Abandoned Luna Now Untouchable (Cecilia) novel Chapter 100

Cecilia

I flopped back in my chair on the terrace, stuck listening to what felt like hours of crazy rumors about me.

Apparently, some people thought 1 had bedroom powers that could charm any man-especially powerful Alphas.

The wildest one? That I’d mastered some long-lost seduction technique made to control male werewolves.

Seriously?

At first, Yvonne looked sympathetic. But as the gossip got more ridiculous, I could see her getting… curious.

She leaned on my shoulder in that silky green dress that made her skin look even more perfect.

“Sweetheart,” she said with a smirk, “are you holding out on me? If you’ve got secret moves, you really should share.”

She looked like a sly little fox in that dress. Honestly, it fit her way too well.

I sighed and downed the rest of my drink.

“That’s enough,” 1 muttered.

Then I stood up and headed straight down to where the gossip crew was hanging out.

As soon as I showed up, their voices died.

They all looked at me-first awkward, then confused, then a little nervous.

With a completely straight face, I slowly raised my hand, letting the obsidian bracelet on my wrist catsh the light.

Then, like I was doing serious math, I started counting on my fingers-one slow tap at a time.

The whole table went dead silent.

After a dramatic pause, I sighed and looked each of them straight in the eye.

“In exactly seven days,” I said solemnly, “you’ll all regret talking about me.” Then I turned and walked away, heels clicking.

Behind me, I heard the stunned silence break into nervous whispers.

Yvonne caught up to me inside, laughing so hard she could barely breathe.

“That was evil-and amazing! You should’ve seen their faces!”

I kept my serious look. “Who says I was joking?”

She froze mid-laugh. “Wait. are you serious?”

I paused, then finally cracked a smile. “Absolutely not.”

“You witch!” she laughed, shoving my shoulder.

But deep down, I was still annoyed.

I come here as Alpha Sebastian’s companion-l couldn’t exactly start a catfight at his business associate’s reception. What would that say about him? About me?

Scanning the room, I spotted Mr. Chu emerging from a private area, but Alpha Sebastian was nowhere to be seen.

He must be meeting whoever he’d actually come here to see-some mysterious figure important enough to warrant this entire elaborate setup.

“Yvonne, do you know who Mr. Chu invited tonight? Someone important, apparently.”

“Isn’t that your Alpha?” she replied with a smirk.

“He’s not my-” I stopped myself, too tired to correct her. “Besides him. Anyone else noteworthy?”

“Not that I know of. The only VIP on Mr. Chu’s radar these days is your A-”

“Okay, okay, I get it, I cut her off quickly.

Alpha Sebastian was busy, and I had no desire to endure more whispers and stares. “Want to grab some actual food downstairs? This place has a decent restaurant on the fifth floor.”

Yvonne, sensing my discomfort, readily agreed. “Lead the way. I’m under strict orders to keep the future Luna happy.”

1 rolled my eyes but didn’t bother arguing.
