Abandoned Luna Now Untouchable (Cecilia) novel Chapter 101

Sebastian

Cecilia’s lips parted like she wanted to say something, but no words came. expected her to brush it off. Instead, she surprised me.

She took a breath, steadying herself. “Alpha Sebastian. I’d like to track your location because I care about you,” she said-quiet, but steady.

That caught me off guard-in the best way.

Maybe it was rehearsed. Maybe not. But it sounded real enough.

Soren stirred in the back of my mind, pleased

I smiled, this time more warmly. “I appreciate that. I really do.” I pulled out my phone and handed it to her, no hesitation.

4 She took it carefully, her fingers brushing against mine.

There was something formal, almost reverent, about the way she lowered her eyes as she tapped through the settings.

• Beside her, Yvonne all but squealed. “He’s totally into her.”

Tang didn’t comment, but there was a flicker of amusement in his eyes.

When Cecilia finished, she handed the phone back with both hands, like it meant something. “Thanks,” I said. “And if you ever need anything. just ask. Seems fair.” She nodded, quiet again, her mind clearly drifting back to her friend’s situation.

The Wilson Tower was some distance from the hotel.

When i anxiously asked if we could go faster, Tang immediately transformed from careful driver to stunt performer. He cut our estimated thirty-minute journey to fifteen minutes.

Even with traffic lights slowing us down, the speed was terrifying.

After one particularly aggressive drift into the parking area, Yvonne and I were both pale as ghosts.

“Fast enough?” Tang turned back, clearly proud of himself.

My legs wobbled as I scrambled out of the car, immediately doubling over to empty my stomach in the nearest planter.

“Are you trying to kill us?” Yvonne snapped, swinging her designer purse at Tang’s head.

Despite her small frame, she put impressive force behind it.

Tang dodged easily, looking unrepentant until Alpha Sebastian fixed him with a cold stare.

The Alpha tapped his knuckle against Tang’s forehead in a light but meaningful reprimand.

“She asked if you could go faster, not if you could fly,” Alpha Sebastian said flatly. “You’ll pay any tickets yourself.”

He grabbed a water bottle and stepped out of the car, offering it.to me as I crouched by the sidewalk.

“I’m fine,” 1 insisted, quickly rinsing my mouth. We couldn’t waste time on my queasy stomach when Harper might be in danger.

The building before us was unimpressive-about twenty stories of aging concrete and glass. Inside was even more depressing, with many vacant storefronts and a general air of neglect.

The location tracking had only shown that Harper was somewhere in this building. We’d need to search floor by floor.

We approached the building manager first-a middle-aged, heavyset man with suspicious eyes. Tang gave the guy a friendly nod and said, “Hey, sorry to bother you-l think 1 dropped my wallet somewhere around here. Any chance I could take a quick look at the security cameras? It’d really help.”

The manager looked skeptically from Tang to the rest of us waiting by the entrance-Alpha Sebastian in his immaculate suit, Yvonne in her designer dress, and me still in my

formal attire from the reception.

His expression clearly said: Who do you think you’re fooling?

“Just tell me what you’re really here for,” the manager said firmly. “I can’t help if you’re not honest.”

“We’re looking for someone,” Tang said, casually rolling his shoulders-just enough to show off the muscle under his sleeves.

The manager blinked, then quickly nodded. “Uh-sure. This way.”

He led us to a tiny security room that looked like it hadn’t been used in years.

Dust on the monitors, a faint smell of stale coffee.

“Just a heads-up,” he said, a little uneasy. “Most of the cameras are down. Place doesn’t get much traffic, so. yeah, maintenance hasn’t exactly been a priority.”

When we checked the monitors, the situation was even worse than he’d suggested.

Most cameras showed nothing but static, including the crucial one at the first-floor elevator.
