Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 389

Chapter 389: 389-The Betrayal Makes Me Angry

Clementine:

I kept watching her face, and she kept staring back at me. Then I remembered.

She had told me her sister had died because of the Academy, and it all hit me at once.

My expressions must have shown her that I remembered because Miss Rue began to nod her head.

"Exactly," she whispered, keeping her eyes locked on my face.

"You killed my sister!" she screamed.

I gasped, stepping back and away from the metal gate.

My hands opened and closed beside my body, trying to release the tension, but it did not help.

"She was innocent. She was dragged into this Academy just like the rest of you. But you," she paused, taking such heavy breaths that I could hear the wheezing in her breathing. Then she pointed at me. "You are the reason she died." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

I stared at her in disbelief. All this time, I had been worried about the monsters.

I never thought someone in the Academy had been waiting for my fall. I never thought the danger would come from her.

"You could have saved her," she uttered.

"I did. I tried to. I was helping her, but she wanted my flags," I replied, trying to explain myself.

I thought that incident had been long forgotten by everyone.

Even when others blamed me for it, I never felt the need to explain it again because I knew I had not done anything wrong.

But it did not seem like that was how others perceived it. She was still holding on to it.

And the fact that I never found out she was related to her shocked me.

"Really? So she wanted your flags and you decided to kill her? For fuck’s sake, Clementine, she was scared," she screamed.

I rubbed my face with my hands.

"So was I," I whispered. "And I did not kill her. I tried to save her. She was attacking me. I was defending myself."

I tried again and again, but Miss Rue kept shaking her head. I understood now.

None of these people wanted to admit that the fault was their own relatives or the Academy for putting us in situations like this.

They wanted to fight the one everyone was already against just to satisfy their own ego and convince themselves that they had taken revenge.

"Now die here. This is where you deserve to be." Her tone changed and she stopped crying in front of me.

"What are you trying to do?" I asked as she clicked her tongue and smiled in a strange way.

"You wanted so badly to survive the transition stage that you killed my sister. You became the monster that night, Clementine. Now you stay here with the monsters because you are one of them."

As soon as she said that, I watched her reach behind her coat and pull out a gun.

That was the last thing I expected.

I thought she would leave me behind without a key to cross the path, but the barrel glinted between the bars and I realized she was not planning to leave me alive.

Before I could react, she aimed directly and fired.
