The Hidden Princess At All-Boys Alpha Academy

Chapter 0777 Rafe just...stares.

His mouth hangs open and he stands still as he just...looks at the place his sister was standing just - just a fucking moment ago -

Where Jackson is now roaring his rage and pain as he turns, fruitlessly, looking everywhere for his mate like he's just going to find her sitting on the ground behind him or something. But she's gone - Ariel is...is fucking gone.

Of not even looking for her.
