Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 147

Chapter 147: 147-Do They Spit?

Clementine:

I gave him a smirk because I knew he was putting a lot of trust in me.

"Don’t worry, I don’t break trust," I said, removing the smirk from my face when he kept watching me for a little too long.

"Why did your friends accuse you of it?" he asked, bringing up the fact that my childhood best friend Troy and I had drifted because of this very issue—the trust.

"Well, let’s just say we were young, and he didn’t let me explain myself," I said with a shrug.

"Why didn’t you transition?" Since it was my turn to ask a question, I shot it at him quickly, so much so that he frowned, then only moved his eyes around as if trying to figure out where it came from.

"What?" he asked.

"Back in the north, when the black wolf was attacking me. Why didn’t you transition?" I questioned, trying to make it sound like it wasn’t a big deal. But it was to me. I wanted to know why he acted a certain way at certain times.

"Well, I wanted you to take the charge. I was hiding in the shadows, ready to attack him if you couldn’t control it. But I knew you had it together," he said. I didn’t respond, so he continued.

"I would have been unrecognizable if I shifted."

Now that was the answer. That was the truth. But somehow, it gave me goosebumps.

"What do you mean by that? Unrecognizable? Would you be so deadly?" I questioned, my eyes fixed on his face, looking for any reaction.

He just shrugged, not responding to the question.

"Ian, did you lie about the things my squad mate told you about me?" As soon as I asked, he started laughing, then leaned back dramatically.

"I’m serious," I insisted, and he slowly stopped laughing. His eyes landed on me.

"What do you think?" he asked.

I took a deep breath, ready to give him my piece of mind, knowing it would be hard for him to take. He would probably judge me for it, but it was my truth.

"I think, even though they hated me in the past, even though they said a lot of things about me back then, things have changed. If you had told me they said all that about me while they were still in their hating-me period, I would have believed it. But now, after they’ve promised to redeem themselves, and they’re actively trying to do so, I just don’t feel like it’s the truth. I think you made all that up. I can differentiate between their words and your own," I said, watching him look impressed for some reason. Both his eyebrows were raised high on his forehead.

"You really are special, Clementine," he said, shocking me with his response.

"Why did you lie?" I asked. He just looked down and started plucking grass with his fingers. A very visible pout formed on his lips.
