Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 194

Chapter 194: 194-I Won’t Run Away

Clementine:

Thankfully, she shut up once I didn’t argue back. I could tell she got her energy from pissing people off and arguing.

Once we moved forward, we realized the clouds were closing in fast. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"We need to find a safe place, like that mansion," she suggested.

I looked around, but honestly, nothing stood out.

"I think there will be more places like that. It seems like the people of the North built headquarters like safe houses in every area. So with that in mind, we should be able to find something here too, in the big city," she kept going.

But my priority wasn’t to find a safe place to hide. I was heading in the direction of the tower, where I could find my squadmate.

"Sure, you’re just being a nice squadmate," Mint commented. I groaned at her. She had been so helpful, honestly. She always gave her best whenever we were in danger, and she never complained that I did not let her out. That was the best thing about her.

"I only care for him because he’s our squadmate, and also because I think he’s a friend," I muttered, trying to shut her down.

"You think? You’re not even sure if he wants to be your friend," she groaned. I rolled my eyes, focusing on responding to Suki.

"I think underground places," I said and she raised a brow.

"What was that?" she asked, wanting me to confirm.

"I think underground places will be safer. If you think about it, the Wendigos can’t break underground. Small ones might slip in, but not the bigger ones," I explained, noticing how impressed she looked.

"Yeah, right. So what could there be, like underground? Where would we find it?" she asked.

"Maybe in a house with a basement," I muttered, then noticed the tower.

And then I heard someone grunting and screaming. I already knew what was happening.

"Suki, it’s Ian," I said.

She frowned, scowling at me as she began to hear it too.

"How could you tell from just growls?" she complained, hurrying after me.

I rushed forward and saw another massive cloud overhead. If we went a few steps further, we’d enter the dark zone. The problem was we didn’t know how many Wendigos were waiting out there. At this point, we knew at least three were behind us.

"Oh my god, there’s a fucking cloud. Do you not see it?" Suki yelled, grabbing my right arm and pulling me back when she noticed I was heading forward.

"I can see that very clearly, Suki. Do you think I’m blind?" I hissed, shrugging my arm free and glaring at her.

There were clouds coming from behind us, but they had slowed down. Another was already in front of us. It was so odd that the small space we stood in, just a few feet, was the only area lit by the sun.

"Then why are you headed in there?" she yelled.
