“Going to the rink, of course,” Linda answered flatly.

She didn’t wait for a response. Her attention shifted to Roman in the driver’s seat, her voice sharp and commanding. “Let’s go.”

The engine roared to life almost immediately, and within seconds they were moving.

Piper stared out the window for a moment, watching the trees blur past, her thoughts troubled. The silence pressed against her chest until she finally broke it.

“Did Archie’s father tell you to come too?” she asked.

Linda scoffed, eyes fixed ahead. “Not everything revolves around my Alpha’s instructions.”

There was a short silence before she added, almost reluctantly, “I’ve never… had the chance to watch ice hockey myself. Never really understood why Archie loves it so much.” Her jaw tightened. “Thought I’d see it…..before it’s too late.”

The last part of her statement was left out in a low mumble, almost drowned by the sound of the engine.

Piper turned toward her. For a second, she wondered if she had imagined it. But no,

  • Stuck Between Two Alpha Heir’s   Chapter 94

    “I want you to tell me the truth, Mum.” Piper’s voice was steady, but only just.She lifted the locket, the thin chain sliding coldly against her fingers as she held it out between them, resting against her chest like the weight she could no longer carry alone.Sage stared at it. Her breath caught so sharply that Piper heard it.Slowly, Piper’s hand rose to the back of her neck, taking off the locket completely. Her heart had begun to pound, loud enough that she was certain her mother could hear it too.“Honey…” Sage said, forcing a smile that didn’t reach her eyes. “What’s going on?”She folded her arms loosely across her chest, a reflex Piper recognized too well. It was the same posture Sage took whenever she was protective, closed off, and defensive.Piper swallowed. “The other day,” she began, her fingers tightening around the locket despite the voice in her head screaming at her to stop. “The old woman who came here. Who was she?”For a moment, Sage went quiet. Then she exhaled a

    “You…!” Ember started through gritted teeth as she reached the stone bench, but as Cecil looked up at her, her steps slowed, her eyes slightly widening. For a brief second, she forgot what she was about to say.Cecil looked terrible.Her usually neat hair hung loose and her face looked dull. Her eyes were swollen and red, her posture slumped. Ember swallowed whatever harsh words she had come armed with.“You came,” she muttered instead, sitting beside her. Cecil said nothing, dropping her eyes back to the ground.“How about this,” said Piper, breaking the silence before it settled. She pulled out her phone from her bag “I’ll call Archie. You can hear him yourself. That way you’ll know he’s really okay.”Cecil hesitated, her fingers twisting together in her lap.Ember shot Piper a look, but said nothing. After the first ring, Archie picked up.“Hey, Piper! What’s up?” His voice was bright. “I’m okay,” Piper said, then hesitated. “It’s Cecil. She’s here… and she’s worried about you.”

    Piper's response was simple and somewhat indifferent. “Nothing,” Ember blinked, her head snapping toward her fast. “You’re going to do nothing?” she repeated, incredulous. “What about Elsa? What about saving her? Aren’t you going to find Kris and get the antidote or something?”Piper didn’t slow her pace. Her voice, when she spoke again, was cool. “Find Kris? Sure. I still need to take the bane from him.”Ember frowned. “And Elsa?”“I’m sure she will be fine,” Piper said calmly. “Or better yet, her mate can handle it. He can get the cure for her.”Ember stopped walking. She turned, stepped directly into Piper’s path, and blocked her. Piper halted, raising a brow as she looked her over.“Who are you?” Ember asked slowly, squinting. “And what have you done with the girl who was ready to put herself in danger just to save Elsa?”Piper exhaled and moved past her. “It was never really about Elsa.”Ember followed, quieter now. “Then….?”Piper didn’t hesitate. “My father. I need to know wha

    “There is nothing you can do to stop this, Archie,” Vlad said evenly. “This is Linda’s destiny. Let it be.”The word ‘destiny’ hung heavy in the air.Archie did not look away from him. His jaw was clenched so tightly it seemed as though it might crack. His chest rose and fell in sharp, uneven breaths as a thousand thoughts battled behind his eyes. He opened his mouth to speak, but the sound that stopped him did not come from Vlad.“Archie, stop.”Linda’s voice trembled, but it was steady enough to cut through the tension like a blade.He froze.Behind him, her footsteps drew closer. Archie didn’t turn. He couldn’t. If he did, he knew his resolve would falter.“It’s true,” Linda continued quietly. “I want to do this. So please… let it be.”She reached for him then, her fingers wrapping gently around his arm. The way it felt, made his chest ache. For a brief moment, Archie allowed himself to lean into it.Then he pulled away sharply. Then turned just long enough to cast one final, cold

    The meeting ended soon after. But Vlad remained. He sat alone in the tea area, a deep frown etching across his features. His eyes were shut, his knuckle propped beneath his chin. For a man who had just secured the cooperation, or at the very least, successfully completed phase one of his plans, he should have felt satisfied. Yet the feeling refused to settle.He released a slow but heavy sigh.As it stood, the discussion had been nothing short of successful. Jonas and Rowan would take his words to the rest of the Pack. Vlad trusted that much. And if the elders hesitated now, if they resisted the idea of the collaboration, he could always apply pressure later. He knew how to bend people to his will. Archie would ascend the throne and become Alpha of both Packs. The alliance would be sealed. The girl would stand at his side as Luna.Everything was gradually falling into place. So why was he still so unsettled?The answer came like a hit. Piper.It was Piper and her haunting resembla

    Before Vlad could respond, Rowan cut in sharply. “If that is the reason you called us here, then I’m afraid we’re done.”The room stiffened.Jonas turned to him in mild surprise, while Vlad’s expression remained unreadable. Rowan carried on, unbothered by the tension he stirred. “We can handle the Pack just fine without assistance or collaboration. As for our chosen Alpha,” his voice hardened, “that is our business. Not yours”He placed his palms against the arms of his chair and shifted forward, preparing to rise. “Thank you for hosting us.”But a firm grip stopped him.Jonas caught his arm and pressed him back into his seat, muttering a curse. “Would you wait a second, you grouch?” he hissed, then lifted his gaze toward Vlad, his tone sharpening. “This isn’t just anyone we’re sitting across from.”Vlad met his stare calmly.“I’m sure,” Jonas continued, “that the Alpha of one of the most resourceful Packs around didn’t summon us here simply to poke his nose into our affairs.”“Actua
