The rumours got worse after practice.

By lunchtime, Piper had heard at least six different versions of what had happened to Rollins.

According to one student, he had accepted a contract with a professional team overseas. According to another, he was recovering in a private rehabilitation facility somewhere in the north. Someone else claimed he had dropped out entirely and wanted nothing to do with hockey anymore.

Every story sounded different.

None of them sounded true.

  • Stuck Between Two Alpha Heir’s   Chapter 193

    The house was silent. Too silent.Cecil stood at the foot of the staircase, unable to remember how she had gotten there. The hallway stretched ahead of her, dimly lit by a single wall sconce that flickered every few seconds.The familiar wallpaper peeled at the corners, and the polished wooden floor creaked beneath her bare feet. She knew this house, and she wished she didn’t.“Cecil.”The voice floated down from upstairs, soft and calm. That was always the worst kind.Her stomach tightened, but she didn’t answer.“Cecil.”This time it was louder. She closed her eyes for a moment. Maybe if she stayed still…Maybe“You know I don’t like repeating myself.”The words cut through her like ice. Slowly, she forced herself toward the staircase. Each step groaned beneath her weight, and the air grew colder the higher she climbed.Her heart pounded so loudly she could barely hear anything else.When she reached the landing, the bedroom door at the end of the corridor was already open.Scarlett

    A week passed, and classes settled into a routine as assignments began piling up and the excitement that always came with the start of a new semester gradually faded into familiarity. For everyone else, campus life had moved on. For Piper, it hadn’t.She hadn’t spoken to Rollins since the meeting in the old seminar room, but his final words refused to leave her alone.“Whatever this is… it’s spreading.”The sentence stayed in the back of her mind no matter how hard she tried to focus on lectures, and by Thursday afternoon she had given up pretending she could concentrate.The final lecture ended with the usual scrape of chairs against the floor as students filtered into the corridor, talking over one another about quizzes, weekend plans, and the upcoming hockey fixtures.Piper adjusted the strap of her bag and slipped into the crowd, almost reaching the staircase before she heard the unmistakable rhythm.Click.Tap.Click.Tap.The hallway didn’t fall completely silent, but conversati

    The seminar room fell silent the moment Rollins closed the door.A dull metallic click echoed through the room as the lock slid into place. He didn’t speak immediately. Instead, he stood with one hand resting against the door, listening for something only he seemed aware of.After several long seconds, he cracked the door open just enough to look into the deserted corridor. His eyes swept slowly from one end of the hallway to the other before he shut it again and tested the handle. Only after making sure it was locked did he step away.The room remained quiet.Rollins walked to the windows lining the far wall and pulled down the blinds one by one until the last strips of evening sunlight disappeared behind faded grey fabric. The room instantly felt smaller, boxed in by humming fluorescent lights and rows of empty desks stacked against the back wall.Piper caught Ember’s eye for a split second.Neither of them spoke.Whatever this meeting was about, it wasn’t hockey.Rollins finally fa

    The campus had not recovered from both Rollins’ and Elsa’s return.By the next morning, it was all anyone seemed capable of talking about.Piper heard his name before she even reached her first lecture. Two girls standing outside the humanities building were arguing over whether he’d always looked that serious.A group of hockey fans near the fountain were debating how long it would take before he returned to the team full-time. Someone else was insisting he’d been training overseas the entire time.The rumours hadn’t stopped when Rollins came back.They had changed direction.Piper adjusted the strap of her bag and continued walking.The chatter followed her anyway.Rollins.Rollins.Rollins.It was exhausting.What made it worse was the fact that he wasn’t helping himself. He wasn’t correcting anyone. He wasn’t explaining where he’d been. He wasn’t answering questions.He had returned, dropped himself back into the middle of university life, and somehow managed to reveal absolutely

According to another, he was recovering in a private rehabilitation facility somewhere in the north. Someone else claimed he had dropped out entirely and wanted nothing to do with hockey anymore.Every story sounded different.None of them sounded true.Piper sat beneath one of the large oak trees near the Humanities building, absently stirring her drink as voices drifted across the courtyard.“…heard he left his pack”“No, my cousin knows someone on the team. Apparently he’s coming back next month.”“That’s impossible.”“Why?”“Because nobody’s even heard from him.”Piper looked away.That part was true.Nobody had and she felt it was her fault.Not the team, not the university, not even the people who had once been closest to him. Rollins had disappeared so complete

    The realisation stayed with her for the rest of the morning.Even during lectures, her attention shifted. Vlad’s warning. Elsa’s reaction. The strange look on her face. None of it felt like a coincidence anymore.When classes finally ended, Piper stepped into the corridor, intending to head outside.A raised voice caught her attention.It was Elsa.She stood at the far end of the hallway with her back partially turned, speaking in low, clipped sentences to someone on the phone.“I said I handled it.”A pause.“No.”Another pause.“I’m not discussing this here.”She ended the call abruptly. The force with which she shoved the phone back into her handbag made Piper jump.Elsa adjusted one of her crutches and started toward the exit.Halfway there, a folded piece of paper slipped from the side pocket of her bag. It landed silently on the polished floor.Elsa kept walking.She hadn’t noticed.Piper glanced around. No one else seemed to have seen it.She bent down and picked it up.The pap

    With a quiet sigh, Cecil finally began to explain.“Even before Archie came to Ironclaw High,” she said softly, “I’ve heard stories about him. About his Pack. The stories made me curious, it made me wonder what it would be like to meet him in person. People talked about him like he was some kind of

    Piper's eyes studied Kristopher's movements closely. He backed away, running his fingers through his hair, his gaze turning distant as he reminisced about what happened. “Elsa and I…” he began, his voice low and brittle. Then he paused and exhaled as if the words were too heavy to let out in one b

    Rollins spun around just in time to catch the helmet flung at him. It was Levi, grinning like he always did, wide and mischievous.“Tough game on Saturday, huh?” Levi asked, running his fingers through his brown bedhead hair.Rollins chuckled. “Hopefully they are exactly as Coach described, sloppy

    “R-right now?” Piper stuttered, her voice catching in her throat as she instinctively turned and threw a helpless, pleading look toward Ember.Cecil paused and slowly lowered herself back into her seat. The sudden excitement in her posture drained away, replaced by uncertainty. Her fingers twisted
