All Chapters of The Luna Queen's Rebirth: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Dominic POVI come home from practice sore in places I didn’t know could still ache.My shoulders are tight, knuckles scraped, lungs burning like I didn’t quite finish breathing before I left the training ring. Usually that kind of exhaustion helps. Usually it quiets things.Tonight, it doesn’t touch the noise in my head.I haven’t seen Ellie in days. Haven’t seen Lucas either, not since that night exploded. The silence should feel like relief, considering we needed the space.Instead, it’s just… hollow.I shove open the front doors and let them slam harder than necessary. The house smells like roasted herbs and warm bread.Not…the usual. Laughter drifts faintly from the back halls, the maids, probably. They seem busy.I peel off my gloves and toss them onto the side table, then head toward the kitchens, intent on grabbing food and disappearing upstairs. I don’t want conversation. I don’t want strategy. I definitely don’t want to see—“Dominic.”My mother’s voice stops me mid-step.S

“So stubborn,” his mother says fondly. “Always has been.”I wonder if she realizes how familiar that word sounds to me now.I glance at Dom, he glances at me, and we both look away.Dessert arrives.One bowl.Two spoons.They place it between us with unmistakable intent.“Share,” his mother says lightly. “It builds closeness.”My stomach knots.Dominic doesn’t reach for his spoon. Neither do I.“I… don’t think this is appropriate,” I say carefully.His father chuckles. “You’re fated mates, Ellie. This is nothing.”Nothing.I’m telling you, it’s not.Dominic’s knee shifts, barely brushing mine, and I pull back instinctively. The movement doesn’t go unnoticed.Everything feels too hot all at once.His mother tilts her head. “You’ll grow used to it.”That’s when it sinks in.This isn’t dinner.It’s rehearsal.“I… don’t think I will.” I say, fainting timid.“You’re young, you’ll understand in time.” His father nods. “Eat. Both of you.”Dominic sits rigid beside me, jaw tight, eyes fixed f

My lip raises. “Hey!” I snarl. “I didn’t do anything wrong! Don’t act like your my dad suddenly, I tol you—”He reaches behind him and slams the envelope onto the table. It skids toward me.Dominic’s crest glares up from the paper.“You think I wouldn’t find out?” he snarls. “You think I wouldn’t he

Vivian POVBreakfast is my favorite meal of the day.Not because of the food—I barely touch it, stick to tea mostly—but because everyone is always tired, usually stalling the day.I sit at the table with my tea, steam curling up in front of my face, porcelain warm beneath my fingers. Chamomile. Calming. Necessary, considering the noise coming from the other side of the room.Ellie is already arguing with my father. Right on time.“I’m not doing this,” she snaps, standing near the counter, hair still slightly messy, eyes glaring, and bagged from little sleep. “You don’t get to decide who walks me to school!”My father doesn’t even look fazed. He buttering his toast like this is a perfectly normal conversation to have over breakfast.“I already have,” he says. “Lucas will be here any minute.”I lift my cup and sip, hiding my smile.Ellie turns on him fully now. “You wanted me with Dominic yesterday. You yelled at me for refusing him, struck me even! And now suddenly I’m supposed to be w

Ellie POV The headache hits without warning.One second I’m copying notes off the board, half-listening to the lecture about restorative flow patterns, and the next it feels like something sharp has been driven straight through my skull.I freeze, pen hovering mid-word, breath catching as the pain
