The Hidden Princess At All-Boys Alpha Academy

My hands curl into fists in my side as I glare at my father, my jaw set.
Chapter 0217
I'm well, well aware that I'm supposed to quail under the look my father is
leveling at me now — that it's sent many big tough Alphas running for the hills.
But, well, I'm my father’s daughter, aren't 1?
And I am not giving in that easily. No way in hell.
“I'm going back, dad,” I growl, my voice matching his own even though it's
several octaves higher. “You can’t stop me.”
“The hell I can't —"
“I have worked too hard!” I shout, getting up on my knees and leaning towards
him now. “I have been busting my ass at that school, proving myself! I =
“And it almost killed you, Ariel!” my dad shouts back, leaning in so that our faces
are only inches apart.
“I survived, didn't I!'?” I whip my finger up between us, a move I've seen my mom
make a thousand times, but my dad just swats it away. “I'm proving myself, dad. I
already beat
twenty percent of the candidate class getting into the school, and now I've beat
forty percent of the men who have been training just as hard as me! You cannot
discount me and say that I haven't earned my spot!”
“You were carried over the finish line bleeding and barely breathing, Ariel,” dad
says, and his anger snaps a little as he speaks the words. He groans again as he
pictures it, straightening up and closing his eyes against the mental image. “I
cannot, in good faith, send you to your death — you are not built, physically, for
this world
(«
“So, the only people who are worthy of the education,” I say, sitting back on my
butt and crossing my arms as I glare at him, “are big guys, like you?”
His
eyes fly open to stare at me, and then they narrow. “You know that's not what I
mean.” “In this school I am not your daughter — I'm Ari Clark, who is a boy,” I
argue, knowing perhaps that it won't make as much sense but needing to make
the point anyway. “He’s small, but he’s smart. And he’s earned his place there.
You can't take this away from me not when I..." I hesitate now, biting my lip. “Not
when it's the only life I think I've ever really wanted, dad!”
He groans again, pressing his eyes shut as he whips his head to the side. And
despite his actions, I know he’s hearing me — I know he’s listening. He just really,
really doesn't like it.
“She's not wrong, Dominic,” my mom says softly, and a rush of joy runs through
me when I hear her support, though I don’t turn to look at her, keeping my eyes
on him. “You're being if she was a boy; or, hell, if she was more of a dad than a
military commander right now anyone else’s girl...you'd let her go back.”
“Quite frankly, Dom, if you keep her out you're just being sexist.” My eyes go
wide as I turn to stare at Aunt Cora, and my dad and mom do the same. She just
shrugs, her chin high as she stares him down. “I've said from the start that this
school was on the wrong side of it to only let in boys. It's been running for more
than twenty years now, and you finally have a girl Cadet who has genuinely
proven that she’s better than half the boys who showed up and tried.”
Cora gestures to me here, and another rush of joy pulses through me.
“Again,” my dad says, his teeth gritted. “She nearly died.”
