Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 27

Chapter 27: 27-The Monster Is In Love With Me

Clementine:

I watched Troy walk onto the road and toward me. He leaned down, offering me his hand. I gave it a thought, then gave him my hand. He pulled me up, and I started to shrug my pants off any dust that they gathered.

"My man was not flirting with your girl," the girl said, stepping forward, her arms folded over her tiny waist.

"Actually, we saved your girl," Joshua said, also getting up, hands on his waist.

"I’m not his girl," I retorted, stepping away from Troy.

That was when all the white squad members started to show up. The total of five seemed to be sticking together and doing a great job trying to find ways to defeat the Faun, while my squad members were nowhere to be found. It was just Troy and me. I had no clue where Ian was, no idea where Yorick went. And Haiden? He must be somewhere around his baby mama.

"Then why is he getting so aggressive about it?" the girl narrowed her eyes as she almost yelled. Neither Troy, nor I focused on answering her.

"Anyway, how did you guys find out that Fauns get scared of fireballs?" I asked Joshua, while his girlfriend frowned.

"I didn’t. My baby did. Meet Suki Young. She’s one of the finest warriors of her pack." Joshua wrapped his arm around her tiny waist and pulled her closer. Too close for anyone’s comfort. But she fit perfectly in his arms.

"And what do you guys want from us now? A thank you dance?" Troy taunted, trying to hold his muscular arms over his chest, but they ended up looking extremely buff, so he let go of the idea.

"Well, it was nice meeting you, Clementine, but make sure you surround yourself with people who are less sassy and more helpful," Joshua continued, making Troy narrow his eyes at him.

"Yeah, you don’t need to tell us what we should and shouldn’t do. We are doing fine without you. So go ahead, take all your babies, put them in your bag like those demonic ass Labubus, and walk away, Joshua," Troy said as he stepped forward, almost like keeping me behind his back.

I stepped to the side and then came out. I was not gonna hide behind his back. And what was I going to be hiding from? The guy who saved me?

Joshua gave Troy a very bizarre look before he started laughing. Then he looked at me and uttered, "Oh, by the way, um, I’m pretty sure someone has fallen in love with you. So good luck, guys, because he will be coming back soon to fetch his lover."

That taunt came like a bullet to me. Both Troy and I shared a glance before looking back at him.

"What do you mean?" Troy asked.

Now it was time for the white squad to share smiles. They looked like they had achieved something by getting our attention.

"Well, you did not want our help, so why should we?" Joshua said, stepping backward while staring at us with smiles on their faces.

And then, after all of them had turned around, Joshua did a few seconds later, and they started to walk away.

"What the heck did he mean by that?" Both Troy and I turned to look at Yorick, who had arrived and heard Joshua’s last statement. Hence, the question came.

Now both of them were watching my face.

"I don’t know," I shrugged, annoyed.

First, Yorick was off somewhere, and then he was appearing out of nowhere, acting like I was having an affair with the Faun.

"I know as much as you two do. I don’t know what their statement meant," I groaned, watching them look at me like I was hiding something from them.

But then, after staring at me for a little too long, they probably realized they were being unreasonable. So their posture started to soften a bit.

"Now what?" Yorick asked Troy.
