Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 527

Chapter 527: 527-Snakes All Around Me

Ian:

Life has shown me many forms of grief. From childhood to adulthood, I was taught only one thing, and that was to be tough.

To learn that, I had to pass through different kinds of pain. A mother who was not there. A father whose attention was lost most of the time or was always working. I had a stepbrother who was always thinking of ways to hurt me.

Then I went to live with my great grandfather.

My grandfather used to draw monsters. I would sit beside him for hours, staring at those monsters.

For a long time, my life became nothing but monsters. Even my nightmares were filled with monsters. Every time he drew a picture, he showed it to me, then explained what the monster did and what kind of powers and weaknesses it had.

Since I had nothing better to do, I just sat and listened to him. Then I would close my eyes and imagine the monsters walking around me.

That is how I became deeply connected to them, which is why when I went to the north and started seeing them in front of me, I felt bored.

In the beginning, I was really upset about being sent there. I was angry with my father too because I thought I had never done anything wrong, so why the heck did he punish me?

I did not know about my brother’s condition, but I knew he had committed many frauds and many painful acts, even against me and others. So I thought if someone should be going to the north, it should have been him for his wrong deeds.

Then she entered my life.

My fated mate. My Clementine.

The moment I saw her, I understood she was special. I also knew she would destroy me.

I tried many times to stay away from her. I could not.

She was like a magnet and I kept getting pulled toward her.

Eventually, I surrendered to her. I thought maybe this was the Moon Goddess’ way of redeeming herself.

After giving me so much pain, maybe she was finally giving me a little happiness.

But to take that happiness away, many enemies were created.

"Ian, drink some water."

Haiden spoke softly, holding a bottle out to me. I gave him a hand gesture to let him know I did not want it.

The news hit me like a wrecking ball, but more importantly, I could not feel it. I just did not feel it.

Even though the words were spoken with confidence, something else stopped me from believing them. My own heart. My wolf.

I had been sitting on the road for a long time, silently feeling nothing.

"I’m not feeling the loneliness," I said quietly.

The moment I said that, everyone turned to look at me.

I lifted my head and looked at each of them.

I was even more surprised when I saw Leysa standing behind Troy. When had she arrived?

Also, when did Troy come?

"What are you saying?" Haiden asked, giving me an apologetic look.

His new mate was standing beside him. They looked connected.

On the other side, Troy was holding Leysa’s hand.

A lot was happening here. A lot was changing. It was a lot for me to register but my brain seemed to be cooked.

"I’m not feeling the connection break," I clarified, getting up from the road. Haiden had tears in his eyes. Fauna looked like she was about to cry too, but Troy and Leysa did not seem like they were going to cry over the news.

They looked more puzzled and worried than sad.

Everyone was still staring at me.

"If she is dead, wouldn’t I feel the bond snap?" I asked.

My voice began to crack.

I looked at my father. He was staring at me.

"Tell me, Father. Didn’t you feel the connection break?" I asked, walking toward him.

He looked lost. As if he wanted to say something but could not say it in front of everyone.

Finally, he spoke.

"I mean, we have that poison inside us. We react differently than other werewolves," he explained.

That was all he said and my eyes closed.

I clenched my fists to the side of my body and then took a deep breath.

It felt as if the more I tried to convince myself, the more they were trying to convince me that Clementine was truly dead.

"No. I’m not ready to believe that she’s dead."

I shook my head reluctantly. Then I looked around at everyone with anger, daring anyone to repeat those words to my face.

"You think after all these weeks she would still be alive?" Grant pressed in a stern tone.

He kept trying to convince me that I was wrong.

My heart began to sink.

I slipped into another trance.

"What do you mean? What should you tell me?" I demanded, turning my attention to those two. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
