The Hidden Princess At All-Boys Alpha Academy

Chapter 94
I stare at Jackson like he’s an idiot now. Because...honestly I really kind of did
think that he'd figured it out, at a least a little bit. Or that once 1 told him, all the
pieces would snap into place.
But the way he’s looking at me..Jackson does not know.
He bought, hook line and sinker, the lie that I'm Ari Clark, royal cousin who has
some strange and elusive tie to his mate.
“Jacks,” I growl, shaking my head. “No, it's...it's me. Your mate is me.” And with
that, I whip off my cap, revealing the hair braided in a coil on top of my head,
letting my true scent free.
He continues staring at me, uncomprehending. But I see him stumble back a
step, his eyes. going wide the moment my scent hits him.
“How...” he murmurs, his voice trembling. “How can you....you're a Cadet...
you're male...”

“Oh my god,” I groan, dipping my face into my hand for a second before dropping
my and grabbing the hem of my shirt, tugging it up halfway as fast as I can so
that he can see the shape of my body beneath, my wider hips, my trim waist.
“Jacks, no, I'm a girl.”
I stand there, my shirt fisted against my breasts, staring at him, breathless.
Realization hits Jackson like a bus.
His eyes go wide and he stumbles back a step, not breathing, his face going
deathly pale in the light of the moon. I stare at Jackson, watching him struggle to
make sense of the newly disparate pieces of the world. His eyes move fast over
me again and again before, always, returning to my face.
But he just stares back at me, slack—jawed, not saying a word.
And then, after a long, long moment of staring at each other, Jackson just....turns
on his heel.
And stalks away.

Jackson's tall form disappears quickly into the darkness and I stare, my mouth
hanging
into the black night for way, way too long.
open.
And then I groan a long, slow groan, standing up straight and burying my face in
my hands, wondering what the hell I just did.
It's okay, my wolf says, a little frantic, it can’t be bad we told him the truth...the
truth can never be bad...
Yeah, I reply, deeply sarcastic, unless the truth completely upends your world in
the middle of an insane trial. And your core reaction is to just run and leave your
mate stranded on a cliff somewhere.
My wolf murmurs comforting things about how that can’t possibly be what's
happening, that he just needs a minute alone to process because he’s the
solitary sort, but eventually she runs out of pleasant, hopeful sentiments as we
both just stare into the darkness waiting for him to come back.
But..he doesn't.
I curse, slowly and fluently, and turn towards the little overhang of rock where I'd
been sitting with the water. I sink into that spot, sitting hard on my butt and
ignoring the pain as I rest my elbows on my knees and then prop my miserable
chin into my hands.
Because, I mean, what did I think was going to happen!? That he was just going
to be like, “Oh, cool! How nice! What a relief, now I can stay!”
No, of course, my weird outdoorsy Alpha mate reacted to his panic by going
completely back to his roots. He probably shifted into his wolf and is now
prowling around the cliffside in the moonlight, not even thinking human thoughts
anymore, just letting his animal instincts take over and forgetting all about me.
I scowl a little because...well, because as sorry as I feel about losing my temper
and blurting it all out in a rush...
It did hurt my feelings, a little bit, that he just...walked away.

I mean, did he...did he reject me?
Does he hate me? Did he realize that I'm a girl and think, immediately, “ew“?
Oh my god...does Jackson think I'm ugly?
I groan, putting my face back into my hands and shaking my head, hating that
these are my thoughts right now. I mean, I hate not knowing, I hate that he’s not
here to talk this through with me, to hear my apologies and my reassurances, but
I also hate that I'm dealing with mate drama while I've got less than twenty—four
hours now or thereabouts. top of a mountain so that I can keep my place at Alpha
Academy.
I mean, could there have been a worse moment to admit the truth to my mate?
“God, I have such shit timing,” I mutter to myself.

My wolf lays down in my soul, stretching out her long, sorry nose, burying it
under my mental hand, wanting to show me love at the same moment that she
begs for a little. attention. I turn towards her, giving her a little scratch, marveling
again at the softness of
her fur.
It will be okay, she assures me, her eyes wide and limpid and sad. No matter
what happens... it will be okay.
I hope so, I say, smoothing her fur back lovingly. She lets her eyes drift shut,
holding on to the hope for both of us.
But she sits up at the same moment I do at the sound of footsteps pounding back
towards

My breath hitches because...
I mean, is it Jackson? Coming back?
Or...I mean, we weren't precisely quiet, were we?

So....could it be someone else? Could it be someone coming...coming to hurt
me?
Anxious, I spin, looking for my crossbow. I reach for it, snatching it up into my left
hand. my right working anxiously at the quarrel, wanting to get it loaded before
whoever is approaching actually gets here.
But it's too late — I'm not fast enough.
And when I look up, and see who it is, the crossbow falls from my hands anyway.
Because those shoulders, that height, that steady stride sleep, in my dreams.
I'd recognize it anywhere. In my
Anywhere.
My breath hitches as Jackson stalks across the little plateau towards me, his face
stern.
“Jacks,” I murmur, taking a step back, but there's no time for anything else..

And then, before I even realize what's happening, Jackson is kissing me.

him, my legs wrapping instinctually around his waist as he moves his lips against
mine, bidding my mouth open, dipping his tongue inside to lick me, to taste me.
