Abandoned Luna Now Untouchable (Cecilia) novel Chapter 393

Chapter 393: Chapter 393 Deception Unraveled

Author’s pov

Alpha Sebastian was furious, his voice tight with barely contained anger. "Where exactly are you walking right now ? "

He asked again, each word clipped and sharp. "The hotel garden, maybe ? "

Tang froze, his face twisting in panic. His fingers tightened around the steering wheel, knuckles white, as if gripping it could somehow keep him safe.

He turned to Cecilia, eyes wide and pleading for rescue.

Her stomach dropped. A cold wave of dread spread through her chest.

She’d deliberately kept her family’s trip to Colorado Springs a secret from Alpha Sebastian, but now her careful plan was unraveling right in front of her.

She could almost feel his anger humming through the phone—a low, electric threat just waiting to explode.

Cecilia rubbed her forehead, trying to steady her breathing as a sharp dizziness crept in.

[ This can’t be happening, ] she thought. [ I turned off location sharing last time. Did he switch it back on without telling me ? ]

"Answer me. "

Alpha Sebastian’s voice cut through the silence, low and dangerous.

Tang flinched and shoved the phone toward her like it was burning his hands.

"Alpha, Cecilia wants to talk to you, "he stammered and practically jumped out of the car to escape.

Cecilia stared at the phone as if it might explode. Her reflection in the dark screen looked pale, lips pressed tight.

After a deep breath, she lifted it to her ear.

"Don’t blame Tang, "she said, keeping her tone even, almost light. "This was my idea. We were in the garden earlier, but then my mom called. My grandmother came to Colorado Springs to see a doctor, and I’ve missed them. I asked Tang to give me a quick ride. "

The excuse rolled off her tongue smoothly, sounding so casual it almost felt true.

Her hand trembled slightly, but her voice didn’t betray it. She forced herself to sound calm, to sound like someone who had everything under control.

For a few seconds, Alpha Sebastian said nothing.

The silence stretched thin, heavy, pressing against her chest like a physical weight.

He was still angry, but he couldn’t bring himself to yell. And he didn’t call out her obvious lie.

"Next time, tell me before you go anywhere. It’s not safe out there, and you know it. "

Cecilia didn’t argue. "I’m sorry for worrying you. "

There was a quiet sigh on the other end, and his voice softened a little.

"At least you apologize fast, "he said. "Finish what you’re doing and come back. No more wandering off. " 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Of course, "she said quickly. "Tang and I are already on our way. "

"I’ll be back soon, "he said.

"No need to rush, "she replied, forcing a light tone. "Enjoy your time there while you can. "

"There’s nothing to enjoy, "Alpha Sebastian said dryly. "And tell Harper not to ruin her eyesight spying for you. If she does, I’ll be the one paying her medical bills. "
