Todos los capítulos de Stuck Between Two Alpha Heir’s: Capítulo 181 - Capítulo 190

Archie didn't bother dismissing Rollins, Whatever had started as a reckless conversation outside Archie’s dorm had slowly stretched into something heavier, something neither of them could walk away from once it took shape.By the time the sky began to darken, there were coffee cups on the floor, scattered notes across and a kind of silence between them that didn’t feel like peace, but pressure.Ember was the first to be pulled in because Archie called her. ,Cecil came later in the afternoon after a short message and even shorter explanation even though Ember was against it.By evening, all four of them were in an abandoned study room tucked away at the back of campus, the kind of place no one bothered to clean anymore because no one expected anybody important to be back there.But tonight, everything important seemed to be happening there anyway.The tension wasn’t loud. It sat in the space between them like something unfinished.Rollins leaned back in his chair, arms folded loosely,

Piper found Archie exactly where she expected him to be.He was alone at the old training field behind campus, the one most people had stopped using once the newer facilities were built.Archie sat on the lowest rail, elbows resting on his knees, head slightly lowered. From a distance, he looked like someone trying not to think too loudly.Piper hesitated at the edge of the field before stepping forward.A twig snapped under her shoe.Archie looked up immediately.The shift in his expression was subtle, but real. Surprise first, then something more careful, like he wasn’t sure if she was actually there or if he’d misread the moment.“Piper,” he said.Her name came out softer than she expected, She stopped a few steps away. “Hi.”For a moment, neither of them spoke. The silence between them wasn’t uncomfortable exactly, just unfamiliar.Archie finally stood.“You okay?” he asked.The question almost made her laugh, not because it was funny, but because it was so ordinary compared to ev

Outside, birds chirped somewhere beyond the towering pines surrounding the estate, The peace felt… strange.Piper lay awake long before anyone else, staring at the unfamiliar ceiling above her. Sleep had come easily after the pack gathering, yet waking up was another matter entirely.The previous evening replayed in fragments behind her eyes, standing beneath the amber sky, Archie’s stunned expression when she’d accepted him, the deafening cheers from both packs, and the warmth of his hand wrapped around hers.It hadn’t felt like destiny. It felt like a choice.That, more than anything else, made her smile.A knock sounded against the bedroom door.Before she could answer, the door swung open just enough for Ember to poke her head inside.“There she is!” Ember announced dramatically. “The newest future Luna.”Piper groaned and buried her face in the pillow.“No.”“Oh yes.”“I said no.”“You literally announced it in front of hundreds of wolves.”“I know what I did.”“Then accept the c

The words refused to leave Piper’s mind.“You smiled at him the same way Irene used to.”She stood rooted to the spot as students streamed around them, backpacks slung over their shoulders, conversations blending into the morning air. A few glanced at the imposing figure standing before her before quickly looking away. No one lingered around Alpha Vlad longer than they had to.Vlad remained motionless. His weathered face betrayed nothing, his pale eyes fixed on Piper with an intensity that made it difficult to breathe. It felt as though he had revealed more than he’d intended, yet there wasn’t a trace of regret on his face.Every instinct screamed at her to leave. People feared Alpha Vlad for a reason. He wasn’t a man anyone questioned, and certainly not someone she should be standing alone with. But he had spoken Irene’s name.She swallowed hard before forcing herself to meet his gaze.“Alpha Vlad…” Her voice came out quieter than she’d intended. “What did you mean by that?”Silence

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.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
