All Chapters of Stuck Between Two Alpha Heir’s: Chapter 201 - Chapter 210

Three days had passed since Cecil sent Piper that late-night text.By the time they finally managed to meet, Students crossed the courtyard in hurried groups, conversations overlapped outside lecture halls, and somewhere in the distance, the hockey team was wrapping up another afternoon training session.Piper spotted Cecil first.She stood outside the campus café, waving enthusiastically the moment she caught sight of her.“Piper!”She hurried over, a bright smile already on her face.“You made it.”“I said I would.”Cecil laughed.“I know. I was just making sure you hadn’t decided to abandon me.”Piper smiled back, but something immediately felt… off.Cecil looked exactly like herself. Her hair was neatly tied back. She was dressed the way she always dressed. She was smiling. She was talking.Yet it all felt strangely rehearsed, like she was trying just a little too hard.“You okay?” Piper asked as they started walking.“I’m great.”The answer came too quickly.“Really?”“Mhmm.”Cec

The front door swung open before Piper even had the chance to reach for the handle.“Helloooo, Mrs Sage Moore! Looking young as ever. Thanks for having me!”Ember walked inside carrying a small bag, dropping it onto the floor with a loud thud.Sage looked up from the kitchen counter, where she had been chopping vegetables for dinner, and laughed.“Ember, you didn't even knock properly.”“I did knock,” Ember replied without missing a beat, already wandering farther into the living room.Piper stepped in behind her and closed the door. Turning her attention to her mother, “She invited herself,” she said, slipping off her shoes.“I heard that,” Ember called over her shoulder.“I wanted you to hear it.”Ember pressed a hand dramatically to her chest.“And yet I still chose to come. That’s dedication to our friendship.”Sage shook her head with an amused smile as she wiped her hands on a kitchen towel.“You’re always welcome here, Ember. You know that.”Ember turned toward her with an exag

Piper barely slept. Every time she closed her eyes, she found herself standing outside Cecil’s apartment again.She could still see the closed door, the empty hallway, and the strange sound that had stopped both her and Ember in their tracks. Then there had been nothingno second sound, no footsteps, no explanation.She replayed the moment over and over, wondering if they should have opened the door again instead of walking away. Maybe they had imagined the noise. Maybe they hadn’t. Either possibility left her uneasy.By the time she arrived on campus the next morning, exhaustion sat heavily on her shoulders.Piper sat alone at one of the benches outside the humanities building, her phone resting loosely in her hands.Cecil’s name remained at the top of the screen, and her thumb hovered over it for a moment before she let it fall away again.Then something changed.Her wolf stirred beneath her skin before she consciously noticed anything else, lifting its head as though it had sensed a

Now only silence remained.Rain still hit against the windows, though softer now, and the only light in the living room came from the lamp beside the sofa.Its warm glow spread across the coffee table, illuminating Irene’s open journal while leaving the corners of the room swallowed in shadow.Piper sat motionless.She wasn’t reading anymore.She was staring at the pages as though the words had rearranged themselves into something she hadn’t been prepared to see.Her fingers hovered above the journal without touching it.The final entry refused to leave her mind.The tradition is four days away.I’ve confirmed four disappearances already.If my calculations are correct… there should only be one more.Piper swallowed.Four.The number echoed through her thoughts like a steady pulse she couldn’t silence.Four disappearances.Four days.Four steps leading toward something she still didn’t fully understand, but could no longer dismiss as coincidence.She leaned back slowly, forcing hersel

They were already seated when Rollins arrived.Lunch break at school looked exactly as it always did. The courtyard buzzed with conversations as students crowded around tables, balancing trays of food while arguing over classes, weekend plans, and anything that kept their minds on ordinary things.Laughter echoed across the campus, blending into the familiar chaos of another school day.Everything looked normal.Almost painfully so.Piper sat at their usual table with her notebook open in front of her. She hadn’t written anything for several minutes, but she hadn’t closed it either. It rested beneath her hands as though she might need it at any moment.Beside her, Ember scrolled absently through her phone, pausing every so often to look sideways at Piper.She’d noticed the distant look in her friend’s eyes more than once that morning and seemed determined not to let her disappear into her thoughts completely.Across from them, Archie sat quietly, one elbow resting against the table as
