Abandoned Luna: Now Untouchable-Chapter 378 The Game Ends

Author ’s pov

"This isn’t possible..."

Daisy stood frozen, like someone had pulled her plug. The color drained from her face so fast it was almost shocking, leaving her skin pale and waxy.

Her eyes darted around, wild and restless.

She turned her head slowly toward the two men on the floor, the butler and Dr. Harlan. She stared at them like they had just betrayed her.

But the men didn’t move. They kept their heads down, like even looking at her might be dangerous.

This wasn’t loyalty. It was fear. The kind that lives in your bones.

Beta Sawyer’s voice cut through the air, calm and sharp. "They’re not heroes. They fear you, sure. But they fear dying here and now even more. Anyone would."

He didn’t take his eyes off Daisy, like he was dissecting a failed experiment.

"The butler’s been watched since the night before last," he said quietly. "Every call. Every whisper. Alpha Sebastian knew before anyone else."

Harper stepped in without missing a beat. Her voice was flat and clinical, like she was reading out a failed plan.

"You pushed me. You wanted me away from the crowd. That was your first move."

"You knew Cece would come after me the minute I disappeared. You thought she’d panic and turn on you."

"You hoped Alpha Sebastian would step in, and you could twist that into something else."

"You guessed Cece would run out the second she got that message from ‘me,’ too panicked to think straight."

"You even had Riley ‘get sick’ so Dr. Harlan could slip in. Then the butler would follow your cue."

"You thought the setup was flawless. You thought we were reacting. But we were watching."

"We made space on purpose," Harper said. "You wouldn’t have gotten me to ‘leave’ otherwise. And as for trying to split Cece and Alpha Sebastian ?"

She laughed once, short and dry. "One’s solid ice, the other’s all instinct. You could throw a grenade between them and they’d still close ranks."

Daisy’s lips trembled. She shook her head, fast, like she could rewind the last ten minutes.

The truth was landing in pieces, and each one hit harder than the last.

She hadn’t been the puppeteer. She’d been dancing on strings.

Cecilia’s voice cut through the silence. Cold. Controlled.

"Did Riley actually get sick on her own ?"

Her gaze didn’t waver. She already knew the answer.

The question hung in the air, sharp and damning.

"Kids don’t get sick on command. You couldn’t have made Riley fake it.

But as her mother, all you had to do was hold off on treatment just long enough for her to crash. High fever. No meds. Just enough time for her brain to swell. Maybe meningitis. Maybe worse."

Cecilia’s voice dropped, steady and cutting. "You used your own daughter as bait. What kind of person does that ?"

Daisy started to tremble. Her lips moved, but no sound came out.

Silence, in that moment, said more than any excuse ever could. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

If this had been a misunderstanding, any real mother would’ve protested. Loudly. Instinctively.

But Daisy stood there, mute.

The weight in the room dropped like a stone.

This wasn’t just cold. This was calculated. Ruthless. Inhuman.

Then Alpha Sebastian’s voice sliced through the tension, smooth and glacial.

"Did you really think I didn’t know you were working with Maggie Locke ?"

His steel-gray eyes gleamed in the low light, sharp and watchful.

"My coming back to this house wasn’t some coincidence. Maggie planned it, and she did it for you. Thought I wouldn’t notice.

But she’s smarter than that. She never makes a move without backup. Not during something this sensitive."

He took one step closer, his voice dropping.

"So this part wasn’t her. That was you. Wasn’t it ?"

Daisy’s body locked up. Her breathing turned ragged.

The words landed like cold steel. Not loud. Just lethal.

"I had no choice..." she whispered. "She forced me. If I didn’t go along, I’d be dead."

Alpha Sebastian didn’t blink.

"Your brother’s under indictment for drug trafficking. Your father lost everything in Vegas. He embezzled company funds to pay for it."

He tilted his head slightly. "And you ? You’re the one Maggie kept closest. That means your situation is even worse."

"Stop it! STOP IT!" Daisy screamed, clutching her head with both hands.

Cecilia blinked, stunned.

Alpha Sebastian’s tone shifted. It dropped lower. Colder. And somehow even more dangerous.

"You tell yourself your family’s fall was just bad luck. That Maggie was your lifeline."

He stepped forward, slow and deliberate.

"But deep down ? You know better. You know what she offered. And you know what she took."

Daisy stood frozen.

"What did you find out ?" she asked, voice shaking.

Alpha Sebastian’s gaze locked on hers. "You already know. You’re just too scared to say it out loud.

You know what she’s holding over you. And you know what happens if you disobey."

A long silence followed.

Then Daisy’s voice, small and flat, like something inside her had snapped: "So ?"

Alpha Sebastian didn’t flinch. He didn’t gloat. He just delivered the truth.

"So you were perfect for her. Weak. Desperate. Easy to shape."

He didn’t raise his voice. He didn’t have to.

"I have proof. Your father’s downfall. Your brother getting arrested. Even your own spiral.

None of it was random. Maggie didn’t catch you when you fell."

He paused, voice like frost.

"She gave you the push."

He didn’t even try to hide the contempt.

"She didn’t choose you for what you could do. She chose you for how easily you’d break."

Daisy didn’t speak.But she didn’t deny it either.

Because she knew. She just didn’t want to admit it.

Once, she lived in high heels and champagne. Thought the world would always open doors for her.

She never thought she’d become someone else’s pawn.

At first, she hesitated.

But then came the money. The power. The illusion of control.

And once she tasted it, she couldn’t let go.

Maggie wasn’t a savior. She was a strategist. A predator in silk. The one holding the leash.

She didn’t force Daisy.

She gave her just enough to keep her wanting more.

She made Daisy think she was in control, but Maggie was the one pulling the strings.

And when Daisy stopped being useful ? She’d cut her loose. No ceremony. No warning.

Like tossing out a burnt match.

Alpha Sebastian’s stare was ice.

"She’ll move tonight," he said. "Because now, you’re a liability. And she doesn’t like mess."

Daisy’s eyes went wide.

"That’s insane. How would she even know I failed ? What if I’d pulled it off ?"

Alpha Sebastian’s smile was slow. Cold. Inevitable.

"She didn’t care if you pulled it off. That was never the point.

You were the distraction. The bait. The sacrifice.She used you because you were easy to throw away."

Just then, a phone started ringing.

The sound cut through the room like a blade.

It came from the black bag by the door.

It rang once.

Then twice.

Then a third time.
