The Hidden Princess At All-Boys Alpha Academy

Chapter 0832 Gabriel pulls me through the halls behind him, heading for my rooms. A myriad of emotions fly through me as we go - fear, of course, at this man's unpredictability and cruelness. But quickly chasing that comes anger, and rage, and the sheer determination not to follow the Prince's fate.

This jackass – he thinks he has everything figured out. And he might be in control of me for now, but I've got my own weapons up my sleeve.

As we approach my room, I begin to pull back on my wrist, determined to be free. "Let go of me, you idiot," I snarl, putting my weight back into my heels.

"Come on, mate," Gabriel bites out, glaring at me over his shoulder and tightening his grip on me. "I'm done with you now and putting you back in your cage.'

"Great man indeed," I say, my voice deep with doubt, "that needs to cage his mate."

"Only when she's a wild bitch," Gabriel snarls, hauling me forward. "Who needs to be schooled in the ways of proper femininity."

I snarl in turn and twist my wrist in the way that Blaze taught me, breaking Gabriel's grip and stepping back in the hall. When Gabriel roars and turns, reaching for me, I'm ready for him – my fingernails extended into claws that I rake first over his extended hand and then stepping close so that my second blow scrapes across the soft skin of his neck.

Not deep enough to kill - no, I'm not ready for that yet. But deep enough to let him know that I can.

"Properly feminine enough for you?" I coo, my eyes narrowed as I step back, watching his body language for sighs of how he'll strike next. "After all, cutting a man's throat does seem more of a woman's method of killing than an Alpha's."
