Luna's POV

I step off the bus and my stomach drops to my feet. The field looks like a war zone, but instead of soldiers, there are reporters everywhere. Camera crews with huge equipment, people with microphones, and men in expensive suits talking into phones.

What the hell is going on?

"Luna!" Maya appears out of nowhere and grabs my arm. Her grip is tight, almost painful. "This way, quick!"

She drags me toward the locker room while I try to process what I'm seeing. A woman with bright red lipstick spots us and starts shouting my name, but Maya pulls me faster.

We burst through the locker room door and Maya slams it shut behind us. I'm breathing hard, my heart hammering against my ribs.

"Maya, what is this?" I demand. "Why are there so many people out there?"

Maya's eyes are practically glowing with excitement. She can barely stand still. "It's been like this for days, Luna. Ever since we won the championship, they've been coming. Reporters, photographers, everyone wants to talk to us

  • Rejected and Claimed By The Alpha Hockey Stars    Chapter 53

    Dominic's POV I lock myself in my room, slamming the door behind me with enough force to rattle the frame. My hands are shaking with anger, and I can't believe Lily showed up now, at the most important moment of my life. Just when I thought I could finally ask Luna for forgiveness, just when I'd come to realize that no matter how hard I try to push these feelings away, I can't get over her. I throw myself onto my bed and grab my headphones, cranking the volume up so loud it drowns out everything else. The bass pounds in my ears, but it's not enough to quiet the storm in my head. All I can think about is the look on Luna's face when she saw Lily walk into that locker room. The way her expression changed, like she was putting pieces together that I never wanted her to see. There's a knock at my door, sharp and insistent. I ignore it completely, closing my eyes and letting the music wash over me. I don't want to deal with anyone right now, e

  • Rejected and Claimed By The Alpha Hockey Stars    Chapter 52

    Luna's POVI can see the question catches them off guard as they scramble to find words to say, but before they can respond, I walk away toward my dorm. I don't want to hear whatever justification they're going to give me.My legs feel heavy as I climb the stairs to my floor. Each step feels like I'm carrying the weight of every conversation I've had today, every confrontation, every moment where I've felt like I'm losing control of my own life. By the time I reach my door, I'm emotionally drained.Once I get inside, I strip off my practice clothes and head straight for the shower. The hot water feels like a blessing against my skin, washing away the sweat and stress of the day. I let myself stand under the spray for longer than usual, hoping it might wash away some of the heaviness in my chest too. But even as I scrub my hair and let the steam fill the small bathroom, I can't stop my mind from racing.Maya won't answer my calls. Coach Rafe is threatening legal action. Sara tried to a

    Luna's POVMaya still won't answer my calls. I've tried calling her at least fifteen times since our confrontation at the coffee shop yesterday, and every single call goes straight to voicemail. It feels like a punch to the gut.I stare down at my phone, my thumb hovering over her contact again. Part of me wants to keep calling until she finally picks up, to keep trying until I can make her understand that leaving her team wasn't about her or our friendship. But another part of me knows that I'm probably just making things worse, that maybe she needs space to process everything.The worry is eating me alive. Maya has become such an important part of my life over the past few weeks, one of the few people who seemed to genuinely care about me for who I am rather than what I could do for them. The thought that I might have lost her friendship forever because of this mess with Coach Margaret makes me feel sick.Finally, I make a decision. If she won't

  • Rejected and Claimed By The Alpha Hockey Stars    Chapter 50

    Luna's POVThe clicking of heels grows louder until an absolutely stunning girl appears in the doorway of the locker room. She's the kind of beautiful that makes you stop and stare—tall and willowy with perfectly styled hair that catches attention.She scans the room with her eyes until she spots Dominic, then raises one manicured hand in a small wave. "Dominic, darling, there you are."The transformation in Dominic's face is immediate and striking. The easy smile he'd been wearing just moments ago vanishes completely, replaced by an expression of barely concealed displeasure. His jaw tightens, his shoulders stiffen, and I can see his hands clench into fists at his sides."What are you doing here, Lily?" he asks, his voice strained with the effort of staying polite.She glides across the room toward him, her heels clicking against the floor with each step. "I was looking for you, of course. When you didn't answer my calls, I thought I'd come find you myself."Before she can reach him,

  • Rejected and Claimed By The Alpha Hockey Stars    Chapter 49

    Luna's POVI'm done. Absolutely done with falling for Liam's tricks or anyone else's for that matter. After everything I've been through—the suspension, the manipulation, the constant feeling like I'm being played by everyone around me—I've decided I'm not going to be anyone's pawn anymore.The encounter with Liam left me feeling more confused than ever. One minute he's cold and distant, the next he's trying to give me gifts and acting like he cares. I can't keep letting myself get caught up in his mixed signals. I have enough complications in my life without adding whatever game he's playing to the mix.I make my way across campus toward the athletic facility, my mind still churning with thoughts about Maya's disappointed face and Liam's confusing behavior. The afternoon sun is starting to dip lower in the sky.When I reach the locker room, I'm surprised to find it completely dark. That's odd—usually there are at least a few people in here at thi

  • Rejected and Claimed By The Alpha Hockey Stars    Chapter 48

    Liam's POV I can see the exact moment something shifts in Luna's eyes when she turns around and sees me. There's a flicker of something—recognition, memory, desire maybe—before she quickly looks away. She licks her lips nervously, and I have to force myself to stay focused on her face instead of letting my gaze follow that unconscious gesture. God, she's beautiful. Standing there in the morning sunlight with her hair catching the light, even with that guarded expression she's wearing, she takes my breath away. Every instinct I have is screaming at me to close the distance between us, to pull her into my arms and kiss her again just like I did the other day. The memory of how she felt pressed against me, how she tasted, how she responded to my touch—it's been driving me crazy. But I made myself a promise after that night. I promised I wouldn't cross that line again, wouldn't put her in that position. And I definitely remember the sharp sting of her hand across my face afterward, the
