Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 87

Chapter 87: 87-A New Mission And No Time To Rest

Clementine:

I was waiting for the car to arrive, and while doing so, I stood on the road, watching the omegas walk past me, the warriors leaving for the training ground, and the couples holding their kids and bags as they headed to drop them off at school. Life was going on normally, but then something happened. As I stood there, admiring the beautiful weather with a gentle wind blowing and the sun peeking through the clouds every now and then, I felt my entire world shake. It was the craziest earthquake I had ever experienced, to the point that I had to kneel down just to keep from falling. Others screamed, and the kids began to pray to the moon goddess for mercy. It was a terrifying moment. Then my eyes moved to the sky, and for a moment, it looked like it was turning bright red. I had a feeling it was connected to the North. Once the earthquake finally settled, the car arrived.

"Get inside."

It was Troy who opened the door to the back, where I was supposed to sit with him. I instantly climbed in, and the moment I did, I realized I had messed up just a little. Haiden had left a seat for me right next to him. How did I know that? Because the minute I sat in the back with Troy and Yorick, I saw Haiden turn his head, all the way back, and stare at me. Ian was in the passenger seat today. I don’t know how he convinced the warrior to sit in the other car, but he did. It was odd. Being back with them felt like going back to school.

"Did you feel it?" Troy asked.

"The earthquake? Yeah, I did. It was crazy," I replied. At least we were able to communicate without taunting each other, or so I thought.

"Really? Crazier than the fact that you have zero emotions?" I heard Yorick’s comment before I noticed Haiden turned around from his side, almost like he was checking him.

"What? I get to say whatever I want. Just because she’s your mate doesn’t mean you have to act all aggressive now. You two aren’t getting together, so don’t act like you own her or you’re her bodyguard." Yorick was so loud with the way he started yapping, and then I heard Ian laugh from the front seat. He was so annoying.

"Don’t mutter those words to me. You’re not my boss. You don’t get to decide if we’re getting back together, or not. You don’t even know that. As for your behavior, you better fix it with her," Haiden hissed, warning Yorick. I have never had anyone argue for me, so I was frozen.

"Stop arguing you two. Let’s focus on the earthquake, I wonder what’s going on," Troy said, checking on Yorick before his eyes moved to Haiden, then back to me as he mouthed, "Are you okay?"

I gave him a small nod and leaned back in my chair.

Before we knew it, other cars joined us as the road merged toward the academy. I saw members of the Red Squad, the White Squad, and the others, all packed into cars. We were finally back where we belonged. We could pretend our lives outside were different, but they really weren’t. We were still prisoners who had just been granted a few days of family visitation. That’s what I’d call it.

Once we reached the academy, we were stopped at the barbed fence gate. Ms. Lenora stood at the entrance with Mr. Rick. They were checking everyone’s bags, tossing new items to the side. It annoyed me.

"Oh my," Haiden grunted. "I brought quite a lot of new stuff," he complained. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Others began nodding.

"Me too," I said, and I watched Ian finally turn his head to look at me. He stood a few steps ahead of us, while we lined up behind him, probably so we couldn’t see his facial expressions. He gave me a look, and I just shrugged, silently asking what his problem was.
