Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 215

Chapter 215: 215-No Happy Endings For Anyone

Joshua:

"I can’t believe Suki stabbed another Crusader, and none of you said a word to me." Mr. Rick had been pacing the room, throwing tantrums. I hadn’t argued with him, because I honestly had no idea how to. But that didn’t change the fact that Suki was gone now.

"Maybe the negativity and all the stress from the North got to her." Jack tried to clear her name a little but that idiot Ian ruined her reputation after he didn’t even save her.

"It doesn’t matter. It makes things worse. Was she really that weak, that she got influenced so easily?" Mr. Rick hissed.

Now it was just the three of us—me, Jack, and Nate. And honestly, I didn’t even want to do it anymore. I didn’t care anymore. I had only come here for Suki, and now she is gone. It felt like I’d wasted my time. That was the sad reality.

I didn’t say it out loud, but I felt like Jack and I had fucked it up. We shouldn’t have pushed her so far. Maybe it was our words that broke her, because on her own Suki was really innocent.

"What? You’re gonna sit here and say nothing?" Mr. Rick snapped me out of my thoughts.

"If you’re gonna call someone out, call me and Jack out. We were being way too harsh on her," I finally admitted. Even when I could see Jake didn’t agree with me and didn’t want to take any blame for her guilt, I didn’t give a fuck.

"Really? And how is that?" Of course, Mr. Rick wanted to know how we had fucked up.

"We were praising Clementine," I muttered, staring out the window and taking deep breaths.

"And? How does that explain anything? That just proves she was weak." Mr. Rick scoffed at her mention, and I clenched my fists. I turned my face from the window to glare at Mr. Rick, but then my eyes landed on Jack behind him, signaling me not to lose it.

"Anyway, we don’t have many people left. I’m afraid they’ll once again ask to merge the squads. So from now on, you will listen to me carefully," Mr. Rick said while rubbing his chin in his fingers.

So that was what was bothering Mr. Rick. Once he explained it, it all made sense. He only cared about his position.

Once Mr. Rick was ready to leave, he turned back and told us one last thing.

"Enjoy these few weeks for now. I don’t think we’ll be sending you back to the North for a while."

I closed my eyes as Nate cheered and Jack smiled almost too happily. But to me, it felt like he’d stabbed me right in the chest.

"Did you hear that, man? We’re not going back there for a while. Oh my god, that’s such good news," Jack said, walking over and patting my back.
