The Luna Queen's Rebirth (Ellie and Dominic) novel Chapter 63

Chapter 63

Dominic POV

I hadn’t slept much. One night was filled with an almost, the next, just…couldn’t sleep.

It’s hard to after your fated mate storms out of your room like you’ve committed a war crime.

Marcus, of course, found this hilarious walking between classes.

“So let me get this straight,” he said, walking beside me with all the grace of an annoying mosquito, “you claimed her…and then she ran away?”

I ground my teeth. “Marcus.”

“Oh, no, wait-better. She ran away right as you woke up That’s impressive. Even for Ellie.”

“Marcus.”

He wiggled his eyebrows. “Did she sprint? Or was it more of a dramatic flounce? Actually-she flounces a lot, ‘doesn’t she? Kinda cute-”

I stopped ewalking.

Marcus crashed into my back.

I turned slowly, leveled him with a glare sharp enough to peel paint off walls.

“Dude, I don’t know what your on today, but drop it.”

He held up both hands. “Just trying to lighten the mood, man.’

“Well, stop. I’m not in a mood that needs lightening.”

Jake snorted behind us. “Yeah, you’re in a mood that needs sedation.”

I growled at him. He wisely shut up.

We headed across the courtyard, and I tried-tried-to focus on something other than Ellie’s scent still faintly clinging to my shirt, the bond flickering between us, or the way she’d looked at me like I was the villain in her personal tragedy.

She’d been drugged.

And she’d misunderstood-again.

And still… if stung, the way she left.

I exhaled through my nose, sharp and annoyed. “I’m not talking about it anymore.”

“Talking about what?” a voice chimed behind me.

I stiffened.

Vivian.

I Furned, bracing myself for yelling, shrieking, tears, something dramatic. Instead, she smiled. Bright. Sweet. Perfectly composed.

“Hi, Dom!”

Marcus and Jake both snapped their heads toward me so fast it should’ve caused spinal damage.

“Uh…” Marcus murmured in my ear. “Why… isn’t she mad? Hasn’t word spread? I mean you left her mid ball-”

I elobowed him. Plus, I had no idea.
