Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 291

Chapter 291: 291-Oh My Ian, Where Are You?

Clementine:

"Oh, you!" Ian yelled as he started sprinting in my direction. I knew I had to get away from here, to get away from him.

But where could I go? Running back into the dorm would only mean facing the others who made my life miserable.

I had nowhere else to be, no one I could share this news with but I needed to be around people, anywhere I’d be safe from Ian and that lurker.

I started running, and, surprisingly, I was faster than both Ian and the lurker. But they knew the path too well.

Soon, I noticed the lurker cutting across the trail, then disappearing from sight.

He must have taken a different route, likely a shortcut.

I turned right, trying to throw them off, but Ian stayed close, forcing me farther from the main academy grounds.

I groaned as I leaped over a fallen tree. When I looked back, Ian was grunting, his body beginning to shift.

It wasn’t a full werewolf transformation, just a partial one, but he didn’t seem to notice.

I wanted to shift too, to show him what my wolf could do, but I couldn’t risk revealing her on academy grounds.

So, I called for Mint’s help quietly while keeping my human form intact.

I pushed myself to run faster, almost reaching the edge of the academy when the lurker suddenly came out of nowhere and tackled me to the ground.

A hand clamped over my mouth, silencing me.

We rolled across the dirt until I steadied myself, pressing a foot to the ground to stop our momentum.

I managed to pin him beneath me, my fingers gripping his throat, fist ready to strike.

That’s when I saw it, the small mole under his eye. It was the same lurker I’d suspected before.

But before I could hit him, Ian lunged forward, knocking me off.

His arms locked tightly around me.

I swiftly turned around to punch Ian, but he pulled away from me, laughing and cackling, teasing me while sticking his tongue out.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" I grunted.

He stopped moving, making no effort to grab me.

"I wasn’t going to hurt you. I was just chasing you for fun," he replied with a smirk.

The lurker stood up, acting as if nothing had happened.

"No, you were attacking me because you were afraid. I’ll tell everyone that I found you talking to the lurker," I warned, my breath catching in my throat.

Ian stared at me for a moment, then started laughing again.

"I don’t know what you’re talking about. He wasn’t talking to me, I was talking to him. Just a heart-to-heart. You do that too, don’t you?" he commented, still smirking.

He mentioned that the lurker had told him all about me and what I’d said the other day.

I couldn’t understand why this lurker was so different or how he could speak at all.

"Can you prove it? Can you prove that he was speaking?" Ian continued.

Even though I should have focused on the fact that the lurker spoke, my attention stayed on Ian, his eyes, the way he moved, the way he talked.

I had to do something, if only to calm my nerves.
