Abandoned Luna Now Untouchable (Cecilia) novel Chapter 54

Cecilia

“There’s nothing more to talk about,”

I said, keeping my voice calm.

“He already signed the divorce papers. If you want to convince someone, talk to him. He’s the one holding things up. Once he finishes the last steps, I’ll be done-with him and with the Blood Moon Pack.”

My tone remained calm, as if discussing someone else’s failed marriage rather than my own-where I had given my heart completely only to be betrayed.

had lost this gamble and accepted it, but I wouldn’t forget the pain just because the wound had scabbed over.

There was a long pause on the other end of the line.

“Just come tomorrow,” Alpha Claude said at last. “No matter what you’ve decided, this isn’t something one person can decide alone. In a marriage, if one side refuses, nothing can move forward. In the end, both people need to sit down and talk. Don’t you think so?”

I remained silent.

It’s just dinner,” Alpha Claude continued. “Nothing will happen. Do it as a courtesy to me.”

I considered his request carefully.

“Alright,” I finally agreed.

My acceptarce wasn’t out of respect for him. I had left Blood Moon Pack and was divorcing his son-there was no future where we would maintain any relationship. His courtesy” meant nothing to me anymore.

I agreed because 1 thought perhaps tomorrow night 1 could approach this like a business negotiation-convince him to persuade Xavier to stop his pointless pursuit and let me go.

Liam had been standing nearby during my call and approached with concern written across his face.

“Are you sure about this? What if they try to trick you again and harm you like last time?

Please be careful,” he warned.

“You’re right,” I nodded.

Though 1 didn’t believe Alpha Claude would stoop so low, after what Luna Dora had done, I couldn’t afford to be careless. “TIl hire bodyguards to protect me tomorrow. Don’t worry.”

The next afternoon, around four o’clock, I dressed carefully and headed to the Blood Moon Pack’s main house with two professional bodyguards I’d hired.

Though my leg had healed enough for normal walking yesterday, I pretended it hadn’t and used a wheelchair.

If there was danger and my bodyguards couldn’t handle it, I could surprise my enemies by suddenly standing up and escaping.

Sebastian

I was standing by the window, talking on the phone with a pack atty, when I heard a knock at the door.

Lowered the phone a little and said, “Come in.”

Beta Sawyer walked in, clearly not realizing I was still on a call.

“Alpha Sebastian,” he said quickly, “Liam just called. He said Secretary Cecilia went to the Blood Moon Pack’s house.”

My grip on the phone tightened without thinking.

Inside me, Soren-my wolf-let out a low, angry growl.

I didn’t like it. Not one damn bit.]

The news hit me harder than I expected. I tried to ignore Soren’s reaction, tried to stay calm.

I narrowed my eyes just slightly and forced my voice to stay even.

“If she really wants to go, let her. Why are you telling me this?”

Soren growled louder in my head.

[She’s ours,] he snapped.

[Why is she there without us?!

I clenched my jaw.

[She’s not claimed, I told him silently. [She’s free to make her own choices.]

But she had been living in my apartment. Sleeping in my space.

Leaving her scent behind like it belonged there.

And now she was on enemy territory-and I was supposed to do nothing?

I didn’t like it. Not at all.

I pushed the thought away.

“Get out,” I said to Beta Sawyer, sharper than I meant.

He flinched and quickly left the room.

I raised the phone back to my ear.

The man on the other end chuckled.

“Secretary Cecilia? Sounds like a woman. seems you care about her more than Just a little.”

“Just a secretary,” I said flatly, though the words tasted like a lie.

Soren growled again in my mind.

[Liar,] he said. [She’s our mate.]

I didn’t answer. I ended the call without another word.

For a moment, I stood still, staring at my reflection in the window.

My eyes were tight. My jaw was clenched:

Flooked. conflicted. And I hated that.

I pulled out my phone and called the head of my private security team.

*I need a protection unit near the Blood Moon Pack’s house,” I said.

“Keep it discreet, but make sure it’s effective. The target is Cecilia Moore. If anything’s off

-anything at all-you act immediately.”

I ended the call and slipped the phone back into my pocket.

That stubborn woman.

Why the hell can’t she stay safe-for once?

Cecilja

When I arrived at the Blood Moon Pack house, my feelings were entirely different from any previous visit.

Entering the dining room, I found a table laden with exquisite dishes, but only Alpha Claude was seated there.

Being tied forever to a man who cheated on me.

Sharing a bed with someone I no longer respected.

Raising children in a house built on lies.

Pretending not to see the next “Cici,” or “Lisa,” or whoever came next.

And all the while, smiling like a good Luna, while dying inside.

That wasn’t a life. That was a trap-with a gold chain instead of an iron one.

“I’ve made my decision,” I said firmly. “I still want the divorce.”

Then I gave him a calm, deliberate smile.

“I have a counter-offer,” said, my voice calm and steady. had already made up my mind.

“If you agree to it, I’ll stay with Alpha Xavier.”

He raised an eyebrow, a flicker of interest showing on his otherwise calm face.

“Let’s hear it.”

His tone was-controlled, but I could sense the tension underneath. He thought I was bluffing. That was fine.

“I want ten percent of the Blood Moon Pack’s business.”

I dropped the words slowly and clearly, making sure he heard every syllable.

His face changed right away-first surprise, then anger. Sharp and real.

Good. That meant he understood.

Maybe he still thought 1 was the quiet Luna who smiled politely and stayed sitent-at meetings.

That version of me was gone.

“You think I’m naive?” I asked, looking straight at him.

“My voice is calm because I know exactly what this marriage means-for you and for me.” Neaned forward a little, resting my elbows on the table.

“You want a Luna who smiles for the public, attends events, and keeps things quiet? Fine.

Then I want my share too.”

Af I stay, it won’t be for love.” My voice didn’t get louder, but it turned colder.

“This will be a business deal. You get your perfect Luna, and I get my part of the business.”.

I paused, letting my words sink in.

“I won’t ask questions. I won’t care who Alpha Xavier sleeps with or how often. He can pring them home, even into our bed, and I won’t say a word.”

His jaw tightened.!Looked into his eyes, steady and sure.

“But don’t get it wrong-I’m not doing this for him. I’m doing it for myself.” And I meant every word

I wasn’t here to fix a broken marriage.

I was here to protect my future.
