The Hidden Princess At All-Boys Alpha Academy



Things get heated fast between Luca and I as he pulls me back between the trees, moving quickly to the ground and taking me with him. I moan into Luca's mouth as he kisses me hard and fast, as his hand slips beneath Daphne's little jacket, finding the skin of my back as his other hand wraps around the back of my neck pulling me close.

I get more and more lost in him with every fervid kiss, my hands moving first through his hair and then fumbling at the buttons of his shirt as I pant against his lips, pressing myself closer to him. And as my fingers work at the top button of his shirt, and then the second, wanting to slide my palms against his body, I realize that Luca and I - we haven't done this in a long, long time.

That we just haven't had the time - that I've been wrapped up in Jackson, and also that midwinter and school have truly kept us apart.

But now that we have this moment here, in the woods? And I can taste him, feel again the way his mouth moves hot on mine?

God, but I want him. Very, very badly.

Luca groans, dropping his hand from my neck and pulling hastily at my skirt to find the bottom. When he finally finds his way through the folds of fabric, his hand sliding first up my calf and then up my thigh, the intensity of it makes me break away - makes my head fall back on my neck as his fingers skirt the edge of my panties, wrapping around them, wanting desperately to rip them off.

I lift my head back up, a little dizzy with the intensity of it, shifting my hips in his lap until I can feel the hard length of him pressed against me. Luca moans, and shudders, and presses a kiss to my neck. Then he opens his mouth and I can feel him press his canines, already extended, against the soft skin there. A hard shudder goes through me at that and my wolf howls, desperate and anxious at once, pressing at the edge of our bond.

I turn towards her, not understanding as she darts back and forth in my soul, a whine in her throat because - what? Why is she -

But then I frown, realizing that...

"Luca," I say, pulling back from him a little, my hand moving to cup his cheek, my thumb tracing over his bottom lip.noveldrama

He looks up at me, his eyes half lidded with his want. He doesn't say anything, just stares at me and then leans forward, wanting my mouth again on his. But I pull back and shake my head, my frown deepening. "Luca, where is your wolf?"

"What?" he asks, blinking back to himself and frowning at me in turn. "What are you talking about?"

I shift away from him, turning my head, trying to remember back, but...

Was there...ever a time? When our wolves connected, as Jackson's and mine do every night?

"The bond," I murmur, terribly confused and suddenly a little afraid, "my wolf is looking for yours - where...where is he?"

Luca starts and then just stares at me, the mood shifting in an instant. "What are you talking about?"

"Luca," I whisper, leaning forward, a

smile flickering on my mouth - thought it doesn't stay long as worry becomes my primary emotion. "My wolf just wants to connect with yours when we're...together. Why are you holding back?"

"Why do you want to do that?" he asks, looking at me like I'm crazy.

I go still, worry and a little shame rushing through me because...I don't know, because Luca's looking at me like I said something...dirty. “What are you talking about?" I whisper. "Why wouldn't I want that?

Luca shifts then, lifting me off of his lap and setting me next to him on the ground, even as he turns to face

me. "You want our wolves to like meet? Across the bond

"Well, yeah," I say, biting my lip, completely confused. "Why - I mean why haven't they? Are you...holding back?"

His face turns then, his mouth pressing into a stern like. “Why? Is that what you do with him?"

"What?" my eyes go wide with the accusation in his voice, the jealous fear.

"With Jackson," Luca snaps, his mouth turning down. "Do you guys like, connect across your souls, wolf-to-wolf or something?"
