Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 196

Chapter 196: 196-Fallen Out Of Love

Clementine:

Ian’s eyes widened in shock as I charged the Wendigo again. She flung me back once more, and this time my arm twisted completely. My left arm was useless now.

There was only one option left. I ripped the stick free from my arm and dug in my pocket for a match.

"Here!" Suki’s voice rang out as she tossed one to me from across the road.

I caught it, panic flooding me as I tried to light it on fire. The Wendigo thrashed toward Ian, frantic to reach him. I lit the stick, fire sparking in my hand, and glared at her.

"You’re not gonna hurt him, you bitch!" With that, I bolted straight at her.

She screamed as I charged her with the burning stick. I swung and smacked it across her face, flames catching on her skin. I shoved at her with the stick, forcing her away from the debris so the fire wouldn’t spread to Ian.

When I finally pushed her off and she collapsed onto the road, I glanced left and saw three more Wendigos lying dead. That’s when it hit me, we had killed quite a few already. Almost all of them were female, which meant they wouldn’t be able to reproduce alone. If we managed to clear most of them out, maybe next time we came back, we wouldn’t have to deal with these ugly, dangerous things. They were the most destructive ones.

Once she burned out on the road, I scrambled back onto the debris, frantically trying to free Ian. By then, Suki finally started running toward us again. Now that she saw there were no more Wendigos and the sky was clearing, she helped Joshua crawl out from under the rubble.

It took us a while to clear the debris and free them both. Ian was the first to get up, and I saw he was completely covered in blood. The second he stood, he grabbed my right hand and pulled me in so fast it stunned me. His massive frame wrapped around me as he embraced me, and I felt small in his arms.

I didn’t move. I didn’t even react, and I regret not hugging him back. I just couldn’t process it. Ian wasn’t the type to show emotion like this.

"Thank you so much," he whispered.

He finally broke the hug awkwardly, and we both looked away, almost like it hadn’t happened. Our eyes landed on Suki and Joshua. She wrapped her arms around him, but I noticed Joshua didn’t hug her back. He looked confused, probably lost.

"We need to find a way to hide before they come back," Ian suggested, and Suki finally let go of Joshua. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"But where would we go? The safe mansion is too far, and we don’t know if the Fleshmingos or the Wendigos have invaded it again." She was very deliberate with her words. In just a few sentences, she informed the two that it had already happened once, that one of the monsters had gotten inside the mansion.

"There is another safe area here," Ian said, and I could tell that was all Suki wanted to hear. Within minutes, we were rushing toward the underground subway.
