Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 266

Chapter 266: 266-My Wishes Matter

Oriana:

I watched the three of them fight those creatures like they were born to do it.

There was no hesitation in them whenever they struck the monsters. Clementine was impeccable, just as I’d imagined her to be.

She was perfect in every way.

Her squadmates weren’t bad either, but my eyes stayed on Clementine.

I wished she could see me, and only me. as her friend. But that wasn’t going to happen. I had seen how she cherished their touch. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Then I remembered the way Yorick gave her his coal, the way Troy kissed her. They treated her like a queen.

There was no way any monster could even scratch her. The alphas with her would tear them apart.

Then fear took over, and I ran in the opposite direction. Even when I saw her friends trying to save me, I was terrified.

"How far can we go?" my wolf uttered shakily.

At some point, I felt like my wolf would come out, but that would draw the monsters’ attention, and they’d all gather around me.

I didn’t want that. I was too scared.

"Ria, I don’t think we can survive like this," I told her, little whimpers escaping my lips.

"But we must. We have to go back home. We have to get justice for our father. Remember how Clementine got justice for Haiden’s mother? She’ll help us. We just need to go back."

Ria tried to push me, giving me courage, but I felt broken, completely shattered.

My father was my whole world. Even if I got justice for him, what then? My life was over.

"Get justice for my father and then go where? Even when Clementine managed to have her father arrested, she was left with no home. Now she can’t even return to her pack or take a vacation. I don’t want to live like that."

A small cry escaped me as I remembered how important the pack had been to me.

It was my father’s hard work that made our pack flourish. But now, he was gone.

My steps began to slow down. I was clutching the bag by its strap, dragging it along the ground.

With every few steps, my body hunched lower and lower. I no longer had the strength to keep going.

Eventually, I dropped to my knees, my head hanging low. I didn’t even see where I was.

I just gave up.

"I can’t," I whispered, letting go of the strap and placing my hands on the ground.

"Did you see how they were treating her? She’ll never leave them and be our friend alone. Who in their right mind would let that kind of love and affection go?" Ria pointed out, referring to the care her squadmates showed her.

I remembered that even Haiden seemed fine with it.

"Of course Clementine is special. No wonder her own mate doesn’t want to restrict her. He must be afraid of giving her an option and her leaving him, so he’s willing to share her," I murmured after carefully observing her dynamic with everyone.

"What about us now?" Ria questioned.
