Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 184

Chapter 184: 184-Mission Failed

Clementine:

"What the heck were those noises?" Yorick asked first. I noticed Haiden giving me a quick once-over with his eyes before finally relaxing.

"It was those things. Remember I told you about a monster I saw outside the mansion last night? Well, those things are real, and they’re deadly," I said, taking deep breaths.

"Are you feeling okay?" I turned to Nate, who nodded. I could tell he was finally back to his senses.

"Shit, so where did they go? Did you kill them?" Haiden asked, shoulders tense. The bite mark on his arm had vanished.

"No. I don’t know. There were so many, but then suddenly they were gone." I tried to explain as best I could, but there really wasn’t another explanation.

"Anyway, what are we gonna do now?" Yorick asked, sounding anxious but confident, like he was ready to show no mercy if the monsters came back. Alphas always got riled up. I was one too, and honestly, I knew it because I got riled up just the same.

"I don’t know. All I know is that the mansion back in the village is one of the safe spots. It’s monster-proof somehow. I don’t know how, but it is," I said firmly. Troy nodded along, even though he didn’t know for sure. He was just backing me up.

"But what about Ian and the others?" Haiden asked. "Are they back already?"

I bit my bottom lip. This was where I had to share my next plan.

"So I was thinking, how about you guys go back to them—"

I stopped when noises echoed down the hall. I recognized them. Our squadmates and the white squad were returning.

"They’re back," Yorick said with a smile. "So if they’re done with the job, we can just go home."

We all felt relieved until the others came into view. They didn’t look confident. In fact, the way they rushed toward us gave me a very bad feeling. The first person I saw was Ian, and honestly, I was relieved he was fine. But as soon as he met my eyes, he shook his head.

"We couldn’t do it. Somehow this cloth wasn’t able to clean that thing," Ian explained once he reached us.

I noticed some of the others were slightly injured. Jack looked like he had just transformed. He kept stretching his limbs. Even Joshua seemed like he’d had to let his wolf out.

"What happened back there?" I asked, curiosity overwhelming me. We had too many questions and didn’t know which one to focus on.

"Some things attacked us, and we had to transition to heal," Jack said, sounding meek and upset.

Then I saw Suki. There were bloodstains on her back, wounds from those things that came from the sky. There had been too many monsters. Honestly, it was getting really hard to keep track of them all.

"Why couldn’t this thing clean it?" Haiden asked, changing the subject again. The conversation was getting chaotic.
