The Luna Queen's Rebirth (Ellie and Dominic) novel Chapter 248

Chapter 248

Ellie’s POV

I woke up before my alarm went off the next morning:

That wasn’t terribly unusual anymore. A good night’s sleep felt like a distant memory at this point; my mind was always racing too much for proper dreams to fill the space. This morning was no different. I laid there for a moment staring at the ceiling, listening to the quiet of the house, and then got up.

I dressed quickly, pulling my hair into its usual braid and grabbing my bag. The morning light coming through the curtains was pale and thin. I would have time to hit the library before class.

My conversation with Lucas last night had been swirling around my head since Neft him. I wasn’t quite sure where to begin when it came to discovering more of the details surrounding my death. But the library seemed like the most logical place.

I wasn’t sure what I would find there. Probably nothing. But on the off chance that there was some old story about someone who had gone through the process of rebirth like I had, then I figured I could start there. Maybe, if I could understand my condition a little better, then the rest would fall into place.

I had just slipped out of my room and turned the corner when I nearly walked directly into Dominic.

He was freshly showered, hair still a little damp, in the middle of buttoning his shirtsleeve when he looked up and saw me. We both stopped and stared at each other.

“Morning,” I muttered, moving to brush past him. He stepped in my way before I could. His nostrils flared, and I heard the sound of him…

Was he… sniffing me?

I pulled my head back and looked at him. “Smell something?” I asked.

“Yeah.” He finished buttoning his cuff and dropped his hand to his side. “You smell like him.”

“Oh, for the love-”

“You were with him last night, weren’t you?” Dominic’s eyes flashed. “I heard someone sneak in late. Saw a shadow under my door. Did you go to him, or did he come to you?”

I didn’t answer that. Because technically I did see Lucas last night, just not in the way Dominic seemed to think. And I wasn’t about to explain the real reasons behind our late-night meeting.
