The Hidden Princess At All-Boys Alpha Academy

Chapter 0473

"Oh, I don't need espionage training to notice when my prized possessions are missing," I say, yawning and letting myself flop down on the couch pillows. "I grew up with Jesse. He stole everything. All of my toys." "Lies!" Jesse calls from across the room. "...I only took the little ponies. The ones with the fancy hair."

Luca laughs too and leans down to press another kiss to my mouth - a nice, lingering one- and then he and Benny are gone, off to bed.

I haul myself up off the couch with a groan and flop over to the bathroom, getting myself ready for bed and giving my teeth a good scrub. I stare at the shower for a long moment, contemplating it, wondering if I have the energy or can just be smelly for a night when a familiar scent wafts in the door.

I laugh in delight, quickly rinsing my mouth, and then I'm dashing out the bathroom door and jumping immediately into Jackson's arms.

"How did you know!?" I ask, laughing, holding him close and then pulling away to peer into his beautiful face. "How are you here three minutes after Luca left!?"

"Because someone's little wolf was howling for mine all night," Jackson growls happily, lifting his face to nudge my nose with his. "And when she finally stopped, I knew it was time to come up." I start to laugh, but Jackson silences me by planting a firm kiss on my mouth. A little moan slips from me as I kiss Jackson back, a little more deeply than I usually would in front of my brother and my cousin, not really able to help it.
