The Luna Queen's Rebirth (Ellie and Dominic) novel Chapter 55

Chapter 55

Dominic POV

This night was already trashed. I was in a bad mood far before my beta, Marcus, leaned in as I stepped out of

“By the way,” he whispered, straightening my jacket like a smug idiot, “Um…more bad news.”

I took in a breath, streathing my coat. “Marcus. You have given me nothing but bad news. You couldn’t catch Ellie. I’m here with-” I pause. “Just, what is it?”

“I know, and for the record, she is fast and don’t bite my head off.” He grins.
