Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 556

Chapter 556: 556-Saved By My Luna

Troy:

Now I understood why it was called the Dark Side of the North.

In just a few hours, we had seen things that shouldn’t exist.

And I’m not even talking about the larger monster yet.

Aside from the Drifters, Hollow man, and the Fades, there were others too.

Creatures that flew.

Creatures that crawled across the ground.

Clementine and Ian called them minor monsters, but they had shaken us completely.

And now we were in Misty Corners.

Whatever they had told us about this place hadn’t been enough.

The main issue here seemed simple. Just hold your breath and keep walking.

The problem was, we didn’t know for how long.

There was no way to estimate the distance.

Whenever Clementine and Ian had crossed this place before, they had been running for their lives.

They weren’t tracking time. They were focused on surviving.

But that wasn’t the biggest problem.

The biggest problem was my love, my Leysa. She had a slight breathing issue.

I tightened my grip around her hand as we entered.

A strange whooshing sound of wind began hitting us from all directions.

Fear rose inside me instantly, but not for myself. For her.

I tried to quicken our pace.

I realized she had already started to struggle.

Her cheeks were turning pale, and her lips were turning blue.

She looked at me, but then her gaze drifted ahead.

It was as if she had no strength left to respond to my eyes or my silent gestures.

That was when I realized I would not let her face this alone.

I was here with her, and I would save her to the best of my ability, just as I had promised.

Then I turned and lifted Leysa into my arms.

I knew that the more she exerted herself, the harder it would be for her to hold her breath.

Now it was just a matter of whether my own breath would give out.

But I was going to hold it until my last second.

At least until my Leysa was out of this place and safe.

I was already close to gasping when I noticed Leysa’s fingers clutching my shirt tightly.

It was her signal. She was struggling to hold her breath.

I began to walk with Leysa.

Even though it felt like we had covered a lot of distance, we truly had not.

My eyes started to burn, but more than anything, I wanted to comfort her.

Her body began to shake in my arms, and my knees were slowly giving out.

I wanted to breathe so badly.

Before this, a single breath had not meant much to me, but now all I wanted was one inhale, one exhale.

That was it.

My mind was slowly turning numb, and my body was turning cold.

I could tell Leysa was going through the same thing.

I couldn’t comfort her. I was afraid that if I opened my mouth, I would inhale.

Suddenly Ian appeared from behind and took Leysa from my arms.

I think he had realized that after carrying her this long, I was close to breaking too.

I was on the edge of breathing in.

At that moment, Clementine gripped my hand tightly.

My head snapped toward her and I looked into her eyes.

For a second, it felt like we were about to die, and they were giving us one last silent affection.

Then I snapped out of it when I saw Ian suddenly sprint forward, partially exposing his monster wolf as he ran.

Clementine pulled me along with her, and we started running too.

My chest began tightening.

My lungs felt like they were swelling inside me. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

My arms and legs tingled.

It felt like if I didn’t breathe right now, something inside me would burst.

Finally, I saw light ahead.

Ian rushed out first with Leysa.

As soon as he crossed the boundary, he placed her down on the road and collapsed beside her.

Leysa was sitting on the ground, her hands pressed against the road as she began taking sharp, desperate breaths.

She lifted her eyes, and from a distance, ours met.

That was when everything around me started turning dark.

Flashback.

"Father doesn’t like us, does he?" I had asked my mother, seeing tears in her eyes.

"It doesn’t matter. We don’t need him either," my mother replied, though her eyelashes were still wet.

My father was cruel.
