Archie woke to the sharp ache in his ribs, the lingering sting of bruises blossoming across his side. His body felt heavier than usual, and every movement felt slower than usual.

The fight in the forest replayed in his mind in flashes, shadows, teeth, claws, and then the screeching tyres and crashing metal. Even after a night of sleep, his muscles protested with every stretch he did.

He rubbed his jaw and frowned, remembering his phone was gone. It must have been in the car when it crashed.

  • Stuck Between Two Alpha Heir’s   Chapter 128

    Cecil’s fingers hovered over her phone, eyes glued to the screen as it had betrayed her. Package secured. One casualty. Target survived.” she reread out loud.She blinked, swallowing hard, trying to steady her breath. Her plan had been clean and clear. Cecil’s mind raced, refusing to pause long enough for rational thought.It was supposed to be just Piper. Just her. How did it end up like this? With someone dead.Her hand balled into a fist, the knuckles white beneath the soft glow from the moonlight.She had been careful. She had been patient. Everything had been planned to perfection. And yet, someone had died.Her thoughts shifted involuntarily to Celeste, the woman one she’d called earlier, the one who had ordered the operation in the first place.The woman whose voice could slice through steel and leave blood in its wake, whose cold, precise control had never wavered, and whose wrath she had experienced before.The memory crept in un: the hospital, sterile white lights, the shar

    Cecil didn’t look back after she turned the corner.She kept walking like she had somewhere important to be, swinging her bag against her hip, and humming under her breath like nothing in the world mattered to her.But the moment she was out of sight, her smile faded.Something had been off back there.The way Piper held her bag and the way Ember watched her too closely.The strange tension that had settled between them like a secret they were scared to say.Cecil pushed through the glass doors of the campus café, warm air wrapping around her instantly. The place was unusually loud for a cafe.Students talking over each other, smoothie glasses clinking and someone laughing too loudly near the soda machine.She ordered takeout without thinking too much about what she picked. Anything fast, anything that gave her an excuse to leave quickly.While she waited, she leaned against the counter and scrolled through her phone, pretending like she wasn’t replaying the last ten minutes over and

    Archie stepped out, eyes sharp, scanning the street fast, first Piper, then his guard standing in front of her, tension obvious even from a distance.“What the hell is going on?” he demanded, already walking toward them.The guard’s shoulders stiffened. “You shouldn’t be here,” he muttered under his breath, not turning fully around.Archie ignored him completely and focused on Piper. “You disappeared, and he,” he said, pointing at the guard, “left without saying anything. I followed because something felt off.” His eyes narrowed at the distance between her and the guard.“Now I find you standing in the middle of the road looking like you’re about to pass out?”Piper opened her mouth, but her words refused to form. Her heart was still racing too fast, adrenaline flooding every nerve.Behind Archie, another car rounded the corner, the headlights brighter than Archie’s own.The two shadowed figures shifted slightly, staying just outside the direct beam of light.The guard’s posture staye

    Piper stopped in her tracks. The street was quiet except for the distant hum of traffic, but the person ahead made her stomach drop.He was standing there, hands in his pockets, just watching quietly.“Piper,” he said, his voice low, sounding almost casual. “We need to talk.”She squeezed the strap of her bag, still pressing the vial against her side. “Who are you?” she asked, trying to sound braver than she felt.The person didn’t answer right away. He took a slow step closer, the shadows from the streetlight cutting across his face, obscuring just enough.“You already know more than you should,” he said finally, “And I can’t let you keep going without understanding the consequences.”Piper felt her heart beat faster than ever. “You, what do you mean? About the professor?”He tilted his head slightly, studying her. “Yes, and about the vial, and everything else you’ve touched tonight.”Every instinct screamed at her to run. But she stayed frozen. Something about him, something about t

    Piper breathed out carefully where she stood.Ember’s hand stayed firm on her arm. “I told you,” she muttered, voice low, “this is not happening.”The man's eyes swept the lab, then paused, lingering on the shadows where Piper and Ember crouched. Piper could feel the heat of the stare even through the glass.“We’re not waiting,” Piper said, gripping her bag. “We’re running.”Ember’s eyes narrowed, then a faint smirk tugged at her lips. “Finally, it took you long enough to come to your senses.”They bolted, pressing low against the walls, trying not to make noise. Piper’s pulse hammered in her ears as the man's gaze seemed to follow them.The lab door creaked slightly behind them, the professor still inside, completely absorbed in his work.“Go! Don’t stop!” Ember hissed, practically dragging Piper toward the side path.They rounded the corner and got in the first cab they saw.Every footstep sounded far too loud when they got back to the campus. Piper’s hand clutched her bag like a li

    The path to the professor’s lab was quiet, almost too quiet.Ember tugged her jacket tighter and muttered, “Seriously, why do all the interesting things happen when it’s dark and creepy?”Piper’s hand brushed the vial through her pocket. “Because mysterious stuff likes me,” she said jokingly.“Or you just get yourself into trouble, pick your poison,” Ember shot back, rolling her eyes. “And right now, it’s both.”Piper shook her head but couldn’t stop looking toward the lab. A light shone inside, not a reflection. Someone was there.“Stay close,” Ember said, less stern this time, more like a friend muttering a warning. “And don’t do anything stupid, I mean it, Piper, I’m not carrying you out if…”“Don’t finish that sentence,” Piper interrupted, shoving her hands deeper in her pockets.They tiptoed along the side path, using parked cars and trash bins as cover. Piper’s mind raced. Whoever had been there, whoever had spoken through the phone, is still inside.The front door was unlocked.
