The Hidden Princess At All-Boys Alpha Academy novel Chapter 304

Well. I didn’t think about it either, did I?

I set my jaw, offended and guilty all at once.

“I’m sorry,” Bruce says, shaking his head as he sees my expression. “It’s just…I think it would be good for Luca, and helpful, if you really understood his situation, and his world. You need to help him make the right choices. He’s a good boy – and I can see he loves you. But he’s someone who lets his emotions run away with him. He needs a bit of guidance to make the right choices – and you can help with that.”

“I will help him,” I say, steady, meaning it. “In whatever way I can.”

“I hope we can count on you for that,” Bruce says, holding my gaze, giving me a steady nod.

Luca comes out of the house before I can respond, a plate of coffee cake wrapped in tinfoil in his hands, a big smile on his face. At the same moment, a car pulls around the corner, headlights flashing.

Luca smiles at his uncle, who nods and walks back to his corner of the porch, before coming to slip an arm around me, frowning at the car. “I was hoping for a moment for a quiet goodbye,” he says, sighing.

“That’s okay,” I say, smiling up at my mate and standing on my toes as I take the plate from his hand, begging silently for a kiss. Luca grins and then obliges me, kissing me softly and pulling me close for a moment as Conner’s car pulls to the front of the house.

“Thank you for coming,” he says. “This was amazing. Everything I wanted it to be.”

“It really was,” I say, honestly meaning it and unable to help my smile. “But you will get some sleep, yes? And tomorrow I’ll see you at the fight.”

“You’ll be there?” he asks, a little desperate, almost as if he’s worried that I won’t.
