The Luna Queen's Rebirth (Ellie and Dominic) novel Chapter 59

Chapter 59

Ellie POV

I woke up warm.

Too warm.

Too… firm?

My eyes snapped open, and for three horrifying seconds I had no idea where I was. Then the world came into focus and all the blood drained from my face.

This… was not my room.

Big windows. Dark stone walls. Weapons mounted like trophies. A stupidly expensive fur throw at the end of the bed with low curtains billowing, and desk that looked right out of a midevil church.

Dominic’s room. I had been here before. But never in this life.

I bolted upright so fast the room spun. Nope. No, no, no. I must still be dreaming. Or dying. Or in hell. Yes, hell was more likely.

“What the-how-why-?! I was at the ball and then…?!”

I patted myself down like a lunatic, praying I was still wearing clothes. I was. Barely. Just my undergarments, someone had taken off my dress and heels, but everything else was… intact.

Oh gods.

Oh gods.

Had I-?

The door opened.

I whipped around and nearly screamed.

Dominic stepped inside lazily, shirtless, holding two mugs of coffee. Steam curled up arqund him like some Alpha-born halo.

“Morning,” he said casually. “You’re awake.”

I opened my mouth. Nothing came out but a squeak.

He stopped, brows lifting. “Before you freak out -”

“Too late,” I snapped, “I’m ALREADY freaking out, Dominic. Don’t talk to me like we’ve done this betore! Why am I in your bed?! What did you what did we ob gods

He set his the mug on the table, completely unbothered. “Ellie. Relax. We didn’t have sex.”

My soul came back to my body. “We… didn’t?”

“No.”

His tone was so annoyingly caltn it made me want to claw his face off.

“But if it were up to you last night, we would of.”

I glared.

“You were drugged,” he added with a roof his neck. “Obviously. Hot, bothered. But drugged. You nearly face-planted in the hallway. I carried you here so you wouldn’t choke on your own tongue like an idiot.”

“Right,” I breathed, “thank you for that beautifully compassionate explanation.”

He shrugged. “Just stating facts.”

“Are you? Because I think you’re missing some plot holes.”

“Maybe,” Dominic said with a faint smirk.””But this is good, normal. Feels more like us again. And I wasn’t about to kick you out after my claim. Do you know you snore?”
