The Hidden Princess At All-Boys Alpha Academy

Chapter 0697

A wild grin crosses my face as I fix my eyes on the ball of paper and set it ablaze before it even stops rolling. It only takes a second longer to pull on Luca's wind to lift the fire higher, creating a tiny whirlwind of flame just above the table, feeding it with Jackson's power after the paper itself fully disintegrates. Experimenting, being quite careful, I push on the wind, lifting the flames into the air and letting them spiral.

When I feel quite in control, I let it ride, powered by my bonds but not pushing it left or right. "So, it's kind of like that," I say, turning to my dad and Roger with a shrug.

They just stare at it in the air, their mouths open in awe.

"She's playing it cool," Tony says, glancing at me from the side of his eye with a smirk. "It's this, but like, a thousand times that size."

"How...how big can you go?" Roger asks, glancing at me before returning his eyes to the flame, fascinated.

"Um, we're not totally sure," I say, glancing over at Jacks.

"Really big," Jackson says, answering for me with absolute confidence, his own eyes on the magic before us. "Really, really big." "Jesse?" I say, inviting him to join in.

"Yes, finally, thank you, you big attention hog," he murmurs, making me laugh, but only because I know he's not really jealous. Dad and Roger actually gasp when Jesse's shadows are added, leaning forward to study what we can do.
