Franklin's POV Scarlett touched my arm, but I hurriedly pulled away at her touch. I wasn't feeling like myself. I wanted to consume her. I wanted to be in her skin, and somehow, I knew that if I went on with what was happening, I'd probably wake up to her dead body by my side. Something was wrong with me, but I couldn't place my hand on it. “Orion…” she called my name softly, and I slowly turned to look at her. Her beauty appealed to me in every manner. Her long hair blew to the front of her face, and she was just too attractive. “I can't…” I softly said, opening my eyes. “Not tonight.”“You… you… don't… want me?” Scarlett asked, pinning her gaze to the floor. “Nonsense!” I hurriedly debunked it. “I want you so badly , it makes my head hurt.”“I just don't feel like myself.” I explained, and she nodded.She stretched her hands out for a hug, shrugging at me as if to tell me that it was the least I could do. I slowly shook my head, hoping she'd take it, but I couldn't stop myself
Scarlett's POV “You… you… you don't remember me?” I asked fearfully. “Of course I do.” Franklin smiled gently, taking a step closer to me. He smelled like fragrances, and I'm pretty sure he had his bath in several sweet smelling spices. “What's my name then?” I asked, just to be sure that he was playing with my emotions. “Scarlett.” He called my name so softly that I almost fell to the ground. “It worked, Orion, it worked.” I said, close to tears. I wasn't sure if I was about to cry because of his beauty, or because of the anticipation I had for this. “Can I hug you?” Franklin asked, being a gentleman. “Of course.” I said, rushing into his embrace almost immediately. He kissed my forehead and patted my back as we hugged. He was so tall that my head was on his chest, and it was just his heartbeat I could listen to . “I heard your voice all through the time I was in there.” Franklin said. “Probably that's what strengthened my determination to get out of there.” “Are you hungry?
Scarlett's POV It was the morning of the third day, and I was bored to death. The past two days have been horrible. I was always walking aimlessly around the house, cooking, or reading a book. And all those were times when Franklin wasn't growling, roaring or shouting. I hit the door several times, but it never opened. I tried calming him down from the outside several times, but I doubt that he could hear my voice. I tried reading books about demons, but I found none. The only ones there were, were fictional, and had no substance. Jon had come to the house several times, but the spell Valendor did was too strong. I literally watched Jon walk through the walls of the house, and even round it. The stare of confusion on his face was priceless. He came back two more times after the first encounter, and his reactions never changed. I could only imagine how mad he'd have gone. “Oh goodness.” I sighed, sitting in front of a mirror. “He comes out today.”I combed my hair gently, trying t
Thane's POV I was still very conflicted about what could be going on with Scarlett. I wasn't sure if she could actually be involved with a beast. It made no sense to me. If anyone could clarify this situation, it was definitely Michelle, so I sought her. She was with the princesses, and they hadn't gone so far away from the office. “Michelle.” I called, jogging over to her. She was holding Zion’s hand, and they seemed pretty close. She looked back and whispered some words to him. “Thane.” Michelle muttered.“Erm… thank you for earlier. You saved my ass, and I had a lot riding on that.” “It's okay.” She shrugged. “Scarlett asked me to cover your ass.” “Oh okay.” I muttered, rubbing the back of my head. “Speaking about Scarlett,”“What about her?” “Erm…. Do you by any chance know who she leaves to go see at night outside the Academy?” “Me.” “But she literally calls you all the time.” I said, noticing that several people were looking at me. I figured that it was because my roo
Scarlett's POV “What's going on?” Franklin asked with his hand wrapped around my back. He stared weirdly at the witch that was busy bowing down and worshipping. “My name is Valendor Morgana.” She said, and almost immediately, she shifted to an old, frail looking woman. I was taken aback, but Franklin just kept on looking. She was looking all young and fresh just minutes ago, and now she's old?“And who are you?” I asked.“The one that was made for this exact moment.” She said. “I've lived for more than two hundred years. I've prolonged my life by several sacrifices so that I'll fulfill my destiny.” “And your destiny has something to do with me?” Franklin asked, and she nodded gently. “My destiny is to shift you back to your human state.” Valendor said. “Do you perhaps know who I am?” Franklin asked.“You are the Prince.” She said. “And that's all I can say for now. The spirits would not allow me divulge more.” “I need water.” I muttered.“Shall we go inside?” Franklin asked. Va
Franklin's POV I sat the day out with Scarlett, till the witch would arrive at the Academy. Scarlett was always looking at me, and to hold every sexual intention I had, I had to keep my eyes off her. The love I had for her made me develop a certain amount of self control, but I wasn't sure that the self control would hold off for too long if I decided to stare at her. We watched a movie, and thankfully, she didn't sit too close to me. “Orion.” She called, now abandoning the name she once knew. I didn't complain since she made the name sound way better than it is. “Yeah?” I responded, glancing at her. “Look at me.” Scarlett commanded. I slowly turned my head to look at her. My heart was now thumping hard against my chest. Her eyes were extraordinarily beautiful, and the strands of her brunette hair laid lazily across her face made her even hotter. My eyes fell on her lips, and I wondered what they tasted like. I've always wondered what they taste like. She then pulled her hair
