Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 253

Chapter 253: 253-The Mate That Broke My Faith

Clementine:

All eyes were on me now, and I felt judged. It was wrong of Ian to tell them when it should have been me. I wished I had. I was respecting Ian’s decision not to tell, and this is how he repaid me.

"Is it true?" Troy asked from the side while I kept glaring at Ian.

Ian made a casual hand gesture, reminding me that my mate had asked a question and I should answer him.

"What do you mean by ’is it true’? Obviously, Ian is lying," Haiden growled, stepping up beside me and moving into my view.

As soon as he demanded eye contact, I looked down and clenched my fists.

"Why didn’t you tell us?" Yorick asked. I guessed he took my silence as an admission of guilt.

I took a deep breath and turned to face them all.

"Because it was Ian’s decision. When he didn’t tell any of you, I didn’t either. I’m not going to talk about my mate bond with him when it means nothing to either of us," I hissed, finally admitting it happened, but not because I was ashamed or being secretive.

"That’s not the only reason she didn’t tell you," Ian said, rubbing his palms together.

All eyes shifted to him again. I had no clue what was wrong with him. How far was he willing to go before I finally concluded he was a scumbag?

"What do you mean?" Yorick questioned him.

"You must think she accepted you and left me out," Ian said. "But that’s not the truth. She didn’t accept you until she was sure I was no longer an option."

He rubbed the blood from under his nose with his fingers, then shook his hand to the side, wiping his finger clean.

"Now you’re taking it too far," Troy hissed, stepping forward to attack again, but Ian grunted at him.

"And why don’t you ask her why she picked the same day to sleep with you all when she came to my pack and saw me with my ex?" Ian taunted. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

My eyes shut. I knew the others were watching me now.

"Clementine, what is he talking about?" Troy asked gently, touching my elbow to turn me toward him. But I pulled my arm away, my fists clenching.

"But you said you never met him," Yorick reminded me.

I opened my eyes to see Haiden standing to the side, his back to Ian, his eyes fixed on me. He just stood there, silently watching.

"That’s because she was heartbroken," Ian continued. "She was never going to accept you. She slept with you out of anger. Otherwise, do you think she couldn’t control a little body heat?" he sneered.

He kept going. There was no stopping him. He didn’t understand he was making me uncomfortable. That after cheating on me, he had no right to punish me for sleeping with my mates. But the way he was exposing everything, it felt exactly like that.

"Clementine, is it true? Were you not accepting us because of him?" Haiden finally spoke.

My eyes shifted from Ian to Haiden. As much as I wanted to lie, I realized it had gone too far.

"Please, tell me," he pressed, his tone softening. "Was there a part of you holding back because of Ian?"
