Chapter 81

Dominic’s POVBefore I can say another word to try to calm Lily down, she suddenly swings her purse at me. The heavy bag hits me in the shoulder, and I stumble backward slightly from the unexpected impact.“Lily, stop!” I shout, raising my hands to protect myself as she continues trying to get around me to reach Luna.But she’s like a raging bull now, completely out of control. She pushes against me, trying to shove me out of the way so she can get to Luna.“Move!” she screams at me. “Get out of my way so I can deal with this sneaky snake!”I plant my feet firmly and refuse to let her pass. Even though Lily is acting crazy right now, I can’t let her hurt Luna. Not after everything Luna has already been through.“You need to stop this right now,” I tell her firmly, grabbing her wrists to prevent her from swinging her purse again. “This isn’t solving anything.”“Let go of me!” Lily shrieks, struggling against my grip. “She’s ruining everything! She’s destroying our families’ plans, she’

Chapter 82

Dominic’s POV“Did you just say that? To me?” she asks, tears staining her lashes.The truth is, deep down in my heart, I’ve been hoping for years that this marriage would get cancelled somehow. I’ve been praying that something would happen to make our families change their minds. I’ve been wishing that I could find a way out of this arrangement without disappointing everyone.But I can’t say that to her. Not when she’s standing here crying.Lily pokes me on the shoulder, her touch more desperate than angry now. “Say something, Dominic,” she pleads. “Tell me what you’re thinking.”I look at her face, seeing the tears streaming down her cheeks, and I feel terrible. This isn’t her fault. She didn’t choose this arrangement any more than I did. But I also can’t keep pretending that I want this marriage when every fiber of my being is telling me it’s wrong.Instead of answering, I turn away from her and start walking toward my equipment bag. I need to get out of here before I say something

Chapters 83

Alex's POVI don't even realize how far I've run until I find myself in a dark alleyway between two tall buildings. My heart is pounding from the chase, and I'm breathing hard as I look around, trying to spot whoever was lurking outside our classroom.The alley is narrow and dimly lit, with garbage bins and old boxes scattered along the walls. The smell of rotting food and dampness fills my nose, making me want to gag. But I force myself to focus on finding the person who was spying on Luna and me."I know you're here!" I call out, my voice echoing off the brick walls. "Come out so we can talk!"But there's no response. Just the sound of my own breathing and the distant noise of traffic from the main street.I walk deeper into the alley, checking behind every dumpster and pile of boxes. My footsteps sound loud in the silence, and I can't shake the feeling that someone is watching me even though I can't see anyone."Look, I just want to know why you were listening to our conversation,"

Chapter 84

Luna's POVI'm still shaking as I walk away from the field after the confrontation with Lily. My heart is pounding so hard that I can hear it in my ears, and I can't stop replaying what just happened in my mind.I never expected Lily to react so violently when she saw me with Dominic. The way she hit him with her purse, the pure hatred in her eyes—it was all so intense and frightening.But then again, thinking back to when I ran into her at the ice cream shop, I did have a feeling that I was the snake she was referring to when she said she was keeping an eye out for one. I should have seen this coming.As I walk across campus toward my dorm, I can't help but wonder why I always seem to face trouble with almost everybody in my life. It feels like no matter what I do or where I go, someone always ends up angry with me or wanting to hurt me.First, it was my original teammates who bullied me until I left for Rival Fang. Then it was Maya and the Rival Fang team who turned against me when

Chapter 85

Luna’s POVI can’t hold back anymore. The thought of facing Maya and the Rival Fangs in just four days is making my stomach twist with anxiety and dread. Before I can think it through properly, I’m already walking quickly toward the school, hoping to go to Coach Margaret’s office.“Luna, wait!” Cassie calls behind me, trying to catch up. “Where are you going at this later hours?!” She yell behind me. “To coach Magret office.” I reply without looking back. “It’s getting late. Maybe you should talk to him tomorrow.” She yell again. But I shake my head and keep walking. “No, Cassie. I need to talk to him now. This can’t wait until tomorrow.”“But Luna…” “I have to try,” I interrupt, my voice more desperate than I intended. “Maybe there’s something he can do.”Cassie sighs but follows me anyway. I can hear her footsteps behind me as we make our way through the hallway toward Coach Margaret’s office. My heart is pounding so hard I can hear it in my ears.When we reach his office, I ca

Chapter 86

Luna's POVWe walk away from Coach Margaret's office, and as soon as we're out of earshot, Cassie turns to me with a questioning look."Why did you lie to Coach Margaret about not knowing where Alex is?" she asks.I shake my head. "I didn't lie. I really don't know where Alex is right now. I've been trying to contact him all day.""But you were talking to him earlier," Cassie points out."That was hours ago," I explain. "He ran off chasing someone, and I haven't seen him since. I have no idea where he went or if he's okay."Cassie's expression grows concerned. "Do you think something happened to him?""I don't know," I admit, pulling out my phone. "But I'm worried."I dial Alex's number again, listening as it goes straight to voicemail. I've been calling him repeatedly throughout the day with no response."Still no answer?" Cassie asks, watching me end the call.I shake my head, feeling frustrated and worried. "His number isn't reachable.""Maybe his phone died," Cassie suggests, thou

Chapter 87

Luna's POV"Your mind is somewhere else," Cassie observes as she blocks one of my shots easily. "You're not putting your usual power behind these hits.""I know," I admit, wiping sweat from my forehead. "I just can't stop thinking about Alex."We continue practicing, working up a good sweat as we run drills and scrimmage against each other. By the time we're both breathing hard and feeling exhausted, nearly two hours have passed."Okay, I think we've done enough for now," Cassie pants, leaning on her hockey stick. "Let's take a break."We walk over to the bench and sit down, both of us grateful for the chance to rest. I take a long drink from my water bottle and look around the field once more, still hoping to spot Alex somewhere."Has Alex returned any of your calls?" Cassie asks, as if she can read my thoughts.I shake my head sadly. "No. I've called him at least ten times since yesterday, and I've sent him so many text messages. Nothing.""That's really strange," Cassie says, frown

Chapter 88

Alex's POVI'm hiding behind one of the equipment sheds near the practice field, watching Coach Margaret talk to Luna and Cassie from a distance. I want to go over there and join them, but I can't. Not after what happened yesterday. Not after the warning I received.My ribs are still aching from the beating I took, and every time I move wrong, sharp pains shoot through my torso. I've been avoiding Coach Margaret all morning, taking different routes to my classes and staying away from the areas where I know he might be.But I needed to see Luna, to make sure she's okay. I've been ignoring her calls and messages, but that doesn't mean I don't care about her safety. In fact, it's because I care so much that I'm trying to stay away from her.I peer around the edge of the shed, watching as Coach Margaret talks to the girls. They seem to be having a normal conversation, nothing threatening or suspicious.The whole time I'm watching, I can't shake the feeling that someone is watching me too.

Chapter 89

Luna's POVI can hear the emotion in Alex's voice when he tells me to quit while they haven't gotten to me. There's something raw and broken about the way he says it, like he's carrying a weight that's too heavy for him to bear alone.Every part of me wants to fire back at him. I want to tell him that I have every right to know the truth, especially when it concerns my parents. I want to remind him that he was the one who offered to help me in the first place, and now he's acting like I'm some kind of burden for wanting answers. The justified anger is right there, ready to spill out of my mouth in harsh words that would probably make him feel even worse than he already does.But I don't say any of that.Instead, I remain quiet, watching his face carefully. There's genuine fear in his eyes.The silence stretches between us for several long moments. I can feel Cassie shifting impatiently beside me, probably waiting for me to either accept his apology or tear into him for being so crypti

Chapter 90

Luna's POVMy attention becomes completely divided between the conversation I was just having with Cassie and the mysterious figure I think I saw. My mind starts racing, trying to process whether what I saw was real or if I'm starting to imagine things because of all the stress and fear that's been building up lately."Luna!" Cassie's voice cuts through my distracted thoughts, sharp and concerned. She snaps her fingers in front of my face to get my attention. "Hello? Earth to Luna. What's wrong with you?"I blink and shake my head, trying to focus on her instead of the shadows where I thought I saw Jaxon. "Sorry, I was just… I thought I saw something.""What did you see?" Cassie asks, immediately looking around us with alert eyes.I hesitate, not sure if I should tell her. What if I was just hallucinating? What if my mind is playing tricks on me because I'm so stressed about everything that's happening? After listening to the genuine fear in Alex's voice and seeing those bruises on hi
