Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 221

Chapter 221: 221-Don’t Trust The Ringleaders

Clementine:

I just had a feeling something wasn’t right, but I kept walking until I reached the last step of the stairs.

I noticed the silence downstairs except for one room that was lit. I could tell it was Mr. Rick’s room because the door and its frame were white, unlike the other rooms. The black one came before the red one, so the first room was Miss Rue’s office, as she called it. I guessed those rooms were also their bedrooms, which they called offices.

I started walking toward Miss Rue’s room. The door was open, so all I had to do was turn on the light, but curiosity got the better of me. I stepped ahead, reaching the red room and then the white door that stood fully open.

"And what about the ones that are dead?" I heard Ms. Lenora ask.

They were having a casual chat, but it wasn’t casual for any of the Crusaders to hear, because it was about us.

"Well, they’re gone. What can we do about them?" Mr. Rick replied, sounding casual and nonchalant.

"I never thought we’d live to see the day the Crusaders came back from the cleaning task. They were supposed to die." Lenora’s words made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

"Yeah, I kind of expected it too. I was disappointed when I watched them come back, but it is what it is. They’re pretty strong, and it’s good for us, so who cares," Mr. Rick responded, making me close my eyes for a moment.

Were they really upset that the Crusaders came back?

"It’s just that there are so few left. Until all of these are gone, we won’t get new ones. I kind of miss the whole crowded vibe," Ms. Lenora said, confirming they were pure evil.

For them, this was just a game. They sat behind closed doors, safe and secure. We were the ones going out into the north, watching our friends fall.

"What do you say about that girl?" Then Mr. Rick mentioned something that made my ears perk up even more.

"Clementine?" she asked, and I clenched my fist.

"She’s sharp. She seems to have some hidden talent, but let’s not forget we haven’t seen her wolf yet. I was thinking about it the other day too," Ms. Lenora said, making the ground feel like it shook under my feet.

"Well, whatever it is, just remember there are a few we need to make sure are safe," Mr. Rick commented, causing my eyes to narrow again as I focused on their words. They were sharing so much information that it was hard for me to keep up. If only I had one of those books Ian used to scribble everything down.

"Most importantly, that Yorick kid. He’s getting himself into trouble here and there."

I was stunned when Ms. Lenora mentioned Yorick. Why? He wasn’t the one causing issues with them. Why single him out?

"Oh yeah, and that Ian. Sometimes I just wish I’d leave him in the north." As soon as Mr. Rick said that, my fist clenched.
