The Luna Queen's Rebirth (Ellie and Dominic) novel Chapter 266

Chapter 266

Colt glanced at me briefly before he followed.

I watched them go and then went inside. Vivian was nowhere to be found, although Mara was waiting for me outside my bedroom.

“Luna,” she said, curtsying as I approached. “I’m glad you’ve returned safely.”

“I’m sure you are.” I cleared my throat, and she stepped out of the way. When I entered my room, she tried to follow, but I shut the door in her face and locked it.

Dominic found me in my room about an hour later. I had just finished showering and changing, and was sitting in front of my vanity doing my skincare, when I heard his keys clink outside the door. A motnent later, the door opened, and he stuck his head in.

“Can I come in?” he asked.

I picked up the bottle of moisturizer. “Never stopped you before regardless of what I want,” I muttered, to which he rolled his eyes, although he entered and shut the door behind him.

For a moment, he just stood there with his arms crossed, staring at me. I felt him looking at me, but I didn’t meet his gaze in the vanity mirror.

“What do you think of Colt?” I asked.

“Three days, Ellie. You were gone. For three days. While was in battle. I was scared sick.”

“I had some academy matters to deal with,” I said. “Personal research. I needed access to some materials that weren’t available locally. And besides, I left you a note.”

“You couldn’t have waited for me to get home before you left?”

I recapped my moisturizer and looked at him in the mirror. “Would you have let me go?”

He opened his mouth and then closed it, which was answer enough.

“Colt’s fine,” he finally said. “I looked at his resume. It’s good enough. He can stay.”

I nodded. “Thanks.”

Dominic was quiet for a moment. He unfolded his arms and exhaled, and some of the rigidity went out of his

posture.

“I was worried about you,” he said.

“I know.”

He crossed the room and came to stand right behind me. His hand lifted, as if he wanted to touch my shoulder, but then he dropped it again before he could.

“I owe you an apology,” he said.
