Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 552

Chapter 552: 552-Take Them Down

Clementine:

After we had breakfast and decided what to do, we left the mansion to find the towers.

"So here is the thing," Ian began, turning around and walking backward once we reached the road, facing all of us.

"We will find the closest tower to the station that leads to the dark side. Once we obtain the stone, remember, the protective layer will shake."

He pointed in a circle when mentioning the layer.

"It will not break immediately, so we will still have time because the other towers will still stand guard. But two towers could be dangerous."

Everybody nodded in understanding.

"So we will head toward the dark side of the station after we obtain the stone," he continued. "We will reach the woods, dig a grave, and bury the stone there. The ones staying behind will wait for some time before they take out the stone from the other tower."

He explained, pointing at each of us before his finger stopped on me and a smirk appeared on his lips.

"But how will we know when it is time to take the stone from the other tower?" I asked, taking a few steps forward. "What if you have not even buried the first one and secured the dark side border, and we have already taken the stone from the other tower? What then?"

Although I had forgiven Yorick because everyone had made wrong decisions under power, control, and compulsion, it was still difficult to look at him without remembering what I had been through.

However, I kept my emotions beneath the surface because I did not want to make it about myself.

Right now, we have to protect the mainland and the other crusaders from being killed by monsters or manipulated by those evil people in the future.

"For that, let us set a window of time," Ian said. "You will give us exactly five hours. Five hours will be enough for us to pass through the tunnel, reach the dark side, and fight the monsters that come in the way."

Ian spoke firmly as everyone began to exchange glances.

"What kind of monsters are we talking about?" Troy asked from behind me, making the hair on the back of my neck stand up at the mention of them.

"These are the kinds you have not seen here," Ian replied. "They are not monsters you can simply escape. They occupy a particular area leading to the woods, so you will have to go through them."

He explained, slowly turning around to walk ahead again, giving us his back.

I stepped forward, and once I was shoulder to shoulder with Ian, I moved back and began walking backward.

Ian slowed down so he could still face me.

"We have cleared one area of monsters, but others still linger," I explained. "So we need to decide who will come with us to the dark side and who will stay behind on the good side."

I said it carefully, still calling the monster side the good side, even though it was obvious there was a bad side and a worse side. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Everyone slowed down because we had to form a team.

"Mariana and I are staying back here," Yorick announced, making everyone’s eyes widen.

It seemed he was sticking to the plan.

He saw it as redemption, and I could tell he would not let it go.

"Yorick and Mariana should stay on the good side," Ian suggested.
