Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 283

Chapter 283: 283-Punished Yet Again

Clementine:

"Ah, be careful!" Oriana almost squeaked when the lurker snatched the uniform out of her hands after making her change back into her own clothes.

The lurker walked away, leaving us in our separate cells. These were the same cells I had been thrown into countless times before.

I sat comfortably in my cell, watching Oriana go through all sorts of emotions.

"Ew! What is that?" she screamed, pointing toward another cell where blood stains covered the wall.

It wasn’t anything new to me. When I was kept here in the beginning, the others and I were tortured into submission. But this spoiled princess clearly hadn’t seen a place like this before, so she reacted to everything with panic.

"How can you sit there so calmly, as if you belong in these cells?" she hissed, speaking directly to me.

I turned my face away, ignoring her.

"Come on, Clementine, you can’t keep giving me this silent treatment," she complained, stepping closer and gripping the cell bars with both hands.

"Do you still not see it? they were laughing at you with me," she continued.

I rolled my eyes at her attempts to still stir pot when there was nothing left.

"What do you want from me?" I finally asked.

"You wanted a team of your own. You got it. Now leave me alone, because I don’t fucking care what you or the others are doing anymore," I said bluntly, watching her shake her head, almost in disapproval.

"I’m not nearly done, Clementine," she said, her voice sharp. "Because I just realized, after getting your squadmate’s support, that I want to be the center of attention. I want to be Clementine."

There was a strange spark in her eyes as she spoke, one that gave me goosebumps.

"I want to be the only one they care about," she went on, her eyes gleaming with greed. "And for that, I have to make them let you go. I mean, Haiden will reject you, right? If you ask him."

As soon as she said that, I realized she didn’t know the truth—that the others were my mates. They must have told her I was only asking Haiden to reject me. Maybe that was the story they fed her, since she had been too far away to hear us.

"I think once you’re back in the North, your mind will open up again," I said calmly. "You’ll realize that these kinds of games don’t suit someone who constantly has to fight to survive."

I leaned back, watching her black eye as a reminder of the damage I had already done.

"Next time I go to the North, I won’t have to worry about anything, Clementine," she declared with a wide smirk. "Those three strong, beastly alphas will take care of me. Worry about yourself. Because remember Matthew? We almost forgot about him, didn’t we? That will be fun. Not only will you have no one on your side, but someone will be fighting against you."

She laughed, shaking her head and clicking her tongue. "Ah," she groaned. "And they had to put us in these filthy cages. Couldn’t they have locked us in a luxury suite instead?"

She kept complaining, touching everything and grimacing as if she might vomit. I looked up at her, realizing again how untouched by reality she really was.

"Can you please bring me something to sit on? I’m not going to sit on the ground!" she complained, shouting for the lurkers.

"Ugh, I have never been disrespected like this," she hissed, kicking the bars.
