The Luna Queen's Rebirth (Ellie and Dominic) novel Chapter 510

Chapter 510

Ellie’s POV

I nearly knocked a torch off the wall scrambling to answer him.

“Dominic! I’m here! I’m here!”

“Ellie.” His voice came through faint and crackling, cutting in and out the way Nico’s had in the dream. But it was him. It was really him. “Where are you? Are you hurt?”

“I’m alive. I’m “I laughed, pressing a hand over my mouth. He’d feel the whole truth through the bond anyway. “I’ll live. Where are YOU?”

“Inside the mountain. I found a cave in the cliff face and started walking.” A pause. “It’s a long story.”

“So is mine.”

His passages had to connect to the labyrinth somewhere, so I talked him through the waves-how the crests all leaned in one direction like a current, how the current had led me here. For a long while, his end of the bond went quiet, and I paced the shelves, feeding the torches, listening to my own heartbeat.

“Okay,” he finally said. “I found your waves.”

“Follow the crests.”

“They’d better know where they’re going.”

Time crawled. Then, stronger and closer than before:

“There’s a tapestry down here. A woman in gold.”

“Behind it!” I said it out loud, already running for the bookshelf. “Behind it-there’s a door. Stairs.”

“How many stairs?”

“I lost count at two hundred.”

“…Wonderful.”

I stood at the back of the library with my hands pressed against the old wood for what felt like an eternity. Finally, I heard boots scraping on the other side. I flung the bookcase open, and then Dominic was on me, colliding, his hands cupping my face, lips searching, eyes wide.

“Ellie. Ellie, Ellie-”

“Dominic-”

His name ended on a sob for me, but it didn’t matter. His arms wrapped around me and crushed me into his chest, and I held on tight, curling my fingers into his jacket. I noticed that he was freezing. His clothes were damp, his jaw rough against my temple. But he was alive. We were alive.
