Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 106

Chapter 106: 106-On Her Knees

Clementine:

After finding out about the mate bond, Troy, who already knew, went to take a shower. Ian seemed to be in shock, not saying a word. He just watched me silently. Then there was Haiden. He had quietly moved away, running his hands through his hair and pacing faster as he roamed the room. I felt like he was judging me because he would glance at me now and then. Finally, after seeming to process the news, he stepped closer. But before speaking, he turned toward Ian, acknowledging that he was watching us.

"We will talk about it," Haiden said. "And since we know the lurkers are outside, we won’t be allowed to go into the open field to discuss it, at least for now."

After Troy came out, I went to take a shower. We weren’t even allowed to attend Sadie’s funeral. Her body was sent back to her pack, and they said her baby was too. He was handed over to her family. I just hoped they would treat him well, giving him all the love he deserved but never got from his mother.

We were so tired we decided to rest after we had a silent dinner in our room. Naturally, Troy and I needed the rest most. While he went to bed, Ian and Haiden also decided to sleep. I headed to the bathroom instead, just to clear my head.

Once inside, I heard them talking, almost like they’d waited for me to be out of earshot.

"Isn’t it odd that she has two mates?" Ian said, bringing up the topic again. I knew why, he just wanted to keep the drama going. That kind of thing was fun for him.

"I mean, don’t we know she’s special?" Haiden said.

"How? What makes her special?" Ian argued, making me roll my eyes.

"Back when she could have boarded the train with her baby, she handed the baby to Yorick, then stepped out just to fetch Troy. Maybe that’s what you’re talking about?" I didn’t know why Ian had to spell everything out, but the moment he did, silence followed.

"Wait, she had a baby, gave it to Yorick, and then left for me?" Troy asked, his voice full of confusion, shock, and maybe a little relief.

"I mean, yeah. She didn’t even tell Haiden her plan," Ian went on. At this point, Haiden stayed quiet.

"I truly feel bad for you, Haiden. It seems like she doesn’t like you much. She takes care of everyone except you, even though you’re a fated mate. That sucks," Ian went on, making me reach for the door. My hand rested on the handle. I wanted to confront him for stirring up so much tension, but I was afraid Haiden might ask me to choose sides in the heat of the moment.

"Hey, don’t say that. The fact that she’s doing so much makes me think we were wrong about her at first," Troy said, stepping in for me, obviously because he had just found out I left the train for him.

"And it’s you we should be worried about, because you haven’t proven your loyalty to the group," Haiden finally spoke, thankfully turning his fire on Ian, and for the right reasons. Ian had never shown he was committed to our team or that he’d rescue us if it came to that.

"Okay, I didn’t know I had to prove my loyalty to you suckers. I didn’t come here for you. I don’t need to prove my loyalty to any of you, so fuck off and get off my back." Now that he was under scrutiny, Ian was suddenly aggressive, exactly what I expected from him. Silence followed.

After a few seconds, I opened the door and found Haiden and Troy sitting on the bed, while Ian had already laid down again.
