Semua Bab Stuck Between Two Alpha Heir’s: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Piper inhaled sharply, closed her eyes, and said everything in one long, stiff breath:“I met Archie before I even knew his name, and we agreed to just be friends, but now I get super jealous whenever I see him with Elsa. My mum might not be crazy after all because I found out the Widow’s Bane actually exists, and I think I’ve seen it. The people holding it are planning to hurt someone, Professor Stein wants to experiment on it, and I think the substance might have been used to kill my father. I found an old photo of my dad before he died with a woman. Then, a few days ago, this crazy old woman came to my house looking for me. She gave me a locket and said to ‘hold onto the truth, whatever that means. Archie and I kissed and I think he hated it because he’s been ignoring me and I—”“Hold on!” Ember slapped her hands to her temples, wincing. “You did what?!” Her eyes flew open wide enough to make the heart monitor beep faster from her movement. “You kissed Archie!?”Piper shrank where

“Elsa?” Piper repeated out loud, half amused.Frankly there's wasn't much of a reaction or a change of expression on Piper's face. Lots of people had a grudge with Elsa, obviously. Somehow she has managed to piss off everyone at Ironclaw High. But what exactly did she do that was so bad to make Kris want to use such a dangerous substance on her? Because no matter how awful Elsa was, no matter how many times she sneered, bullied, or humiliated others, no one deserved that fate. Losing your wolf was like losing a part of your soul. And then dying painfully afterward.Piper had seen it happen. She had watched the agony consume her father. That kind of horror should never touch anyone else, even someone like Elsa.She turned fully to Cecil, the bitterness in her eyes turning to urgency. “Did they mention why they want to hurt her? Or what they are planning to use?”Cecil sighed and shook her head. “No. Nothing specific. But—” She leaned in slightly, her voice low. “They said they would

Piper shoved the bathroom door open so hard that it banged into the stopper. She wasn’t even sure why, but anger was boiling inside her.Linda stood at the mirror, unbothered. She was busy adding the finishing touches to her slightly full lip with her nude lipstick. She finally noticed Piper's reflection radiating pure hostility from behind. She rolled her eyes.“Jeez,” she sighed, “I could feel you staring daggers at me from a mile away.” Then she asked lazily, “What do you want?”Piper's eyes narrowed on her. She looked beautiful, breathtakingly beautiful. Her dark skin radiated under the bathroom lights, like it literally glowed. Her fox shaped eyes were alluring, framed by her long lashes, high cheekbones, and a body with curves that screamed confidence. She looked like a vixen. A sexy one at that. She looked so mature and sophisticated, making Piper envious of her looks. So this was Archie's type? Not. Bad. At. All. Piper took a step forward, her jaw clenching. She was terrifi

Archie.It was Archie.Piper’s heart jolted the moment she saw him walk into the classroom, sliding past the aisle to his usual spot. A black headset hung loosely around his neck, and his bag was thrown over one shoulder lazily like he hadn’t even tried to wear it properly. His hair was slightly messy, messier than usual, and the sight of him made something warm race through Piper’s chest.It felt like forever since she last saw him. The days that passed weren't forever, she knew that, but her body certainly didn’t. Her cheeks flushed, her breath caught. A smile tugged at the corners of her lips and refused to be calm.Cecil, of course, noticed her reaction in less than a second.“Hmmm,” she hummed knowingly, leaning back in her seat. “Archie Quinn hasn’t been around for some days now.” She turned accusingly toward Piper. “And you seem overly excited about his arrival.”Piper snapped out of her trance like someone had snapped their fingers at her. “I’m not overly excited,” she said q

Jacob froze, mid-bite, the sandwich hovering inches away from his mouth. He turned slowly, his eyes locking onto Piper. At first, he turned to her with a startled look, but in an instant, it disappeared, his eyes narrowing evenly, with a hint of annoyance flickering through them. He gradually lowered the sandwich to the table. “What do you want?” he asked coldly. Piper noticed the rudeness in his tone, but quickly brushed it off her shoulder as she took a seat opposite him with a warm smile spreading on her lips. “Relax,” she said lightly to ease the tension, glancing at the sandwich before looking back at him. “I won't tell anyone about this,” Jacob's eyes narrowed down, the frown on his face deepening. “Great.” “Great?” Piper raised a brow, deliberately overlooking his obvious sarcasm. “Nice to see you too.” She set her bag on the desk, her eyes locking onto him. To her surprise and horror, he sighed and began to pack up, pulling up his bag and the container for his half eaten
