Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 52

Chapter 52: 52-They Call Me A Monster

Clementine:

Haiden now stepped back, pacing aggressively across the room. At the same time, Ian was glaring at me like he wanted to kill me. Then there were Troy and Yorick, who both looked really hurt.

It seemed like I had a choice, but I didn’t.

"You know what they said to me back when they took me to the basement?" I started to speak, just as they began walking toward the door.

"Shut the fuck up," Ian yelled, turning around. "You almost got us killed. If you didn’t want to be part of this, you should’ve stayed behind, not gone there and ditched us!"

"And if any one of us dies in the North, our blood will be on your hands," Haiden added, reminding me that we’d be going back to the North again in the future.

"You think they would’ve let us go just because you said you wanted to quit?" I tried to speak up again but then got intervened. Haiden lunged at me so suddenly that I backed into the wall and hit my head. He didn’t touch me, but the way he came at me was so terrifying, I had no choice but to step back.

I instantly grimaced and placed my hand on the back of my head, rubbing my scalp.

"No more words," he said. "And you know what, little Miss Clementine?" He leaned down, placing his hands on his knees so he could meet me at eye level, making direct eye contact. "Since you love North so much, we will be leaving you there this time," he hissed.

"Our mission will be slaying the monster among us," Ian said, clearly calling me a monster.

Yorick was the last one to leave, and he had to have the final word.

In a hurt tone, he said, "One of these days, you really need to start behaving. Because Clementine, this kind of behavior will get you killed. When you talk about a squad—trust and loyalty matter."

Then he slammed the door shut and left the room.

I stayed in the room for a while before leaving for lunch. We were all asked to be at our tables, so I walked out, feeling defeated.

Once I reached the hall, I realized everyone was already seated and the food had been served before anyone arrived. There were large trays filled with steaks, sushi rolls, dumplings, and other food items. It looked like a good treat, to be honest.

As I began walking toward my team, Haiden extended his leg, raised it, and placed it on my seat, blocking my path to sit down. I grabbed my tray of food and looked around. Everyone was now watching me. They could clearly see my squad mates didn’t want me to sit with them.

"Clementine, come sit with us," Oriana spoke up, gesturing to me. Her table was right next to ours, and they had a spare chair. So I grabbed my things and went to sit with her. I sat down and placed my food, awkwardly playing with the chilies using my fork.

"Are you and your squadmates okay?" she asked.

"Yeah, it’s just that we have a lot of disagreements." I continued avoiding eye contact, keeping my head down.
