The Luna Queen's Rebirth (Ellie and Dominic) novel Chapter 247

Chapter 247

“I’ll handle the plague,” He said. “We’ll get a plan in order. Root out the people who are sick and quarantine them before it spreads. I talk to my healers about developing a vaccine”

I let out a breath. “You’d do that?”

“You just told me children die, Ellie. So yes, of fucking course I would do that.” He shot me a look. “Give me a little credit.”

“I do give you credit. I just” I smiled wanly. “Thank you. Genuinely.

He nodded once, and then was quiet for another long moment before he said, “I need to ask you something, and I need you to actually answer it.”

“Okay.”

“In your past life,” he said carefully, “how did things end up with Dominic?”

“You know how they ended,” I said. “I died.”

“Yes, but before that…”

“He chose Vivian over and over again.” I kept my voice even despite the fact that I wanted to scream it all. ” Put my crown on her head before I’d even drawn my last breath, He always hated me, anyway. He only came to my bedside in the beginning, when I was first stabbed. I think that was the only time I saw him being even a little tender toward me.”

Lucas didn’t say anything immediately. I could feel him thinking.

“Then you need to get out,” he said.

“I’ve been trying to get out since the wedding. I made a mistake because I thought he was different in this timeline, but…”

Lucas cursed under his breath. “Well, what’s done is done. But you’re watching history repeat itself, and we both know it ends up with you dead. You can’t let that happen again. I won’t let that happen.”

I didn’t say anything.
