Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 499

Chapter 499: 499-Only Going To Reject Her

Haiden:

"She found her mate last night?" It was the headmaster who quickly approached me and asked the question. We walked out again to keep talking.

I had not realized that he had walked out of the mansion after us at the same time to listen to us. I anxiously cleared my throat.

"Yes, she had," I replied, stealing glances at the headmaster.

Even though I was angry with him for putting us all through that, the fact that a simple question from him sounded like an order, and I responded right away, made me realize how much we had depended on his authority over the last year and a few months.

"And how would you know that? Did she tell you?" Ian asked, his hands on his waist as he tilted his head and narrowed his eyes.

Without blinking, he waited for me to respond. The longer his eyes stayed on me, the more anxious I felt.

"My son asked you a question," the headmaster snapped, pulling me out of my thoughts.

"Yes, last night she was in my room, and she told me that she had found her mate," I muttered, still unable to look into their eyes.

"And why would she come into your room to tell you that?" the headmaster continued, his questions turning harsher. Being an experienced man gave him the confidence to explore topics we youngsters avoided.

"Haiden," Ian warned.

This time his eyes told me that he was starting to suspect the answer.

"That is because I am the one she felt a bond with," I said under my breath. Then I turned my back to them, avoiding their gaze as if not looking at them would make things easier.

There was a brief silence before Ian let out a low grunt.

"And you did not think about telling us that?" he hissed.

"What am I supposed to tell you? I do not acknowledge it, and I do not trust her," I replied quickly while they watched me with disbelief in their eyes.

"Look, Haiden, I am not going to tell you what to do with your mate, but I will tell you this. When a woman claims she is your mate, at least ask her a few questions," the headmaster told me sharply. "Besides, if it is true, then why did she not tell her father?" he asked.

Once again, their eyes rested on me. Ian looked at me in a way that made it clear he suspected I was the reason she had not told anyone about the mate bond.

"Well, I can make a guess, Father," Ian said, stepping in when they noticed it was not easy for me to speak.

"I would say it is most likely because Haiden rejected her advances."

As he finished, the headmaster turned to me again, giving me a clear look of annoyance.
