Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 49

Chapter 49: 49-Ian’s Plan

Clementine:

"What do you mean?" Yorick asked.

"It’s a pretty simple meaning, isn’t it? You’re a crusader, come on, figure it out." Ian got up and crouched down, reaching under his bed to pull out his trunk. He opened it and took out his bag.

"What are you doing, dude?" Troy got up instantly to block the door, because we all knew what Ian’s next move was going to be.

Honestly, I didn’t protest. I wanted him gone. If he wanted to leave, he could leave. I definitely wouldn’t have left him behind in the North, where he could die, but here, if he wanted to go, he could. He wasn’t doing anything to help us anyway.

"I am done playing the game of Crusaders. We are not their warriors. We were never trained for it. Why won’t they send their own warriors to the North to fight?" Ian pointed at his chest, likely reminding Troy, who had earlier said we weren’t just teenagers that we still were.

"Yeah, but dude, there’s nothing we can do. Literally nothing. They would put a bullet in our head," Troy said, stretching his arms out to block him.

That was when Yorick stood up too, his mouth full of biscuit he was chewing quickly so he could say something. I stayed seated, even leaned back a little to get a good view of them. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"Well, then the bullet is what it takes for me to be free of this hell of a place," Ian hissed, his eyes burning with defiance. He looked ready to rebel.

I guess I was right when I said Ian never fully accepted the role. While I had already given up and decided to do whatever it took to survive, he had made his choice: he would rather die than be part of their games.

"Do you think we wanted to be crusaders?" Yorick finally swallowed the last of his biscuit and spoke up.

"Then why are you accepting it so easily, as if your life means nothing?" Ian shot back, likely pointing out that they weren’t taken from cages like he and I were, we were dragged here in our sleep.

"That’s because we know that to survive, we have to adapt. And honestly, I’m an Alpha. Alphas go out to war every day." Yorick had a solid reason for staying part of the Crusaders.
