Abandoned Luna Now Untouchable (Cecilia) novel Chapter 379

Chapter 379: Chapter 379 Alpha’s Secrets

Author’s pov

The entire room plunged into suffocating silence.

After Sebastian’s declaration, everyone could feel the air grow heavy with tension.

Especially Daisy.

Her eyes remained fixed on the doorway, her gaze suggesting she expected someone to burst in at any moment and drag her away.

"Bring me her phone,"Alpha Sebastian said.

A faint smile played at the corner of his lips, unnervingly calm.

"Right away,"Beta Sawyer nodded, turning to leave.

Moments later, Beta Sawyer returned with a black purse, placing it in front of Daisy before smoothly unzipping it.

The phone’s screen illuminated, displaying a name : "Victoria."

The color drained from Daisy’s face instantly, leaving her skin almost blue-tinged in its pallor.

Fighting to control her trembling hands, she retrieved the phone from her bag, drew a deep breath, and put it on speaker.

"Hello... Victoria, it’s late. Is something wrong ?"she managed.

An older woman’s voice came through, gentle yet commanding : "Daisy, has Riley’s fever broken ?"

"Yes, everything’s fine,"she struggled to keep her voice steady.

"Are you certain ? Maggie and I have been worried about you. Don’t disappoint us."

"It really has. She’s right here with me. Would you like me to video call ?"

After a brief silence, the woman responded coolly, "Good. In one hour, come to our usual estate. Maggie wants to see you."

Daisy closed her eyes momentarily. "Could we make it another day ?"

"I’m merely the messenger. This isn’t my decision to make. But I suggest you leave now."

"... I understand."

"Good luck."

The call ended.

Daisy seemed to collapse in on herself, her phone clattering to the floor.

Alpha Sebastian remarked with casual indifference, "Well ? Will you go ? Perhaps she thinks you’ve completed your mission and is waiting to give you a’reward.’"

Daisy looked as though something was lodged in her throat. Unable to speak, she knelt mechanically on the floor, fingers scratching at the old wooden floorboards like a trapped animal.

She began muttering to herself : "I won’t go... I don’t want to die... I don’t want to die... "

Suddenly, she jerked her head up, clinging to a thread of hope : "Sebastian, help me... you know the most, you must be able to save me... "

"Why should I save you ?"he cut her off, his voice cold as ice.

Looking down at her, his eyes held no warmth. "I’m not the type who shows mercy after being betrayed. Your disappearance would be a blessing for the my grandmother’s family. Keeping you alive is the real problem."

Daisy’s eyes reddened, her voice quivering : "We’ve known each other for over a decade. Do I really mean nothing to you ? I... I’ve always had feelings for you."

Sebastian’s expression remained impassive, as if her words never reached his ears.

"Instead of wasting breath on useless sentiments, consider whether you still hold any value to me. Be practical and say something that might save your life."

"You have one minute."

"If you can’t offer anything useful, I’ll send you to Maggie to tie up her loose ends."

Daisy’s mouth opened, but no words came out.

Alpha Sebastian glanced at his watch. "Fifty seconds left."

She panicked, her eyes darting wildly, her mind blank.

"Take her away,"Alpha Sebastian said calmly.

Tang rose from against the wall like a soldier following orders.

"I can testify against Maggie !"Daisy suddenly shouted.

Alpha Sebastian remained silent, merely signaling Tang to pause with a gesture, his gaze settling on her.

She rushed to continue : "I know some of her plans. I know where she meets people secretly in Colorado Springs... I can tell you everything."

Alpha Sebastian was quiet for a moment, waiting until she had emptied almost all she could offer before speaking slowly : "Tell me a few things first. Let me see if you’re worth keeping alive."

"... Alright."

She finally stopped crying, though her expression looked worse than when she had been.
