Abandoned Luna Now Untouchable (Cecilia) novel Chapter 66

Cecilia

The night road stretched endlessly before me, traffic still flowing steadily despite the late hour. I drove with the windows down, letting the cool breeze wash over me.

Somewhere in that wind was the scent of wildflowers, carrying their sweet perfume through the darkness.

The streetlights curved ahead like a ribbon of gold, guiding me away from Denver and the chaos I’d left behind.

I hadn’t lied to Alpha Sebastian. I really was heading to my grandmother’s place.

The video that Harper had originally offered to record for me-l’d decided to do it myself.

Something inside me knew this needed to be my voice, my face confronting the lies.

Perhaps… this was the final battle in a war I never wanted to fight.

I could see it in Xavier’s eyes when he’d visited Harper’s apartment. He was exhausted too.

The fight had drained both of us.

With any luck, by the time I returned, he would have come to his senses. We could finally end this twisted dance between us, once and for all.

I needed these few days away from Denver. Cici and her family might retaliate in their anger, and I wasn’t about to let a lone wolf try to outfight an entire rival pack.

Sometimes strategic retreat was the wisest move.

Meanwhile, at the Blood Moon Pack house…

Luna Dora was frantically calling Xavier, one call after another, but he refused to answer.

The rejectior from her own son-her Alpha-was a bitter humiliation she couldn’t swallow.

Alpha Claude’s face was like stone as he turned to his mate. “You should never have let the Shadow Pack family witch manipulate you,”

he growled, his eyes flashing with Alpha dominance, the golden ring around his pupils growing brighter with his anger. “Now we’ve not only been publicly humiliated, but the pack has suffered severe losses. How did I end up with such a foolish Luna?”

Luna Dora was already seething with anger and frustration. She’d been berated all day, her son was treating her like an enemy, and now her mate was insulting her. Her composure finally shattered

“Yes, I’m stupid!” she snapped, her voice rising. “Why don’t you just replace me? Get yourself a smarter Luna!” Her eyes narrowed dangerously.

“Oh wait, you already have one, don’t you? That mistress of yours who’s been warming your bed abroad. Why don’t you just let her and that bastard child of yours walk right into the Blood Moon Pack and make them your new Luna and heir!”

The sound of the slap echoed through the room as Alpha Claude struck her face, the force enough to make a human crumble.

“Who are you calling a mistress? Who’s a bastard?” he snarled,teeth elongating slightly as his control slipped.

Luna Dora stood still, her fingers touching her reddening cheek as if she couldn’t believe what had just happened.

A bitter laugh slipped from her lips, and inside her, her wolf let out a soft, painful whine.

“What did I get for ignoring the truth for over twenty years?” she said, her voice shaking.

“You were sharing a bed with that woman overseas, and I stayed here in an empty house.

And now, you call me stupid.”

Her shoulders dropped, her whole body seeming to give up.

“You’re right,” she said quietly. “I am stupid. Really stupid.”

She turned away and started walking upstairs. Her steps were slow and heavy, like the weight of all her mistakes was pressing down on her.

“Dora.” Alpha Claude called out, regret already filling his voice.
