The Luna Queen's Rebirth (Ellie and Dominic) novel Chapter 260

Chapter 260

Dominic’s POV

The journey back to the pack had been long and quiet, which gave me plenty of time to lament over everything.

“You’re more of a coward than I thought, Dominic.’

Lucas’s words hadn’t stopped echoing in my head since he said them.

By the time we arrived home, I had come to the conclusion that maybe there was a shred of truth in what he had said. Perhaps I had been too rash in accusing Ellie of having an affair with Lucas. I should have listened

to her.

I decided that I needed to talk to her. I wasn’t entirely sure what I would say. I didn’t know if my ego would let me apologize. But I needed to say something, anything, to try and begin to repair what had been broken.

When I walked in the door, I expected Ellie to be there. I supposed a small shred of myself had hoped that she would have missed me just as much as I missed her, and would be waiting for me with open arms.

She wasn’t.

Mara and Vivian were standing there instead.

Vivian’s face split into a smile when I entered. She opened her arms and rushed over to me. “Welcome home, Dominic.” She pulled me into an embrace before Kould react. “I’m glad to see you’re well.”

Vivian’s embrace was warm and welcoming, and her perfume hit me like a brick wall. Sweet and floral. But she wasn’t Ellie, who, admittedly, I’d wanted to see more than anyone else since yesterday.

I pulled back and looked around. “Where’s Ellie?”

Vivian’s face fell at the mention of her name.

Mara clasped her hands in front of her and cleared her throw. She, uh… She left yesterday morning, Sir. I wasn’t able to stop her before she had slipped away.

I stared at her for a moment. “Slipped away?” I repeated. “Where?”

Vivian sighed. “We don’t know. It seems she set off the smoke alarms in the kitchen as a distraction and was out of the house before anyone realized what was happening. Her car is missing and she packed her toiletries.”

I set my jaw, but I didn’t say anything. All I could think about right now was being alone and taking a hot

shower.

Brushing past Vivian, I made my way upstairs to my room. I wasn’t expecting to find a note sitting on my pillow when I entered, but there it was, scrawled hastily across a small yellow sticky paper. I saw it the moment I stepped into the room.

Quickly crossing the room, I grabbed the note and scanned it.

“Dominic-Heading out for a few days. Personal matters. And no, I’m not with Lucas. Be back soon. -E.”

I read it twice over before I set it back down on the pillow and stood there with my hands on my hips,

staring at the wall.

Personal matters.

I almost laughed.

The note said she wasn’t with Lucas, but right now, I wasn’t sure if I believed her.

I dialed Lucas’s number immediately. He picked up after several rings.

“Yes?” he answered.

“Is Ellie with you?”

There was a pause, and then: “No.”
