Luna's POV

I'm still trembling from my encounter with Coach Margaret when I finally make it to the café where I'm supposed to meet Cassie. My hands shake as I push through the glass doors, the familiar scent of coffee and pastries doing nothing to calm my nerves.

Cassie waves at me from across the table, her bright smile faltering the moment she sees my face. I weave through the crowded café.

"You good?" Cassie says as I collapse into the chair across from her. "What happened? How did your meeting with Coach Margaret go?"

I stare down at my hands, still processing everything that just transpired in his office. The way he knew about my search for my parents, the predatory look in his eyes, the bargain he offered—it all feels surreal, like something out of a nightmare.

"I'm going back to the Timber Wolves," I say quietly, the words feeling foreign on my tongue.

Cassie's coffee cup freezes halfway to her lips. Her eyes widen in shock. "What? Luna, I don't understand. Just yesterday you w

    Chapter 112Around more often Dominic’s POVI’m walking across the field after practice when I spot Coach Margret from afar. He’s talking to some officials near the main building, gesturing with his hands like he’s explaining something important. I decide to avoid him for now, I’m not in the mood for another lecture about team responsibilities or whatever he wants to discuss today.Instead, I head toward another direction and I sight Luna and Cassie sitting on the bleachers. Luna looks exhausted, and I can see some bruises on the side of her face. Whatever happened to her after the game yesterday that makes her disappear must have been serious.As I approach them, I feel that familiar knot in my stomach that appears whenever I’m around Luna lately. Everything about this situation with my father and Lily feels so complicated, and Luna is right in the middle of it without even knowing the full extent of what’s happening.“Hey,” I say as I reach them. “Luna, I wanted to apologize for w

    Luna's POVOnce we're alone, Coach Margaret sits down across from me at the conference table. His expression is much more serious than it was during the team meeting, and I can sense that this conversation is going to be different from our usual interactions."Luna, I need to ask you something important," he begins, folding his hands on the table in front of him. "Where were you after the game yesterday?"The question catches me completely off guard. I wasn't expecting him to ask about my whereabouts after the match. "What do you mean?""I mean after the game ended, you completely disappeared," he says, his tone becoming more pointed. "I specifically asked you to stay behind and address the press, but you left the arena without saying anything to anyone on the coaching staff."I remember how angry and worried I was about Cassie yesterday. And I remember exactly how I replied to him yesterday, but I don't feel bad about it."I went straight to the hospital to check on Cassie," I explai

    Luna's POVThe next morning, I wake up feeling sore and tired from everything that happened yesterday. My body still aches from the kidnapping and escape, but I know I can't miss the team meeting that Coach Margaret called for this morning. Every muscle in my body protests as I get out of bed, and I can see bruises on my arms from where I struggled against the restraints.As I look at myself in the mirror, I can't help but think about how much my life has changed in just a few days. Between the mysterious letters, the kidnapping, and Cassie's poisoning, nothing feels safe anymore. I wonder if this is what my life is going to be like from now on—always looking over my shoulder, always wondering who I can trust.Cassie is already awake and getting ready when I finally manage to drag myself out of bed. She looks much better than yesterday, though I can still see some tiredness in her eyes from the poisoning incident."How are you feeling this morning?" she asks as we both get dressed for

    Luna's POVAfter everyone settles down and the room becomes quieter, I realize there's something important I need to do. I've been thinking about it ever since Alex arrived, and I know I won't be able to sleep peacefully tonight if I don't try to get some real answers from him."Alex," I say as he's starting to gather his things and prepare to leave with Liam. "Can I talk to you for a minute? Just the two of us?"Alex looks surprised by my request, and I can see some worry flash across his face. But he nods anyway. "Of course, Luna."Cassie gives me a questioning look, clearly wondering what I need to discuss privately with Alex. But I give her what I hope is a reassuring smile to let her know everything is okay. "I'll be right back," I tell her. "I just want to walk Alex out and get some fresh air for a few minutes.""Don't be long," Cassie warns me, her voice full of concern. "You really need to rest and recover after everything you've been through tonight.""I won't be long at all,

    Liam's POVWe've been walking around town for what feels like hours now, and I can see that Cassie is getting more and more tired with each step we take. Her face is pale from just being discharged from the hospital yesterday, and I can tell this whole situation is taking a toll on her physically and emotionally."Liam, I think we need to stop," Cassie says suddenly, stopping in the middle of the sidewalk. "This isn't working. We're just walking around aimlessly hoping to stumble upon Luna somewhere."I shake my head firmly. "We can't give up yet. She has to be somewhere around here.""But we've checked everywhere!" Cassie throws her hands up in frustration. "We've been to the practice field, the library, the cafeteria, every building on campus, and now we're wandering around the city. This is ridiculous."I understand her frustration, but the thought of stopping the search makes my chest feel tight with anxiety. "Just a little longer, Cassie. Please.""No, Liam," she says, her voice

    Alex's POVI can't sit still. Something is wrong—I can feel it deep in my gut. The anxiety has been building all day, ever since I lost track of Luna yesterday. I've been pacing around my apartment for hours, trying to convince myself that she's probably just busy or avoiding me after our last confrontation.But my instincts are screaming that Luna is in danger, and I've learned to trust those instincts over the years.I'm still pacing when I hear a knock at my door. I look through the peephole and see Liam standing there with Cassie beside him. Both of them look worried and stressed.This is not good. If they're here together looking for Luna, it means something has definitely happened.I open the door, trying to appear calmer than I feel. "Liam, Cassie. This is a surprise. What brings you both here?"Liam doesn't waste time with pleasantries. "We're looking for Luna," he says immediately. "Have you seen her? Do you know where she is?"My heart drops into my stomach. "What do you mea
