The Hidden Princess At All-Boys Alpha Academy

Chapter 0540

"Okay, buddy," I say with a grin. "Juice me up."

"Don't call me buddy," he mutters, "or Jacky. Or anything that ends in -ie."

"Yes, puppy," I sigh, my grin deepening. But Jackson just rolls his eyes before he closes them and begins to concentrate again. Immediately I feel the energy fill me, a warm buzz of power that floods into me like an ocean wave. But as soon as it gets quite near the point where I start to feel full of it like I can't hold anymore - I concentrate on my hand in Rafe's, on the bond I have with my brother which I know has always been strong.

And suddenly I feel it happen - feel the energy start to siphon off like a stream from a wide lake. I grin, turning to Rafe, watching, waiting...

And when he starts to feel it, his eyes go wide. I give a little push, letting it flood into him a little, and Rafe gasps, his hair nearly standing on end.

"Holy shit, holy shit!" Rafe stutters, dropping my hand and scrambling away from me. "Are you...are you serious!?"

"Whoa," Jackson says, his eyes going wide, the energy still flowing into me but now with nowhere to go.

Laughing, a little desperate to put the energy somewhere before I get overfilled, I reach out for Jesse, giving him a bunch of power in a single rush.

Jesse gives a little shriek, jumping away from my touch and scrambling, like Rafe, away from me and towards the headboard.
