Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 417

Chapter 417: 417-Our Perfect Wedding

Clementine:

I took a deep breath and then pushed the door open to the antique shop.

The minute I stepped inside, I held my breath. The air was still and cold, as if no life had ever existed here.

A thin layer of dust covered the shelves. I was glad I was holding my breath because I did not want to breathe in this dusty air.

As I moved toward my left, I heard the wood creak beneath my boots.

Chandeliers hung from different corners, but the one in the middle caught my attention.

It was beautiful, but all the candles were unlit. I began to notice smoke forming in the distance.

Some drifted on the ceiling and some slid down the walls.

They moved toward me, but I kept my lips pressed tightly and forced myself not to breathe in.

I noticed the difference. Ian was right. They did not immediately rush at me.

They lingered around, waiting for me to make a mistake.

I kept moving to the left. I noticed the old clocks, bronze statues, and vases with chipped rims.

A tall mirror leaned against the wall with a cracked frame. I stopped for a few seconds to touch the skin under my eyes.

They were swollen and red. My chest started to tighten with the urge to breathe.

As I stepped past one of the tables, I noticed jewelry on it. I stared at it for a moment before picking one piece.

It was a black diamond, and I had to take it. My groom would need it. I put it in my pocket and continued to step forward.

My back was still bare, so I could feel the Fades touch my skin. A chill ran up and down my spine each time they brushed against me.

Finally, I reached the area Ian was talking about. A big closet stood at the end of the left side.

It had glass doors fogged with dust. I reached for the handle and pulled, but it stayed shut.

The lock rattled, and I rolled my eyes because even if it was tightened with a strong lock, I could open it.

The minute I turned it, the closet opened.

My fingers started to tremble because my throat was burning from holding my breath.

Inside, rows of suits were arranged. The one that caught my attention had a black coat with patterns that looked carved into the fabric rather than stitched.

The inner lining was deep red and had a smooth shine. The vest had silver buttons, and thin chains crossed from one side to the other.

The gloves were dark with metallic details at the wrist. The trousers were tailored and straight. The suit looked grand and expensive.

I grabbed it off the rail quickly. The Fades moved around me more often now.

They could probably sense that I was losing my breath. I turned around and rushed toward the door.

I did not stop, even when the Fades chased after me.

When I reached the door, Ian was already holding it open for me. I pushed myself out, and once outside, I took deep and heavy breaths.
