The Hidden Princess At All-Boys Alpha Academy novel Chapter 132

Chapter 0232 

“Luca!” Rafe shouts, just as Jesse shouts Jackson’s name, both of them baffled. 

I shake my head at Jacks, begging him to understand as I keep moving forward, as I place myself between my mates. And the moment I step actually between them, holding out a hand, palm out, towards each, begging them to stop 

I realize that it was a mistake. 

I mean, I don’t know what else I could have done, but it was a mistake. 

Because in that moment, each of my mates sees that I’m not denying the other. Luca’s eyes flash to Jackson’s just as Jackson’s move to his. There’s a brief moment of silence before Jacks releases a horrible, desperate snarl. Luca roars in response before, in a flash, they both shift into their wolves. 

Ben realizes what is happening half a second before everyone else, and he’s the only one to move in time. My friend releases a shout, hurling himself up from the couch and leaping over the coffee table to tackle me to the floor jus 

as the two wolves crash into each other 

above us. 

And god, the sound they make – 

The crashing roars they release sound unending, so loud in our tight stone room that it feels my eardrums will shatter. Ben wraps an arm around me, pulling me away, back against the stone of the fireplace as I cover my ears with my hands, tears slipping down my cheeks. I try to look, but god, there’s blood- 

And as each of my mate’s emotions rage through me, I’m completely overwhelmed. I no longer have any idea which of my emotions are mine, and which are theirs scream, and scratch, and bite, and intercede, and stop them, and 

– I want to 

Somewhere, outside, I feel Ben wrap me up in a tight ball as more noise adds to the fury- 

And suddenly, somehow, the feelings change shock and confusion adding to the anger, and a sudde 

sense of shame, and restraint 

– 

– 

I open my eyes, my senses slowly coming back to me, and my face goes still when I see that there are four wolves in front of me now Jackson’s scruff in his mouth, not biting him but a warning growl rumbling deep in his 

Rafe’s huge dark wolf snarling as he holds chest. Jesse’s familiar brown wolf stands between Rafe, Jackson, and the fourth wolf, who is a lighter brown – almost blonde – panting and snarling his warning. But then Jesse shifts, 

his hands out between them. 

“This is done!” Jesse shouts, glaring viciously between Jackson and Luca. “Shift the fuck back! We are getting to the bottom of this, right now!” 

There’s a long pause as we all look around at each other before Jackson shakes himself, just a little, and Rafe loosens his grip on his neck. Luca shifts then, and my eyes go directly to him, groaning when I see his bloody lip, the swelling already starting around his eye. 

I move, wanting to be next to him instantly, to check on his wounds – but Ben tightens his hands on my arms. “You stay…right here…” he murmurs in my ear. “For just a little longer, okay?” 

Realizing that he’s right, I stop, though I can’t stop the whimper in my throat as Luca stares at me, appalled. 

There’s another flash to my right, and when I look I see Jackson getting slowly to his feet. He didn’t come out of it as badly as Luca did, but I see his hand move instantly to his jaw, rubbing it like he’s assessing the damage. 

Rafe shifts a moment later, turning to me in his rage. “Ariel!?” he says, glaring down at me. “Is there something that you want to explain here!?”
