Abandoned Luna Now Untouchable (Cecilia) novel Chapter 338

Chapter 338: Chapter 338 Moving Pieces

Cecilia’s pov

Sebastian said nothing.Only his ice-cold stare spoke for him as he regarded Harper.

I narrowed my eyes at him. "Don’t glare at her like that."

Harper patted my hand in reassurance. "It’s fine, really. I’ll go."

With the kind of deep breath people take before jumping out of planes, she stood up and followed Sebastian out like she was heading to her own trial.

Cassian leaned back in his chair, looking completely calm.

"Relax," he said, stretching out in his chair. "Sebastian treats rules like gospel. He won’t lay a finger on her."

Twenty minutes later, they emerged from the study.

Harper had gone in looking like she was walking toward a firing squad. She came out practically glowing, like she’d just walked off a game show stage with a giant check.

The transformation was so dramatic, I stared at her like she’d betrayed me in a dramatic TV twist.

I pulled her aside to a quiet corner. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"What did he do, hypnotize you?"

Her whole vibe had done a complete 180.

Now she was suddenly all in.

She kept telling me to stick with Sebastian, have his babies, take over the pack, and live it up as the Luna of Silver Peak Pack.

"Okay, seriously. How much did he pay you?" I said, half-joking.

Harper scoffed. "Oh, please. I’m not that easy."

I shot her a look. The one that says, I’ve known you since forever, and I’m definitely not buying that.

She sighed and threw her hands up. "Fine. Legal counsel job. Seven-figure salary."

My jaw hit the floor. I didn’t know whether to laugh, cry, or ask if Sebastian was still hiring.

But deep down, I knew Harper.

She wouldn’t flip sides just for a paycheck. Not even one with that many zeroes.

The truth was written all over her face. She trusted him.

Whatever Sebastian said in that room, it worked.

Author’s pov

Three days later, Cecilia was packing for the trip to the safehouse Sebastian had arranged.

To the outside world, she was heading out on a business trip to handle a contract dispute on behalf of his company.

To make it believable, Sebastian sent a new legal consultant with her. That consultant was Harper, of course.

The secretarial team and office staff didn’t suspect a thing.

Cecilia called her parents and told them she’d be traveling somewhere with spotty reception.If they couldn’t reach her for a while, it wasn’t a big deal.

Harper gave her own family and law firm a similar heads-up.

Everything was going exactly the way Sebastian had mapped it out.

Two weeks. Completely off the grid.

When Alpha Yardley caught wind of Cecilia’s sudden absence, he called Alpha Sebastian immediately. His voice thundered through the phone the second Alpha Sebastian picked up.

"Have you lost your damn mind? Sending Cece on a business trip? What are you thinking?!"

Alpha Sebastian remained calm. "If I don’t cover for her this way, people are going to start asking questions when she stops showing up."

Alpha Yardley understood. He went quiet.

"Also," Alpha Sebastian added, "tell Mom she won’t be able to make it to Colorado Springs this time. Maybe next visit."

He hung up before Alpha Yardley could reply.
