Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 163

Chapter 163: 163-Wiped Out

Clementine:

We looked toward the green squad’s door from the hall and saw that Mr. Brian and Mr. Rick were right at the exit, just leaving.

"Come on, what are you waiting for?" Mr. Rick yelled at the other ringleaders. It was pretty clear to us that he and Mr. Brian had run faster than the ladies, so they were about to leave but were waiting for them to catch up.

"Did something happen?" Oriana asked, her face pale.

"What was the gunshot about?" someone from the blue squad questioned.

There were no answers. Everyone was panicking while the ringleaders started to leave, joining Mr. Rick and Mr. Brian.

"You guys stay behind. Nobody comes out. Let us deal with it first and see if everything is fine," Ms. Lenora warned, keeping us from stepping forward.

As she rushed out, I saw Ian and Haiden trying to follow, but suddenly lurkers appeared with guns in their hands, almost as if reminding us we were supposed to obey the rules. We had no choice but to stay behind.

Now we were just anxiously waiting for the arrival of the ringleader so they could tell us what exactly happened. What had turned things so scary? The storm just got worse.

"Why don’t you sit down," Troy asked as he came over to me. He had probably noticed how anxiously I’d been rubbing my palms until my knuckles turned red.

"I’m fine," I said, though I felt a lot dizzier than before. I didn’t know what was going on, but I had a very bad feeling.

"Come on, sit down." Troy held my hand and made me sit.

Somehow my eyes moved to the white squad. I didn’t know why I was getting so self-conscious, but I noticed them staring at me, then scoffing and looking away like they were judging. Troy followed my gaze and then looked at them.

"Don’t worry about them. The more you give in to that, the more you’ll feel trapped. Don’t let them embarrass you," Troy whispered, rubbing my hands between his.

This was the first time in so long that we spoke like this, without any animosity. At least not from my side, maybe because I was too stunned and wanted to focus on what was happening instead of my own problems. But it didn’t change the fact that I was scared. I was scared for the green squad. Had the lurkers gotten angry at them? Were they trying something and got caught? I didn’t know.

"Clementine, please calm down," Troy said, staring into my eyes.
