Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 142

Chapter 142: 142-Requesting Her Head

Clementine:

"We hear your concerns, and it is unfortunate that instead of being crusaders, being each other’s support, you all decided to act just like monsters," Mr. Rick said, mostly speaking to his own squadmates. I guess they were surprised, because they didn’t think they’d actually be held accountable.

"Clementine’s recollection of events is wrong," Jack stepped forward, saying my name.

"She’s not the only one who saw it. So keep her name out of your fucking mouth," Yorick hissed at him, making the other ringleaders and squad members look at us.

"Actually, Alpha Yorick is right. Clementine isn’t the only one who saw it. I saw it too. The White Squad was messy. And Jack was the one who handed Xenia the rock, so I don’t know why he’s still here and not being punished," Oriana said confidently. I had to give it to her. Even though she never knew when to shut up, sometimes it worked in our favor.

"We can attest to it," Melanie’s squadmates added, raising their hands. Green Squad had three boys left, all soft-spoken. I was afraid I was sensing some Omega scent on them, which would be disastrous for them.

"What makes you say that?" Lenora asked, folding her arms.

But Mr. Brian, their ringleader, finally spoke up for them.

"That is not true. We take bullying very seriously. This isn’t supposed to be a high school experience. It’s an academy where we train crusaders to go into the North, fight monsters, and save the rest of the world from destruction." Mr. Brian’s statement was supportive and sweet, but it was all a lie.

"Actually, that’s not true," a girl from Blue Squad spoke up.

"Excuse me," her ringleader, Anna, stepped forward, trying to stop her from arguing.

"No. We remember when Clementine was getting bullied. You guys outed her in front of everyone. So how can you say bullying is actually being dealt with? And look at the White Squad. Everyone keeps telling you they’ve been messy, but they’re still standing here. All you do is say you’re sorry." The girl sounded exhausted and pissed. I guess it was because her best friend, from what I’d heard, had turned into a statue too. So she was grieving, and for once she didn’t care about the ringleaders. She was saying all the things she’d never dared to say before.

"Who said we are not going to do anything about the bullying?" Mr. Rick finally broke the silence after being questioned by everyone. The white squad was giving everyone harsh glares until Mr. Rick clapped his hands to get their attention.

"Everyone will head back to their packs like we promised, to enjoy a peaceful time, except for my squad." As soon as he said that, the celebratory smiles on the white squad’s faces vanished.

"Can I have a request?" I asked. Haiden instantly started nodding. Yorick turned slightly so I could see his half profile, and I knew he was listening. Ian was in front of them, standing ahead of Troy and Yorick.

"You can ask me anything," Haiden replied, hands in his pockets.

"Can I take your sister’s head with me to my pack?" I knew I was crossing the line asking that. His face went neutral, no emotion for a moment.

"I just want to do one last thing, but I want you to trust me," I added quickly. He began nodding again.

"I know, I know. She will be much safer with you than anybody else." Him not questioning me once just showed the trust he had in me now. And it was odd. I was never trusted, so it felt like a huge responsibility.

"Haiden, if it works, your sister will be back to you without any tears, and she will finally be able to rest," I said, mentioning the fact that the red tears were still running down her face. That was the strangest thing. They never spilled onto the ground. They just got absorbed into her cheeks.

Haiden looked impressed, and I could tell he wanted to know more, but he decided to trust me like I asked him to. And then we just signed our papers.
