The Hidden Princess At All-Boys Alpha Academy

Chapter 0901

"No way," Jackson breathes, shaking his head, his eyes moving down to Rafe's chest, where his wolf lives. "There's...there's no way -"

"Jacks," Rafe groans, leaning into his friend's hand a little bit. "Please, don't tell anyone, I'm so confused – I have no idea what's going on –“

"No way," Jackson whispers again, fascinated. "I mean, Rafe, are you sure? It - it's not possible -"

"Are you sure?" Rafe growls, snapping his eyes up to meet Jackson's. "If I tried to tell you that Ariel wasn't yours, what would you say?"

Jackson rankles at even the hypothetical. But still, he pushes. "She doesn't even have a wolf, Rafe. How can there...how can there be a bond?"

"I don't know," Rafe growls, closing his eyes and shaking his head. "But...my wolf is sure. And he's been flipping out — it's so fucking annoying - he's so excited every time she opens her mouth to say anything and he keeps urging me to do all this stupid stuff -"

"Yup," Jackson says, laughing a little and squeezing Rafe's shoulder. "That's... that's a mate, all right."

"You went through this?" Rafe asks, his eyes opening with a bit of hope.

"Oh my god," Jackson says, nodding eagerly. "The insane shit my wolf told me to do when we figured out it was Ariel, not Ari. He wanted me to rip off -" but Jackson cuts his words off abruptly, standing straighter, clearing his throat, remembering that this is Ariel's brother he's talking to. "It was intense, yes."

Rafe opens his mouth to ask another question but he's interrupted by a hysterical, disbelieving laugh from across the room. Both Rafe and Jackson spin their heads towards the closet, where there's suddenly a figure standing there, silhouetted against the light.

"You've got to be kidding here," Mark breathes, fascinated and delighted. "Are you — are you serious, Rafe!? Maryam is your mate!?"
