Chapter 131

The quietness in the room pulled her under before she could stop it.Not to the gunshot or to the black body bag being zipped shut the other night.To sunlight.Warm afternoons behind the old pack house where the grass grew uneven and stubborn no matter how much they mowed it.The air buzzed with insects and distant laughter from pack members training nearby. Pine trees swayed overhead, their long shadows stretching across the ground like slow-moving hands.Dust drifted lazily through shafts of gold light. Somewhere in the distance, someone shouted encouragement, followed by the dull thud of sparring bodies hitting the earth.Her father stood a few steps away, sleeves rolled up, boots dusted with dirt, a grin tugging at the corner of his mouth like he was always halfway between serious and amused.The sun caught in his dark hair, turning the edges of it warm and bright.“Again,” he said, tossing her a wooden practice blade.It spun clumsily through the air. Piper almost dropped it bef

Piper woke with a startle, her head pressed against the rough edge of a textbook. The library was dark now, quiet except for the hum of the air conditioning and the soft creak of the chairs shifting behind empty tables. She blinked against the overhead lights, trying to shake off the sleep in her eyes. Her phone vibrated against the wooden table, her mother's name flashing on the screen. Panic shot through her chest. She hadn’t told her she’d be late, because she didn't even realise how long she’d stayed. Her stomach twisted as guilt and fear tangled into a knot she couldn’t loosen. “Mom,” she said. Sage answered and asked where she was and when she'd get home. Piper answered, and after a few minutes, the call ended. She stood up, stretched and snatched her bag off the table, and bolted toward the exit, thankGod they didn't lock her in, she thought. The books on the table shook lightly as she moved, the sound echoing too loudly in the empty room. Outside, the night was cool, sha

Piper barely slept. Most of the night she just stared at the ceiling, waiting for morning to come.Every little sound felt too loud, the clock ticking, the heater humming, the floorboards creaking like someone was walking through the empty apartment.Her bag sat on the chair across the room.She kept looking at it without meaning to.When her alarm finally buzzed, she shut it off before it could finish the second ring. Her body felt heavy when she stood, muscles stiff from tension more than rest.She moved through her morning slowly, as if she were on autopilot, showering, dressing, and tying her hair back more loosely than usual.Downstairs, the kitchen was empty.A folded note sat on the counter in her mother’s familiar handwriting.“Early meeting. Text me when you’re up. I love you.”Guilt pressed into her chest. She folded the note carefully and slipped it into her pocket before grabbing her food and bag.The campus moved like any other weekday, students rushing to lectures, conve

The hallway buzzed with whispers that had nothing to do with Piper, and that was exactly how Cecil liked it.“Someone got arrested near the south gate last night,” a girl murmured as Cecil passed.“No, my cousin works security, patrols are doubled everywhere,” another replied.“I heard there was a break-in at the admin building. They’re hiding it.”“My roommate said the police were searching dorms this morning, like actual police.”“They’re not telling us the real reason.”Fear clung to the air, thin and electric. Students walked faster, shoulders tense, voices low. No one laughed too loudly anymore. No one lingered alone near stairwells.Cecil moved through them unnoticed.Her pace and her expression never changed. Cecil listened when she heard Piper's name called behind her.“…she’s still coming to class after everything? That’s insane.”Cecil didn’t turn. Piper was background noise now a moving target in a field of distractions. The real focus was timing.She adjusted her sleeve s

The training house smelled like sweat, worn leather, and the faint bite of metal, the honest kind of place that didn’t pretend to be anything other than what it was.Thick mats covered the floor, old weapon racks lined the walls, and wide windows let in streaks of evening light that painted the room gold and dusty.Piper pressed a towel to her forehead, breathing hard as sweat cooled against her skin. Her muscles trembled from exhaustion, not dramatic pain, just the deep, stubborn ache that came from pushing past your limit and refusing to quit.She tipped her head back and drank from a bottle of water, swallowing greedily. Her lungs still burned. Her arms felt like they belonged to someone else.Across the mat, Archie watched her with the patience of someone who had long accepted that she would never admit she was tired first.He leaned back against a rack of lined practice weapons, arms folded, expression equal parts coach and amused older brother.“You’re pushing too hard,” he said

Chapter 136

The first attacker crossed the room fast, confident, trained, expecting surprise to carry the moment.It didn’t.Archie moved first.His strike wasn’t wild or theatrical. It was controlled a precise step forward, a clean disarm that sent a blade skidding across the mat. The attacker stumbled back, clearly unprepared for resistance this organised.Piper followed instinct. Block. Step. Counter. Her body reacted before her thoughts caught up, exhaustion pushed aside by adrenaline. The rhythm of the drills echoed through her movements, the quiet repetitions from earlier suddenly worth everything.Another figure rushed in from the left.She pivoted, barely catching the incoming strike. The force rattled through her arms, but she held steady. Archie shifted beside her instantly, intercepting the next blow aimed at her shoulder.“Left side,” he warned calmly.“I see it,” she said, breath tight but controlled.Behind them, Ember hovered near the equipment rack with her baton raised like she w

Chapter 137

The training house was quiet now, the remnants of chaos scattered across the mats and weapon racks.Piper’s arms still ached, muscles trembling from exhaustion, but the adrenaline that had rushed during the fight still thrummed faintly in her veins.She let out a long breath and wiped her forehead, glancing at Archie as he methodically checked the corners of the room. Apart from a few scratches, they were mostly in good condition.Ember sat cross-legged on a bench, baton lazily resting across her lap. “Well, that was dramatic,” she said, eyes barely lifting from her book. “I almost feel cheated that no one got a proper heroic fall.”Piper gave a tired chuckle. “You’d enjoy that way too much.”“Absolutely. But also, thank me later for keeping you from completely embarrassing yourselves.” Ember’s smirk was sharp, teasing, and somehow grounding.Archie didn’t respond, focused on straightening the mats and returning practice weapons to their racks. Piper leaned against the wall, letting h

Her mother’s eyes were piercing, and impossible to ignore. “This shouldn’t be here,” she said, voice trembling, breaking slightly at the edges. “Piper, do you understand what this means?”Piper swallowed hard, words catching in her throat. “I thought it was safe,” she whispered, almost inaudibly.“Safe?” her mother repeated, stepping closer. Tears glimmered in her eyes, streaking down her cheeks. “Nothing about this is safe. Not for you. Not for anyone. How did you even,” She broke off, voice cracking. “How could you have this?”Piper’s stomach twisted. Every muscle in her body tensed. Deep down, she knew her mother had already suspected what Piper had suspected herself, the bane had killed her father.Her mother’s hands tightened around the vial, knuckles whitening. “After everything, after your father,” Her voice reduced. She swallowed, blinking rapidly. “Why is this here, Piper?”Piper’s pulse hammered in her ears. She opened her mouth to explain, but no words felt right. How could

Piper’s hand froze on the doorknob. She had expected someone, sirens, shouting, maybe trouble but not him.Standing on her porch, shoulders tense and eyes scanning the street like he was ready to run, was Kris.She blinked. “You?”He didn’t move closer immediately. “I need to come inside, just for a bit.”Piper raised an eyebrow. “A bit?” She wasn’t sure whether to be annoyed, surprised, or suspicious.He exhaled through his nose, a faint edge of irritation in the sound. “I don’t have a lot of options right now and you're nearby.”She stepped forward, daring to challenge him. “Nearby? I don't remember telling you where I live. You called me a stalker once, now look at you.”He didn’t argue, just gave her a sharp look. He wasn’t smiling, he was scanning exits, posture tense.“Trust me,” he said finally, voice low. “If I had another option, I wouldn’t be here.”Piper’s jaw tightened. “Right, the stalker I never asked for.”He glanced at her, eyes narrowed, almost daring her to step back

Chapter 140

Kris didn’t wait for confirmation.The moment the knock came again, the colour drained from his face. His shoulders slumped, eyes snapping toward the door like prey sensing a hunter.“They said they just want to ask questions,” he whispered harshly. “That’s how it starts.”Another knock.Piper didn’t think, she just moved.Her hand shot out, grabbing Kris’s wrist before the knob even turned.“Upstairs,” she hissed.His eyes flashed with fear, anger, and calculation, all fighting for control. For a second she thought he’d argue, pride kicking in like always.Another knock slam“Go upstairs now.”His pride flickered, a reflex, but it died quickly under the weight of fear sitting heavy in his chest. He moved fast, footsteps quiet but rushed as she dragged him toward the staircase.“Second room,” she said. “Stay low and don’t touch anything,” Piper added, emphasising it.He paused halfway up, breathing unevenly, eyes sharp with panic he was trying and failing badly at hiding.“If they fin
