Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 270

Chapter 270: 270-They Are In Her Bed Now

Clementine:

We all stood, staring at each other as we recalled the moments when I had read part of Bodhi’s diary and then lied to Miss Rue just to see what they were going to do next.

"That makes sense, but why would they be so scared of anyone finding that diary, unless there’s a part of them that knows the truth will be so horrific that their perfect persona will fall apart?" Yorick suggested, and we all began to nod.

Before we could discuss any further, the door opened, and Oriana came in. I had almost forgotten about her, but now I remembered she was going to stay with us for a while.

"What are we discussing?" she asked as she stood with us. I wasn’t comfortable talking in front of her.

"We –," As Troy started to speak with her, I quickly shifted everyone’s attention.

"Did you speak with the headmaster about attending the funeral?" That question was on my mind, and I knew she had asked me not to mention it.

She had told me she would speak with the headmaster and would need us to back her up. Slowly, I managed to shift the topic.

"I tried, but he didn’t listen," She replied, looking dull

"But I knew this would happen. When they dragged me back, my pack members and everyone else told the headmaster that they didn’t want to do anything with me." she sighed.

I instantly felt bad for bringing it up. I was just trying to change the subject. I didn’t know I would strike such a nerve, and now I felt guilty.

She touched her stomach and then asked, "Is anybody else hungry?" As soon as she said that, the others began nodding.

"By the way, welcome to the room and our squad. As long as we are staying together, we will stay as friends," Yorick welcomed her, making me smile a little too hard.

I wasn’t being toxic, but I had some suspicions and didn’t know how to voice them. She had lost her father and was probably feeling lonely, so if I intervened now, I would look like a really bad person.

I was afraid of doing that for now.

"Yeah, welcome to our room," I finally spoke up, forcing a smile. She happily walked over and sat on the empty bed that had never been filled before.

Ian walked out after his shower, and I decided to go next. Once I finished, I walked out to find Ian sleeping on his bed, completely silent.

His corner was dark, but it was the other corner that caught my eye. All three of my mates were huddled on Oriana’s bed. She was sitting between them, and they were talking, laughing, and sharing giggles.

It’s not that they were being flirtatious or anything. They were just laughing. And they weren’t even sitting that close to her. Yet my heart skipped a beat at the sight. I guess I just wasn’t expecting it.

"Oh! Clementine, come join us. We’re playing a game, whoever says the funniest joke gets to do a dare in the morning," Oriana said, gesturing for me to come over.
