Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 51

Chapter 51: 51-At The Receiving End Of Hate

Clementine:

"It’s okay, I’ll just go and listen to what she has to say." I told my squadmates because they were now literally giving me looks. I didn’t want to be so hard to reach. Since it was a very serious matter and could become extreme, I wanted to at least know what options we had.

"Okay," Ian said, giving me a head gesture to follow Miss Rue to the side room. However, it was odd because even if he hadn’t done it, I wouldn’t have gone. I have a mind of my own.

I had a brief talk with the ringleaders and was now heading back upstairs. I knew I had done a good job speaking for my squadmates and myself, but I was also aware that some of them might not understand my stance. Still, I was confident that once they heard the terms I had laid out, they would probably respect me for it.

Even so, I had a bad feeling I’d catch some heat from them.

When I walked out, I found the main hall empty. I figured they had been sent back to the dorms. I began walking through the passage toward my room when I suddenly heard someone scream from the Red Squad hallway.

"Clementine!"

It was Oriana, jumping up and down and waving her arms as wide as she could. She was so silly and cute, completely unlike how she looked. She always had this mean energy and expression on her face, but once she started talking, you’d realize she was actually pretty sweet.

I couldn’t even see her face clearly from that far away, so I kept walking back to my dorm.

Once I entered my dorm room, my squadmates, who had been sitting impatiently on their beds or standing by the windows, started moving toward me, almost forming a circle around me.

"What did she say?" Troy asked, looking impatient. His biceps were bulging, had he been working out while I was gone?

"Did she agree to our terms?" Haiden asked, the frown on his forehead deeply pronounced.

"Come on, tell us, Clementine. Did she say we can leave?" Yorick asked, making me turn all the way around to face him.

"What is it?"

Then Ian asked, who hadn’t seemed too optimistic about me talking to Miss Rue, already wearing an expression that said he didn’t believe anything good had come out of the conversation.

But before I could speak, the door behind me opened and Miss Rue walked in.

"So, we’ve decided to give you all a choice," she said, standing with her hands folded under her abdomen.

"What choice?" Haiden asked.

"Whatever choice says we can go home, we’ll pick that one," Ian said, not even willing to hear her out.

"You will be able to leave for home if all of you vote to go," she said, making them glance at each other with bright smiles on their faces. But I didn’t share that smile.
