Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 425

Chapter 425: 425-Last Mission Before Freedom

Oriana:

We were declared mates, and everyone watched us. They could not do anything.

In fact, what the Shadow Earth Eater could not do, I did. Miss Rue did it too.

Most of the credit went to her. Actually, all of it went to her.

But one must not forget that I also suffered a lot by my own hands for this purpose.

"With that being said, Yorick, you will be getting discharged from the academy so that you can go and live with your parents and heal. You will be given therapy sessions, and I hope that whatever effects the North left on you, you will recover from them," the headmaster announced.

I noticed how everyone was watching Yorick with wide eyes, almost as if they were wondering what they would need to do to escape this place themselves.

Somewhere along the line, everyone had started to question whether the next mission would be their last.

The presence of all of the ringleaders alone was enough to make that thought linger.

That morning, new furniture had already been ordered.

Fresh paint was being brought in. They were changing the interior and the decor.

It was clear that a new session was about to begin, a new set of crusaders. I felt relieved knowing I had gotten out in time.

I smiled brightly because I knew I was not going to die in the North anymore.

But the moment I noticed everyone staring at me, I realized the smile on my face did not fit the situation. I sniffled and corrected myself.

"I’m happy that we’ve survived so far," I said, forcing my expression to soften, making it seem like I was smiling for all of us who were still standing here alive.

"Well, then I hope you will all return from this mission," the headmaster said. "It’s a simple mission. But first, Yorick may pack your bags and leave. Oriana, if you wish to have a word with him."

I gave him a nod.

"All crusaders should wait at the road to be taken to the train station. Remember, this task is for all of you to complete together. Go to the tunnels, find the Shadow Earth Eater, slay it, and bring her head back. That is all," the headmaster explained clearly.

Everyone nodded lazily. In their eyes, Yorick should not have been discharged.

He had committed a crime and walked free. They said he had gone through a psychic evaluation, and that doctors and psychologists deemed him unfit.

I knew the truth.

I walked with my family toward Yorick’s room while the others went to wait on the road.

"I’ll come back soon," I said to Yorick as he stood in the doorway.

He turned and met my gaze. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"I’ll be desperately waiting," he taunted.

There was something unsettling in his tone, but I ignored it. I was too happy.

I was going to the North and I was going to survive. I would come back, leave this place, and live the life of a Luna.

For the first time, the fear of dying in the North was gone. The North was no longer my problem. I would not end up like Suki.

There was nothing more for me to say to Yorick. His mother made me uncomfortable, so I left the room.
