Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 431

Chapter 431: 431-Betrayal Tastes The Worse

Oriana:

I noticed the way Joshua turned to leave, and I ran after him. What if he needed help? If Clementine were alone, that would have been better. But with Ian with her, it would be far more difficult for Joshua to take her from right under his watch. There was no way Clementine was strong enough to fight anyone alone. She always needed backup. Always.

"Who are you fooling?" my wolf snapped, making me roll my eyes.

We reached the entrance of the cave when Joshua suddenly tugged at my arm.

"What?" I asked as he slowed, letting me move ahead before pulling me back, almost hiding me behind the wall.

"Do you not hear it?" he questioned, irritated that I was not paying attention.

"Hear what?" I replied, frowning as I leaned toward where he pointed.

"I do not know. It is scary. I am not leaving this place," Mira complained to Renee and Sebastian. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

They were standing right at the entrance.

"Oh," I murmured, nodding to Joshua as I understood why he had stopped us. We could not leave.

"Where is Haiden and Troy?" I asked in a whisper.

"I have a bad feeling those two are busy trying to find the Shadow earth eater, and they might succeed," Joshua whispered before elbowing me.

"What?" I asked, straightening my posture.

"Go ahead. Ask them and try to get information out of those three," Joshua insisted.

Since he was an alpha, if he rushed toward the entrance, the others would think he was scared and leaving. That meant I had to be the one to step out.

I rolled my eyes and dramatically placed a hand on my stomach before dragging myself forward. The three of them looked at me and instantly rushed over.

"Are you okay, Oriana?" Renee asked, helping me lean against the wall.

"Yeah, I do not know what is going on. Ever since what Yorick did," I paused dramatically, turning my face away and biting my bottom lip.

Every time I mentioned Yorick, the same look of hatred crossed their faces. That was fine. He did not need to be loved by everyone. I would give him enough love to feel fulfilled.

"By the way, where is everyone else? Is everybody fine?" I asked, pretending to worry.

"Troy and Haiden sensed strong energy from one corner, so they are probably close to finding the Shadow Earth Eater. We don’t know where Joshua is. But do not worry, Haiden and Troy got it," Mira explained, patting my shoulder. "Why don’t you come with us? We decided to take a short break at the house and then return."

"Oh no, no," I replied quickly. "I want to keep working. I need to stay busy to clear my mind," I added, sniffing.

"Anyway, you can all go rest," I told them, waving them off.

I could tell they did not think it was a good idea for me to head back into the tunnel, but I kept up the act, dragging myself away. Once I was sure they had turned the corner, I rushed toward Joshua. He had already moved deeper into the tunnel.
