The Luna Queen's Rebirth (Ellie and Dominic) novel Chapter 208

Chapter 208

“What kind of a questions that?” Dominic snorted.

I shrugged. “I dunno. I’m curious, that’s all.” I paused, then asked, “What did it feel like?”

Dominic hesitated. Truthfully, I knew exactly what it felt like to be stabbed. I’d been stabbed in my past life, and if things kept going the way they were going in this one, it might happen again. But I didn’t say that.

Finally, he replied, “It actually wasn’t too bad. It was more a feeling of ‘holy shit there’s a knife in me’, and not so much about the pain.”

“Makes sense.”

“Yeah.” I heard his pillow shift, like he was looking at me. “You said you had a traumatic incident involving men and knives. Did you get stabbed at some point?”

My throat tightened. I squeezed my eyes shut tight and tried to force out those images, but it was still painful. Even now, I could feel it.

“I really don’t want to talk about it,” I whispered.

Dominic rolled over to face me. I could feel him looking at me over the pillow boundary. “Why not?”

“Because I’m not…” My voice trailed off. I didn’t know how to explain any of it. Finally, I settled on the truth. “I’m not sure if you’ll believe me.”

“What?” Dominic propped himself up on an elbow. “What makes you say that?”

I didn’t answer.

He sighed, flopping back down. “If I tell you something personal, will it make you feel comfortable enough to tell me?”

I looked at him, surprised. He was still looking at me, and in the darkness, I could see his blue eyes shining, reflecting the light of the moon coming in from outside. For a moment, just a moment, something in me softened.

“Maybe,” I whispered.

That seemed to be enough for Dominic. He breathed in, as if steadying himself for what he was about to say. Intrigued, I turned my head fully to watch him.

“Earlier,” he said, “at dinner, when you and my mom were talking…”

My stomach dropped.

Oh, no.
