Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 40

Chapter 40: 40-Not Leaving My Mate Behind.

Clementine:

After we arrived at the station again, the other crusaders started to show up one day later. That one day was difficult to get through. None of us spoke to each other. We all kept a good distance, sleeping on the benches for the rest of the day.

Yorick would pace around his area and occasionally punch the pillars or the walls. No one checked on him because we were all still angry with each other.

Ian was the messy one. He would hum a melody, almost like he was taunting us. Then he would wander off, go missing for a few hours, and return. He was a mess.

Eventually, the other crusaders began to arrive. The red ones came first, and I didn’t see the pregnant girl among them. That’s when I realized Haiden had also been missing for a while.

The white crusaders, along with the blue and green teams, all showed up. There were five teams in total.

Then they asked if anyone had slain the monster. Ian stepped forward and told them that we had, but we didn’t go into specifics. That would be discussed once we were back on the mainland.

Now the train was coming again.

During those few hours with the other crusaders present, I noticed Joshua and Suki being very intimate. I remembered she had cheated on him, so my eyes naturally wandered. I spotted one guy from their own squad watching them a little too closely. I also noticed Suki making eye contact with him.

I wondered if he was the guy. He had curly red hair and a lot of freckles. He was good-looking, with a fuller face, an innocent type, not someone you’d expect in the bad boy group. I felt bad for him. If he got dragged into this mess, I was sure others would turn on him just to stay in Joshua’s good books. Joshua had the typical appearance of a bully.

"Let’s board the train," said the Red Squad leader, who I assumed was the leader, to her crusaders, without mentioning anything about the missing girl.

I began to look into the distance, hoping Haiden would appear with his girl.

"Guys," I said, trying to get the attention of my crusaders and my squadmates.

But then I noticed Troy and Yorick were bumping shoulders as they tried to get in. They kept doing it, and the other squads started to notice.

"Hey, what’s going on?" one of the guys from the Blue Squad asked, as both Troy and Yorick started putting their hands on each other.

I guessed they were finally done with the silent treatment and had decided to take it too far again.

"Guys, we are missing Haiden!" I screamed. But they didn’t pay attention.

By now, all the other crusaders had begun gathering around them in a circle at the entrance of the train.

"No, you’re a fucking idiot, you know that?" I heard Yorick scream at Troy.

"Oh, really? Just because I exposed your truth?" Troy shot back.

I shook my head. This wasn’t going well. We needed to go and find Haiden, and here they were, fighting about something that didn’t even deserve attention.

There was nothing left to discuss. They both had lied. They both had played. So what were they even angry about? Just the fact that they exposed each other?

"Fuck it," I groaned, turning around and hastily walking away from the train.

"Where do you think you’re going?" I heard Ian yell. This was the first time he had actually intervened in anyone’s business. Usually, he didn’t care.

I turned to him and gave him a look.

"We’re missing Haiden," I said.

He shrugged. "So? If he doesn’t care, why should we care?"

So nonchalant. No care for anyone.
