Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 449

Chapter 449: 449-I Am Exposed And Disrespected

Miss Rue:

Ever since Oriana and the others came back from the North, I had been waiting for a moment to speak with her.

When I saw that she had also killed the Shadow Earth Eater, I realized she must have spoken her wish.

There was no way Oriana would be stupid enough not to uphold the deal and kill the Shadow Earth Eater before using her last wish.

The problem began when Ian barged in.

I remembered clearly that I had asked her to tell the Shadow Earth Eater to kill both of them, because I had a feeling that if Clementine had met Ian then Clementine must have told him everything about me.

A few hours later, things changed when Ian went live on the biggest show and exposed everything about the Academy, the North, and the monsters.

When I watched him go on alone and noticed Clementine was not with him, I thought that maybe Oriana could not get the Shadow Earth Eater to kill both Ian and Clementine.

Or maybe Ian and Clementine never saw each other and Ian had to leave the North disappointed.

That might have been why he became aggressive and exposed everything. By then, everything was already over for me.

Once Ian asked his father where Clementine was, and said the last time he saw her was when she was leaving to meet the council members, I knew Ian and Clementine had been together.

I slipped into the basement to avoid Ian’s attention. I knew the moment he saw me, he would start screaming.

I stayed there until I was certain he had left with his father. When I came out, everyone else had gone to their rooms.

The ringleaders were told to gather the lurkers and inform them that their service would not be needed for now.

There was no way anyone could be sent back to the North, at least not until we were certain how people were reacting.

I called Oriana to speak with her because she had avoided me like a plague. When she finally faced me, she showed her true self. I was enraged. I felt betrayed, like a fool.

"Miss Rue, you have not said a word," Miss Lenora remarked as we sat at the table together.

I was looking outside the hall’s windows.

"I’m sorry, what were you all talking about?" I asked.

A whole day had passed, and I had not been able to get Oriana’s words and tone out of my head. She had fooled me.

I helped her out of the academy, and here I was with nothing. Soon, Ian would come back, and it would be chaos. I did not know what I was waiting for at this point.

I had tried to leave earlier, but Mr. Rick saw me and practically dragged me here to have a cup of tea with him.

"I was saying that the very first time I laid my eyes on Clementine, I had a feeling she would be trouble," Ms. Lenora uttered, earning nods from everyone.

"Wait until they start talking about the green squad," Mr. Rick hissed.

I remembered the green squad. They were the ones who found out the academy had been watching them the entire time.

"Wasn’t it you, Mr. Rick, who went in there and killed all three of them?" I asked.

The moment I said those words, Mr. Rick snapped his head up and glared at me.

"Come on, Rue. We talked about this. We will never mention it," he replied. "It was a small mistake. We let information slip, and they caught on. We had to kill them, because if the headmaster had found out that we had slipped information, he would have fired us."

Ms. Lenora tried to justify the killing of three boys out of fear of the headmaster finding out.

"Right," I said, noticing the way everyone was looking at me.

"And it seems Miss Rue is really sad about the academy closing. Maybe she was enjoying it a little too much," Mr. Rick commented.

Obviously, he would strike back.

"I’m not the one who was harsh toward the crusaders. I was everyone’s favorite," I mumbled, clicking my tongue.

The blue and green squad ringleaders watched us in silence.

That was when the door to the hall opened, and the headmaster walked in. I immediately stood up.

From the way they were grunting, I knew I had to get out of Ian’s sight. I had a feeling they had left the council’s office disappointed.

And knowing Ian, he would take his anger out on me, the one who had last shot Clementine.

As soon as I rushed toward the basement, I felt a pull on my hand. When I looked up, I saw Mr. Rick grabbing my arm and smirking.

There was only one thing I could do. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
