Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 357

Chapter 357: 357-I Found The Ringleaders Theater

Clementine:

She was moving her arms in panic, trying to reach the surface, but the scale remained stuck in her thigh.

The moment she saw me, a small flash of hope appeared in her eyes. I reached her and pressed my sword against the scale, trying to cut it free.

But the force of the water pushed against me without stopping.

Mira’s breathing started to weaken. Panic grew inside me because she did not seem to have much time left.

Then I heard another splash in the water. I turned quickly and saw Ian swimming toward us.

He grabbed my arm first and pushed me upward, pointing toward the surface to show that I needed air.

In his other hand he held a dagger. The blade shone clearly in the water.

It was a golden dagger with a silver carving on it.

I swam up to breathe and filled my lungs before diving back down.

When I reached them again, I saw Ian cutting the scale as fast as he could.

Even though I had stopped myself from questioning him about his wolf, I could not ignore how powerful he looked while cutting through the scale.

The monster began to shake hard. It threw another burst of water upward, but I stayed under this time and held my place.

Ian sliced the scale free, but it started to grow back immediately. At least Mira was free now.

She cried out in pain. Ian pulled her upward, trying to get her to the surface.

I swam close behind him. Once we were a little farther from the monster, I saw it dive down and swing its tail again outside the water.

This time it did not hit anyone, but Mira was still trapped in the water with us.

"Take her there," I urged him, pointing toward a far and safer area.

I knew the monster would rise again and start thrashing the water.

"What about you?" Ian asked.

His voice held tension that made the moment even harder. We were still surrounded by the monster’s movements.

"She is dying. Save her first. I will be fine," I replied, trying to reassure him.

He nodded and wrapped an arm around Mira.

Her head rested weakly on his shoulder. Her skin had turned pale. The scale had poisoned her.

As Ian began to swim away with her, I turned back toward the monster once again.

I watched Ian reach the safer place with Mira’s head resting on his shoulder.

As soon as he stepped out of the water, the black squad and the rest of the red squad rushed toward him.

Once I noticed that they had lifted her and started to run off to take a brief break before returning, I turned my attention to the monster and lifted my sword again.

The crusaders probably expected me to join them, but I could not waste more time.

My arms felt heavy, yet I forced myself to swim forward.

Before I reached the middle of the river, the monster dove down again.

The water around me shook. A strong burst came from underneath, followed by another splash that struck my body.

The force pushed me back without warning. I tried to swim against it, but the pressure grew stronger with each second.

The current carried me far from the main bank, and I could not control my direction anymore.

At that point, I let the water move me, but I knew I needed to take hold of something.

The river dragged me toward a rocky side area I had never explored.
