Abandoned Luna Now Untouchable (Cecilia) novel Chapter 116

Author

The street was bathed in quiet moonlight, the glow of the occasional lamp pooling across the pavement like liquid silver.

At the far end of the block, a steek silver jaguar idled near the corner, its engine a low hum in the silence.

Inside, Alpha Sebastian Black sat in the driver’s seat, one hand resting on the steering wheel, his sharp profile lit faintly by the glow from the dashboard

His amber-flecked eyes were fixed on the figure parked across the street-Cecilia’s compact car, which hadn’t moved in minutes.

He frowned, tension etched between his brows.

In the passenger seat, Tang awned without restraint, slouching against the car door.

“We’ve been tailing her for over thirty minutes,” Tang grumbled, rubbing his eyes with the back of his hand. “How long are we planning to camp out like this, Alpha? Why not just walk over and say something?”

Alpha Sebastian didn’t so much as glance away from the window.

His voice was soft, contemplative.”If I go directly. she’ll be scared again.” Tang blinked, bewildered. “Scared? Of what?”

“You wouldn’t understand.”

The way he said it shut down any further questions.

Alpha Sebastian’s gaze remained locked on Cecilia’s car, like a predator debating whether to approach its wounded prey-or offer it safety.

Tang gave a-weary sigh and mumbled under his breath, “Of course I wouldn’t. Alpha business.”

He really didn’t understand. Who in their right mind drove around the city after midnight, shadowing someone who clearly didn’t want to be found?

And now they were playing some kind of invisible hide-and-seek, where neither party was supposed to know the other existed.

For moons’ sake, it was well past one in the morning.

Alpha Sebastian exhaled, pulling his phone from the center console.

Some instinct had told him to follow Cecilia when he noticed her hurried departure from the apartment complex.

At first, he thought it might just be a restless night.

But then he saw it: she was circling a pharmacy district. Not just one store, either.

His brow furrowed deeper, realization dawning.

Cecilia wasn’t just out driving.She was in pain.

Without wasting another second, he scrolled through his contact list and tapped a name.

Cecilia

Back in my car, I rubbed at my eyes, half-asleep from the exhaustion and stress.

I finally pulled myself together and drove home, desperate for rest if nothing else.

When I reached the apartment, I was surprised to see someone standing outside the lobby entrance

Broad-shouldered and dressed in black jeans and a dark-tee, Tang looked like he belonged more on a stage than holding a giant cardboard box under a streetlamp.

“Tang?” I blinked at him, struggling to connect the dots through my haze. “What are you doing here this late?”

He gave me a sheepish smile, shifting the box in his arms. “Running an errand. Liam needed his meds, so I came to deliver them.”

“Liam? Is he okay?” I frowned, my eyes flicking down to the enormous box he carried.

“All that’s for him?”

Tang nodded seriously. “He’s older, you know? So he takes medicine for all kinds of little things. This is just routine stufff.”

“Couldn’t it have waited until tomorrow?” I checked the time-nearly 2:00 AM.

He shrugged with a grin. “What can I say? Sudden burst of enthusiasm.” I couldn’t help but snort. “Sure, let’s go with that.”

We headed up together, the elevator humming quietly as it carried us toward my floor.

Once inside, Tang eyed me with a bit more curiosity than usual. “By the way, what were you doing out this late? You okay?”

“Oh, uh.” I rubbed my temple. “Just some stomach trouble. Probably indigestion.”
