The Hidden Princess At All-Boys Alpha Academy novel Chapter 992

“Ut-oh,” Jesse says, turning to grin at me. “Looks like the secrets out.”

“You could look less cheerful about it,” I say, glaring at him even as I climb out of bed and move towards the door as Jackson pulls on his shirt. “It’s not your education at stake, after all.”

“Nooo, don’t forbid me my glee,” Jesse says, laughing a little as he, too, makes himself more presentable and stands up. I grin at him, knowing that he’s just teasing – that he’ll back me up no matter what.

I reach for the door handle as a second angry knock comes, but I don’t let it rattle me, instead glancing over at Midnight and Marigold. Pleased to see that they’re undisturbed and continuing their breakfast order, I take a deep breath and pull open the door.

The Captain glares down at me, livid.

“Oh hey, Captain!” I say, giving him my best Princess smile and tucking my hands innocently behind my back. “It’s so nice to see you again – how’ve you been!?”

“Sinclair,” he growls, taking an angry step forward to loom over me. He opens his mouth to begin what I’m sure is a long and fervid lecture about not letting girls into the castle.

But then he suddenly goes very still, staring at me, his eyes going wide as his mouth falls open.

And I just grin, knowing that he probably just caught a whiff of my scent.

I hear and feel Jackson coming to stand behind me, steady and strong, my Alpha ready to protect me and our two little baby girls against anything the Captain might say or do.

“Captain,” Jackson says, his voice rumbling low with warning. “Good morning. Would you like to come in?”

“Hi!” Jesse calls, a little too cheerful.

I suppress a grin and step back from the door, waving a hand to invite the Captain further in.

He doesn’t move, just continues to stare at me. “You’re…you’re…”

“Knocked up!” Jesse supplies, gleeful.

“Jess!” I sigh, turning to glare at him a bit.

“I mean, it’s true,” my cousin says with a shrug, grinning at me.
