Abandoned Luna Now Untouchable (Cecilia) novel Chapter 99

Cecilia

I spotted Yvonne across the room, looking as sweet and alluring as ever.

It had been a while since we’d last met.

“Darling, over here!” she called out with her characteristic charm, waving enthusiastically.

Her flirtatious greeting drew attention from others in the reception.

1 knew everyone here already heard the drama between me, Xavier, and Cici.

Probably more than people on social media.

If things weren’t so messy with Xavier and the Shadow Pack, they’d be trying to be my friend

But they didn’t want to upset the Blood Moon Pack or the Shadow Pack.

So, they played it safe. Stayed neutral.

It was like they all agreed:

[You don’t need Cici to get close to Alpha Sebastian, but if you’re seen being nice to her – you might make the wrong people mad. You don’t have to go through Cecilia to get close to Alpha Sebastian,but if you want to piss off the Blood Moon and Shadow Packs, just be nice to Cecilia in public.]

Yvonne, however, couldn’t careless about pack politics or what others thought.

She’d weathered many storms and simply categorized the world into people she liked and people she didn’t.

“Yvonne-” I greeted her warmly.

I gave Alpha Sebastian a polite smile. “Excuse me-l need to check on a friend,” I said, then turned and started walking.

Behind me, I could almost hear the guests shifting into position, ready to close in.

It’s not every day Alpha Sebastian shows up at a party.

Then I heard footsteps.

“Why are you walking so fast?” he asked, suddenly right beside me.

I glanced at him, surprised, “I’m not,” I said casually. “Just heading over there.”

He looked amused. “What, am I that scary of a boss?”

Across the room, I caught Yvonne staring at us with her mouth slightly open, like she couldn’t believe what she was seeing.

Up until that point, I’d been doing okay-calm, collected, totally fine.

But the way he said it, the way he just. followed me like that?

It felt way too personal.

Like. this wasn’t just small talk anymore.

It kind of felt like we were about to meet his mom or something.

When I reached Yvonne, she immediately turned her charm toward him. ” Alpha Sebastian,” she greeted warmly.

He acknowledged her and engaged in some casual conversation.

I seized the opportunity to grab two drinks from a passing waiter, handing one to Alpha Sebastian.

Meanwhile, Mr. Chu approached. After exchanging a few words with Alpha Sebastian, he invited him to a more private area.

Before leaving, Alpha Sebastian turned to Yvonne and said, “Take care of Cecilia for me, will you?”

“Absolutely! I’ll look after her perfectly,” Yvonne replied with a grin.

As Alpha Sebastian walked away, I became acutely aware of the stares around me. I felt Like a T-Rex-why else would everyone look so terrified?

Yvonne linked her arm through mine, her expression proud. “Sweetheart, how did you turn a narrow path into a golf course? This is spectacular!”

Let’s talk outside,” I suggested.

“Sure thing-” she chirped.

We made our way to the terrace.

In the distance, I noticed a couple of mutual friends I shared with Xavier. They smiled and raised their glasses in greeting but didn’t approach.

“That’s actually pretty decent of them/” Yvonne said, patting my hand reassuringly.

“Without Alpha Sebastian in the picture, do you think theyd even acknowledge your existence? The fact that they’re not pretending you’re invisible shows they still have some decency.”

She was right. Without Alpha Sebastian’s influence, they probably wouldn’t have spared me even a smile. Being ignored would have been the best-case scenario.

“I’m benefiting from his shadow,” I admitted with a small smile.

“These people are shrewd. Can’t really blame them though-who knows which of the Blood Moon Pack or the Shadow Pack loyalists might be watching tonight?” Yvonne tilted her chin toward a woman in a purple top across the terrace. “Speaking of which…” Following her gaze, I spotted Ana.
