Abandoned Luna: Now Untouchable のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 61 - チャプター 70

Xavier's povI entered the dining room of the Shadow Pack house, my wolf Kael growling in my mind, already sensing the tension in the air.Cici's face lit up the moment she saw me. "Xavier!" she squealed, leaping from her chair.She bounded toward me, her floral perfume assaulting my senses before she even got close. When she was still about ten feet away, I raised my hand in a blocking gesture, my revulsion so thick it felt like fog clogging in my chest.I sidestepped her completely. My focus was singular as I strode directly to where my parents sat.Looking my mother straight in the eyes, I demanded, "Who put you up to fabricating these lies? Do you think I haven't humiliated myself enough? Or do you believe I need to sink even lower into dishonor?"My mother, Luna Dora, stared at me in stunned silence, her pupils dilating with shock.The Shadow Pack family's expressions darkened collectively, the scent of their displeasure filling the air.They understood perfectly well what I meant

Sebastian's povI answered the phone while dismissively waving away the office full of executives who'd been attempting to flaunt their seniority through political maneuvering.Their hasty exit couldn't have been more transparent—each one practically sprinting for the door as if their lives depended on it."Cecilia, is something wrong?" I asked, pressing the phone to my ear, maintaining my characteristically cool tone."It's just that—I was scheduled to return to work the day after tomorrow since my leg has healed, but I need to visit my grandmother," Cecilia explained. "I'd like to request another week off."Her voice maintained its usual composure, but I could detect the slight tremor beneath her words. She was putting on a brave face, though I knew better.I remained silent for several seconds."You seem to be developing the fond of skipping work, Cecilia. Don't tell me you're planning to milk that workplace injury forever?" I finally replied, my tone deliberately provocative."No,

Cecilia's povThe night road stretched endlessly before me, traffic still flowing steadily despite the late hour. I drove with the windows down, letting the cool breeze wash over me.Somewhere in that wind was the scent of wildflowers, carrying their sweet perfume through the darkness.The streetlights streched ahead like a ribbon of gold, guiding me away from Denver and the chaos I'd left behind.I hadn't lied to Alpha Sebastian. I really was heading to my grandmother's place.The video that Harper had originally offered to record for me—I'd decided to do it myself. Something inside me knew this needed to be my voice, my face confronting the lies.Perhaps... this was the final battle in a war I never asked for.I could see it in Xavier's eyes when he'd visited Harper's apartment. He was exhausted too. The fight had drained both of us.With any luck, by the time I returned, he would have come to his senses. We could finally end this twisted dance between us, once and for all.I needed

Author's povBack in the quiet mountain village, Esther and her mother sat in silence, the weight of unspoken worries weighing down on them."Our Cecilia was bullied so badly, and we could do nothing," Esther murmured, her fingers tightening around the fish she was gutting.Her eyes flickered with sudden desperation. "Mom, what if… what if we go to Colorado Springs and tell the Locke Family about Cecilia's existence? If we can't protect her, they certainly could."The older woman's grip hardened around the dried fish in her hands. Her eyes, clouded with both age and caution, flashed with alarm."Absolutely not," she said firmly. "When the old madam entrusted Cecilia to me, she begged for only one thing—that the child live safely. Not rich, not powerful. Safe.""But she's not safe now!" Esther's eyes reddened, her voice cracking. "I hate the thought as much as you do. She's my life. But look at her marriage, look at how they've bullied her! We have no connections, no influence. If they

Sebastian's povThe car slowed down abruptly, drawing my attention."Alpha Sebastian!" Liam's voice dropped to an urgent whisper, his professional composure cracking for the first time tonight. "That car ahead—is that it?"I leaned forward, my eyes narrowing as I peered through the tinted window. A sleek black sports car sat just fifty feet ahead of us. The license plate matched perfectly."Stay calm. Keep following," I commanded, my voice deliberately even. Years as Alpha had taught me that panic spreads like wildfire, especially in crisis situations. "Maintain distance.""Yes, Alpha Sebastian," Liam replied, his grip on the steering wheel tightening as he gradually increased speed.I texted Harper with our location update. She would bring the police—proper channels were important in human territories. Meanwhile, I'd sent Tang ahead as backup. My wolf, Soren, paced restlessly in my mind, sensing my mate was in danger.[She's ours to protect,] Soren growled. [If they've harmed her...]
