Abandoned Luna Now Untouchable (Cecilia) novel Chapter 38

Sebastian

1 didn’t slow my steps.

Let them stare.

Let them flinch.

Their silence didn’t surprise me-it was exactly what I expected.

As I moved forward, people stepped out of the way, giving me space I hadn’t asked for.

No one dared to meet my gaze.

These factory workers had never seen me before-as the new CEO of the Silver Peak

Pack’s company.

But they felt it.

My Alpha presence rolled off me in waves, pressing into the room like invisible pressure.

Fear was instinctive.

I walked straight to the head of the conference table and sat down, not wasting a second.

“Has she been found?” I asked, my voice cutting through the silence like a blade.

I scanned the room slowly, locking eyes with each person for a brief moment.

No one answered.

The silence grew heavier, almost physical.

[They’re hiding something, Soren growled in the back of my mind, his voice low and angry.

[I know,] I replied calmly. [l’ll handle it.]

Someone had to speak.

And by rank, that someone could only be the factory director.

All eyes turned to Thomas Dunn.

He shrank under the weight of their stares and mine.

My cold, fox-like eyes locked onto him, sharp and unblinking.

His heartbeat jumped.

I could hear it clearly from across the room.

“A-Alpha Sebastian,” he stuttered, “she hasn’t b-been found yet.”

“You’re Thomas Dunn?” I asked, my voice dangerously calm.

“Y-Yes, Alpha Sebastian.”

I leaned forward slightly, my fingers splaying across the polished table surface.

“As I understand it, you personally received Secretary Cecilia today. Logically, you should know her whereabouts better than anyone else here.”

My voice remained measured but carried a pressure that could crush souls. The man’s pulse quickened further, visible in the throbbing vein at his temple.

His eyes darted nervously around the room, and his breathing became labored. Still, he attempted to maintain his composure. “Yes, I did receive Secretary Cecilia and I was the one who saw her off. But I only accompanied her to the factory gates. After that, l returned inside. I truly don’t know where she went afterward.”

“You truly don’t know?” I leaned closer. My eyes pierced into him like ice shards. “What if

¡ told you I already know you’re lying?”

Thomas’s mind went blank with panic, his dark complexion fading to an ashen gray.

No, that’s not-l’m not lying,Alpha Sebastian. I really don’t know where Secretary Cecilia went.”

The other factory employees lowered their heads, sweating profusely, not daring to breathe remained silent.

Their reactions had already confirmed my instincts.

Cecilia’s disappearance was absolutely connected to them.

Alpha Xavier, who had been listening from the side, could no longer contain his rage. He lunged forward, grabbing Thomas by the collar, his face contorted with fury.

“Where is my mate?” he growled, the sound barely human. “What have you done to her?”

His explosive anger was terrifying-like he might tear the man’s head off at any moment.

“Who-who are you? Let go!”Thomas Dunn choked, struggling for breath in Alpha Xavier’s iron grip.

Alpha Xavier slammed Thomas Dunn’s head against the conference table with a sickening crack. The sound echoed through the room, making everyone flinch. It seemed as if his skull might have fractured from the impact.

Everyone around them froze, each fearing they might be next.

Alpha Sebastian watched with cold detachment, his expression unchanged

Beta Sawyer observed the scene with alarm. The first thought that crossed his mind wasn’t whether Thomas Dunn would survive, but rather-if Cecilia had been married to such a violent man, had she suffered abuse at his hands?

Alpha Xavier yanked Thomas Dunn’s head back up, his face a mask of murderous rage.

Alpha Xavier and his men became entangled in the brawl, and in the confusion, Thomas Dunn was being whisked toward the exit. Beta Sawyer looked urgently at Alpha Sebastian:

Should we call people to recapture him?

Alpha Sebastian gave a single, meaningful nod.

Understanding immediately, Beta Sawyer quickly left the conference room.

Alpha Xavier, having finished dealing with several thugs, also pursued Thomas Dunn with his men.

The thugs who had been beaten to the floor scrambled out the door after them.

The chaotic conference room fell silent once more.

Someone helped Zoe to his feet, offering sympathy and concern.

“Oh, my back!” Zoe complained, rubbing his lower spine. “That man was absolutely barbaric. Couldn’t he just talk things out civilly?” He naturally settled into a chair.

Acting as if he were in charge here.

The branch company employees seemed relieved at his arrival, like their savior had come.

Sebastian

I stood there, my face impassive as stone.

I didn’t rage or speak, just remained standing with one hand in my pocket, watching him with a slightly mocking gaze.

My stare made Zoe sweat profusely, shifting uncomfortably in his seat until he finally stood again awkwardly. “Please, Alpha Sebastian, take a seat.”

“Vice President Zoe, quite the influence you have here,” I remarked with deceptive casualness.

“Perhaps this branch should be renamed after you instead.” I punctuated my words by tapping my finger sharply against the table.

Zoe’s heart skipped a beat.

His eyes darted nervously toward Amara.

[He’s guilty,] Soren snarled inside me. [l can smell his fear.]

“Alpha Sebastian…” Amara began, then noticed the glacial coldness in my eyes “May I say something? Of course we need to find Secretary Cecilia, but accusing the factory staff without evidence isn’t fair. You haven’t checked the security footage or called the police, yet you’re threatening to fire everyone if she isn’t found. That’s unreasonable.”

My eyes narrowed dangerously. “How do you know I haven’t reviewed the footage or gathered evidence?”

The question hung in the air like a blade.
