Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 261

Chapter 261: 261-A Threat Or A Warning?

Clementine:

"Oriana, stop it!" I yelled once she tried to push the door shut. I was sure Troy saw everything, because instead of running toward us, he went the other way.

"Troy, come over here!" I shouted, trying to get his attention.

"I can’t take the risk!" he yelled back as he ran off.

Honestly, I felt awful. I had always been able to rely on my mates, but today he couldn’t do the same. He had to take another route because he wasn’t sure if we would let him in since Oriana and I were both struggling over the gate. The thought made me feel sick.

Oriana slammed the door shut, and while one of the monsters chased Troy, another earth eater came straight for our gate, crashing against it. We both stepped back, Oriana even fell on her butt, scrambling away from it.

The thing was massive. Its mouth could open wide enough to swallow a person whole. It tried to pry the gate open, ramming itself against it again and again before finally giving up and charging off in another direction.

When it was gone, I turned to Oriana. She didn’t even seem to notice the look I gave her. Instead, she offered me her hand, as if that was why I was staring at her. But I didn’t take it. I was too fucking pissed at her.

"What the fuck did you do, Oriana?" I screamed, anger and fear crashing through me. I couldn’t stop thinking about whether Troy had made it or not.

"What? I saved us both," she muttered, intensifying my anger. "He was being slow. Those things were fast. Didn’t you see how close it was behind him? We wouldn’t have had time to fight it if we’d let Troy inside and we wouldn’t have been able to close the door."

She hissed the words, and I clenched my jaw hard.

"Oriana, if that was the case, I would’ve fucking fought the monster instead of leaving Troy outside!" I yelled back at her. The more I spoke, the more she looked shocked, gasping and staring at me in disbelief.

"You would jeopardize your own life for him? He’s just your squadmate! Come on, Clementine, it’s your life above others!" she shouted, standing up and brushing the dust off her skirt.

"There’s something called friendship, loyalty, and humanity," I muttered through clenched teeth, refusing to tell her the real reason. Not only that, but he was also my mate.

While saying that, I grabbed my weapon and decided to go after Troy, at least to look for him. But she quickly grabbed my hand, stopping me before I could reach the door.
