The Hidden Princess At All-Boys Alpha Academy

Chapter 0249
To my surprise, Jackson makes absolutely no move to put me down. Instead, he
just looks at Luca evenly for a second. “Your girlfriend?” he asks, the words low
and light with disbelief. He hums consideringly and then turns his face back up to
mine. “What do you think, Clark?” he murmurs, nodding over to where Luca
stands, not bothering to look his way. “That your boyfriend over there?”
I can't help it then, loving the assurance in his voice, the calm way he dismisses
Luca's jealousy. A slow, happy smile spreads over my lips as I stare down at him,
not saying a single word regarding whether Luca’s my boyfriend or not.
Because honestly, I don’t know.
But Jackson's right — Luca doesn’t get to boss him around on this, does he?
“Didn’t think so,” Jackson murmurs, low enough that maybe only I hear him. But
then he grins at me and lowers me to the floor as Luca strides to my side,
grabbing my hand.
“Okay, okay,” Rafe says, stepping forward with a sigh. “Clearly, clearly we need
some ground rules here.”
And I sigh, glancing up at both of my mates, before crossing the room to Rafe’s
side.
Because my brother is right it’s time we got some things straight and I might need
some physical distance from them to do that.
“What are you even doing here?” Luca growls at Jackson, his arms crossed as
they stand about a foot apart.
“Came for breakfast,” Jackson says, giving a calm shrug. “I was invited.” He
glances at Jesse now, who grins at him.
“Coffee?” Ben asks, starting to pour Jackson a cup.
“Sure,”
“Jacks says, crossing the room to take it from him.
“Look, can we cut this bullshit,” Luca snaps, clearly worked up. “What is all this
happy family nonsense!? Are we all just going to pretend that McClintock and I
didn't try to kill each other last night? That we're not going to do it again if we
don't get this two—mate nonsense figured out!?”
“I'm not going to kill you,” Jackson says evenly, taking a calm sip of his coffee. I
blink at him, a little surprised, wondering where all this confidence came from.
This is, in some
ways, a very different Jackson than the grief-stricken wolf who stormed out of
here last night. “Are you going to kill me? Or...try?”
Luca sputters, not wanting to seem like the aggressor now that Jackson has
proclaimed himself neutral. Then Luca grits his teeth, storming over to Jackson.
Rafe grabs the back of my shirt, not letting me go to them, knowing that my first
instinct is to stand between them, to negotiate.
“Let them figure it out,” Rafe murmurs when I look back at him. “This, weirdly, is
not actually your problem.”
“Yes it is,” I mutter, crossing my arms. “I'm going to go from two mates to none if
they tear each other to pieces.”
Rafe laughs lightly, but we both just watch as the argument unfolds.

He glances at me with a tiny shrug before turning back to Jackson and Luca.
