Semua Bab Rejected and Claimed By The Alpha Hockey Stars : Bab 71 - Bab 80

Luna's POVI still can't believe what's happening in my life right now. Everything feels like it's spinning out of control, and I can't make sense of any of it.I keep remembering what Alex told me yesterday, playing his words over and over in my mind. "If you truly want to stay alive, you should beware of Coach Margret." The way he said it, with such seriousness and fear in his voice, didn't sound like he was joking or trying to scare me for no reason.But nothing about this situation makes sense to me. Coach Margret was the one who originally told me that if I joined the Timberwolves team, he would tell me about my parents' deaths. He was the one who made that promise in the first place. So why would Alex warn me to stay away from him?I wonder if Coach Margret lured me to the team without actually having any intention of telling me about my parents. Maybe he was just using that promise to get me to join. But then again, maybe Alex is the one who's lying to me for reasons I don't un

Luna's POVI glance at Cassie, who's still staring at the picture with fascination. I can't tell them the real reason. I can't explain about the mysterious letter, or about Alex's warnings about Coach Margret, or about my desperate need to understand what happened to my parents."I… I don't know," I lie. "I just acted without thinking."The security guard studies my face for a long moment. I can tell he doesn't completely believe me, but after a while, he sighs."Look, I could report this to the library administration," he says. "But I can see you're genuinely sorry. I'm going to let this slide this one time, but only because I brought you to this private corner so we wouldn't cause a scene in front of all the other students."Relief floods through me so powerfully that I almost start crying. "Thank you so much. I promise it won't happen again.""It better not," he says sternly. "If I catch you taking anything else from the library, I won't be so understanding next time."I nod quickl

Luna's POVShe gives me what looks like a hearty smile, but as I study her expression more carefully, I can tell something is off. I can't tell if she's faking her happy expression or if she's just uncomfortable seeing Cassie, who is standing beside me looking evidently angry about what just happened in the ice cream shop."Luna," Lily says, her voice warm but with an undertone I can't quite place. "How have you been? I heard about what happened at practice.""I'm doing much better now, thank you," I reply, trying to gauge her mood. "What about you? What brings you here?"Lily's expression shifts slightly, and there's something almost predatory in her eyes now. "Oh, I was just keeping an eye out for a snake," she says casually, but the way she says the word 'snake' makes my skin crawl.I wait for her to explain what she means, but she doesn't go into any detail. Instead, she just stands there looking at me with that savage look on her face. The way she's staring at me, combined with h

Alex's POVI stay in my seat, staring down at my notebook and pretending to organize my papers. Maybe if I look busy enough, Luna will give up and leave. But I can hear her footsteps getting closer, and I know she's not going anywhere.My heart starts beating faster as I realize there's no way to avoid this conversation. I've been dodging her messages all morning, and now she's here in person. I can't exactly pretend I don't see her when she's standing right next to my desk.I keep my eyes down, hoping she'll say whatever she needs to say and then leave. But instead of speaking, she does something that makes me jump.She slams both of her hands down on my desk with a loud bang that echoes through the empty classroom.I look up at her, startled by the sudden noise and the anger I see in her eyes. She's staring down at me with her hands flat on my desk, leaning forward slightly. Her face is flushed, and I can tell she's been holding in her frustration for a while."Have you been avoidin

Luna's POVI feel like the world stops spinning around me. Liam never told me any of this. In fact, I realize that Liam never tells me anything at all anymore. Ever since that horrible confrontation with his father, he's been shutting me out completely.I stare at Dominic with fear written all over my face. My heart is pounding so hard I can hear it in my ears. "What do you mean he's out of the hockey league?" I ask, my voice barely above a whisper.Dominic's expression is serious and concerned as he looks at me. "You heard me right. His father cut off all his funding for hockey equipment, training fees, and tournament registrations. Without those, he can't participate in any official games or competitions," Dominic explains."But that's not fair!" I exclaim, feeling anger rising in my chest. "Liam is talented. He loves hockey. His father can't just destroy his future because of me," I say, as if my words will change the situation."Luna, don't worry too much," Dominic says, trying to
