Lahat ng Kabanata ng Abandoned Luna: Now Untouchable: Kabanata 351 - Kabanata 360

Cecilia 's povThe misunderstanding had officially spun out of control.Now I get it.They thought I was Cassian’s girlfriend. That’s why they were all so welcoming."Martha, I think there’s been a mix-up," I said quickly. "Cassian and I are just... friends. Normal friends."She froze, her face basically saying, Sure, and I’m the Queen of England.Tang, ever the helpful disaster, decided to jump in."Cassian doesn’t have time for dating," he said cheerfully. "He’s too busy dodging bombs, jumping out of moving cars, and watching his back for knives."Martha looked one breath away from fainting. "I...what bombs ? What cars ? What in the world are you talking about ?"Before he could dig the hole any deeper, I slapped my hand over his mouth."Please ignore him," I said through a tight smile. "Cassian is perfectly fine. Nothing’s happened to him. Really."The room went cold.The warm, slightly chaotic chatter from earlier vanished. Even the sound of forks tapping plates suddenly felt too lo

Author 's povLiora hesitated. "You mean that woman ? The one who showed up with Luna Regina the day you were…""Publicly embarrassed ?" Maggie offered with a cool smile, one brow arching."I was going to say… when things got a little out of hand," Liora corrected quickly."Cecilia," Maggie said, her tone suddenly colder."That’s the one," Liora confirmed, her voice dropping slightly as if the name itself carried weight."But how did you know she was even in Colorado Springs ? Or that she’d turn up at Martha’s place ?""I know everything," Maggie said with a soft smile. She placed a hand on Liora’s shoulder and walked behind her, her voice brushing against Liora’s ear. "Nothing escapes my attention.""Then… do you know she’s pregnant ?"The air between them turned to glass.Maggie’s fingers gave the faintest twitch on Liora’s shoulder.Then she let out a sharp little laugh. "Well. I suppose I overstated my omniscience. That particular detail slipped through."She paused, then added wit

Cecilia 's povI stumbled through the darkness, every step shaky and unsure.In my rush to chase after Harper, I hadn’t even thought to grab a flashlight.Thankfully, the moon was bright enough that my eyes slowly adjusted.I could just make out the shapes of cracked headstones and mossy angel statues rising from the weeds."Harper! Stop! Please!" I shouted at the shadowy figure ahead. "Let’s go back!"I’d been running too long. And being pregnant wasn’t helping.My chest ached. My lungs burned. My legs felt like they barely belonged to me.Finally, I stopped and pressed my hand against the nearest column to steady myself.That’s when I looked down and froze.It wasn’t a column.It was a gravestone.Old, chipped, and leaning at an angle, half-buried in the dirt like it was trying to disappear.I’d been bracing myself against someone’s actual grave.My stomach flipped. I jerked back, hands up like I’d just touched something electric."Sorry," I mumbled automatically. "Didn’t mean to… uh…

Author 's povCassian crouched beside Harper, his face calm and unreadable, even in the ridiculous setting of a tree hollow.Moonlight slipped in through the opening above, casting a pale glow across his features.For a second, he almost looked like a character out of a dream."Hey, Harper," he said softly. "We meet again."Harper stared at him, eyes blank. After a moment, she suddenly smiled like she knew exactly who he was.But Cassian could tell she had the wrong person."Agent Zero!" she shouted, smacking her thigh with excitement.Cassian blinked.He almost fell over.Before he could say anything, Harper started looking around like she was deep in enemy territory.Then she pointed up at the hollow’s opening."This is it! The Black Forest’s secret base. They’ve taken us prisoner!"Her voice dropped to a whisper. "You're here to get me out, right ?"Cassian instantly got the picture. Whatever hit her system had sent her into full spy-drama mode.He didn’t hesitate. He leaned in and

Cecilia 's povWhat was that sound ?Maybe a cat ?That was my first thought.I’d heard something like that last night. It sounded like a cat crying in the dark.I froze. My ears strained to catch it again.The noise came and went, thin as wind through a cracked window. Faint, but it tugged at something deep in my chest.I didn’t go looking. I sank back into the couch, pressing my back hard against the cushions.But after a minute, I shot to my feet and turned toward the hallway where Sebastian and Cassian had gone.That wasn’t a cat. I could feel it.I followed the same path and spotted Cassian at the far end of the hall."I just heard crying from the sitting room," I whispered. "It sounded... off. I didn’t want to check it alone."Cassian’s eyes sharpened. "I’ll go with you."He turned on his heel and headed back, his steps fast and heavy. I had to jog to keep up.As we walked, he called Sebastian.A moment later, Sebastian turned the corner, saw me out of breath, and picked me up wi
