Abandoned Luna Now Untouchable (Cecilia) novel Chapter 341

Chapter 341: Chapter 341 Seeking Safe Haven

Cecilia’s pov

"There’s no rush. Just find a hotel tonight and get some rest."Sebastian ’s voice melted into something softer.

"Yeah, your location got exposed, but it’s not all Harper’s fault. I screwed up too. Tell her not to beat herself up over it. And you, don’t push yourself too hard. Slow down. Take a breath. Get your head straight."

Then came that voice. That low, velvety tone he used when he meant every word."I’ve got this under control. Do whatever feels right to you."

My heart fluttered like he’d kissed me through the phone.

It was ridiculous, but it hit me that hard.

"Okay," I whispered.

He gave Harper and Tang a few more instructions.

His tone stayed calm, even polite, but the message underneath was sharp and cold.

When the call ended, Harper rubbed the back of her neck.

Tang tried to lighten the mood. "Harper, this isn’t all on you. We should’ve gone straight to the lake house. If we hadn’t stopped for lunch, Alpha Xavier wouldn’t have had the chance to call. It’s on me too."

Harper gave him a small smile.

"You don’t need to take the fall for my screw-up, Tang. I’m not some fragile little thing. I know when I mess up, and I can take the heat.

But let’s be honest, you got dragged into this. I made the mistake, and now you’re the one cleaning it up and getting yelled at with me. That’s not fair, and I’m sorry."

Tang just shook his head. "It’s not a big deal."

I cleared my throat, trying to break up the guilt spiral."So... when do you think Xavier and Henry will wake up?"

"Three hours, maybe more," Tang said. "Plenty of time to vanish."

I hated that word.

Disappearing. Hiding. Running. But that’s exactly what we were doing.

Once Xavier got a scent, he wouldn’t let go.

I knew Sebastian and Cassian were already busy handling Maggie Locke. I didn’t want to be another fire they had to put out.

We were already talking about Xavier, so I looked at Harper."What did that bastard actually say to you?"

Harper rolled her eyes."What do you think? The usual crap. He wanted me to talk you into ending the pregnancy."

She paused.

"But honestly? That wasn’t the real goal. He just needed me to stay on the line long enough to track us."

I scoffed. "He can’t do a single decent thing. All he does is stir up chaos."

Harper straightened up.

"And who the hell does he think he is? Acting like he has some sort of authority over you? "

She narrowed her eyes. "Don’t tell me he’s still hoping to get back together with you."

I went quiet for a second.

"I think he’s just bored out of his mind.Or maybe he really believes he still has a say in my life. "

"Okay, that’s not even remotely funny."

That killed the conversation.

Harper leaned her head back and shut her eyes.

I let myself relax too, just for a moment.

Tang had called in a car not long after the call ended.

This one was unmarked, a plain black SUV with a driver who didn’t ask questions.

It wasn’t exactly comfortable, but it felt safer. At least for now.

I stared out the window at the endless black, my thoughts spiraling.

Far off in the mountains, a small light blinked. It looked like a star sitting on the ground. It was tiny and far away, but I couldn’t look away.
