The Hidden Princess At All-Boys Alpha Academy

Chapter 0221
“Well, that's enough of that,” my mother says with perfect calm, standing and
catching Jackson's eye. He freezes for a moment and then steps back, standing
up straight again.
Mom, ever—charming, turns a smile on the professor and thanks him for the
news, ensuring him that Sinclair and McClintock will follow in a few minutes to be
transported back. When the professor leaves, mom turns back to Jacks with an
eyebrow raised.
“You're going to have to get better at that,” she says quietly, gesturing towards
the door. ” If Ari is going to return to the Academy, you're going to have to keep
her secret, which means not acing all mate—y whenever someone comes to
deliver perfectly normal news
“She's not going back,” my dad says, stepping towards my mom with a glare.
Mom's mouth pops open in surprise but then they begin to fight, the way they
always do with a great deal of heat and talking over each other. But Rafe and I
just look away from them and towards each other, used to it, because it all turns
out right in the end.
“Oooookay,” Aunt Cora says, stepping away from the bed and coming over to us.
“Why don't I walk the two of you out,” she says, nodding to the big Alphas on
either side of me.” Ariel will —”
“I'm not leaving,” Jackson says, frowning at Cora and reaching a possessive
hand for me.
“Oh, sweetheart,” she says, grinning up at him and reaching a hand out to pat
him fondly on the cheek, an action which I think shocks Jackson to the core. He
stands stock-still, staring at Cora as she beams at him. “Yes, baby,” she sighs,
“you are. Kiss your mate and come along.”
She takes his hand then, tugging on it, and Jackson looks at me a bit helplessly —
I think as shocked at being bossed by a woman as he is at having someone call
him sweetheart and baby. I step close, reaching for him, and Jacks quickly lowers
his head, pressing a quick kiss to my mouth. “I don’t want to go,” he murmurs.
“I'll be fine — I'll see you tomorrow,” I nod at him, eager.
“Ari,” he says, hesitating, looking at me like I'm going to die or disappear if he
leaves the
room.
“Jacks,” I say, taking his face in my hands, sending all the faith and assurance I
can down our bond. “We have to be normal, all right? Just...just for a little bit? I'll
see you at school.”
He sighs, shaking his head, but Cora tugs his hand again and he goes along with
her,
sending me looks over his shoulder as he heads for the door.
“Take care of him,” I say to Rafe, catching at his hand as he, too, goes.
Rafe nods his assurance to me, but as Jackson and Cora slip through the door
dad calls out his name. “Where do you think you're going?” he asks, crossing his
arms over his chest, breaking the argument with my mother to apparently start
one with Rafe.
