The Hidden Princess At All-Boys Alpha Academy

Chapter 0728

"I'll get the kitchen to send the strawberry ice cream she likes," Ben murmurs, feeling utterly useless but thinking that it's better than nothing. He strides for the dumbwaiter. Rafe doesn't follow. Instead, he just collects the gauze that Jesse dropped and continues dabbing at the wound on Ariel's neck, doing his best to clean it for her.

"You just hang in there, baby trouble," he whispers, leaning close. "We'll take care of you. We've got you now."

Ariel just lays perfectly still. Deep down, Rafe is glad that she's not awake. Because when she does come around? God, but the reality of Luca's rejection is just... ...going to destroy her.

Jackson snarls as Luca's scent gets thicker in the air. He's been running for an hour, chasing him. God, fuck but Grant's fast. If he wasn't, Jackson would have caught him long before now.
