Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 434

Chapter 434: 434-Having My Lover Back

Joshua:

I watched Oriana pass out, then stepped away. I had done my job. Now it was the Shadow Earth Eater’s duty to do her bidding, to do her job. I had listened to Oriana’s pleadings. I listened to everything. I even saw the fear in her eyes. It was the same kind of fear I had once seen in Suki’s eyes, but there was a difference. Oriana could never be Suki. Suki was innocent. Suki was my mate.

"Ready to meet your beloved mate after so many months?" the Shadow Earth eater asked, and I anxiously rubbed my palms together.

"But before that, I must remind you. You will need to help me escape those two alphas who are running through the tunnels, trying to get to me to kill me," she added.

I quickly nodded my head.

"We can always fool them with some Earth eater’s head," I replied, letting her know she did not need to fear, since they had never seen the Shadow Earth eater.

She considered it for a moment, then nodded, almost as if impressed by the way my mind worked.

"I knew you were a better choice and companion than Oriana," she remarked.

At this point, I was growing tired of her. I knew for a fact she could not read my mind. I had blocked out most of my thoughts at that moment. Even if there were any thoughts left, she could not read them. I was shutting her out.

"So when can Suki show her presence?" I asked, my tone edged with agitation.

"Why not now?" she replied, and my eyes narrowed with excitement.

She then began circling Oriana’s body. My breath quickened in my chest. My eyes searched for my beautiful mate.

It would be harder for me to accept her in Oriana’s body, but that was the truth. I never loved Suki for her body.

I loved her for who she was. Even when I knew she had betrayed me, even when I knew she was not as innocent as I once claimed to others, it did not matter. To me, she was everything. The most innocent one of all.

Then I watched the Earth eater begin to step back. As the Shadow Earth eater continued to retreat, my heart pounded louder in my chest.

I noticed Oriana’s finger twitch. Goosebumps covered my skin again. I straightened my posture, watching her closely. Slowly, she pushed herself up. However, her movements were disoriented, almost as if she did not know how to control her own body. That was how I knew this was not Oriana anymore.

"My head hurts," Oriana murmured, her voice gentle, carrying the same hint of sweetness as Suki’s.

She looked around, then down at her hands. I watched as she stared at them for a moment, making fists and releasing them. Then she glanced down and touched her clothes.

"Why am I in a black outfit?" she questioned.

I smiled and looked toward the Shadow Earth eater, who moved within the shadows. It was my Suki now.

Suki lifted her head and looked at me.

"What is going on?" she gasped, covering her mouth. "Wait, how am I alive? What is happening?"

She touched her hair, pulling it forward to look at it, then frowned at its color.

"What is going on?" she repeated, running her hands over herself. "How am I alive again? I was dead. I died. Did you?"
