Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 144

Chapter 144: 144-They Say I Am Trustworthy.

Clementine:

I jumped in the car that had come to pick us, all the squad mates, and then smiled at Troy and Haiden. I sat down with them in the back seat. Yorick instantly turned around to give me a head nod, while Ian stayed looking outside the window. He had one foot up, resting on the back of the driver’s seat.

"Thank you, Clementine," Haiden started.

"When you sent the head back to me for the burial and I saw that her tears had finally stopped, it was everything I wanted to see," Haiden continued, mentioning that his sister was finally put to rest because she had gotten her revenge.

The only reason she had still been crying after her death was because the woman who slut-shamed her, even when she was the victim, the same woman who hammered her until she took her last breaths and left her in the north, that same woman was still alive and living a life of luxury–my stepmother.

"It’s okay. Remember I told you I was having these weird nightmares? It turns out they were distant memories. They were the memories of your sister’s last moments. That’s how I was able to put two and two together," I said confidently, though I still felt sad for Maya. She was just an innocent soul who did not deserve what happened to her.

"You know, when we put her head back on, she turned into flesh and bone. She was smiling. I got to see my sister with her features still intact," Haiden said, grinning ear to ear.

I could only imagine how he must have felt during those days.

"Haiden, I really wanted to be there for you," I told him as I showed him the bracelet I still couldn’t take off, the reason we couldn’t be there for the funeral.

"Wait, but what happened to your stepmother?" Troy cut in, reminding me I still had to tell them what happened. Haiden already knew because I had a brief call with him.

"So, after I left Maya in her room, my stepmother went in. She probably stared into her eyes after taking off the cloth. That’s when she began to feel all the pain, and she turned into stone," I explained, giving them the details.

"Oh, so who’s taking care of the pack now?" Troy asked.

"Actually, they gave Leysa a month’s notice to either find herself a mate or prove herself to be a worthy alpha of the pack. So let’s see what she does," I said, remembering how she was the one who found her mother’s corpse. It had taken her at least four days to even open her mouth and say something. Her first words were, ’Clementine is the reason this happened.’

I mean, the council did not believe it. I told them everything, and they believed me. They refused to give Glinda a proper burial, saying she deserved to be left in the north too. So after her body turned to stone, they tossed her into the north while Leysa cried her eyes out and begged them not to.

By the time we were talking, we had arrived at the academy. As we all got off and began heading toward our room, Yorick turned around in the passage, walking backward while facing us.

"This makes me wonder if the one person we claimed not to trust in the beginning is actually the most trustworthy among us," Yorick said, hinting at me. Troy and Haiden smiled and looked at me before straightening their backs again.

I felt kind of shy at the compliments because I had never been praised like that before. In the beginning, I thought I didn’t want compliments either, that they would make me uncomfortable. But now that I was being praised, and even though it was odd, I felt good.
