Abandoned Luna Now Untouchable (Cecilia) novel Chapter 291

Chapter 291: Chapter 291 Shadow of Suspicion

Author’s pov

The weekend arrived faster than Cecilia had anticipated.

As eveningsettled over Denver, her phone buzzed with a text from Alpha Xavier while she was preparing dinner.

[Meeting tomorrow at 9 AM. I’ll wait for you in the garage.]

Cecilia stared at the screen, her jaw tightening.

The last thing she needed was Alpha Xavier ambushing her in the morning, blocking her car like some territorial man-child.

After a pause, she typed back: [Can’t make it. I have plans this weekend.]

Alpha Xavier didn’t respond. Typical. Always silent when he didn’t get his way.

Meanwhile, across town at the Blood Moon Pack’s main residence, Alpha Xavier sat stiffly on a leather armchair, his phone still in hand, Cecilia’s message weighing heavily on him.

His jaw clenched. Had she changed her mind? Was she going through with a termination? Without telling him?

"Xavier, sweetheart." Luna Dora’s voice cut clean through the silence as she placed two sleek profile folders on the table. "This one’s Charlotte. Her father sits on the National Finance Council.

And here’s Isabelle. Her family owns half the biotech patents in California. Both come from prominent families. Which one catches your eye?"

Xavier didn’t even glance at them. His expression turned to stone. "None of them."

Luna Dora’s lips pressed into a thin line. She’d spent the whole week arranging matches for him, and he hadn’t even bothered to look.

"Do you know why your father rushed back to Geneva?" she said, her voice sharp. "That woman’s son is getting married. He’s eighteen. Still a kid. But she’s making moves, and we’re falling behind."

She leaned forward, eyes narrowing."They’re trying to get an heir on the books before you do. And if they pull it off, your father might change who inherits everything. He’s still pissed about the Shadow Pack mess. She’s using it to claw her way back into power."

She slapped the table. "I don’t care what it takes. You will choose someone appropriate, get married, and secure your position by the end of the year. No more delays."

Alpha Xavier stood slowly, his expression like carved ice. Without a word, he turned and walked out, leaving Luna Dora staring after him, breathing hard.

The household manager hovered near the doorway, hesitant."Luna... I overheard the young Alpha earlier. He was on the phone with someone who sounded like a doctor. They discussed a 1 PM appointment... and post-surgical nutrition."

Luna Dora’s head snapped up."Surgery?"

"Yes, Luna. They talked for quite a while."

A flash of fear crossed her face. Xavier was her only child, the only thing keeping her in power. She snatched up her phone and called Beta Henry.

"Is Alpha Xavier scheduled for anything medical tomorrow?"

"I...I’m not sure, Luna."

"Don’t lie to me, Henry. I’ll call every hospital in Colorado if I have to."

Silence. Then: "The Alpha asked me to look into some clinics. But I don’t know about any appointment tomorrow. It’s Saturday. I’m not on his calendar."

"What kind of clinic?"

A beat."Ob-Gyn."

Luna Dora went still. Her eyes narrowed. "Who’s the patient?"

Beta Henry didn’t answer.

The silence stretched, heavy and hostile.

Finally, Cecilia spoke."If you’ve got something to say, say it. Don’t waste my time."

Luna Dora’s nostrils flared. The nerve of this girl. Just because she’d once been useful didn’t mean she had the right to speak to a Luna.

She cleared her throat. "I heard you’re visiting a hospital tomorrow. Are you ill?"

Cecilia blinked. Hospital? What the hell was she talking about? Then it clicked.

Did Xavier actually tell his mother he thinks I’m pregnant with Sebastian’s kid?

Even for him, that would be a new level of unhinged.

"There’s nothing wrong with my health," she replied coolly. "And I’m not going to any hospital. You and your son need to stop projecting your fantasies onto my life."

She paused, then said, "By the way, Cici broke out of custody."

Luna Dora’s breath caught.

"Yeah," Cecilia continued calmly. "You remember her, right? The one we both helped put away? I imagine she remembers you too. If I were you, I’d upgrade your security. She’s not the forgiving type."

She hung up.

Luna Dora sat frozen, blood thudding in her ears. Cici was free? That explained the tarot reader. The cryptic predictions. The sense of being watched.

And now Cecilia. Could she really be pregnant with Xavier’s child?

If that child were born... it would shift everything.
