Scarlett's POV

It was already evening, and I had been engrossed in the book all day. I only stopped for a while to speak with Michelle over the phone. I also ate during that time.

When it was time for the dinner and awards ceremony, I got dressed in a suit. Thane didn't come home the whole day, and I was a little worried about him.

At the ceremony, I saw him speaking with the registrar and Alpha Harry. I felt calmer. I sighted Zion walking towards me, and I smiled as he sat beside me.

“So, how's it going?” Zion asked, and I shrugged.

“I feel the intense urge to run out of the Academy to check up on Franklin.” I sighed. “He was badly hurt when I last left him.”

“Why do I sense a but coming?”

“But I'm scared of losing my life.” I said.

“As you should be.” Zion muttered.

“Because what if he decides to kill me? Or do something even worse to me?”

“I don't believe he'd do that.” Zion said, sounding very convinced.

“Well, have you started reading your book?” I asked, and he nodded at me.

“Yeah.” Zion muttered as the program started. “Should we read together after this?”

“Oh definitely!” I said, taking a deep breath.

I couldn't stop thinking about Franklin. So many events unfolded right before me, but my mind had travelled to be with Franklin. I could tell that he wasn't fine. The longer I stayed in here, the harder it was for me to keep myself together.

After about two hours, they were done awarding themselves. Franklin's evil father was smiling with everyone like his only son isn't rotting away in the woods.

We left the program, and we sat with each of our books at the top of the library. It made me remember how Franklin would jump to the top of his library, pick a book on the top shelf, and land without destroying the whole house.

I held the ladder steady for Zion to climb up with the popcorn we had bought from the theatres.

“So, happy reading, I guess?” I smiled at him, and he nodded.

I continued reading from where I stopped reading from, and I was barely concentrating on what I was reading.

It was already too late for me to venture into the woods, but I just couldn't stop my heart from pounding really fast.

We were still up on the top shelf when the doors opened.

“Who the fuck uses this space other than us?” I hissed softly, hoping we wouldn't get caught.

“It's definitely lecturers.” Zion whispered back.

The motion sensing lights switched on, and I was shocked when I saw Alpha Harry kissing another student. They were aggressively kissing.

I looked at Zion, who looked like he had seen the biggest ghost in the world.

I put my hand over my lips, and then I shook my head, hoping he'd make no sound.

I hurled out my phone and made a video of everything they did. Alpha Harry was very ready to have sex with the student.

“Did you lock the library?” Someone from outside asked loud enough to separate them from each other.

“I'll see you later.” Alpha Harry growled in a predatorial manner at the student.

They left the library, and Zion was still very shocked. I saved the video and sent it to Michelle just in case.

“He has been trying to get with me also.” I said, and his eyeballs widened.

“Does he know?” Zion asked, and I shook my head.

“I've been doing everything to avoid him, but now he's threatening me.” I sighed, relieved that I now have evidence against him.

“And now, you have something to return the threats?” Zion asked, and I nodded.

There was silence for a while as we both processed what we had seen. The student looked happy with the situation. He was smiling and moaning.

“That explains why he's always trying to get on your ass in class.” Zion said, and I chuckled.

I was going to call it a night since I wasn't getting anything from the book when my eyes caught a line. It was particularly spectacular because it started with Franklin's surname.

I read it more than five times just to be sure that I had read the correct thing, and it was exactly what I had thought it was.

My eyeballs widened at the thought of what it most definitely was.

“Okay, you've found something important.” Zion said. I could feel his eyes pressing against my forehead. “Spill.”

“I'll read this line from the book, and you'll interprete it, because I think my mind is the one playing pranks on me.” I asked, and he nodded.

“It says… Vargr- the Monarchs of the South, remain the only ones to have no looming curse over them. They have no beastly nature, unless cursed by a powerful witch, and also allowed by the person to be cursed.” I read, and it made my head hurt even reading it. “The blood of the Vargr is always predominant, and hereby breaking a beastly curse on anyone with Vargr blood might prove difficult.”

Zion looked at me with narrowed eyes. He was definitely trying to process what I had just read, but we were both having no luck.

He took the book from my hands, and also read it. He spent five minutes reading and re-reading, which made me sure that I wasn't the problem.

“So, this assures us of one thing.” I muttered, looking intently at the book. “Two things actually.”

“It's either Franklin isn't a Vargr, or he was cursed.” Zion said exactly what I was thinking of.

“But I think he was cursed.” I said, realizing how deep this would be.

“That would mean that the King had someone curse him, and he had to allow it.” Zion argued.

“He thought his mother would die because of him, of course he allowed it.” I shook my head.

“Shit!” I hissed. “Why would king Jon do that to him? That was his only son for fuck's sake.”

“There's more to this than we can currently see.” I said, letting the reality of what we had just discovered dawn on me.

“Holy damn!”

    Scarlett's POV I was troubled by what I had probably just discovered. Franklin could be an illegitimate child, or worse still, his father could be the one that cursed him. The only question was why? And which of my thoughts was right. I parted ways with Michelle, and when I walked into the room, my phone rang. I suddenly remembered how Alpha Harry had threatened to do some harm if I didn't show up at his lodge.It was Michelle calling. Thane wasn't in the room, and my best guess was that he was having an after party with the officials. Afterall, he organised all the events that happened for the whole four days. “Girl, I just watched the video you sent me.” She said, with her mouth still wide open. “He was already undressing.”“Just make sure you keep it safe for me.” I chuckled dryly, slumping into my bed. “I will.” Michelle said, rolling her eyes. “Your mom came by today again.” She muttered, and my eyeballs widened. “To do what?!” I asked, almost snapping at Michelle. “Beg me

  • Clawstone Academy: The Alpha or The Beast   Chapter 43

    Thane's POV After my short workout session, I hurried back to the room to have my bath. Scarlett was still sleeping peacefully at that time. I slipped into the bathroom, slipped out when I was done, and changed into fresh clothes. I went over my plan to swoon the King all over again. If there's a chance for me to rise above being just a regional Alpha, and seize more power than my parents think, maybe I'll have the freedom to do whatever I choose.I walked out of the room, and headed straight for the Registrar's office. “Come in.” He ordered before I could knock on his door. He was holding the morning's newspapers, which made me wonder who still uses them. “Good morning , Registrar.” I greeted. “Morning, Thane.” He responded , dropping the papers on the table. “Are you ready?”“I nodded, having released most of the tension in my body, “I am.” Registrar Thane stood up and led me out of the office to the King's quarters in the Academy. It was sparkling clean. I tried to maintain t

  • Clawstone Academy: The Alpha or The Beast   Chapter 42.

    Scarlett's POV I was feeling a lot of pain in my lower abdomen. Although it was getting better over time, it still hurt. My phone rang while I was still on the bed. It was already very bright, and Thane had left the room. Although Friday is a free day, he had to do something with King Jon. “Hi girl.” I moaned, still laying on the bed.“What's up with you? Why are you looking like you got bent over the whole night?” Michelle asked with a sassy tone.I raised an eyebrow, and nodded once.“Wait… ah… fucking… minute!” Michelle giggled. I squealed as she giggled. I then started laughing, rolling over my aching stomach. “You got some D?”“I did.” I giggled, rolling my eyes.“Wait…” Michelle frowned, “don't tell me it was some beast shit you did right there.” “No.” I said, taken aback. “It was Thane.”“Thane as in the disrespectful , handsome , and tall Thane?” She asked, and I nodded gently, still giggling. “Well, that's one hell of a catch.” Michelle said. “You just moved from ‘scared

  • Clawstone Academy: The Alpha or The Beast   Chapter 41

    Thane's POV I woke up almost an hour earlier than my usual time. It was still very dark. The time was just 4:32AM. In a very long time, that was the best sleep I had had, although it was very short. I never expected it to happen. I had spent the evening begging Rose to come over, but she wouldn't agree because it was a full moon and their security was always at its peak due to the invasion of several boys. I planned to jerk off for most of the night until it all happened. I managed not to move as Scarlett was in my arms. She had slept off almost immediately after we had sex. It was immediately after she had her bath. I stared at her face, feeling my chest pump really hard. I had had sex with several girls, and there's nothing that should make this feel like the best I've had, although it does. Everything about it was perfect. From the soft kisses, to the aggressive ones, to the slow pounding. It was all good. I most likely would have made the move if she hadn't. Slowly, her eye

    Scarlett's POV I finally composed myself, and I made my way to the theatre. I saw Zion immediately I walked in, and luckily, the seat beside him was free. I wriggled my way through till I finally sat beside him. “What… how…?” Zion asked, shaking his head. He folded his arms, and his eyes widened like he had just seen a ghost. “I almost died tonight, and so many things happened, but can we forget that right now?” I asked, and he nodded slowly, looking at me with surprise.“Just one question, though.” Zion asked, and I looked at him. “Is our royal beast alright?”I sighed, shaking my head, “I'm not sure.” We watched the movie in silence. It was unexpectedly funny. The arts department then had the stage to themselves, but all through that time, I was more focused on the king. Then, out of nowhere, people started leaving one by one.“What's going on?” I asked Zion.“It's a full moon.” He shrugged. “They're either going for a r
