Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 322

Chapter 322: 322-I Want Something Magical Too

Joshua:

It wasn’t easy being in the North and realizing that Suki wasn’t here.

When I heard Clementine say they went on a mission, a dangerous mission, and returned with the coals, I felt really disappointed.

They all came back, even Oriana, who was terrified of the North.

She survived, so why? Then why was Suki the only one who didn’t return?

It made no sense, and it affected my mental health deeply.

"Joshua, are you coming too? You should take a nap first. I’ll be on guard duty with Mira. The Black Squad refuses to work with us," Jack said as he came up behind me.

I was staring out the small window.

The windows had been boarded up, but I found a tiny opening.

I needed to see the house Clementine had mentioned.

"It’s okay. Let them be," I commented. "I don’t think they know what they’re doing right now, so it’s better if they aren’t involved in anything. I can stay awake though," The three of them acted like Oriana’s puppets, so involving them in anything important, or related to safety, was pointless.

"Are you sure you want to stay awake first?" Jack asked again.

"Yeah, I’ll be fine. Go ahead, take a nap," I replied, glancing at Mira, who was patrolling the living room.

I was fine sitting alone, lost in my thoughts.

"Why are you so interested in the underground tunnel?" my wolf asked.

"Do you feel lonely? Ever since she’s gone, nothing seems interesting enough," I said, staring out the window.

"I know Clementine and her squad have trouble, but that doesn’t seem enough," my wolf added. I nodded, he was right.

It wouldn’t be too much of a punishment.

"Do you think Oriana got her hands on something magical?" I whispered, knowing no one else could hear me.

"What if she did? What does it mean for us?" my wolf asked.

"If she can control someone, why can’t we do something magical to bring Suki back?" I asked, my hands shaking as I remembered that night.

Losing her had been the hardest thing I’d ever experienced.

I tried to move on.

During the vacation, I did everything I had enjoyed before coming to the North, partying, playing golf, running around, boxing, but nothing worked.

At one point, I even stopped trying.

My eyes were fixed on the house. Soon it began to rain, but even the downpour couldn’t blur my vision.

The house with the underground tunnel.

I turned around and wandered through the living room, passing the Black Squad’s bedroom.

This time they had taken two rooms.

The men refused to share one with Oriana.

In fact, the three of them crammed into a single bed, lying stiffly as if afraid that any open space would be claimed by her.

Furious, Oriana stormed off and took the other room for herself.

Now she was alone in the bedroom, but there was something about her that held my attention.

I stared at her, wondering if she was the only way I could bring Suki back.

After a while, there was a change in the night duty.

The others were supposed to wake up, but I stayed where I was while they took turns through the night.

Clementine’s squad mates didn’t wake her.

They said that since she used more of her strength than the others, she deserved to rest. That struck me as strange.

She had left her old squad, joined a new one, and yet they respected her even more than before.

Still, what puzzled me most was why any of her former squad mates would turn away from someone like Clementine.

"I must admit, she has quite a spark. Her red outfit looked like something worn for revenge." My wolf stirred, but I shook my head.

"I’m not interested in talking about anyone else. You know that. You can’t tempt me," I told him, refusing to let him think he could distract me with someone else just to make me move on.

When Suki died, our bond shattered.

My wolf might not have felt much pain anymore, but I did. I was still hurting. I couldn’t move on from her.

By morning, I already had plans. Everyone was awake and eating breakfast.

Clementine sat with her squad mates, her eyes occasionally on her former ones, probably discussing what we’d talked about the previous night.
