Piper felt as if the campus were narrower than usual, Every look and whisper, felt as if they were talking about her. Her bag slipped from her shoulder, but she didn't bother adjusting it.

“Ready?” Ember’s voice cut through her daydream. She fell into step behind Piper, eyes scanning the crowd of cheerleaders.

“I’m ready,” Piper said, steady. Her pulse hammered in her ears, and she didn't know why.

They spotted her easily, a girl with sleek black hair, long legs crossed, phone in hand, sitting

  • Stuck Between Two Alpha Heir’s   Chapter 126

    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.

    Piper stared at her phone long after the call ended.The silence felt unnatural, like the world had tilted slightly and hadn’t settled back into place.“Well,” Ember said slowly, “that was a disaster.”Piper didn’t argue.She replayed his voice in her head, too fast, too sharp, too excited and then the sudden crash. The whisper, the way the line had just died.She hit the call again but it went straight to voicemail.Her chest tightened.“I’m going to check on him,” she said.“No,” Ember said immediately.Piper looked up.Ember’s arms were crossed tight over her chest, jaw set. “Absolutely not, Did you not hear that call? He told you specifically not to come, That’s the only sane thing he said.”“He sounded scared,” Piper said.“He sounded like an unstable mature man,” Ember shot back. “There’s a difference.”Piper shook her head. “I gave him that sample. If something’s happening because of it…”“You are not responsible for a grown man losing control over his research,” Ember said int

    Piper’s fingers tightened around the vial before she even realised what she was doing. The glass felt cold and too light in her palm. Wolfbane. The word echoed in her head, heavy and wrong.Her stomach dropped, and for a second she just stared at it, trying to convince herself she was mistaken, that it was something else, something harmless.But she knew what wolfbane looked like even in powdered form.. She knew what it meant.“Piper?” Ember’s voice came from beside her, careful. “What is that?”Piper blinked, snapping out of the freeze. Without answering, she curled her fingers around the vial and slipped it into her jacket pocket. The movement was quick, instinctive. She pulled Cecil’s bag up by the strap and nudged the zipper closed the rest of the way like nothing had happened.Ember watched the whole thing.“You okay?” Ember asked again, quieter this time.Cecil took the bag, still watching them. The easy smile she’d had earlier didn’t come back right away. She slung the strap ov
