The Luna Queen's Rebirth (Ellie and Dominic) novel Chapter 231

Chapter 231

“Thank you,” I finally managed. That was all.

Dominic’s mother squeezed my hand once, then let go. “Speak of the devil,” she whispered, nodding her head toward a space a little ways down the field.

Dominic was standing about thirty feet away, talking to one of the pack elders. He had his hands in his pockets and he was nodding along to whatever was being said, but his eyes had drifted over to us.

When he saw me looking, he didn’t glance away. He just looked back. And smiled.

It was a small thing. Hardly anything to bother dwelling on. But despite my best efforts, I found myself smiling back.

“Go on,” his mother said, nudging me toward him.

My feet started moving before I could stop them. I walked over to Dominic, stiffly at first, then a little faster until I was standing beside him. When I glanced over my shoulder, his mother was gone, leading me to wonder if I had just had some kind of hallucination or talked to an angel. Or perhaps some kind of fae trickster that would come back to bite me in the ass.

“Hey,” I said as the elder excused himself, leaving us alone.,

“Hey.” Dominic turned to me, looking at me expectantly, waiting for me to say something. My face heated as I realized that I had come over without any purpose, which was unheard of these days. And I had no idea

what to say.

Just then, over by the capture the flag setup, I noticed that a group had gathered. I pointed. “Want to play?”

I cringed immediately. I felt like a kid on the fucking playground. But Dominic smiled. “Sure!” he said, and then grabbed my hand and pulled me over.

When we arrived, the attendant handed us each a vest. Dominic pulled his over his head, and I put mine on.

We were on the same team.

The game had already started, with the guests split across both sides of the roped-off field. There was a group of some players crouched behind a hay bale, whispering.

୮

Dominic looked at me. “Left or right?”

“Left,” I said. “Always left.”

We split off. I ducked around the left side of the field, staying low, keeping an eye on the flag planted at the far end. Someone on the opposing side made a run for ours and got tagged out immediately, which caused a loud argument. I ignored it and kept moving.
