The Hidden Princess At All-Boys Alpha Academy novel Chapter 543

I scream as the boys come through the door, as Alvez hauls hard on my arm, pulling me up and spinning me around, clasping me to his chest with one arm while the other shoots out towards Jackson and Luca, who barrel forward.

I feel the dark power streaming out of Alvez and heading towards the boys. Desperate, horrified, I press my eyes shut as my scream rips from me, as I send all of my own heart after Alvez’s magic, all the heat I have in my body and my bones racing to meet it, to trace through Avlez’s power, attempting by some instinct to singe it, to burn it, to destroy –

My eyes fly open again when I hear Luca shout in pain and I watch as the magic hits him, knocking him backwards off his feet and flat onto his back.

Jackson flinches in pain, shouting as the magic pulses over him, his canines extended in his rage. But he pounds forward unharmed, continuing on his path straight for me.

Alvez growls, looking down at me as he figures out that I had something to do with the interruption to his magic, but before he can do more than adjust his grip on me a fist lashes out through the air, connecting solidly with his face.

Alvez groans, stumbling backwards, his arm loosening around me –

Suddenly there’s a hand fisted in my shirt and my body is ripped from its place held tight against Alvez. I’m hurled forwards, past Jackson, and I stumble, trying to catch my balance, only to be caught in Luca’s arms as he pulls me close.

Still, I whip my head back in time to see Jackson delivering his second punch, and then his third, all solidly to Alvez’s face, knocking him nearly senseless. I see the magic welling at Alvez’s hands but with every punch it flickers, dimming slightly before regaining power.

“Jackson!” Luca gasps out, pulling me tight to him. “What the – what the fuck are you doing – he’s a professor –“

“He’s not,” I stumble out, looking up desperately at Luca. “He’s –“

“Luca!” Jackson shouts, “fucking help me!” He still delivering the blows desperately, though I can see Alvez grabbing at Jackson now – and where he grabs, Jackson’s clothing starts to disintegrate in patches –

I gasp, instantly moving for Jackson now, reaching for him.
