Abandoned Luna: Now Untouchable-Chapter 342 Dangerous Games

Cecilia’s pov

I froze.

It felt like a fireball had slammed into my chest and exploded outward. Heat surged through my veins, curling around my ribs, wrapping tight around my lungs.

Even breathing felt heavy. Too much. Too warm.

My skin tingled like it couldn’t decide if it wanted to shiver or burn.

Every bone in my body buzzed with sweet, unbearable tension.

I licked my lips, trying to blink the haze out of my eyes.

"That’s cute," I said, barely keeping my voice steady. "Keep going."

Sebastian let out a low, rough chuckle.That sound alone made my thighs clench.

"So that’s it?" he murmured. "I pour it on thick... and you just sit there, blushing? Not even a little something in return?"

I swallowed hard. Damn him.

My insides were turning to mush, and he knew it.

I glanced over at Harper and Tang. They were both suddenly very busy pretending to look anywhere but at me.

It was getting awkward fast.

"Give me a second," I muttered, covering the phone with my hand.

I stood up and walked straight into the small adjoining room, ignoring Harper’s annoyed muttering behind me.

I shut the door. Locked it.

I dropped my voice to a slow, sultry purr.

"So..." I said slowly. "Wanna know how much I miss you?"

He didn’t say anything. I could hear his breathing. It was quiet, tight, like he was holding back.

Good. He was listening.

"Should I say your name?" I whispered. "Real soft, just loud enough for you to hear it? Or maybe... I could slide my hand under the sheets and start touching myself. Let you hear the way I sound when I think about you."

The silence on the other end was deafening.

I smiled, letting the moment stretch. Then leaned back against the wall, pressing the phone tighter to my ear.

"Too bad you’re not here, Sebas," I added, voice like silk. "I’d make it worth your while."

Then I leaned in close to the phone and pressed a loud kiss to the mic.

And hung up.

Author’s pov

It was almost 1 a.m. by the time Alpha Xavier finally came to.He sat up slowly, scowling as he rubbed the back of his neck where the tranquilizer had hit.

Tang had left a flashlight nearby; Alpha Xavier grabbed it, flipped it on, and scanned the area. Beta Henry was still unconscious a few feet away.

Alpha Xavier gave him a rough shake.

"Wake up."

Beta Henry jolted upright, eyes wild. "Alpha!"

"What time is it?" Alpha Xavier snapped.

Beta Henry checked his watch. "One-oh-three."

The scowl on Alpha Xavier’s face deepened. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

He got to his feet and climbed back up toward the road.

At the top, five men in black dress shirts were waiting by the roadside, standing like they belonged in a security detail. Broad-shouldered, alert, and clearly trained.

As soon as they saw Alpha Xavier, three of them stepped forward.

"Who are you? What do you want?" Beta Henry asked, his voice tight.

The man in front, square-faced and calm, gave a polite smile.

"Silver Peak Pack. Alpha Sebastian sent us. He’s expecting Alpha Xavier."

Alpha Xavier didn’t even flinch.He gave the man a cold look.

"Tell Alpha Sebastian I’m not in the mood for a chat."

He turned to leave, but the men blocked his path.

The square-faced man kept his voice calm.

"I’m sorry, but you don’t have a choice. Our Alpha gave clear orders. You can walk with us, or we can make sure you get there. Either way, you’re coming. So let’s not waste time."

Alpha Xavier’s jaw tightened. "Get out of my way."

The man didn’t move.

Alpha Xavier shoved his hand aside, but the man blocked him again.

He moved smoothly and didn’t look angry, like this was routine for him.

Beta Henry quickly stepped in, grabbing Alpha Xavier’s arm. "Alpha, please. Just hear him out. Maybe you’ll get a chance to ask about Cecilia."

These guys weren’t amateurs, and they were outnumbered. Picking a fight would only make things worse.

Alpha Xavier glared at Beta Henry.

The square-faced man added, "We’re just following orders. Please, get in the car. No one wants this to turn into a scene."

After a long pause, Alpha Xavier shrugged off Beta Henry’s hand.

"Hard to get in the car when you’re clinging to my sleeve like a kid."

Beta Henry let go, stepping back.

Without another word, Alpha Xavier climbed into the waiting SUV, his face like stone.

--

By four in the morning, the sky was just starting to lighten.

The convoy rolled into downtown Denver, and Alpha Xavier was led straight into a hotel suite.

Alpha Sebastian was already there, seated on a couch with a laptop on his knee. He didn’t look up.

"I’ve been up all night because of you," he said flatly.

Alpha Xavier gave a cold chuckle.

"Is that supposed to make me feel guilty? I’m flattered you care."

Alpha Sebastian closed the laptop, removed his gold-rimmed glasses, and set both aside.

His gaze was cool and focused.

"I thought you wanted to be my ally, Alpha Xavier. Now I’m starting to wonder if you’re just another set of eyes sent by the enemy."

Alpha Xavier walked over and sat down across from him, his posture cocky but his voice sharp."Don’t twist this. That’s not even close to the truth."

"You think hiding her will stop me?" Alpha Xavier leaned forward. "She’s confused. When she calms down, she’ll see things clearly. As her ex-husband, it’s my responsibility to keep her from making the biggest mistake of her life."

Alpha Sebastian tapped his fingers on the armrest, tone unreadable."So you think I’ve locked her away to trick her into having my child?"

Alpha Xavier scoffed."What else would you be doing?"

Alpha Sebastian reached into a folder and pulled out a document, sliding it across the table.

Alpha Xavier picked it up, visibly annoyed. His eyes moved down the page, then narrowed.

"What is this? What’s your point?"

Alpha Sebastian ’s voice stayed calm.

"I’m telling you I’m hiding her because I’m cleaning up the mess you made."

Alpha Xavier’s face darkened.

"What the hell are you talking about? Have you lost it?"

Alpha Sebastian leaned back, a faint smile on his lips, dangerous and deliberate.

"Did you know someone planted a poisoned needle in her clothing? "

"Any idea who would do something like that?"

"Think it through. Who dragged her into all this? Who made her a target?"

Each question landed like a hammer.

Alpha Xavier’s face slowly drained of color.
