The Luna Queen's Rebirth (Ellie and Dominic) novel Chapter 339

Chapter 339

I hesitated. “I don’t know. Maybe. Maybe not.

Lucas crossed his arms. “Does it matter?”

“Of course it matters,” Sarah said, glancing at him over her shoulder.

“No,” Lucas said. “It doesn’t. Whether or not he orchestrated the kidnapping or her mother’s death, he still chose Vivian over Ellie. He let rogues take her away. That’s all that matters.”

Sarah frowned. “Maybe he felt like he didn’t have another choice. Maybe he thought he was making the right decision by trying to save both of them.”

“That’s bullshit,” Lucas said. “The mate bond should have made him choose Ellie without question. If he didn’t, then that means he never truly cared about the bond. Or about her.”

“You don’t know that-”

“Stop,” I said.

They both turned to look at me.

“Just stop,” I repeated. My voice came out small, and I hated that. “Please.”

Sarah’s expression softened. “Ellie…”

I shook my head. “It doesn’t matter. None of it matters. My marriage to Dominic was doomed from the beginning.”

“That’s not true,” Sarah said.

“It is.” I looked down at my hands. They were still trembling slightly. “I thought I could change things this time. I thought I could shape history, make it turn out differently. But I couldn’t. Not really.”

I swallowed hard. The lump in my throat felt like a shard of glass.

“My mother is still dead,” I said. “Just like before. History repeats itself in this timeline, even if it happens in slightly different ways. I should have just taken her and run from the beginning. I shouldn’t have tried to fix the situation. I know that now.”

The room was silent.

“And I know, even if he wasn’t involved, that I still made the right decision in leaving Dominic,” I continued. “I’ll never go back. Not to him, not to Vivian. I think it’s better if I just leave it all behind, just as I should have done when I woke up in this timeline.”

Sarah’s expression fell, but she nodded and took my hand. “Okay,” she whispered. “If that’s what you want.”
