Scarlett's POV I successfully witnessed a power tussle between a King and an hybrid. I couldn't let Franklin drop his whole future because of me. I'd not be able to live with myself. He seemed intent on making it work, but I was sure that I'd change his mind one way or another. I would kill a thousand people just to see the distressed and disappointed look on Arya's and Matthew's faces. Arya was just terrified and sad at the same. Matthew looked like he had just escaped a near death situation that left him very injured. The silence that came with it was satisfying. I might have probably just disowned my parents without care. We had just had sex again. We couldn't get our hands off each other after I told him I loved him. His fingers played lazily on my chest, and I held his head. “Why did Jon back out from the fight?” Franklin asked, raising his head to look at me from where the middle of my boobs. “You were absolutely magnificent.” I muttered, and he shrugged.“How?” Franklin as
Thane's POV I had gotten very competitive at the sight of Prince Franklin, Scarlett's supposed boyfriend, and definitely the beast that showed up at the Academy. I did not like him one bit, but I could understand why Scarlett liked being with him. He had the face and definitely power. “You are a disgrace to this family!” Joe growled, slapping me on my right cheek. I was reminded about my current woes, and I was reminded of the danger I was facing. “We were embarrassed and humiliated because you failed to do your fucking job!” Jane snapped at me, shouting in my face. I sighed, knowing that nothing I could say would make them feel otherwise, or even leave me alone. “We sat at that table, watching you almost get it, and it was ruined!” Joe growled, tightening his fist. I was already preparing my mind for another punch. “Why didn't you do your due diligence?!” Jane asked. “Why didn't you check to see if there were any loopholes?”“Answer her!” Joe growled. Answering was a problem,
Franklin's POVI was very pissed. There's no way any of them really thought that I'd let them take Scarlett from me, voluntarily or involuntarily. I had always wanted to smash Jon's head, and with the movements he made, I might get to do it earlier than planned. “Who do I think I am to challenge you?!” I scoffed, shaking my head gently. “Yes! Who the fuck do you think you are ?! Apart from the animal I made you?!” Jon shouted at me, stamping his feet on the ground. “I am Orion!!” I screamed, and the ground shook. I heard the echo of the sound that emanated from me, and I couldn't call it my voice. It echoed from a realm far beyond reality. It struck the material of the walls, making them lose power as I spoke. “I am the Last of the White wolves! The hybrid of the demon wolves and royalty!” I growled. “I am fire, and I am wind! Don't you dare ask me who the fuck I am!!” I was losing control, and I wasn’t sure what was keeping me normal, probably Scarlett's strong scent. “Why not
Scarlett's POV Franklin and Thane were still at a stand off. It was like they were accessing each other. Michelle stood beside me as Arya and Matthew now came into view. My heart thumped consistently, and I couldn't bring myself to make a move. There was no use running now. I definitely can't outrun soldiers from the royal army. “Girl, what would we do now?” Michelle asked, and I shrugged. “Scarlett.” Arya said, looking like she was almost bothered about me. She even opened her arms and walked towards me to hug me. “Don't.” I snapped when she was just a few feet away from me. She took the cue, and stood away from me. “Hi Scarlett.” Matthew greeted. I could tell that he couldn't wait to shove whatever he was holding down my throat. “I'm here with a royal decree to…” “There's no decree.” Franklin said, and everything got silent. “And who are you to say so?” Matthew asked. He didn't see Franklin the previous night, which made it more enjoyable to watch. Franklin didn't respond.
Scarlett's POV Morning came faster than I expected. I barely had the time to roll over Michelle's bed when I realized that I had to leave. I sprung up like I knew that the end was drawing closer. “Oh now, you're worried?” Michelle jested. She was awake already. “Good morning.” I muttered, still feeling very sleepy. “Morning love.” Michelle muttered, dropping her phone. I saw a picture of Zion on her phone, and that was all the confirmation I needed that they were locked in. “So, have you made a decision?” Michelle asked.“The most important thing right now is for me to get to Franklin's room.” I muttered, and she nodded.“I'll take you to his wing, but you'll have better luck finding his room.” Michelle said. I hurriedly washed my face and used a mouthwash. My morning breath was horrible this time. I spat it out on our way out of Paenyrah’s wing.It was just a little but after dawn, so it was very bright. Michelle left immediately I got to the wing.“I'll come by later to see yo
Scarlett's POV I swallowed down hard as we waited for the guards to pass through. I could feel Thane's wood pressing into my body already, and I couldn't blame him. We stood too close, and with our history, I could imagine. Thane didn't make the first move out when we stopped hearing the movement of the guards. I had to force my way out, and he gently followed after. “Sorry about that.” He chuckled weirdly. I looked at everything but him.“Yeah.” I responded with the same weird chuckle. “So, do you care to tell me what's going on?” Thane asked, looking sad and in deep need for answers. “How about we go answer for answer?” I asked, and he nodded. “That works for me.” “So, how did this happen with the King?” I asked.“We were given an assignment, and I had the top score.” Thane sighed, looking straight at me. “Then, he started talking about making me his son, and boom, here we are.” “Damn, that's crazy.” I sighed.“Where are you headed?” “To see Michelle, but I don't know where
