Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 428

Chapter 428: 428-They Are Watching North

Clementine:

"You see this star, one big star with two small star symbols?" I asked Ian as I pointed at the large stone under which my brother rested. He had sat down on the ground with me.

"My mother used to carve it for us on every toy," I added.

Ian wrapped his arm around me, gently pulling me closer to his chest.

"I’m glad I got to meet my mother," I told him.

He cupped my face and then pulled me closer, getting on his knees in front of me and hugging me. I knelt down too. I cried a lot. I did not know why.

I guessed it was because growing up, I had not cried at all. Now I was letting everything out because I knew there was no one left to judge me.

"What do you want to do next?" Ian asked, and I gave him a sad look.

"If I could, I would just sit here for a while, but we don’t have time," I replied and broke the hug.

We stared at each other, then slowly stood up from the ground.

"Ian, you previously said your father was going to get you discharged and send you away," I remarked.

I finished wiping my cheeks and started to wander away with him, heading toward the pack where my destination was.

"That was his way of taking me out of whatever they had planned for the Crusaders," he explained, and I nodded.

"So basically that is what they did with Yorick too. I remember finding out that Yorick and you were special. Could it be that they had planned it? Maybe the Oriana thing as well?" I asked.

He shrugged, looking genuinely confused.

"That still would not make them include Oriana. They would never trust someone like her," Ian commented.

"Or maybe they just played along with her because it helped them get Yorick out of the academy," I suggested.

Once again, Ian shrugged, still looking unsure. From that point onward, we had to stay low.

Ian was the one who found us clothes, something casual. I wore a hat, a loose men’s shirt, and loose pants that I had to tie tightly with a belt so they would not slip.

Ian took an oversized sweater, roughly tied around his biceps, and he also wore a hat.

"So where are we headed?" he asked.

"Straight to the cave," I replied, pointing away from the academy as we began to move.

It was definitely odd being on the mainland without any restrictions. We were able to wander around and even find places where we could get free food.

It felt real. Once in a while, I had a smile on my face, just admiring small things. It also helped that Yorick did not die, but I was worried they had married him to her.

Still, there was one question lingering in the back of both our minds. Why was Oriana not with him in the car?

Finally, one of us had to say it, and it was Ian who brought it up.
