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 to tell you to come back home.” I scoffed, shaking my head and hissing. “She legit stood in front of me, and still couldn't recognize me.” “Mother of the year.” I rolled my eyes. “She came with Matthew.” Michelle added and my skin crawled with disgust. “Eww.” I hissed. “Anyways, I didn't tell them anything.” Michelle said, and I nodded. If she had told them anything, I'd definitely be on an airplane to the North. “Can't wait to spend the whole of next week with you.” I said, giggling and chuckling. “Oh, the combined Academy shit?” Michelle rolled her eyes, almost sounding nonchalant. “Are you getting some already?” I asked, seeing that as the only reason she could be so unbothered about it. “Yeah.” She winked at me. “I snuck a guy in.” “No way!!” I gasped. Michelle can really do anything she wants. She told me all about it, and I just kept smiling all through. “Anyways, you'll get to see me, and that's good news enough.” “Haven't you heard?” “What?” “The combined sports fest isn't next week anymore. They've added a week to it.” Michelle said. “And why would they do that?” I asked. “Something about the King and Queen coming to celebrate the death of the late prince Orion.” She said, and I realized I hadn't told her so much about Franklin being a royal. “I have to go now.” I said, and she nodded. “Say hi to your pretty casual boy for me.” She said, and I nodded. I didn't want to speak about it because walls definitely have ears, so I sent her a long text about everything. I sat upright on the bed with the new information I had just received. Is the Queen in on this also? Does she know that her son is wasting away as a beast in the woods? I was still deep in these thoughts when Thane walked in. He locked the door, and stayed glued to the door. I was immediately overtaken by new thoughts. He was smiling really hard like he had gotten the best news of his life, and it was reeking all over him. “Care to share the good news?” I asked, and he chuckled. “The King has invited me to the Palace for the next banquet in three weeks, which is immediately after the combined sports fest.” Thane said, still standing by the door. I wasn't sure if that was a good thing, given my suspicion of the King. “And what is that for?” I asked, speaking calmly to avoid sounding like I wasn't happy for him. “I don't want to jinx it by thinking too much.” Thane said, and I nodded. “And he's leaving tomorrow morning…” I stood up from the bed impulsively. “How have you been?” Thane asked, noticing that I wasn't interested in speaking about the King. “Fine.” I smiled. “Just got off a call with Michelle. She says hi by the way.” I said, walking towards him gently. “Are you probably in for some drilling tonight?” Thane asked, whispering, and I immediately got wet. I bit my lower lips, staring into his eyes. “I've been thinking too much about it.” I said, licking my lower lips to seduce him. It looked like it was working because he was already salivating. As soon as I got to him, he grabbed my waist and pulled me closer. I dipped one of my hands into his trousers and held his already hard cock. “Fu…ck.” He moaned against my ears. He held my neck and turned me against the wall. Our lips collided in a brutal kiss, and our tongues rolled over each other. I removed my hand from his trousers and started unbuttoning his shirt. When it was gone, he ripped apart the tube I wore to cover my boobs, and almost immediately, my pants were gone also. Thane's mouth enveloped mine , and he carried me up, making me wrap my legs around his waist. “The things I intend to do to you…” Thane growled as his pants dropped. He slowly pressed himself inside of me. I bit his neck this time, slowly taking in all of him. “Shiiiit.” I moaned, hitting my back against the wall. **** By the time I woke up, Thane was no longer in the room. He had probably headed out with the King as one of his delegates. I rolled over the bed, feeling sore in between my legs. Now that the King is gone, security should be lessened, and I should be able to see Franklin. Telling him about his family's history might not be the best at the time. Being a Saturday, I couldn't leave until night. I finished the whole book, but there wasn't anything more spectacular than what I had already seen. I was having lunch with Zion in the cafeteria over Seth's money. I could finally have buffalo wings without having to bother Michelle. “You should really take it easy on the wings.” Zion scoffed. I ignored him, gulping down another bottle of malt. I was about to start talking about Franklin when Zion was looking behind me. It was as if someone was standing behind me. Almost immediately, I could feel someone hovering. I turned back hurriedly to see Alpha Harry. “Follow me now.” He ordered. Let's get this over with already.Franklin's POV I barely held on to my consciousness after stabbing myself with a sharp stick. I wasn't sure what happened after. The next morning, I checked every part of the forest just to be sure I didn't kill Scarlett. When I was done searching, I lurked close to the Academy, but she didn't show up. Not once did I see her all through the hours I spent there. I eventually gave up, and made my way back to the house. Why did I even think she'd understand anything about me in the first place? Why would she come back after all I had put her through? I could have killed her. “Why didn't she listen to me?!?” I blurted out my thoughts. “If she had just left the numerous times I begged her to, we definitely wouldn't be having this problem.” I hissed, kicking a whole tree to the ground. I looked down at the roots, and it only fell easily because it had been hurt before. I kept pacing round the room, and no matter the amount of things I tried, I couldn't get Scarlett off my mind. She w

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
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
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
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
