The Hidden Princess At All-Boys Alpha Academy novel Chapter 855

I do my very best to imitate my mother in this moment, trying to fall into that deep mediative state she uses when she heals people. Because I have to go into my soul now, and into Gabriel’s, to try and help him. Ben – he’s handling the physical healing of Gabriel’s body.

But I’m here to concentrate on my new mate’s soul, and his wolf.

When my inner eyes open, I see that I am indeed in the world of my soul, my body appearing there next to my wolf’s in a way that it never has before, except perhaps in dreams. “Oh, hello,” I say, laughing as she bounds over to me and gives my face a few happy licks. I run my hands quickly through her soft, pretty fur – something that I’ve only done in pieces before, rushing a hand over it or grabbing it with my fingers.

Yes, here in my whole body for the first time, it’s different.

A little whine makes me turn, and I laugh when I see Jackson’s gigantic dark wolf standing there too.

“Oh, you’re here!?”

He huffs and steps forward, his head lowered towards me, as if to say where the hell else would he be. I laugh and scratch his head too, smiling when he turns his face into my palm in the same wolfish way that Jackson does in the real world. He gives my hand a playful nip before bounding off after my wolf, heading towards the edge of my soul where she stands, her paws shifting anxiously, looking over the edge.

I follow them there and peer across the little soul bridge towards Gabriel’s soul, seeing his wolf still there sunk into that pit of oil and tar, just his nose and his eye above the line of it like a crocodile. That is, if a crocodile also had pointy tufted ears that stuck out a little bit too.

My wolf whines and looks up at me, desperately wanting to help.

“I know,” I murmur, reaching over and patting her head. “I want to help him too.”

I take a deep breath and step forward onto that bond, the bridge between our souls.
