The Hidden Princess At All-Boys Alpha Academy

Chapter 0914

"Still not going to take my magic?" Midnight asks, standing in the door to her yurt with her hands on her hips, dressed in a fairly fantastic collection of clothes that she clearly picked for herself with enthusiasm from the insanely large selection my mom bought for her.

I smile, taking in the three scarves that Midnight has stacked over a sundress, which she wears over a pair of jeans that she's tucked into a pair of yellow rubber boots. A jaunty winter hat is pulled down over her curls, the fuzzy purple pompom on top wobbling back and forth whenever she moves.

"I promise," I say, giving her a little salute, an offering of cake in my hands as I stand before her with Jackson at my side. "Also, I love your outfit. You look great!"

"Thank you! You may enter," she says, quite dramatic and smiling, bowing us into

the yurt.

"Hey Mids," Jacks says, giving her a little hug and a kiss on the cheek. "Good to see you."

"Don't kiss me," she snaps, giving him a little shove away that doesn't budge him an inch. "Jesse is my mate. You can't seduce me away."

Jackson sputters out a protest but I just laugh and take his hand, tugging him along with me to settle on the floor amongst the guests already inside.

"Hi! Hi!" I say, laughing and putting the cake down before giving both Benny and Elias big hugs. Jesse waves from his spot stretched out on the floor. "Where is Pippa?" I ask, looking around for her. "Is she all right?"
