All Chapters of The Alpha Heiress in Disguise: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Josephine moved before Daniela even realized she had decided.Silver light burst across the corner of the greenhouse, bright enough to sting the eyes. Her body folded in on itself as bones reshaped with a series of sharp cracks, smooth skin disappearing beneath a flood of gleaming silver fur. The transformation lasted only an instant.Then she was gone.The silver wolf exploded forward with breathtaking speed, tearing through the broken doorway. Sunlight poured over her coat, making it shimmer like liquid moonlight before the forest swallowed her whole. The hedges trembled in her wake, and then there was only silence.At that exact moment, Floyd stepped into the clearing.He stopped.His gaze caught the last flash of silver disappearing between the trees. It vanished so quickly that, for a brief second, he questioned whether he’d imagined it.His breathing slowed.“…A silver wolf.”The words slipped from his lips before he realized he’d spoken.He had never seen one.Not once.His fat

As warm water poured over her shoulders, she felt Josephine’s silver fur melt away, sinking gently back beneath her skin until she was herself again.The water washed streaks of dried blood down the drain.She closed her eyes.If only pain disappeared that easily.You okay? Josephine asked softly.Daniela let out a long sigh.I feel awful.She rested her forehead against the tiled wall.I’m sorry for shouting at you.A heavy silence followed.You were right.Her voice grew quieter.If you hadn’t stepped in… that weapon would’ve killed me.She swallowed.Frank would’ve…The words refused to come.Her chest tightened until breathing itself became difficult.Josephine didn’t rush to fill the silence.When she finally spoke, her voice was gentle.It’s okay.Another pause.You’re in love with him.I understand.Daniela shut her eyes tighter.But Frank’s explanation doesn’t add up.Josephine’s tone became thoughtful.He claimed the second-years forced him into it.That doesn’t make sense.E

He gestured vaguely toward himself.“…whatever this is?”Daniela shook her head.“No.”She corrected him gently.“It’ll help you understand what you’re feeling.”She smiled.“There’s a difference.”The word feeling made him visibly uncomfortable.He looked away.“Asking me to deal with feelings…”He muttered under his breath.“…that’s asking a lot.”“I know.”Her answer came without hesitation.“But you’re still here.”He glanced back at her.“You haven’t walked away.”His jaw tightened.He hated that she’d noticed.Daniela smiled.“We don’t have to fix everything today.”“This is just one step.”Nico looked at her again.Really looked.Long enough for her pulse to start racing all over again.She couldn’t read him.He couldn’t read her either.She was unlike anyone he’d ever met.Impossible to categorize.Infuriating.Unpredictable.Somehow…Every instinct warned him to keep his distance.Every instinct also wanted him to stay exactly where he was.“…Fine.”The word escaped him like

“And you’ve improved.”His gaze swept briefly across the clinic.“It seems Westmoor still deserves its reputation.”Daniela wanted to smile at Liam.Instead, she kept her face carefully blank.One careless breath could undo everything.Ashbourne’s attention shifted back to her.“And you…”His eyes narrowed almost imperceptibly.“Alexander Cameron.”Her stomach tightened.“Yes, sir.”He regarded her quietly.“You seem…”Another pause.“…unsettled.”For one terrifying second, Daniela thought her soul had abandoned her body.She dragged herself back together through sheer force of will.She dipped her head again.“My apologies, sir.”“The matches earlier were… more intense than I anticipated.”Silence answered her.Long enough to become uncomfortable.Then longer still.Ashbourne took one slow step closer.Rule three echoed through her head so loudly it drowned out everything else.Don’t let an Alpha get close.Too late.His eyes sharpened.Not suspicious.Curious.Like someone staring a

“You’re making this unbelievably difficult.”“I know.”“I’m waiting.”Silence swallowed the clearing.The wind rushed through the broken stone targets.Somewhere overhead, birds cried as they circled above the cliffs.Time seemed to stretch.Every passing second made the words lodged inside her throat feel heavier.Her lips trembled.Her palms were damp.Her heartbeat pounded so loudly it drowned out almost everything else.She squeezed her eyes shut.When she opened them again…She met Floyd’s gaze head-on.For one impossible moment…She wished this was all a nightmare.That she’d wake up back in her dormitory.Safe.Hidden.Still pretending.But reality never showed that kind of mercy.She drew one slow breath.Then another.Finally…She spoke.“My name…”Her voice shook only once.“…is Daniela Grimwood.”She straightened her shoulders.Forced herself not to look away.“I’m Alpha George’s daughter.”A long silence followed.Then, with every ounce of courage she had left, she finishe
