Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 488

Chapter 488: 488-Something Gentle

Haiden:

I could hear their conversation, and it did not seem like Ian was even trying to be sneaky. He did not care. I had barely ever seen Ian afraid of anything. It was as if he was always ready to fight. So when I turned around to face him, I saw him looking at me with clear interest.

"I feel like someone has been talking to someone," I remarked, annoyed that he had probably spoken with Fauna and that she must have said something unnecessary.

"Well, yes, we had a conversation. She was just telling me some casual things about how you two used to be very good friends," Ian replied, not hiding the truth.

Troy looked shocked.

"Dude, you said you never liked her," Troy pointed out quickly, calling me out on my lie.

"Well, it does not matter anymore. The friendship was so long ago, when we were just kids, that I do not even remember it. See, that is how little the friendship lasted," I explained, making things up.

That was not true at all. Our friendship had lasted a long time, and we had made good memories. She used to bring me food and save me from punishments sometimes, until things started to turn bitter between us.

The truth was that I could tell from Ian’s eyes that she had told him more about us, maybe even that there was a short time when I liked her. That was before Clementine came into my life. When she arrived, everything changed. I used to bully Clementine. At first, I hated her, but then I grew attached to her.

That was when I completely cut Fauna out of my life, partly because her father had started to push the idea that we should be together. I had a feeling that maybe she had something to do with it. Maybe she told her father that she liked me, and that was why he kept pressuring me about a relationship.

"Anyway, why are we even talking about it? I just need to find Clementine," I muttered, then paused.

Once I thought about it, I did not even have a plan. There was nothing I could do outside the Academy. My back had been stolen, and so had my mate.

"You can take your pack back," Ian suggested, almost as if he had heard my thoughts.

"What?" Troy and I asked at the same time.

Ian gestured with his hand for us to move away from the hallway, to make sure no one could hear our conversation, and we followed. I needed to hear what he was planning. Knowing Ian, he would not say something like that without a reason. He had a clear plan in mind.

Once we were in the large hall, with no one near us and music filling the space, Ian began to speak.

"The reason they are marrying Mariana to Messi is because they want an Alpha for the pack, so that his daughter’s husband will control it," Ian explained.

The moment he started explaining, I already understood where he was going with this.

"No," I replied firmly.

Both of them went silent. Troy tilted his head, and Ian leaned forward, squeezing his eyes shut and giving me a small shake of his head, as if asking me to explain.

"I do not have her in my mind. I was just letting you know because I thought maybe... Okay, whatever. So what were you saying?" I asked, feeling embarrassed and trying to move on. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
