Chapter 47.

Scarlett's POV

I followed behind Alpha Harry, cursing under my breath. He closed the door immediately we walked into his office, and then he pinned me against the wall, choking my neck.

“Why are you testing me?” He growled, and his eyes darkened. I had to start hitting his hand so he'd realise that I was choking already.

Still, he didn't leave me, letting me wriggle under his sturdy arms. He finally left me, and I was all over the ground, wheezing and coughing. I was scratching my neck as my body demanded. I could feel tears pricking against the corners of my eyes, and all I wanted was to wriggle free from his oppression.

“You're so angry that you'll kill me because I don't want to fuck you?” I asked, shaking my head in disbelief. “Are you that deprived of love?”

“You wouldn't speak to me in that manner, else I'll make your life a living hell.” He growled at me.

“No, you wouldn't.” I responded, rubbing my neck gently.

“And I really hate being threatened.” I muttered. “You should stop it.”

“Why weren't you at my house last night?” He asked, folding his arms.

“Because I don't want to fuck you!” I snapped, and he tried slapping me. I was barely able to stop his hand from connecting with my cheeks into what would have been a very brutal slap.

He grabbed my neck again and pinned me against the wall. This time, he hurriedly turned me against the wall, sticking his body against mine. I could feel his hardened dick against my body. Maybe my insolence has been making him hard the whole time.

He grabbed my butt and moaned against my ears. None of the efforts I made to wriggle free were successful. I knew I had to do something quickly when his hands started roaming from my neck downwards. His hand was just above my boobs when I finally found words to say.

“If you forcefully have your way with me, everyone will know that you're an idiot that's Into high school kids.” I growled, and he stopped for a while, and was about to continue when I spoke again. “I'll release the video for the whole world to see.”

It worked like magic as he immediately stopped. He turned me and pushed my back against the wall.

“What is your problem exactly?!” He growled. “What video are you talking about?”

“When next you decide to fuck someone in the library, make sure people aren't there.” I said with a smirk, enjoying the shock on his face.

“You will delete that video now!” He snapped.

“No, I won't.” I responded. “And if you destroy my phone, you should know that it's with more than 5 people that wouldn't hesitate to post it on the school's website, send it to groups and just do everything to ruin your life.”

Alpha Harry fumed. He lowered his head to my neck, growling angrily like he'd rip me apart.

“What do you want?” He muttered.

“First of all, move away from me.” I growled, and he did as I asked, although very slowly.

“Now, don't even try to get in bed with me ever again.” I said. “I don't have a problem with you as long as you leave me alone.”

“Leave my office.” He growled.

“Don't talk to me with that tone.” I shot back at him, walking out of his office triumphantly.

Not many can boast of winning against Alpha Harry.

Zion was waiting at a corner close to Alpha Harry's office. He was holding what remained of my lunch before I was summoned.

“Has your butthole been expanded? Or has your secret leaked?” Zion asked, and I chuckled.

“None of the above.” I smirked, taking the tray from his hands.

“I'll see you tomorrow, because I have to sleep now. I'm leaving by Nightfall.” I whispered to him, and he nodded.

“See you later then.” We parted ways.

I could barely sleep after eating. My neck still hurt , and I couldn't stop thinking. Thane came in not long after I was just on the bed. He kissed me on the lips like he was greeting his wife, before moving to his side of the room.

“Are you fine?” He asked, removing his trouser before crashing onto the bed.

“Yeah.” I shrugged. “I'm very well.”

“Are you?” I asked.

“I just need to sleep.” He said, and I nodded.

All my thoughts were fixated on Franklin, and the one way to save him. If he was cursed, then it would make the job more straightforward but that all depends on him being a Vargr.

But what if he's cursed and also a Vargr? Maybe the first of his kind?

Night came, and I slipped out of the Academy as usual. It was too convenient this time as no guards were at their usual posts. I made my journey into the woods, passing by the place where I had almost died two nights ago.

When I got to the house, it was dark inside, like Franklin was watching a movie. I heaved a sigh of relief, happy that he was alive.

I was about ten feet close to the house when the door opened aggressively. Franklin was at the door, looking at me. I could see his face too well. A smile tugged at the corners of his lips, but he kept a straight face.

I took a step closer, and judging from his reaction, he looked sad, not angry. The closer I got, it looked like he was in pain.

“Did you miss me?” I asked, and he chuckled.

“I did.” He muttered. “Are you hurt in any way?”

I shook my head, walking towards him calmly.

I hugged him when I finally got close to him, wrapping my body around his very huge body. My hands couldn't even touch behind him.

He led me inside, and I sat on the couch beside him. I couldn't tell when the best time was to bring up a discussion about his family, and the possibility of him being under a curse.

“Can I call you Orion?” I asked gently. “I like the sound of it.”

“You can call me whatever you want.” Franklin whispered.

“Why do I feel like the name Orion has special meaning to you?” I asked, looking up at him.

“My mom was the only one that called me that.” Franklin muttered. “It was kinda exclusive to her.”

“Is it fine if I still use it?” I asked.

“You're as important as my mother.” Franklin said casually. “You're the only one more beautiful than she is.”

I blushed at his words. He speaks so casually like he's doing nothing, when he's doing everything. Maybe tonight is not the night to tell him about his father's mess.

“Orion, there's something I should tell you.” I said anyway, unable to keep it to myself.

“What's that?” Franklin asked.

“Your …”

“Shh.” Franklin said, putting a hand over my lips.

It was then I could heat what he was hearing. There were howls and growls all around the house.

“Damned foxes.” Franklin scoffed.

“Why are there so many?” I asked fearfully. Goosebumps were all over my skin, and the fear of dying crept up in me.

“I'm under attack, and it might take a while.” Franklin said casually.
