Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 264

Chapter 264: 264-The Hunger In Her Eyes

Clementine:

"Oh wow! Where did you find these?" I asked excitedly, staring at the coals. They were coals by name only—black diamonds, even shaped like them.

"When I left you guys and ran ahead, I noticed something shining in the corner. Usually, these things are very well hidden, but at a certain angle, they start to shine. That’s how I saw them. They were in a small cluster in the corner, and if I’m not wrong, these earth eaters are usually gathered around places where these coals are," Yorick explained, while Troy held one in his hand, staring at its beauty.

Even Oriana was shocked. But they were even more surprised when Yorick suddenly grabbed my bag and started filling it with the coals he’d found.

"No, Yorick! What are you doing?" I protested, instantly trying to pull my bag away from him.

But he insisted, holding onto mine by force and trying to transfer his coals into it.

"No, Yorick, stop it! You’re going to find yours for yourself, all of you, and we’ll find ours. Fine, we can help each other, but not like this," I complained as I snatched my bag back again.

However, the look on Yorick’s face melted my heart.

"Well, then I’m not going to find mine," he muttered, suddenly dropping his bag and sitting down like a child, his arms wrapped around his legs.

"Yorick, don’t be a child," I said, stomping my feet.

"Well, then accept my gift." He looked up at me angrily, daring me to take it or else he wouldn’t get up.

"Come on, Clementine, don’t upset him. If he’s doing something for you, he’s doing it with all his heart. So, rejecting it is kind of painful," Troy jumped in, taking Yorick’s side. I knew why. Because he was probably going to do the same thing.

"It’s not about doing something with love. I know you guys care for me. You don’t have to prove it. But I’m not going to let him empty his bag, then go out to find coal for himself and get in trouble. You’re not understanding me. I don’t need saving. If you want to comfort me, then make sure you stay safe. That’s what will comfort me the most," I finally spoke up, letting them know that my own safety wasn’t what worried me.

Every time they were out of my sight or in danger, that’s when I began to panic. I managed fine on my own, but they were becoming my weak spot instead of my strength.

"Fine, then just accept it this once, and next time I’ll find one for myself," Yorick said with a cute pout. At that point, I realized there was nothing I could do to change his mind. He sat stubbornly on the ground, and Troy sided with him.

"Fine, but just this once and we’ll distribute them among us" I told him, warning him with my eyes not to argue.

"No, this is your gift. We’ll distribute the next ones," Troy replied, wrapping his arm around me and giving me a small peck on the cheek. The fact that they forgave me so quickly really made me feel much better.
