Abandoned Luna Now Untouchable (Cecilia) novel Chapter 95

Cecilia

My eyes widened in shock.

It was like a 9.0 earthquake had just rattled through my brain.

Harper had completely lost her mind!

But what threw me into true panic was Alpha Sebastian’s response.

He crossed his arms, leaned back, and furrowed his brow as if considering a major business deal. After what seemed like an eternity of contemplation, he actually concluded, “Hmm, it’s not an impossible idea.”

What the hell was he thinking?!

Harper, suddenly realizing she might have opened Pandora’s box with her impulsive suggestion, glanced between us nervously. “Haha, right?” she laughed awkwardly, clearly hoping to end the conversation.

But once opened, Pandora’s box wasn’t so easily closed. Alpha Sebastian added, “While feasible, I doubt she’d have the courage for it.” His gaze drifted to me, light but purposeful.

I wasn’t about to declare myself brave in this situation. Playing dead seemed like my only viable option.

The atmosphere grew painfully awkward.

Harper’s eyes darted between us several times.

She leaned toward Alpha Sebastian, resting her arm on the table, and asked cautiously,

“So… courage is the only requirement?”

Alpha Sebastian didn’t answer, just fixed her with a cool stare.

Harper blinked, then smirked. “Well, damn. If that’s all it takes, how are you not already married to half the she-wolves on the East Coast?”

I nearly choked on my own breath.

Alpha Sebastian stared at her, utterly speechless.

Then he gave a cool laugh and stood up, walking away.

Harper watched him leave before shooting me a look: Let’s get out of here.

I quickly rose from my seat.

We took a few steps,, then said a hasty goodbye to Liam before practically running out.

Back at my apartment, I gave Harper a few dramatic smacks on the arm.

“Ow! I’m sorry!” she yelped, ducking away with a laugh. “I just blurted it out, okay? Who knew he’d actually consider it? Maybe you should think about it too. Be a little Brave for once.”

I rolled my eyes. “Please. The bravest thing I’ve ever done is keep you around as a friend.” She gasped like id mortally wounded her, and I couldn’t help but laugh-especially remembering the look on Alpha Sebastian’s face when Harper dropped that bomb.

“Honestly, though? You were hilarious. I didn’t know you had that in you.” Harper shook her head and flopped onto the couch, groaning. “Don’t encourage me.” Lignored her dramatics and went about my usual bedtime routine-tossed some clothes in the wash, took a hot shower, then finally collapsed into bed, wrapped in soft sheets that smelled like lavender and fabric softener.

I lay face down with my eyes closed.

Harper, who was staying over, scrolled through her phone beside me.

Seeing me bury my face in the pillow, she scooted closer and whispered, “Seriously, Cecilia… Xavier’s going to marry Cici. Are you really not feeling any… negative emotions about it?”

With my eyes still closed, 1 answered lazily, “Of course I feel something. I think it’s disgusting and nauseating. Good thing you didn’t tell me before we ate lasagna, or it would have ruined them.”

Harper smiled, relieved.

“So,” she ventured, “Alpha Sebastian Black is quite the feast for the eyes. Why not take a bite of that meat?”

My mind wandered to dangerous places, my face heating up. “Are you sure I’d be the one-doing the biting? Have you ever seen a gazelle eat a lion on the African savanna?” She was giving me way too much credit.

Harper laughed. “Does it matter who eats whom? When the feeling’s right, you become part of each other. Why bother distinguishing between water and milk once they’re mixed?” I cracked open one eye. “Dear Harper, maybe find yourself a boyfriend first before acting like some experienced love guru. Your lifelong single status doesn’t exactly qualify you as an expert.”

Harper opened her mouth, then deflated completely.

After the morning meeting concluded, I received a call from Jasmine, my former colleague from Blood Moon Pack.

She invited me to lunch.

I glanced at Alpha Sebastian walking ahead of me. He had no lunch appointments today, and Beta Sawyer would be here, so I could afford to step out. “Sure, which restaurant?”

“The Hidden Spring.”

“Great, I’ll bè there around noon.”

“Sounds good,Secretary Cecilia” Jasmine replied, her voice betraying a hint of nervousness.

el put my phone away.

Alpha Sebastian glanced back at me, his gaze penetrating yet unreadable.

I wondered: What was that look for? Did he disapprove of me having lunch with a former colleague?

The three of us entered the elevator along with several executives who respectfully exchanged pleasantries with Alpha Sebastian.

Their eyes repeatedly drifted to me, filled with speculation that told me blearly… great, there would be fresh gossip circulating soon.

When we reached our floor and exited the elevator, Alpha Sebastian slowed his pace.

Beta Sawyer and I appropriately slowed down as well!

Alpha Sebastian turned around, his eyes now carrying obvious displeasure. “You’re not Blood Moon Pack anymore. You have a new boss now.*

“She just got used to it.” replied, somewhat exasperated.

Was he seriously bothered by this? He was being ridiculously controlling!
