The Hidden Princess At All-Boys Alpha Academy novel Chapter 462

The woman raises her chin at me and jerks it towards the door, placing her hands solidly on her hips. “Let’s go, kiddo.”

“Excuse me,” Rafe says, his shoulders lowered in aggression as he slowly gets to his feet. “Would you like to explain who the hell you are?”

“Oh,” the woman says, giving a slow and pleased smile as her eyes move to Rafe. “I wasn’t aware that crown princes responded to the moniker ‘kiddo.’” Her smile deepens as Rafe rankles. “But unfortunately, I wasn’t talking to you.”

She moves her eyes back to me as I just…stare at her.

“Up,” she says, her foot lashing out and giving my chair a kick. “Time for your lessons, Clark.”

“But,” I say, fumbling for my schedule. “I’ve got…espionage scheduled? Until chemistry this afternoon?”

“Yah,” she says, her face spreading into a bright grin. “That’s what I’m here for.”

“But –“

“Enough questions,” she sighs, reaching out and wrapping a hand around my upper arm, giving me a tug that pulls me stumbling to my feet. But the moment she touches me the room splits with the sound of four vicious Alpha snarls. The woman goes quite still and just stares around at the table.

I do too, a little shocked to see Rafe, Jesse, Luca, and Jackson on their feet, each of their teeth bared. Ben just stays in his seat, staring around at the group, shocked.

“Well well,” the woman says, breathy and confident even if she remains perfectly still. “Don’t you have your boys trained up well.”

“Hands. Off.” Rafe snaps, moving around the table to glare at the woman.

She releases my arm, holding her hands up where he can see them, laughing a little and shocking me by seeming almost delighted. “Yes sir, big scary Alpha,” she says, looking up at my brother through her lashes. “Although I’m kind of tempted to see what would happen if I didn’t. Seems like you and I could have a great deal of fun.”

“Who the hell are you?” Rafe snarls, ignoring her taunts and looming over her, clearly attempting to use his sheer physical size to scare her. A glance at the table shows that Jackson has his eyes on me, his gripping his chair so hard I’m afraid he’ll snap it. Luca leans hard on his palms, so tense he looks almost ready to leap across the table.

She laughs, grinning at me. “I suppose he can.” She looks down at Rafe, turning her head consideringly. “I’m Cadet Clark’s teacher, you overprotective ass. Now are you going to attack me if I let you go?”

“No,” Rafe snarls through his teeth, though I can see that he hates that he’s been bested.

“Good!” the woman says, standing straight and slipping her knife back to wherever she took it from, again moving so fast that I don’t see it. Then she takes a step towards me as Rafe gets to his own feet, holding the paper out to me.

I raise an eyebrow at her. “Am I allowed to take this?”

She smirks. “As long as you don’t get snatchy.” Her voice is light, playful and I admit…I can’t help but be impressed.

I narrow my eyes a little and then take the paper from her. I quickly skim it and see that it is indeed paperwork hiring her for the professional tutoring of one student – Cadet Ari Clark – and signed by Professor Neumann.
