Abandoned Luna Now Untouchable (Cecilia) novel Chapter 69

Harper

My heart pounded against my ribs as raced toward Cecilia’s apartment complex. I couldn’t shake the feeling of dread that had settled in my stomach since our call disconnected.

Unable to wait any longer, I called Alpha Sebastian again, knowing futt well he wasn’t a miracle worker and that building security needed time to review footage.

“Any news?” I asked quickly as soon as he picked up.

His voice was short and serious. “Security hasn’t responded yet, but one of my guys saw a suspicious car leaving the garage. We’re checking it now.”

My stomach sank. “Suspicious car?” I asked again, my voice tight. I gripped the phone harder. “Cecilia said someone was following her earlier. Could it be the same person?”

“No,” he said with confidence. “That guy is still waiting outside the gate. Probably Someone Alpha Xavier sent-very obvious, not smart.”

I paused, surprised by how sure he sounded. How did he always know so much? Still, l didn’t have time to think about it. Worry was pressing hard on my chest.

“Alright,” I said, trying to stay calm. “I’m going to her apartment anyway. Maybe its nothing.”

But deep down, I knew I was just lying-to him and to myself. I already had a bad feeling.

I drove fast, running lights and ignoring traffic. Every delay felt like torture. By the time I got to her building, the sky was dark and the shadows on the sidewalk looked long and strange.

Her apartment was quiet. Too quiet.

The kind of quiet that doesn’t feel peaceful-it feels wrong.

I stepped inside and called her name. No answer. Just the low hum of the fridge and the sound of my own breathing. The silence was louder than any scream.

My heart beat faster. My hands curled into fists.

Alpha Sebastian had mentioned Alpha Xavier’s spy, and anger started to rise in me like fire. What if the spy was just a trick? What if Alpha Xavier had finally stopped pretending to be a decent person?

I took out my phone and called him. I didn’t wait for a greeting.

“What did you do to her?” I shouted. “Where is she? When will you finally leave her alone?”

There was a pause. I heard him shift, like he had just sat up.

“She’s missing?” Alpha Xavier sounded truly shocked.

I didn’t believe it for a second.

“Don’t act like you don’t know!” I snapped, walking back and forth across the room. My boots hit the floor hard. “If it’s not you, then it’s your mother or Cici. One of you took her, and I swear-”

He hung up.

No answers. No excuses. Just silence.

“You bastard,” I said through clenched teeth, staring at the phone. My hands were shaking.

My chest rose and fell fast. Anger burned behind my eyes like fire.

He knew something. I was sure of it.

If anything had happened to Cecilia-anything at all-I would make every one of them pay.

Minutes later, Alpha Sebastian texted me with troubling news: security footage showed Cecilia’s car entering the complex but no video of it actually entering the garage-yet her car was physically there.

The only explanation was that someone had deliberately tampered with the security system.

The garage was typically quiet, especially at this hour, with few residents coming or going.

The static nature of the footage meant security might not notice if a portion had been compromised for several hours.

I immediately called the police.

Within thirty minutes, what had been an eerily silent garage was swarming with officers and building security personnel.

I explained everything | knew, including Alpha Sebastian’s information about the suspicious vehicle. Meanwhile, building management corroborated details as best they could.

Alpha Sebastian was currently in pursuit of that vehicle with Tang, his trusted enforcer.
