Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 440

Chapter 440: 440-After 3 Hours

Ian:

I had run to the biggest news channel. Thankfully, it did not take me too long. I wandered around for two hours, though, because Clementine had told me to wait for three hours.

Throughout that time, I had been extremely anxious. When the third hour struck, I looked up at the sky, then closed my eyes.

It was finally time for me to expose the Academy and even my own father.

When I took the first step onto the stairs, it felt like Clementine had made the right decision and that we should have stayed apart.

Then, when I took the second step, my footing began to falter.

It felt like this time I should have listened to Clementine, as if I should have been with her at that moment, but now it was too late.

If I left from here now, it would cause even more trouble, so in a rush, I moved toward the news channel’s door.

As soon as I slammed the door open, the attention of all the employees and workers sitting inside turned toward me.

Maybe that was why they were staring, because they had never seen me in their building before.

Now that I was standing there and saw the confusion on people’s faces, I realized why nothing about the crusaders was ever shown on the news channels, or why no one was told what we were doing in the north.

Yes, alphas and Betas sat comfortably and enjoyed our shows, but the rest of the world knew nothing.

There was only one reason for that. The day the opportunity came, some alphas and my father would quietly expel their sons from the Academy.

And because no one had ever seen us, even if someone spotted us on the road, they would not recognize who we were.

At that moment, it felt as if only we crusaders knew each other.

But in uniform, maybe others could recognize us, because news had come out about some of us, like Clementine, Joshua, and Oriana.

I noticed that it was mostly those who were never meant to be let out of the Academy.

They were supposed to die. That was why their names were made public. But the ones who were meant to leave were always kept quiet.

I stepped through the glass doors of the news channel after everyone had gone back to work. The smell of electronics was overwhelming inside.

A pair of guards near the entrance nodded to greet me, almost as if they did the same for anyone coming in.

"Who is in charge here?" I asked, keeping my voice low but respectful, as I turned toward one of the guards.

One of them stayed in place for a moment before pointing down the hall toward a room filled with monitors.

"The head officer," he replied. "Just head towards the right."

Through the glass walls, I heard the sounds of people moving between desks. They played footage, typed on keyboards, and adjusted sound levels.

I stopped at an office door and, after taking a deep breath, knocked.

"Come in," a voice called from inside. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

I stepped inside. A man sat behind a white cover with files and paperwork. Another person stood nearby, with a screen mounted on the wall beside them.
