Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 313

Chapter 313: 313-I Go Back To Red

Clementine:

Tears gathered in the corners of my eyes and my heart pounded in my chest.

"What the heck do you mean by ’he’s no more’?" I grabbed his collar and my bag dropped to the floor.

"It was too late for the lurker to take him to get the antidote," he snapped, looking offended that I was even asking.

"You fucking asshole." I grabbed him, turned him toward the wall, and started shaking him.I was ready to punch him when he began to laugh.

"He’s fine, he’s fine," he said.

As he spoke and my hands loosened on his jacket, he grabbed my arm and turned me around.

Before he could say another word, a group of lurkers hurried toward us.

I let him go, thinking they would break this up and call us out for causing violence again.

That was not what happened.

One of the lurkers stunned him right in front of me.

I gasped and turned away.

Usually I would have fought the lurkers if it had been Ian, but I wouldn’t do it for anyone else anymore.

Right in front of me, they stunned Zian until he passed out.

I couldn’t help but wonder why they had stunned him.

The only thing that came to mind was that maybe the ringleaders, or someone else, had figured out he wasn’t Ian.

I didn’t know.

I just watched as they ignored me completely, grabbed Zian, who had passed out on the floor, and dragged him away.

The way they did it reminded me of when they dragged Oriana.

Maybe they had found out about Ian and were planning to rescue him now.

I said a silent prayer for that because I had noticed how uneasy I had been since Ian was taken away from us.

I looked down, took the album out from my jacket, and placed it back in my bag along with the pendant from my mother.

I put the pendant around my neck, slung the bag over my shoulder, and headed toward the hall.

I went straight inside and waited for one of the ringleaders to come out so I could talk to Miss Rue.

Thankfully, she was the first to appear.

She was speaking with Ms. Lenora about something as they walked upstairs, but their conversation stopped when she saw me.

It didn’t seem like it had been an urgent discussion anyway.

"Clementine, what are you doing here? And why do you have your bag with you?" Miss Rue asked, sounding surprised and a little worried.

"I need to speak with you," I told her, glancing toward Ms. Lenora to make it clear that I didn’t want to talk in front of her.

Miss Rue noticed.

"Sure, Ms. Lenora, we’ll talk later," she said quickly.

Thankfully, I didn’t need to explain myself further.

Miss Rue always understood me from small hints.

Ms. Lenora reluctantly walked past me as I followed Miss Rue downstairs to her office.
