The Hidden Princess At All-Boys Alpha Academy novel Chapter 763

“Take me back!” he shouts, storming close and grabbing her shoulders, giving her a shake. “Right fucking now!”

“No!” she shouts in return, a scowl taking her tiny features. “I’m never taking you back there! Not to that whore –“

Jesse gasps and then shoves the girl away from him. “Don’t you ever call Daphne that ever again!”

“She is a whore!” the girl shouts, leaning towards him with her fists at her sides once she regains her footing from his shove. “A stupid, ugly whore who was willing to take your mark when she wasn’t even your mate – which is illegal and a sin and –“

Jesse just stares at this tiny person like she’s insane. “It’s not illegal you complete idiot, and Daphne is my mate –“

“No,” the girl growls, stepping close again and sneering up into his face. “I am your mate, Jesse Sinclair. Not that stupid whore that you used to warm your bed. Me.”

He blanches as he stares down at her. But even as he tries to deny it, his wolf gives him a nudge within his soul, a soft and whining one, glancing back at the girl again and again.

Because Jesse’s wolf…he knows.

That it’s right. That this tiny, insane girl is…

“My mate?” Jesse whispers, staring down at her.

“Yes,” she says, a smile blooming again on her face, so wide and pretty that it shocks him. She steps close and reaches up, winding her arms around his neck. “And we’re going to be so happy. We’re going to live here, in the Darkness, and we’re going to have eighteen pups, and we’re going dedicate them all to Darkness and teach them all about the Shadows, and –“

Jesse stumbles away, grabbing her arms and shoving them from his neck, staring hard at this…girl. This creature.

“But…Daphne…” He turns to his wolf again, who howls, completely confused. Because both are undeniable – it’s not like what he had heard before, that once you meet your mate all other girls pale in comparison. Daphne – his wolf still wants her, longs for her. But he also turns back towards this strange, tiny person, and…and wants her too…

“Don’t say that filthy name ever again,” the girl snaps, raising her chin and pointing a finger at his face. “I forbid it.”

“Who the fuck are you?” Jesse mumbles, looking over his…his mate. This tiny, insane person who is so…undeniably his mate.

“Hey, you’re supposed to love me!” the girl snaps, livid. “I wish you would get over your surprise and get started on that instead!”

Jesse spins to stare at her, appalled. “You kidnap me,” he spits out, his energy matching her own, “from my girlfriend’s bed, you scratch her face, and drag me here to this fucking wasteland, and now you demand that I love you!?”

“You have to!” she says, pouting, actually stomping her foot. God, what, is she a child!? Suddenly he stands straight, freaked out that she might be – she’s tiny – but no, one glance over her curving form demonstrates that though she’s very small she’s…definitely grown.

“Midnight,” Jesse snaps, feeling ridiculous to even say the name as he holds out a placating hand towards her. “I do not love you. I don’t want to be here. Just – take me back!”

His heart starts to pound in his chest as he realizes that he’s actually been kidnapped from his world – that he left Daphne alone and bleeding – that there’s a battle that he’s supposed to be at tonight –

And he’s here. With this girl. Trapped.

He spins in a circle, desperate for some way out. But not only is there no way out, there’s just…nothing. Absolutely nothing.
