Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 177

Chapter 177: 177-I Confront The Cheaters

Joshua:

I had decided to leave the useless piece of trash behind. I could tell he was being attacked, and those things were only focusing on him. Early on, I guessed he was the one luring them somehow, but why, I had no idea. I had never seen these things before. They were weird, like ugly dead bodies flying around.

We managed to get into a small vintage shop and stayed there until we noticed the things finally leaving. We had no clue if they were able to save Nate or not. I came out from behind the counter and saw Yorick and Troy carrying Nate away.

"Is it safe to go outside now?" Yash asked, stepping out from behind a big shelf of vintage goods.

"Argh! It hurts so bad," Then I heard Suki complain. She was still sitting on the ground, unable to get up. I rushed over, but once again noticed Jack trying to reach her before me. This time, I wouldn’t let it happen. When the things were attacking us earlier, I couldn’t argue with him, so I let him comfort her. But not anymore.

"Back off!" I yelled at Jack, giving him a look.

The fact that they betrayed me so badly for so long, and still didn’t stop making mistakes, only proved to me they weren’t guilty at all. It just angered me more. I had seen Jack as my brother. And Suki? I had rejected so many proposals for her because I felt a mate bond with her.

A lot of people told me that if I dropped Suki, I could stay in the pack. My father gave me that condition, and I didn’t accept it. I chose Suki. So when I found out they had betrayed me, it felt like my entire life had been ruined.

But did it make me love her any less? No. No.

"I was just worried for her, Joshua. Come on, she’s been my friend too," Jack went on, completely ignorant.

The betrayal from these two would affect me for the rest of my life. And the fact that I still couldn’t hit either of them, because I loved them so much, made me feel pathetic. But I wasn’t going to let go of Suki. That wasn’t an option. I just wished she realized it and mended her ways.

I gave him a look, then before walking over to Suki, I stopped and faced Jack.

"I’m here for her, Jack," I said, hoping he realized that getting close to Suki was making me uncomfortable. He wasn’t a child. He knew what had happened. He just needed to back off and let me handle my own mate. Once Jack realized I was not going to let him get any closer to Suki, he stepped back.

"Anyway, are you okay?" I ignored Jack’s grunting and focused on Suki, who was grimacing in pain.

"That fucking thing clawed me all over my back," she complained softly, making me shake my head at her.

"Of course it did. Everybody wants a piece of you," I teased, and she managed a small smile.
