The Hidden Princess At All-Boys Alpha Academy

Chapter 0945

"Thanks!" Midnight says, quite pleased, plopping down in front of me with a glass of orange soda. Jesse lays on his side next to both of us, quite calm and casual. "Miss Ella has been very nice and gives me whatever I ask for, and also brings me stuff up too. She brings me lots of clothes."

"Mom loves clothes," I say, nodding understandingly. "She'll fill the whole yurt if you let her."

"She says I can store them downstairs. But you," Mids says, pointing a finger at my face. "Are avoiding telling me a gossip. Where did Jackson get a pup?"

I scowl a bit, certainly caught in the act. "It's his daughter, Mids," I say with a shrug. "He only just found out she existed yesterday, which is...insane."

Midnight's eyes go wide. "So...so he made the pup?" she asks, leaning forward a bit breathless. "Doing...doing the sex?"

I work very, very hard not to laugh at this, not wanting to embarrass her. But I can't help the wide smile that spreads over my face. "Yup, that's how it happens."

"Oh man," Midnight says, sitting up straight. "That's so gross. But you are not the pup's mother? How does that work?"

“Our Jackson got around in his youth,” Jesse says, peering over at Mids, clearly entertained. "He's faithful to Ariel now - we presume -"

I snarl at my cousin, who shoots a grin at me before turning his eyes back to Mids.

"But before he met Ariel," Jesse continues, "he knew another girl. And they liked each other, so..." he shrugs, letting Midnight fill in the blank.
