Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 250

Chapter 250: 250-Slut Shaming Me Now?

Clementine:

It took me a while, but I managed to find the strawberries. I filled my first basket, ran back to the main ground, and tossed them into the bucket. I noticed the others had already filled theirs.

However, they had found out that Ian had angrily stormed off, and we didn’t have much time since we were supposed to head back to the academy by 1 p.m.

They said we had more tasks to do there. I guess they realized they couldn’t just leave us out in the open for too long. I don’t know, something was up.

My mates didn’t ask what had happened between Ian and me. The last time they checked, I was supposed to tell him about the mystery behind Bodhi’s diary and what I’d heard from the ringleaders.

But they silently grabbed their baskets and ran after me, filling theirs with strawberries to help fill mine and Ian’s buckets.

I didn’t put a single strawberry in Ian’s bucket. I was done playing nice with him. I couldn’t ignore the fact that he had tried to fool me, and thankfully, I caught him in the act.

After a while, around 12:30, when we started gathering around the buckets again, we noticed Ian wasn’t in sight.

"Did you two argue?" Yorick asked softly.

"He stormed off. He was in a bad mood," I replied, skipping over the argument we had.

"Well, we have to go and fetch him," Yorick added.

"Why? I mean, we helped him with the buckets. If he’s gonna act like a child, he should be the one getting punished for it," Haiden disagreed, and Troy sided with him.

"Besides, that guy’s an asshole. We never know when he’ll throw tantrums. He keeps himself at arm’s length from us. Why do we need to get so close to him anyway?" Troy remarked with little body language, shrugging and rolling his eyes.

Yorick and I kept staring at each other. I’d noticed Yorick was usually quiet but more capable of acting like me than the others.

"He is sometimes a fool. Then I’ll go and find him. It’s okay, you guys stay here," Yorick said, making me clench my fists and look away.

He waited a moment, taking slow steps away. I guess he suspected I’d follow, because usually, I would.

If anyone was in danger, I’d be right beside whoever went to rescue them. This time, I wasn’t. It’s not like Ian was a child who didn’t know where to go.

The next fifteen minutes were hard to get through because I was worried about Yorick. He was supposed to be near his bucket when the clock struck 1 p.m., and I didn’t want him to get punished for Ian.

Thankfully, before time ran out, Ian and Yorick walked back. I noticed the two were whispering awkwardly before they came into view. Suddenly, Ian gestured at him, and Yorick stopped talking.

I guess I wasn’t the only one who caught it, because Troy instantly turned to look at me, making sure one of us had seen it too. From the way I looked back at him, I could tell he realized I’d noticed just as much.
