Abandoned Luna Now Untouchable (Cecilia) novel Chapter 92

Cecilia

I tensed at his words.

Did want to return to Denver first?

His tone suggested he’d seen through my thoughts and was-displeased.

But I had only considered the possibility briefly-why was he being so harsh?

“Very well, if you’ve given permission, I’ll head back then,” I replied, my voice deliberately calm and measured.

What was behind his displeasure and harshness? Nothing but my insensitivity from this morning and just now.

It seemed my days as his secretary were numbered… because I couldn’t bring myself to play along with his moods.

After I responded, Alpha Sebastian said nothing more.

The atmosphere in the car grew even heavier than before.

Our driver glanced nervously between us, clearly wondering why the tension kept escalating.

We continued driving without further conversation.

Alpha Sebastian never clarified his intentions, and I didn’t ask. An hour later, we arrived at a private club.

We both got out of the car. I walked straight to the trunk and retrieved my luggage.

“Enjoy your time with your friend, Alpha Sebastian. I’ll head back to Denver now,” I said pleasantly, extending the handle of my suitcase.

Alpha Sebastian placed his hand firmly on my luggage, his intense gaze settling on me for a long moment before he spoke in a low, husky voice. “This is my emotional problem.” I smiled faintly. “With your status and position, you’re entitled to unleash your temper on the whole world.”

Alpha Sebastian seemed struck by my gentle barb.

After another lengthy silence, he said, “Then I’ll make sure you’re not part of that world.” I stood frozen, feeling like a small stone had dropped into the still pond of my thoughts.

This… wasn’t right…

Alpha Sebastian returned my luggage to the car and walked toward the club entrance.

I had no choice but to follow.

When he saw us entering, he put out his cigarette and went back inside.

Alpha Sebastian and I walked in.

The manager respectfully escorted us to the elevator. “Mr. Cassian Locke is waiting for you on the fifth floor.”

“Mm.” Alpha Sebastian acknowledged and stepped into the elevator.

I followed, positioning myself slightly behind and to his left.

We quickly reached the fifth floor.

Alpha Sebastian walked directly toward the central private room.

As we approached, I spoke up. “Alpha Sebastian, I’Ll wait outside.”

Alpha Sebastian turned back. “There’s plenty of space inside.” His meaning was clear: follow me in.

“….Very well,” I conceded,

Alpha Sebastian pushed open the door.

Upon entering, I immediately saw an extremely handsome man sitting at a large round table in the spacious room.

His chest muscles were… impressive. He’d clearly put in the work.

Suddenly, my vision went dark.

A large hand covered my eyes while simultaneously turning my head and body away.

‘Stop staring at the malnourished specimen. Go wait over there,” Alpha Sebastian murmured, giving my waist a gentle push.

I felt utterly mortified

I’d seen him the moment we walked in-it wasn’t like I’d been deliberately looking.

After making sure I was seated with my back to them, Alpha Sebastian approached Cassian. “Button up your shirt.”

“I’m hot,” Cassian replied. “Aren’t you? With your suit, dress shirt, and tie, all buttoned up so properly. Why don’t you take them off? Be comfortable like me.”

“Why not skin yourself completely? That would be even cooler.”

“So violent? Did your love for me die so quickly?”

I sat frozen on the couch, listening with growing confusion.

Wait… what was that?

Were they flirting?

Her body tensed slightly, though she tried to maintain her relaxed posture.

Cassian leaned back in his chair, studying Sebastian’s face. “Mrs. White and my eldest aunt are cousins. Family connections, you know how it is among old bloodlines.”

Alpha Sebastian raised an eyebrow. “What a coincidence.”

“Mrs. White visited the Locke family compound the day before yesterday,” Cassian continued. “I imagine it was about this matter. She seemed quite… determined.”

Alpha Sebastian’s expression darkened. “Oh? Is Shadow Pack looking to the Locke family for assistance now? Does your aunt call the shots in your family these days?” His tone carried ummistakable mockery, and beneath it, something more personal.

The Locke family was… complicated. And Alpha Sebastian knew more than most.

The family was run by Cassian’s uncle, Zane Locke.

The current hostess-his uncle’s wife-used to be his mistress. She basically forced her way into the family while pregnant.

The original hostess?

She was too gentle to fight back.

And then, one day, she and her five-year-old son died in a car crash.

A lot of people thought it wasn’t really an accident.

They said she was nine months pregnant at the time-just days away from giving birth to another Locke heir.

Whispers went around the circles that the mistress had something to do with the crash.

But the police found no proof, and the Elder Council chose to stay out of it.

Eventually, people stopped talking about it, but the Locke name never quite recovered from the scandal.

Alpha Sebastian knew all of this because his own mother, Luna Regina, always visited the original hostess’ grave whenever they came to Colorado Springs.

She’d been close friends with her and believed, without a doubt, that she’d been murdered.

Cassian’s face turned serious, something that didn’t happen often.

“You don’t know what that woman’s capable of,” he said. “She’s got a lot of people in the family under her control. After Grandma threatened to kill herself to force my uncle to name me heir. I’ve had more than one close call.”

He ran a hand through his hair-a rare sign he was actually stressed

“My uncle’s been… different lately. Said he had a dream the other day. About his son and the baby girl that never got to be born. Said they were calling to him.”
