The Hidden Princess At All-Boys Alpha Academy novel Chapter 395

“Would you stop it!?” Ben growls, his voice a little frantic now, looking over at the bar where Rafe is finishing up. “I’m never going to see the Atalaxians again, so it won’t matter and I’ll be fine, just drop it –“

I gasp, going still. “So, it has something to do with the Atalaxians!?”

He groans, turning away from me and clenching his jaw, clearly pissed at himself for letting that slip.

“What did they do to you!?” I growl, grabbing his arm, livid now.

“Nothing!” he snaps, turning his head to glare at me. “They did nothing, Ariel, just drop it!”

“NO!”

He grabs me by the arms then, dragging me to the corner of the room, giving up at any attempt to be inconspicuous. “If I tell you, will you drop it, and tell no one!?”

I glare at him a little, not sure if I trust this. “I agree, if you tell me everything,” I say, snapping my finger up to point into his face. “And if you don’t need healing. Because if you’re sick! I’m taking you to mom!”

“Fine,” he bites out, glaring hard at me and then glancing over at the bar, where the other three have their back turned. But still, Rafe is picking up the glasses, and I know that we only have instants left. “It’s my…my fucking mate, Ariel.”

My jaw drops utterly open and I just stare up at him. “What?” I breathe, utterly shocked.

“Yes, okay? So, can you please just let it go, and stop bringing attention to this!?” He looks anxiously over at where Rafe is turning back towards the room, looking for us.

“One of them,” I whisper, grabbing Ben’s arm, dragging his attention back to me. “One of them is your mate!?”

“Yes!” he snaps, frantic now, wanting to get back to the group before someone notices.
