Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 139

Chapter 139: 139-Always Starting A War

Clementine:

I did not expect him to forgive me. I thought he would be angry, and I was already upset with myself. But then he showed up, looked for me, and chose to clear up any disagreements or misunderstandings right away. Even though I had a harsh past with him, his actions made me see him differently. The way he changed so quickly, realizing we needed to talk and resolve things when he could have just waited, made me feel good. The fact that he came right away made me feel very special.

After Troy came to fetch us, we decided to rush back to the train station. But something else caught our attention. We realized we were in one of the biggest cities. The tall buildings and high-rise apartments were empty, or maybe filled with monsters, we couldn’t tell. The roads were massive too, with old cars scattered around, all in a fucked-up state. Aside from the wind, there was no sound.

I had run deep into the city and hadn’t found a single soul. Not even dead bodies. Just blood splatters.

"We should go," Haiden said.

Right then we heard the loudest groan, almost earth-shattering. He grabbed my arm while Troy put his hand on my back to steady me, even though I didn’t need it. Our heads turned to the side.

A cluster of tall buildings loomed, and among them was a shadow. Huge, slender, stretching into the clouds. We couldn’t make out its form, only its shadow. But the sound it made was like the loudest sirens we’d ever heard.

"Whatever the fuck this is, we need to get out of here," Troy said.

We nodded and sprinted back the way we’d come. So fast that if any of us had tripped, we would have been seriously hurt from the sheer pressure and strength we used to get away from that monster.

This time it felt different. We had lost quite a few people, and not just lost them. Much worse shit had happened. We couldn’t retrieve any bodies except for those turned to stone by Medusa. Among them was Xenia, her stone-cold body carried by the other squads.

At the station, everyone was there except for the white squad. That was odd. They always stuck together, which made me wonder how Xenia ended up alone and in the grasp of the brown house people. Jessie was still a mess. I figured she’d need to go home first, heal a bit before she could fully recover after her transition.

Matthias from the red squad was helping her board the train, while Oriana stood behind with her arms folded across her chest. Her eyes landed on me, and a smile spread across her lips.

"Ooh, who is that?" she grimaced as her gaze shifted to Ian, who had the leader’s arm draped over his shoulder.

"Isn’t that—" She gasped as recognition hit her.

"Yeah, somebody help us find something to tie this man up with," I called out. Almost everyone jumped to work, except for Oriana. She was usually in such shock that it took her a while to snap out of it, let alone help.

After all the preparations were done, we boarded the train with the white squad rushing in late. The others seemed fine. It was the same people, Joshua, Jack, Suki, Nate, and Yash, but they were missing someone.

"Where is Xenia?" Jack asked as he stepped into our carriage. The train still hadn’t left.

We just gave him a silent look, a clear hint we weren’t interested in answering. He rushed past to the carriage behind us. Suki and Nate followed, searching for Xenia, while Joshua and Yash lingered in the doorway between carriages.

Joshua leaned on the frame, elbows spread, his eyes scanning us until they landed on the man, tied and passed out.
