The Hidden Princess At All-Boys Alpha Academy novel Chapter 793

“Of course I want to know get to know you, Midnight,” Jesse says, smiling at the girl, meaning it even if his heart and mind are still consumed with thoughts of Daphne and incredibly confused about what on earth is happening between the three of them. “My grandmother picked us for each other, after all. It makes sense that I’m interested.”

“Yes,” Midnight says, putting her plate down and her slapping hands on her thighs, leaning forward towards him. “Yes, first we can get to know each other, and then we will have the pups, and then –“

Jesse laughs, shaking his head at her as he holds a hand out, palm flat. “Midnight, you’ve got to drop the whole pups things. It’s not happening.”

She squeaks in dismay, sitting up rigidly, staring at him. “Why not!?”

“Why do you want pups so bad?” he asks, utterly confused.

“Because we’re supposed to,” she says, huffy, a bite of a whine in her voice. “It’s the whole point!”

“Who told you that?” Jesse asks, frowning at her.

“Darkness,” she says, pouting at him. “As many pups as we can get, and all dedicated to him. They will be so good at the shadow magic because they will get it from both of us!”

“Well, that’s a double no, then,” Jesse says, frowning at his little mate. “I’m not dedicating any pups to Darkness.”

“What is the point of this yurt!?” Midnight asks, casting her hands dramatically out to encompass the entire yurt. “If not to fill it with children!?”

“Really?” Jesse says, his face screwing up in confusion. “You see a yurt and your first instinct is…to put have infant in it? Or eighteen of them?”

Midnight narrows her eyes at Jesse before looking away to the door, anger and confusion all over her face. “I don’t know why you won’t love me,” she says, shaking her head. “They told me you would. That you had to.”

“Hey Midnight?” Jesse says, seeing that he’s honestly worried her. She gives a little grunt of confirmation, inviting him to go on, even if she doesn’t look at him. “Can we just…slow down?”

She turns back to him now.

“Look, we barely know each other,” he says quietly. “And neither of us really know what’s going on. Can we just…chill out? Put all the pup and the love talk on extreme hold? Just…spend some time getting to know one another on a much more basic level?”

A small smile comes to her lips and Jesse honestly thinks she’s a little relieved. “Okay,” Midnight says, nodding lightly. “Um, what do we do?”
