Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 237

Chapter 237: 237-I Did Not Post It

Clementine:

I was so tired that I didn’t immediately wake up. I kept sleeping because it was a regular occurrence, a maid would come and leave either a note from my father beside my pillow or some food. Sometimes maids would sneak in to leave a fruit next to my pillow. It was their way of showing affection without getting caught by my stepmother, and I appreciated it.

So I didn’t think much of it when a maid came that day. That’s why it didn’t worry me, and I kept sleeping. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

I woke up about two hours later than usual because I’d been so stressed the night before, to something ringing right next to my ear. At first, I thought it was a nightmare. Then I began to wonder, why wasn’t it ending? Why did it seem so real?

I reached toward the sound and felt something solid beside my pillow. It was my phone. As soon as I touched it and held it, I sat up, my eyes wide open.

"What the heck?" I groaned, checking my phone.

It was indeed my phone, with the same scribbles I’d done on the back of it. But I remembered I’d dropped it. Then how had it appeared right next to my pillow? Did someone give it to the maid to leave it here?

I had too many questions, but first, I had to answer the phone call I was receiving. It was Troy calling me. Anxiety hit me as I remembered what happened last night. I decided to tell him everything. I immediately picked up his call.

"Troy, you know—" I had only started speaking when he hushed me with a loud grunt.

"How could you fucking do this to me?" he screamed.

The way he yelled made me fall silent, trying to gather my thoughts. I had just woken up, so I wasn’t sure what to expect or how to put everything together.

"Troy, listen. Last night I came to your place—" I began to speak again, but he grunted even louder.

"I know you fucking came to my place and tricked me. You fucking played me!" he shouted.

I gasped, confused and shocked.

"Wait! Tell me what happened. What are you accusing me of?" I blurted, panic flooding me.

There was no way his anger came from anything other than some very clever act of deception by someone else.

"Oh, you have no idea what you’ve done?" he screamed into the phone.

"I thought of you as my friend, Clementine. Why would you do that? Why now? Why, when I was this close to getting crowned?" His words shook the ground beneath my feet. I instantly jumped off my bed, panicking.

"What do you mean by ’about to’? You got crowned, right?" I asked, my voice trembling. I wished he could hear the shakiness in my tone and realize I was genuinely worried for him.

"Oh, cut the crap. After the stunt you pulled, I’m not even sure they’ll let me stay in sports, let alone get crowned as an Alpha. You ruined me, Clementine. Why would you do that?" he shouted, his voice breaking.

"Troy, I need to understand what happened. What did I do?" I pleaded, completely lost and blindsided by his accusations.

That was when his voice began to fade as his mother snatched the phone from his hands.

"I saw you as my own daughter. I didn’t know you were so manipulative. Just because you couldn’t get crowned, you decided to ruin my son’s chances too," Lady Lydia cried.
