Scarlett's POVFranklin's gaze didn't stray from mine , and neither did mine stray from his. It was like we were both searching for answers in each other's eyes. I swallowed hard, taking in the knowledge that I had two mates. One is a jerk, and one is a beast. Who could be so unlucky in the world to have such a terrible combination? I could tell that he was thinking about something, but I couldn't say what exactly he was thinking about. I coughed, and he shifted back, giving me space since it was clearly needed. It was not until then that I realized that I was barely breathing the whole time. I held my throat close and tried to calm myself down, but nothing worked. I was, in a way, stuck with him.“You can reject me.” Franklin said with a sincere and calm tone, although it still reverberated through the room and shook me. “No hard feelings.” He shrugged, raising the table he had overturned. “And what will become of me?” I asked, and he shrugged again. “Maybe I'll finally do what y

Scarlett’s POVZion and I ran, although we didn't hear Franklin coming for us. The howls and roars had died down by the time we got very far away from the house. I made sure to mark my path by clawing several trees around. It was pretty dark, and the moon was our only source of light. It was doing a very good job, considering that it was just a quarter moon. “What was that?” Zion asked, breathing really fast. He bent over, supporting his weight by holding his knee . “Erm… a mountain lion, I guess.” I said, also breathing hard as I marked the last tree. “That's one hell of a big mountain lion then,” Zion said, breathing slowly now, and recovering slowly, “because that sound doesn't come from anything ordinary.”“I've spent two days in this forest, and I know that there's nothing ordinary about this place.” I sighed, leaving the tree since I was done marking it. It was the only one I properly marked. I only slashed the barks of the others.“Why have you been marking the trees?” Zion

Thane's POV It all felt weird. For the first time in a very long time, I was angry at myself about how badly I treated someone, so much that it made me sad. I stared at Seth for a while before I slept off, wondering about the things he must have gone through over the two nights he had spent in what was supposedly an evil forest. What concerned me the most was how he managed to come back alive and unscathed when others never came back. By the time I woke up, he was still asleep. I had several messages from Rose. I had cancelled out of the blue last night. I sent apology messages to her. I went through my normal morning routine of going to the gym for workouts, and when I was done with that, I had my bath and began my day properly.“I checked the previous paper you turned in, and it was superb.” Mr Harry nodded with a straight face. I tried hiding the smile that lurked beneath my face, but I wasn't doing a good job. Mr Harry raised a brow and scoffed. “Thank you, sir.” I responded,

Scarlett's POV “I have AIDS.” I said, and he pushed back immediately.“What?” He snapped, composing himself. I was just really happy that he was off me. “I slept around a little too much, and now , I have AIDS.” I said nonchalantly. He looked flustered. His left had held his waist, while his other hand was on his chin. He was shaking his head.“Damn!” He exclaimed with a sad expression. “I was really ready to be freaked out.”I almost burst into laughter as he spoke. That was very unexpected.“When I get a solution to this, I'll revisit the idea.” I responded, and he nodded. “Anyways, you're going with us to Thornclaw Academy.” He stated, walking back to his seat. I could see his election that was definitely calming already. He had a very long wood.“Huh?!” I exclaimed. “Thornclaw?”“Yeah. An academy in the Northern kingdom.” He said, falling back into his seat.“Why?”“A competition.”“Isn't that for brilliant ones?” “Funny how you think I'm taking you for your brilliance.” He s

Thane's POVI headed out a few minutes after Seth left. I didn't do anything in particular. Rose had called my phone several times, and I took that time to speak with her. “Why haven't you picked your calls for how long?” Rose asked. I had barely spoken a word when she added several allegations to the lIst of the ‘evil’ things I had done to her. “You cancelled the other night without a word, and you didn't even care to explain why.” She growled. “I called to apologize, but you wouldn't even listen to me.” I sighed. “So, what do you want now?” She asked, and I could see the usual eye roll she'd do after asking that question. “You want me to come over, risk my entire life for you, and then toss me aside like a piece of scum?”“I love you, Rose.” I said. That seemed to calm her down everytime. “You know I do, and there's no way I'd ignore you if there's no tangible reason.”She went silent, and I knew that it was working. “Alpha Harry had been on my ass, and I've also been having t
