The Luna Queen's Rebirth (Ellie and Dominic) novel Chapter 274

Chapter 274

Ellie’s POV

The night air hit me like a slap to the face when I burst out of the lounge. I kept moving, heels clicking against the pavement, and stuck my hand out for the first cab I saw.

“Ellie!”

Dominic’s footsteps pounded after me. Cursing under my breath, I dropped my arm and began hurrying

further down the street.

“Ellie, would you just—”

“I have nothing to say to you right now,” I said.

“Well, I have things to say to you.”

“Good for you.” I stepped further up the curb and craned my neck looking for a light-up cab sign. “You can say them to yourself on the drive home.”

He came around and planted himself between me and the street, which effectively ruined my cab strategy. I folded my arms and looked at him.

“Move,” I said.

“Not until you let me explain.”

“Explain what?” 1 laughed bitterly. “You grabbed my phone out of my hand and hung up on my friend.”

“I thought you were talking to-”

“I know who you thought I was talking to,” I said. “And even if I was, that gives you no right to take my phone like that.”

He pressed his lips together.

Behind him, further up the block, I could hear music thumping from the open door of a nightclub. The sign above the entrance glowed purple. A line of people snaked out the door and down the sidewalk.

I looked at it. Then I looked at Dominic, who was still blocking the curb with his arms crossed like he was prepared to stand there all night.

Fine.

I stepped around him and started walking toward the club.

“Go home, Dominic!” My voice was nearly lost below the music. I didn’t turn, but I could feel Dominic there, still watching me.

The song changed, tempo picking up, and the crowd shifted around me. I moved with it and tried to ignore the fact that I could feel him watching me. He tugged on the mate bond, and I ignored it, gnawing on the inside of my cheek.

I turned slightly and scanned the crowd next to me. A man nearby caught my eye and smiled. He was decent- looking and he was eyeing me like he wanted to dance.

I smiled back and stepped closer.

I could feel Dominic’s eyes harden against my back. Good. I paid him no mind as I began to sway with the man. If he was going to treat me like a cheater who couldn’t be trusted, then I would act like one. See how he liked it then.

The man barely had time to register what was happening before Dominic stepped between us and said something close to his ear that I couldn’t hear over the music. The man looked once at Dominic’s expression and quickly moved away.

Dominic turned to me just as I was about to slip away into the crowd. His arm shot out, reaching for my waist this time, and looped around me. Before I could breathe, he pulled me flush against his body and began to move.
