The Hidden Princess At All-Boys Alpha Academy novel Chapter 890

The Alpha nods, grabs two, and hands them to the girl before beginning to unwrap the meat and eat it at a rather incredible pace. The clerk just…watches. Fascinated.

“Oh, hey!” the Princess says into the phone after a few moments, balancing it against her shoulder as she unwraps a candy bar with both hands. A huge smile breaks out on her face. “Hey, dad! It’s me!”

The clerk’s eyes go wide. Is…is the King seriously on the phone right now!?

“Yeah, I’m fine! I’m perfectly fine, can’t wait to get home!” the Princess says, her eyes watering with tears even as she laughs in delight. “I’m with Jacks. We’re…um, actually…wait one second.”

Then, still smiling, the girl takes the receiver in one hand and offers it out to the clerk, giving him again that pretty, obliging smile. “Do you mind telling my dad where we are so he can come and get us? It would be a big help.”

Slowly, the clerk reaches out to take the phone and raise it to his ear. “Your…your highness?”

“Now,” the voice growls on the other end of the line, making the clerk jump nearly out of his boots. “Tell me where my daughter is. Right. Now.”

I squeal with joy as the door to the helicopter finally, finally unlocks and I can throw it open.

“Ari,” Jackson growls behind me, frustrated as I stumble out of the aircraft. “Please be careful –“

But I ignore him, regaining my feet and dashing across the rooftop, hurling myself into my dad’s waiting arms. I laugh, delighted, as my dad wraps me up tight, pressing my cheek to his chest, barely noticing the tears that streak down my face.

My dad groans in relief, like he hasn’t even let himself even consider relaxing for a moment until I was here again, safe and happy, under his protection.
