Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 421

Chapter 421: 421-I Accept You, Alpha Yorick

Oriana:

It was the most awkward fifteen minutes of my life. When Yorick arrived and started to throw a huge fit, he was taken away from us.

I looked at the way the others were watching me. I wondered what they were thinking. They were probably feeling bad for me, and I hated it. I did not want to be that pitiful girl anymore. I wanted to be the woman who would be Luna.

I kept my hands tied in front of my body, looking timid in the presence of everyone, while Yorick’s mother went into the basement to have a word with him.

When I heard footsteps coming upstairs, my heart started to thump harder in my chest. I wondered what he had decided. What if he accepted the death penalty? That would be terrible.

However, the minute they arrived and his mother gave a nod to the headmaster, I let out a deep breath in secrecy. He was ready. I wanted to smile, but that would catch attention.

Yorick walked up and stood straight in front of me. There seemed to be fire in his eyes, but I did not care.

He would be angry for a little while, and then he would have to give in. I always believed no one could resist their mate. And after he marked me, even if I was his chosen mate, I would still be bonded to him.

"So, Yorick, I hope you understand this punishment is necessary. She is the kindest one to give you the least extreme punishment, otherwise your fate was to die in front of everyone in disgrace," my stepmother stated, stepping forward to explain why this punishment was chosen.

I had heard her tell me that a lot of people were complaining about why they decided to get me married to my rapist. They did not like it.

They thought it was a reward instead of a punishment. However, my stepmother told them the reason was that Yorick had been mentally challenged after visiting the North, in which case he was not entirely to be blamed.

But since a crime was committed and I was traumatized too, it was better if some punishment was given to Yorick.

As Yorick stood in front of me, I tried hard not to smile. In fact, I tried hard not to smirk in his face. I wanted to remind him of his words, the way he threatened me the other day, telling me to stay away from Clementine.

And now here he was, standing so close to me, unable to escape. I wanted to laugh because, to be honest, he would be out of the list of the men Clementine would ever choose from.

Yorick proceeded with accepting me. He stepped forward. I briefly noticed his friends standing at a distance and watching him. Everybody else was ready to gossip about this moment.

"I, Alpha Yorick Bane, accept Oriana as my chosen mate," he finished without any shakiness in his voice, and my body shuddered at the confidence he was suddenly displaying.

"Oriana, you may go ahead now," the headmaster stated.
