Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 239

Chapter 239: 239-The Scientist Couple

Clementine:

As we were let in, I noticed it was much calmer here, unlike at Troy’s or Haiden’s place. Those people were really enjoying themselves. But for Yorick, it was just his mother in view, and I could tell she was preparing a home-cooked meal.

I guess that’s what real vacations should be like, spending time with your loved ones instead of the ones who make your life miserable.

"Yorick, come out, see who’s here to see you," his mother called, rubbing her palms anxiously. "Jill, come out, see who we have here."

As soon as she called her mate, I began to worry. I remembered she said her husband would be excited to see me, and I could only assume she was being sarcastic.

They didn’t like me before, probably because of my father’s actions and the fact that I had hurt their son by cheating on him.

The door opened, and before Yorick could come out, his father did.

"Who is it?" he asked, tucking in his shirt with his head down, focusing on the buttons.

"See for yourself." As soon as she said that, she stepped aside. Haiden, Troy, and I stood in line. Lord Jill raised his head and did a double take, staring straight at me.

"Isn’t this the girl who broke my son’s heart?" He immediately pointed at me, calling me out.

"Actually, it was me." Troy stepped forward, stopping the old man from coming at me.

"What? Our son was sleeping with you?" Lady Rimi asked, exchanging a look with her husband.

The excitement in his father’s eyes faded when Troy quickly shook his head.

"Ew, no," he said loudly. "I’m straight. I meant she didn’t cheat on him. The rumor was started by me."

Troy added that quickly, avoiding both my eyes and his parents’. His parents began communicating silently. They weren’t bad people, but I never liked how they spoke with just their eyes when guests were around. It always made others uncomfortable.

"Why did you do that? Is it because you have feelings for our son?" Lady Rimi asked.

"No," Troy groaned, scratching the back of his neck while trying to think of an excuse. "I had a crush on Clementine."

He finally said it, dropping his hand and looking away. Silence filled the room.

"Awkward," Haiden muttered.

I guess it wasn’t just that, but he had used something that was partly true.

"I don’t know what to say. Does Yorick know about it?" Lady Rimi asked Troy.

They didn’t show the same aggression toward him for breaking their son’s heart as they had shown toward me in the past.

"What are you guys doing here?" he suddenly asked, his eyes mostly focused on me, as if he was more upset that I was here than anyone else. Or maybe he thought his parents would yell at me.

"Um, the headmaster told us to fetch you. We’re going back to the academy," Haiden explained, giving him a look that told him not to ask more questions in front of his parents.

"Well, then you all didn’t have to come to get me. Either one of you two would’ve been fine," Yorick said, pointing at Troy and Haiden, clearly singling me out.

He really didn’t want me inside his cabin, but I guessed he was just worried about me and the bullying I’d face.

"It’s alright. We had a talk with your parents," Haiden spoke again, giving him another look.

It was so awkward. On top of that, his parents were extremely observant. They noticed every small gesture or bit of body language.

"Still, anyway, you guys should go and wait for me in the car. I’ll go grab my bag," Yorick said.

He didn’t even greet me, and that bothered me more than I wanted to admit. Haiden had literally told him everything was fine, and he could see his parents weren’t mad at me. They were just standing there, smiling, yet Yorick kept acting dismissive.

My mood soured, and I was ready to leave. But the minute I turned around, I noticed a lurker walking toward us, and I immediately had a bad feeling about it.

He showed a message to Haiden, who read it out loud. The headmaster wanted us to stay here until the rain stopped and the weather cleared up. It was mainly because storms in the mainland could get so bad that hail would start and cause serious damage.

"Really?" Yorick groaned, throwing a fit as he raised his hands and then dropped them down.
