The Hidden Princess At All-Boys Alpha Academy

Chapter 0805 But suddenly Gabriel appears in the middle of my room and strides immediately for me. "You are not to go there," he snarls. "Sleeping there!? In the Darkness!? What were you thinking!?"

I cringe away from him again even as my wolf snarls.

"Gabriel," Elias says, his voice warning. "Reel it in."

To my shock, Gabriel does as Elias says, stopping before he reaches the side of the bed and comes within arm's distance of me. Still, he turns his furious face back to mine. "Did you like the pretty cage I built for you, pet?" he growls, leaning forward to stare into my eyes. "So that even if you try to escape me by going to the Land of Darkness, I've still got you trapped."

I realize it all with sudden clarity that rather takes my breath away. That all of those cages in the Land of Darkness - they're for me. Just in case I try to run away using that world - because, somehow, I'm better at it than him. Better at shifting there, better at navigating it, because he only dedicated himself to Darkness five years ago.

But me? I've had this gift since I was born.

I fight, hard, to keep a smile from curling on my lips. But the desire to keep my pleasure hidden is aided

by the realization that...it must have taken ages for them to build all of those cages in the other world - the miles and miles of steel fence to keep me trapped.

Which means that they've been planning to trap me for...a long, long time.

I look up into my mate's seething face and suddenly make a decision that I...do not want to be in his presence any longer.

And so I shift again, as easily as breathing, my eyes catching a sly smile on Elias's face as he watches me go.
