The Luna Queen's Rebirth (Ellie and Dominic) novel Chapter 267

Chapter 267

Ellie’s POV

The morning was quiet, mainly because I was up before Mara knocked on my door for once.

I dressed quickly, pulling my hair into its usual braid, and was already halfway down the stairs by the time she appeared at the top of them with a slightly affronted expression on her face, like she’d been robbed of her one job for the day. I ignored her and slipped outside.

Colt was already out by the time I found him, standing near the gate outside. He looked up when he heard me coming.

“So.” I stuffed my hands into my pockets and stopped in front of him. “How about that tour?”

He nodded and gestured for me to lead the way.

We started at the east side of the property, where the training grounds sat between the tree line and the back of the barracks. A few of the warriors were already out running drills, and Colt paused to watch them for a moment before we moved on.

I took him through the grounds methodically. The stables, the east gardens, the outer fence line, the meeting hall. I kept the pace easy and the conversation light. Colt was good company, I had to give him that. In my past life, I had never bothered to get to know him too deeply. We might have exchanged less than a dozen words between each other. I was always too focused on Dominic, and he was always too focused on

Vivian.

Speaking of the devil.

I led Colt back toward the main house and opened the back door.

“So the main house,” I said, gesturing for him to enter. “Obviously you’ll have access to the common areas, the kitchen, and most of the main rooms.”

Colt nodded ducked inside after me.

The hallway was quiet. I led him through it at a leisurely pace, past the study, past the sitting room doorway. I glanced in as we passed.

Vivian was sitting in one of the armchairs, holding a book in her lap that she was very clearly not reading. She looked up when she heard footsteps. Her eyes found me first, then landed on Colt.
