All Chapters of The Alpha Heiress in Disguise: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Daniela wished she could make out his face, but the world was still wrapped in a thick, drunken haze. His features blurred together no matter how hard she blinked. Still, she didn’t need to see him to know what expression he wore. The weight of his stare settled over her like stone, and she could almost picture the crease between his brows and the faint glare she was certain was aimed straight at her.“I only asked you to stay in bed,” he said at last, his voice low, controlled, though the irritation beneath it was impossible to miss. “How difficult could that have been?”She swallowed against the dryness in her throat.“Very.”A humorless laugh escaped him.“Of course it was. I should’ve expected that.”“I couldn’t stay in bed.” She lifted her head stubbornly, though it made the room tilt. “I had to come to class. If I skip another day, who knows what my homeroom teacher…”“I told you I was going to speak to him.” His words cut cleanly through hers. “And I did. You won’t be punished

“Try moving me.”“I’d enjoy that.”“I’d kill you.”Daniela squeezed both hands against her temples.Her head throbbed.“…Why are you flirting so aggressively?”“WE ARE NOT!”The answer came in perfect unison.Again.Neither of them looked away.Neither yielded.Neither bothered lowering the crushing weight of their presence.The pressure pounding against Daniela’s skull only grew worse.A strange twist rolled through her stomach.She made a miserable little sound.Nico glanced down immediately.“Hellcat…”His eyes narrowed.“I swear, if you throw up on me, I will…”“I already did.”She pointed lazily toward Kieran.“We kissed in the shower.”She smiled proudly.“And then I threw up in his mouth.”Silence.Absolute silence.Something changed inside Nico.The easy indifference disappeared without a trace.A violent storm swept across his face, so sudden and so fierce that even Daniela felt it through her haze. His chest tightened almost imperceptibly, while something dark and possessive

“Where are they now?”“My scouts spotted movement near the Lower District.”The wolf inhaled sharply.“We’re following them.”Another breath.“But there are too many.”His voice grew grim.“If they move, they’ll take the student quickly.”“They won’t.”The words left Kieran without hesitation.His eyes drifted back toward Daniela.Still asleep.Still curled awkwardly on the bench as though she didn’t have a single idea how many storms had begun gathering around her.Why…He wondered silently.Why did every road seem to lead back to her?“One more thing, Boss.”Kieran looked toward the window.“Speak.”“If both operations succeed…”The wolf hesitated.“The assassination.”“The kidnapping.”“And the traitor inside Westmoor…”He didn’t need to finish.“…the academy becomes responsible for everything.”A perfect collapse.Political.Social.Military.Westmoor’s reputation would shatter overnight.Exactly the sort of masterpiece their enemy preferred.Cold.Patient.Calculated years in adv

The burst of speed caught Liam completely off guard.For one stunned heartbeat, his jaw nearly hit the ground before the rushing wind forced it shut again.His feet scrambled frantically beneath him, barely managing to match Daniela’s pace. More than once, he almost tripped over himself, skipping awkwardly just to keep from being dragged face-first across the field.His eyes remained fixed on her.She wasn’t fully transformed.She wasn’t even close.Yet she was moving at a speed that made the scenery blur around them.It made no sense.There had to be an explanation.She had to possess an extraordinarily rare wolf.Or perhaps she’d spent years training in secret while everyone else slept.But even that didn’t seem enough.No amount of training should allow someone to move like this without a complete transformation.It simply wasn’t possible.Behind them, Nico’s legs had already shifted.Dark fur raced over his feet as powerful wolf paws tore across the ground. Every stride devoured i

“Either pray I’m your partner…”She folded her arms with exaggerated confidence.“…so I can save you.”He rolled his eyes.“Or…”She bumped his shoulder.“…train so hard over the next two days that nobody gets the chance.”She smiled.“Besides…”“I don’t think you’re losing to anyone that easily.”Liam stared at her for a second.Then a genuine smile finally broke across his face.“…Thanks.”Without another word, he threw an arm around her shoulders and pulled her along as they started back toward the dormitories.For the first time that afternoon…The thought of what was waiting in three days didn’t seem quite so terrifying.Daniela sat at the small desk beside her bed, another library book lying open in front of her.She turned another page.Then another.By the time she reached the end, she quietly closed the book and rubbed her tired eyes.There was nothing new.Everything inside it was already familiar.That had become a pattern ever since she enrolled at Westmoor.Most of what t
