Abandoned Luna Now Untouchable (Cecilia) novel Chapter 12

Cecilia

I waited for Cici to finish her little speech about how I was nothing compared to her “noble” werewolf bloodline. My indignation rising to match my own, but I kept my expression cool and collected. I looked down at her with icy eyes.

“What exactly makes you so noble?” I asked, my voice deceptively gentle despite the rage simmering beneath. “Is it your pig brain that can’t even handle a simple excel? Or perhaps how you treasure my mate’s leftovers like they’re precious gems? Or maybe it’s how you’ve latched onto the job I no longer want and act so smug about it?”

I am in satisfaction at the flash of shock crossing Cici’s face.

“And this ‘our circle’ nonsense…” I continued, tilting my head slightly. “Who exactly is ‘us’? I don’t recall joining your little pack of degenerates who spend their days rutting like animals in heat. Keep that filthy den for yourself and Xavier. I want no part of it.”

My tone remained calm, but every word dripped venom. The mating bond between Xavier and me might be strained, but it didn’t give this entitled pup the right to talk down to me.

Her face contorted with rage.

I was barely halfway through my speech when she began screaming, her eyes flashing yellow. “Shut your mouth! I’ll tear your lips off! i’ll kill you!”

She lunged from her chair, charging toward me with her hand raised to slap me.

I stood my ground, unmoved. As she approached, I slammed the stack of documents into her face with all my strength. The impact sent her stumbling sideways, blood immediately flowing from her nose.

“Handover complete,” I announced coolly, feeling a surge of satisfaction. “Good luck running Blood Moon into the ground.” With that, I turned and walked away.

“Cecilia! I won’t let this go! You’ll pay for this!” Cici’s shrieks echoed through the building as she clutched her bleeding nose, but no one dared approach her..

As I left the office and walked down the corridor, my colleagues cautiously approached me, their faces filled with concern and sympathy, Even without pack bonds, these humans had formed a connection with me that ran deeper than blood.

Jasmine, the team lead for Group Three, braved entering the office to retrieve my belongings. She carefully cleaned the items Cici had thrown in the trach and placed them in a box.

“Cecilia e, let me carry this down for you,” she offered, her eyes full of genuine concern:

Looking at her, warmth flooded my chest, and my eyes grew moist. Even though this was undoubtedly the darkest hour of my life-my mate bond fracturing, my position being stolen-I wasn’t completely without support.

“Thank you,” I said with a genuine smile, reaching out to squeeze her arm gently

The project department team escorted me to the elevator, Jasmine carried my things all the way to the lobby.

Before leaving, I pulled her aside, away from potential eavesdroppers with enhanced hearing.

“Tell everyone to keep doing their jobs and not to antagonize that princess,” 1 advised, my voice low. “The best scenario is that she gets bored after playing around for a while and leaves on her own. And if projects start falling apart under her management, report directly to Xavier. Don’t wait until she tries to blame you all. Those multi-million dollar deals are too big for any of you to take the fall. Xavier will know it’s her fault, and I believe he’ll handle it accordingly.” I didn’t add that regardless of our personal issues, Xavier was still an Alpha who took his business responsibilities seriously.

Jasmine nodded.

“I’ll pass that along to everyone.” Her eyes filled with tears.

“We’ll miss you, Cecilia.”

stepped forward and hugged her, “Stay in touch,” I whispered, fighting back my own emotions.

As I drove away from Blood Moon headquarters, rain began to fall, each drop hitting my windshield like tiny daggers of melancholy. The mate bond might be damaged beyond repair, but it still hurt to leave what had once been my pack in all but name.

Ten more days until I was officially free from this marriage.

Not long now.

Cici

The moment that human bitch left, I stormed upstairs to report this outrage to Xavier. My nose was throbbing with pain, blood still dripping despite my attempts to clean it up. The humiliation burned worse than the physical hurt.

My brother Gavin was already in Xavier’s office. His eyes widened when he saw my swollen, bloody nose.

“What happened to you?” he asked, immediately straightening in his chair.

I sat between them, letting my tears flow freely. Playing the victim was second nature when you grew up as the pampered fourth daughter of the Shadow Pack’s Alpha family.

“I was so nice to her,” I sobbed dramatically. “Made her coffee, offered her my chair-but from the moment she walked in, she started insulting me. Called me shameless and said horrible things about Xavier too… called us ‘filthy animals.” I sniffled, making sure my distress scent filled the room. “I just wanted to ask her some work questions, and I didn’t dare talk back. But that wasn’t enough for her-she attacked me! She threw all the handover documents in my face and pinned me to the ground!”

I embellished the story, knowing neither of them had witnessed what actually happened

Xavier listened with a cold expression, saying nothing.

Gavin was incredulous, his Alpha temper flaring instantly. “Has this woman lost her mind? This is outrageous!” His alpha presence filled the room as he turned to Xavier. “What are you going to do about this?”

“I’ll apologize to Cici on Cecilia’s behalf,” Xavier replied evenly. “She hasn’t been herself lately.”

That’s it? Just an apology?

This wasn’t the response I had expected. I had hoped Xavier would summon Cecilia and demand an explanation, maybe even punish her.

“I don’t want you apologizing for her!” 1 snapped, forgetting my place momentarily. “I want her on her knees begging for forgiveness! And I want to return every blow!”

Xavier’s eyes instantly frosted over, the temperature in the room dropping as his Alpha aura filled the space. “That won’t happen.”

His absence had become so normal that 1 barely noticed anymore. But a call at this hour? What could he want?

I hesitated before answering, my instincts warning me that nothing good would come from this call.

The moment I connected the call, I heard rapid breathing-a man and woman,followed by the woman’s pleasure-filled, wanton moans.

“Xavier, I can’t take anymore,” Cici panted. “You’re too much… you’re going to destroy me.”

“Deeper, deeper…” she begged.

“Ahhh…” Her cry of ecstasy pierced through the phone.

My already unsettled stomach lurched violently. I bent over, vomiting forcefully onto the floor.

My phone slipped from my hand, crashing down with a sharp crack. The screen shattered completely.

I don’t remember how I made it back to my bedroom.

Lying in bed, I expected to be overwhelmed by grief, unable to sleep through the night. But surprisingly, none of that happened.

I just… stopped caring

Let them enjoy their little performance.

Let her think she’s won.

She took the man.

Now I’ll take the rest.

I woke at dawn, mind clearer than it had been in months.

Showered, cleaned the gym, ate, bought a new phone.

By afternoon, I arrived at Riverstone Golf Club The air was sharp, the greens quiet.

I was ready to meet the Alpha who might change everything.
