Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 179

Chapter 179: 179-His Confession Of Love

Clementine:

"Are you sure you will be okay? There is no one else going from our team, so I think one of us should come with you," I asked Ian after we had laid Haiden and Nate in two separate rooms of one of the buildings. It was an apartment complex, and we chose the rooms on the fourth floor. Troy was sitting with Nate and Yorick was with Haiden.

"I will be fine. Besides, we don’t know how Nate will act once he wakes up. His hallucinations could be wild. A third person is a must to take care of him and this whole setup," Ian replied while dividing the stuff from the bags.

I kept watching his face. I didn’t know why I was worried for him. I did not trust that white squad. For them, the only thing that mattered was their own comfort. They wouldn’t even think twice about their own squadmate.

"Come on Clementine, I’ll be fine." I don’t know how Ian noticed that I was too worried, but he tried to comfort me.

Yorick held my arm and pulled me away from Ian toward Nate’s room. "Go sit with Troy, make sure you keep an eye on Nate." Yorick almost pushed me into the room before leaving for Haiden’s.

I sat down, then wandered around, watching Troy on the couch with his elbow bent, fist under his chin. He stared at me in silence. I moved to the window and stood next to it, watching the white squad leave with Ian.

Ian could take care of himself, and he didn’t really care about being in a group or if others weren’t speaking with him. But that didn’t mean he wouldn’t need help.

"They will be fine though," Troy said, making me turn to look at him.

"No, I was just wondering, what if it is too late and the net has been completely broken?" I lied. That wasn’t what I was really worried about. I was, but most of my worry was about how the white squad would treat Ian.

"The tower is just a few minutes away. They’ll reach there in no time and we’ll find out what is going on. Don’t worry," Troy answered. I nodded and sat down again by the window.

The next few minutes were really hard to pass. I felt odd under Troy’s gaze. He hadn’t looked away from me once.

"Why did you let Ian touch you?" he finally asked, breaking the silence.

I smiled and nodded. "So, this is your question about that day?" As soon as I said it, I noticed him looking a little too worried.

I guess in that moment, not only I but he realized too, that they had been so caught up in competition that they focused more on who was going to hurt, who was going to drag the other down to look bad in my eyes, instead of trying to look good in my eyes for themselves. I had expected Troy to ask why I got intimate with him, but his jealousy had peaked so much that he focused more on Ian.
