The Hidden Princess At All-Boys Alpha Academy

Chapter 0225
As mom sits down on the bed with a bounce as I quickly read through my notes —
one from Daphne, apologizing profusely for her betrayal, and the other from Luca
— just a quick scrawl saying he’s glad I'm alive and he'll see me soon. Smiling,
grateful for both of them, I move towards my clothes.
“So!” Mom says, grinning devilishly at me. “Are you sleeping with both of your
mates, or just Luca?”
I freeze, turning to her, shocked.
Mom bursts out laughing and I scowl, picking up the hat on the top of my clothing
pile and throwing it at her. “Mom! Stop doing that just to shock me!”
“Oh, come on,” she sighs, laying back against my pillows. “What's the point of
having a daughter if you can’t embarrass her about her love life. So?” She raises
her eyebrows at me, clearly wanting an answer.
And, well, because I have been wanting to talk to her about this, I sigh and nod.
But I have trouble looking at her as we broach this awkward topic, so I
concentrate, mostly, on getting dressed as we talk. Mom, perhaps sensing the
delicate nature of this conversation, doesn’t give me any flack about it.
“I'm not sleeping with either of them,” I say quietly. “Though, with Luca, things
are... progressing.”
“Oh reallly,” she says, dragging out the word with interest. “But not with
Jackson?” “Well, considering that he’s known for like, thirty-six hours...” I say on
a sigh, pulling on my pants. My mom laughs, understanding.
“But...” I hesitate as I buckle the button of my pants. “Things with Jackson are...
intense.” “Intense?” my mom asks, “what does that mean?” Her voice is gossipy
— I think to put me at ease. Because if she were worried, or scolding, I'd definitely
be too embarrassed to go on. “I mean like... I am very attracted to him, mom.
And it's not that I'm not into Luca much am. It's just.. different.” I look up at her
before I turn my back, tugging off the pajama — I very shirt and reaching for the
black sports bra that Daphne made me. I smirk, wondering how she arranged to
send this all in secret.
“Well,” mom says, her voice considering, “I think that's kind of...cool, honestly. It
sounds like things are different between you and your mates because they're
very different people. I
spicy.
I scoff and turn to glare at my mom as I pull the sports bra down over my chest.
“Oh, come on, mom, I sincerely doubt that the Goddess is paying attention, with
all she has on her plate.”
“I wouldn't doubt her,” mom says, raising her eyebrows and cocking her head.
“But I think Cora was right — your dad is actually the one to be talking to about
this.”
I groan, shaking my head. “Mom, I can’t talk to him about which of his fated
mates he was more into physically.”
“Well,” she says, primly squaring her shoulders. “We already know the answer to
that.”
I burst out laughing and she joins me.
“But seriously, baby,” she says, her face falling into more considered lines. “Your
dad is more empathetic about this stuff than you give him credit for. You should
try. He'll have a better perspective than literally anyone else on earth.”
I sigh, nodding, and then look down at my feet as I bite my lip.
“Don’t worry,” mom says with a sigh. “I'll tell him before you get home.”
I gasp, wondering if she, too, can read my mind. “You willl?”
“I'll keep it secret through your finals so that he'll let you stay to take them,” she
says, pointing a warning finger at me. “But you bring those boys home for winter
break, both of them. And your dad will be prepared to meet them. But you owe
him that truth — especially after all this deception.”
I bite my lip, knowing that this conversation could go in two different directions,
and not wanting to take either of them. Luckily, mom picks for me.

“Both of them?”
“Well, Rafe might have to tie Jackson up and throw him on the train,” I say, lifting
my head to meet her gaze. She grins, but holds back her laugh. “But, yes. I'll get
them there.”
