“Hello, Nina,” the Luna said.

She wore all white. Even her hair, her eyelashes, and her eyebrows were pure white, and her skin was as pale as a ghost.

I lifted my hand to open a portal, hoping to do it before the Luna turned back around, but without even looking at me she seemed to know what I was doing and snapped her fingers again. In that instant, I felt another invisible force shove me to the ground. It was even stronger than the spell that Selena cast earlier, and both mine and Enzo’s knees buckled beneath us. I felt

I couldn’t. The invisible force weighed heavily on my throat, and it took all of my strength just to suck in lungfuls of air. All I could do was watch as the Luna stopped beside him and stroked his hair, almost like he was a pet, while she stared down at all

What was she talking about? What did she mean when she said that I was supposed to be the smarter and more powerful one? Did she mean… That I wasn’t supposed to be the one who was stolen? That it was supposed to be Selena, and that I
