Franklin's POV I folded my arms outside, watching Zion leave on a powerbike. This moment made me grateful that I hadn't given in to my thoughts and snapped his neck. I still had other preventive measures to take. I walked back to the room, and I was at the door when I heard Scarlett sobbing.“I don't want him to die… and I don't want to die either.” She kept. “I just want this to be over already.”“You will survive, I swear on my life.” Michelle assured her. I took a quick walk round the house, thinking of what to do next. I prepared a plan just in case nothing worked out the way it was supposed to. I looked around, and I started panicking. My chest started heaving, and the thoughts of the possible things I'd do in the days to come hit me. I was losing my mind, and there was nothing that could save me. The world seemed to only get darker with no sign of light ever coming. I went over to Timber North's palace, and the lights still hadn't gone off. “And why are you here again?” He
Scarlett's POV I held Franklin close to my body after what seemed to be several endless rounds of sex. It was already night, and we had just two days till the full moon, but we were still on his bed.“So, what are we doing now?” I asked, and Franklin shrugged. “I have to speak with Timber North, and then figure out the next step.” Franklin muttered. I played with his hair, rolling them over my finger. “So, how about we get going now?” I asked, and he nodded.Franklin dressed me up, and I returned the favour. I dressed him in black since he seemed to like it more these days. I stood in front of the mirror, and he was behind me, holding me by my waist. “Promise me you won't hate me when things go south.” Franklin begged, looking at me through the mirror. I raised my head up and turned to him. I held his face, and lowered it just so he could look into my eyes. “I could never hate you.” I said, holding his face. “No matter what!” “I love you so much.” Franklin whispered. “I love
Michelle's POVWe stood outside after Franklin ordered us out. Honestly, it was a little scary, but I trusted Franklin way too much to doubt his pure intentions. For a while, we all stood out there, wondering what was going to happen inside. Jane had left because she was extremely tired. The witchcraft she performed must have taken its toll on her. I heard them kissing, and that was all I had to hear to leave. Thane immediately left also, and I turned to see Zion. He was staring at me in a way that annoyed me. I hissed at him, walking away.“Look Michelle, I'm sorry.” Zion begged, following behind me. “What's there to be sorry about?” I asked him without looking at his face because I feared that he'd get to me if I did. “Everything. I shouldn't have done any of the things I did.” He said, and I hissed. “What things exactly? Lying to me about your identity? Setting my best friend up for this moment that you're probably going to report to your Demon King again? Or lying that you lo
Franklin's POV I had heard everything Jane said, since I was listening around for Scarlett's voice. The thought of it struck so much fear in my heart that I lost every bit of excitement I had. Scarlett rose up and stretched her arms out. She was jogging towards me already. I hugged her as soon as she got close, taking a deep sniff of her body. I gently kissed her neck, but she was calm unlike her usual snakey reaction where she'd giggle and cackle. “I missed you so much.” She muttered, and I pulled her even closer. “Me too baby. I came as soon as I could.” I growled, walking into the room with her. I walked by Thane, and I held Scarlett sit on the bed. I stood behind her at the close edge of the bed, and I had one on my hands on her shoulder. She held my hand and caressed it from where she was. “Hi Michelle.” I smiled at her.“Hey Franklin.” she waved gently at me. “How did you know what we were talking about? Do you know something we don't?” “I was listening for Scarlett's hea
Scarlett's POV We now had three days till the full moon, and Franklin still hadn't arrived. I was always worried about him, thinking about him, and waiting for him to spring up on me. I had missed his touch, the touch of his skin, his soft kisses, every single thing about him. “You're in deep thoughts about Franklin again.” Michelle said, and I sighed. She walked in holding two plates of food. “I miss him.” I sighed, taking the plate she stretched towards me. She came immediately I texted her that I was pregnant. She came faster than lightning itself. We took a pregnancy test together, and it was actually real. I AM PREGNANT!“Well then, text him and tell him exactly what he should know.” Michelle rolled her eyes at me. “He also thought he'd come back that same day, until he realized that establishing a lady on the throne never works out the way you expect it to.” I sighed, and she shrugged. “Those misogynistic chiefs, and then the amount of paperwork that's required just to ens
Franklin's POV Jon clapped to summon courage and bravery, but no one seemed to be buying his act, not even himself. “So, what do you intend to do now?” I asked him, looking straight at James with every intention to kill him. He had obviously shit his pants and peed on his body. “Go and bring the Queen and the Princess.” Jon ordered.“If as much as a strand on their hair seems missing, everyone involved in hurting them will die.” I growled at the boys he sent. They ran out, and I started hitting my sword on the ground gently. “You know that you're not leaving this place alive today, do you?” He asked and I chuckled. “I am.” I laughed again. “And I'll leave after I've made an appropriate mess of you.” “But… but…” James stuttered, unable to find his words.“I should be dead, right?” I tried helping him complete his words. He swallowed hard, and I chuckled. I was definitely having more fun than I should be. “Allowing you birth was the biggest mistake I ever made, and if you think I
