Luna’s POV

Cassie leans forward with an enthusiastic expression. “You know what? Since you’re going to be back on the team soon, maybe we should all practice together this afternoon. It would be good to start getting back into sync before the official practices begin.”

Liam shakes his head apologetically. “I appreciate the offer, but I actually have a lot of catching up to do. I’ve missed so much schoolwork while I was dealing with the family drama, and I need to talk to my professors about making up assignments and exams.”

“That makes sense,” I say, understanding his situation. “You definitely need to get your grades back on track.”

Dominic starts to open his mouth, probably to add his own thoughts about practice schedules or team preparation, but suddenly his attention is drawn to something across the cafeteria.

We all follow his gaze and see Alex standing near the entrance, looking around the room like he’s searching for someone. For a moment, I think he might be looking for us, ma

    Luna’s POVThe hotel room vision continues around me with scary clarity. I can see Alex moving closer to me, his eyes full of worry and something else I can’t understand. The anger I was feeling toward him starts to fade as he gets nearer.“Luna, please don’t leave,” Alex says softly, his voice gentle and pleading. “We can work through this together.”I feel my heart beating fast as Alex leans toward me. His face is getting closer and closer to mine. I can smell his familiar scent and see the concern in his eyes. Part of me wants to step back, but something keeps me frozen in place.Our faces are just inches apart now. I can feel his warm breath on my skin. Alex raises his hand slowly and touches my cheek. The touch feels so real and warm that I almost gasp.“I care about you more than you know,” Alex whispers. “Please give us a chance.”Before I can think about what’s happening, Alex starts leaning in to kiss me. My eyes start to close automatically. His lips are almost touching mine

    Luna’s POVThe moment they’re gone, I feel like I can breathe properly again. The tension that was building in my shoulders starts to release, and I realize I was holding my breath without even knowing it.“Are you both alright?” Dominic asks, looking between Cassie and me with concern.“Yeah, we’re fine,” I reply, though my voice sounds a bit shaky even to my own ears.Dominic sits down at our table and shakes his head. “This ten million dollar prize has got everybody acting feisty and aggressive. People are taking this competition way too seriously.”He says it like it’s supposed to be a joke, but neither Cassie nor I are in the mood to laugh right now. The confrontation with Maya and Jaxon left us both feeling too shaken and worried to find humor in the situation.“I don’t think it’s just about the money,” I say quietly. “I think some people have personal reasons for wanting to beat us.”Dominic notices that his joke didn’t land well, and his expression becomes more serious. “You’r

    Luna’s POVIt’s a new day, and I wake up feeling more determined than in weeks.I leave bed quietly, trying not to wake Cassie, and set up my books at the small desk near the window. The early morning sunlight streaming through the glass feels warm and hopeful, and I decide to use this peaceful time to catch up on some studying that I’ve been neglecting.For the next hour and a half, I work through assignments and review notes from classes I missed while I was recovering from my head injury. It feels good to focus on something normal and academic, something that doesn’t involve hockey drama or mysterious threats.By the time I finish studying, I can see that it’s getting late enough that Cassie and I need to start getting ready for classes.“Cassie,” I say gently, walking over to her bed. “Time to wake up. We have class in an hour.”Cassie groans and pulls her pillow over her head. “Five more minutes,” she mumbles.“You said five more minutes twenty minutes ago,” I laugh. “Come on, we

    Alex’s POVI walk out of the warehouse feeling shaken and angry, Coach Margaret’s threats still echoing in my head. The cold night air hits my face, but it does nothing to cool down the frustration and fear burning inside me.I’m barely halfway down the dark alley when my phone starts ringing. I pull it out and see Liam’s name on the screen. For a moment, I consider not answering, I’m not in the right headspace to have a normal conversation with anyone right now.But I know Liam will just keep calling if I don’t pick up, so I answer on the fourth ring.“Hey, Liam,” I say, trying to make my voice sound normal and casual.“Alex, hey,” Liam’s voice comes through the phone. “Is everything alright? You sound a bit off.”“Yeah, everything’s fine,” I lie smoothly. “Why wouldn’t it be?”“I don’t know,” Liam says. “I was just checking. I saw you over at Coach Margret’s office area earlier today, but you didn’t seem to join the crowd with everyone else. You looked like you were keeping your dis

    Alex’s POVThe clock on the wall shows that it’s nearly midnight when I finally arrive at the secret location where Coach Margret told me to meet him.Coach Margret is already waiting for me when I slip through the side door. He’s pacing back and forth in the main room, and I can tell from his body language that he’s furious about something.“You’re late,” he says without even looking at me.“Sorry, Coach,” I reply automatically. “I had to make sure no one saw me leaving my place.”He finally turns to face me, and I can see anger burning in his eyes. “Do you have any idea how frustrated I am with you right now, Alex?”I stay quiet, knowing that anything I say will probably just make him angrier.“I’m getting tired of your constant disappointment,” Coach Margret continues, his voice getting louder with each word. “I’m getting tired of your excuses and your inability to complete simple tasks.”I want to defend myself, to explain that nothing about this situation is simple, but I know be
