Abandoned Luna Now Untouchable (Cecilia) novel Chapter 113

Cecilia

“I’m going to get some drinks,” Harper announced, clearly frustrated with my stubborn attitude. She headed for the kitchen.

As I moved toward the couch, I thought I heard footsteps outside the apartment.

I paused, listening intently. Nothing.

Just my imagination. The night had been stressful enough to cause auditory hallucinations.

Harper returned with two ice-cold beers. “Let Alpha Sebastian go to his arranged mating meetings if that’s what he wants. Our Cecilia is perfectly fine on her own.”

laccepted the beer, popping it open and taking a long swig.

My fingers traced the condensation on the bottle. “Being honest, he’s… he’s a good man.

Exceptional in every way, actually. But someone with his status and responsibilities-his mating choice isn’t entirely his own. He has obligations to his Pack.”

“When you were with Xavier, you never thought so-” Harper caught herself. “Never mind that bastard. Speaking of Alpha Sebastian, I thought you were convinced he preferred

men? You were quite adamant about it before.”

“I might have… slightly misinterpreted things,” I mumbled, unable to meet her eyes.

The truth was, I couldn’t believe my appeal was strong enough to change someone’s sexual orientation. Hedging my bets, I added, “Maybe he’s bisexual?”

Harper stared at me blankly.

We locked eyes, her expression growing increasingly incredulous.

Finally, she reached over and punched my arm. “What the fuck? Maybe he’s bisexual? But don’t mess with my mental image of him-he’s supposed to be the cold, stoic Alpha who secretly has a tragic backstory and zero time for love!”

“Ouch! Why hit me for stating a possibility?” I laughed, dodging her next playful swing.

We wrestled briefly before collapsing back onto the couch with our beers.

Suddenly, Harper bolted upright. “Oh! I almost forgot to play you this absolutely explosive recording. It’s seriously mind-blowing.”

“Please don’t let it be something disgusting. I just ate and don’t feel like vomiting.”

“Of course not! Though speaking of disgusting things, Xavier was acting so strange earlier. When Cici tried to get intimate with him-God, the way he recoiled! Anyone watching would think he’d been forced into their relationship. He didn’t used to be like this, did he?”

Used to be…

What was he like before? I felt a momentary disorientation as I tried to recall.

“It’s to be expected,” I replied dryly. “Spend a year fucking a psychopath and you’ll catch the crazy too.”

“True enough,” Harper nodded, pulling out her phone.

She played a recording-a conversation between Cici and Luna Dora after dinner at the Blood Moon Pack estate.

At first, there was silence, just the sound of footsteps. Then Cici spoke, her voice

Sickeningly sweet.

“Luna Dora, can you please talk to Xavier for me? He’s been so cold lately. It’s breaking my heart.”

Luna Dora sounded flat, like she didn’t want to be there.”I can’t control how he treats you.

If you feel like he’s mistreating you, you’re free to end the mating.”

Silence followed

When Cici spoke again, her voice had changed-cold and threatening

“Are you sure you want to talk to me like that? When I get upset, I tend to say… things.

Things Alpha Claude might want to hear. Like about the human boyfriend you’ve been hiding. ”

“And that woman overseas, the one trying to replace you? Her son’s nineteen now, right?

Perfect age to come back and challenge Xavier for his place. If your position gets shaky, all of Xavier’s inheritance could be split.”

“You…!” Luna Dora gasped. “Cici White! You stole Xavier from Cecilia, and now you’re threatening him too?”

“I’m not hurting him,” Cici said calmly. “I love him. You’re the one hurting him by not helping me.”

Luna Dora didn’t know how to respond. Her silence said it all.Then she snapped, full of hate.

“Don’t forget, Cici-your pregnancy is fake. I’m the one who lied for you. If you dare say anything about me, I’ll tell Xavier the truth.”

“Go ahead,” Cici said, laughing softly. “Let’s both confess and see who dies first.”

“You’re insane,” Luna Dora said, her voice shaking. You could hear the fear.

Cici’s tone turned sweet again, which made it even creepier.

“I don’t want to hurt you, Luna Dora. But if you don’t listen to me, I’ll ruin you. I know a lot more about your secrets. I even have your nudes. Think about that.”

“You. you’re a demon,” Luna Dora whispered.
