page, and when I hand it back, my fingers brush his.

Neither of us pulls away right away.

The silence stretches.

I tuck a strand of hair behind my ear, nerves fluttering low in my chest. “So,” I say carefully. “The bond. How do I…acept it? Will there be like, magic dust? Fireworks?”

He smirks, leaning back. “You just have to accept it out loud.”

I open my mouth-

And his hand gently covers it.

My breath stutters.

“BUL, my father warned me,” he says softly. “Whe you accept a rejected bond, the sudden surge might be… intense. For both of us.”

I nod beneath his palm, heart pounding.

“If something happens,” I whisper once his hand drops, holding it tight. “It just…doesn’t count. Right? If it’s just the bond making us feel that way

He pauses, searching my face. Then he nods. “Doesn’t count.”

I swallow.

Then I go quiet.

“It feels weird to just… say it.”

He studies me for a moment, then says quietly, “Then don’t.”

Before I can ask what he means, he leans in and kisses me.

His hand lacing up the hair behind my neck pulling me to him.
