The Luna Queen's Rebirth (Ellie and Dominic) novel Chapter 254

Chapter 254

Ellie’s POV

I surfaced from sleep gradually, pulled up by the sound of voices and moverment below. Boots on hardwood, doors opening and closing, the low rumble of several conversations happening at once. I laid there for a moment, blinking at the ceiling.

Before I fully woke, there was a knock on the door.

“Luna?” a voice called through the wood.

I blinked and looked at the door. It took me a moment to place the unfamiliar voice, but it hit me just as the doorknob began to turn.

Mara. My new “handmaid.”

The door slowly opened, and I sat up quickly, hurrying to hide the book. The last thing I wanted right now was for nayone to question why I was reading an ancient book on reincarnation, so I quickly grabbed it and looked around, then shoved it under the mattress just as the bedroom door fully opened.

Mara stepped in. She was already fully dressed in her crisp uniform, her hair pulled back into a neat bun, with the same overly pleasant expression on her face as yesterday.

“Good morning,” she said. “Alpha Dominic is preparing to leave. He’s asked that you come down to see him off.”

I stared at her for a second. “He’s leaving? For what?”

“For battle,” she said.

My stomach dropped.

Battle. For the war.

Dominic was a good fighter. I knew that. I also knew, from my past life, that he had won this war. But despite everything, a small part of myself felt a pang of worry at the thought of him going off to fight.

Mara moved to my wardrobe and opened it, pulling out a dress without being asked. “The warriors assembled at dawn. They’ll be heading out within the hour.”

I took the dress from her without comment and started getting ready. The dress was plain and gray but elegant, and Mara arranged my hair into a crown braid while I threw on some mascara.

When I made it downstairs, the entry hall was full of people. Pack elders, senior warriors, members of the household staff, all gathered to see the Alpha off. Dominic was in the center of it, already in his armor, talking in a low voice to Ryan.

He looked up when I appeared at the bottom of the stairs and our eyes met briefly before he looked away.

Mara put her hand on my arm. “You’ll want to pick a flower,” she whispered.
