Abandoned Luna Now Untouchable (Cecilia) novel Chapter 93

Cecilia

Alpha Sebastian’s mockery grew more pronounced. “Isn’t his awakening coming a bit too late?”

Cassian laughed. “Late doesn’t even begin to cover it. If there truly is an afterlife, when they reunite-mother and both children-they’d be justified in tearing him apart piece by piece.”

“Why wait for him at all? Why give him any chance for redemption?” Alpha Sebastian asked coldly.

Cassian fell silent.

Their conversation shifted to matters concerning the Shadow Pack and the Locke family.

I could only catch fragments, leaving me with an incomplete understanding.

The Locke family…

I knew very little about Colorado Springs or the Locke family, except that they were the region’s most prominent family.

So Mrs. White had connections even here.

And from what I gathered, Cassian’s aunt held a central role in the Locke family… something akin to Snow White’s wicked stepmother.

But if the relationship between these female cousins was so solid, why hadn’t Mrs. White sought help earlier?

I hadn’t forgotten how Alpha Gavin had been practically groveling at that restaurant last week.

Alpha Sebastian’s voice carried over from the dining table again.

“You might as well wait and see. If Mrs. White truly made this trip just to seek help with Shadow Pack’s current troubles, merely bringing problems won’t earn her mountains of gold and silver.”

“What could the Shadow Pack possibly offer her?” Cassian’s tone dripped with disdain.

“That depends on what she wants. If she can’t give your aunt exactly what she desires, then Mrs. White’s trip will be wasted. But if it’s not wasted…” Alpha Sebastian’s fingers traced small circles on the table. “Then you’ll need to be careful.” Alpha Sebastian continued with a warning, “Something the Shadow Pack alone can’t provide might be possible if combined with what the Blood Moon Pack offers.”

“Didn’t those two packs have a falling out?”

“You don’t think they might be desperate enough to try anything?”

“Being born into the Locke family is fucking exhausting. Talk about terrible karia. Day after day, I’m the one playing the survival game! This whole heir business-whoever wants it can have it. I couldn’t care less!”

Alpha Sebastian said sympathetically. “Right. Your dream was to become a wild man in the Amazon. I remêmber.”

Cassian laughed incredulously. “Fuck! I said that when I was six, and you still remember it! Your love for me truly runs deep!

Hearing them start to flirt with each other, I withdrew my attention.

The Blood Moon Pack and Shadow Pack joining forces?

I pressed my lips together thoughtfully while popping a piece of honeydew melon into my mouth.

Having finished the fruit platter, I sat for a while until I needed to use the restroom.

I stood up quietly and slipped into the private bathroom attached to the suite.

Alpha Sebastian noticed the moment Cecilia stood up.

He watched as she tiptoed to the bathroom, finding her cautious movements amusing

“Your eyes might as well be glued to her,” Cassian remarked.

Alpha Sebastian reluctantly looked away.

Cassian asked, “Do you really like her?”

“Yes,” Alpha Sebastian replied simply.

Knowing what Cassian would ask next, he automatically added, “I’ve tried. She doesn’t feel the same way.”

Cassian’s expression transformed from shock to disbelief.

He suppressed a laugh. “Wait-so you actually confessed, and she turned you down? Damn.

Secretary Cecilia’s got worse taste than I thought.”

He gave Alpha Sebastian a playful shove. “Don’t worry, man. I’ll schedule her an eye exam.

Once she sees clearly, she’ll realize what a catch our sweet, emotionally-repressed Alpha Sebastian really is.”

“I can’t believe this happened to you. I need to remember this miraculous day: June 10th, Alpha Sebastian Black got rejected. Tell me the details-how did she turn you down? Was it brutal? You didn’t cry, did you?”

“If you feel like crying now, my shoulder is available.”

He was having the time of his life teasing Alpha Sebastian.

This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Alpha Sebastian narrowed his cold eyes at him. “Want to find out what happens if I cut out your tongue?”

When Cecilia emerged from the bathroom, they had relocated from the dining table to the sofas.

Earlier, when they’d first entered, Alpha Sebastian had immediately covered her eyes and pushed her away.
