Semua Bab Clawstone Academy: The Alpha or The Beast: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Scarlett's POVMy body was still pinned against the wall. I hated Thane with my whole existence, yet my body burned with… desire? He had figured me out before I could even play any of my cards. I should probably tell him about myself before he decides to take it to anyone else.And about Alpha Harry? He could barely even touch me before Thane knocked on the door. I shook my head, taking a very deep breath before walking towards Registrar John's office, and midway, I turned back.“What's the essence?” I asked myself. It wouldn't stop Thane from pursuing me, especially now that he has evidence. I went back to the room, took the three books, and then I went straight to the library. I texted Zion to meet me up there. It was an event filled week because the King was in the Academy, so the library was literally empty. We could talk freely. “So, Thane knows I'm not Seth, and he has evidence.” I said, and Zion’s eyeballs widened. “Does he know that you're a lady?” Zion asked.“I mean, he

Franklin's POVI watched Scarlett sleep. I've had a lot on my mind, but it seemed like she had her fair share too. We had watched a movie, and she slept off while we watched the movie. I paced round the room, unable to properly articulate my thoughts. I was disturbed. I was greatly disturbed, and it's always around this time of the year. Scarlett was intent on saving me, and she called me ‘Smith’. How long till she finds out who I really am? How long till she finds out my genealogy?I carried her to her room, gently placed her on the bed, and then I headed out for the night. Inability to sleep, and this body has been my curse and burden for more than 4 years. I wondered how Scarlett could come close to me. I wondered how she was comfortable around me. I've seen myself in a mirror, and nothing looks desirable about me. I stayed on top of a tree, waiting and waiting patiently, just to see if he'd show up. He hadn't shown up for the last three years, and somehow, I expect him to show

Thane's POV The games lasted a very long time, and I could tell that the king was having fun just from the way he watched. He'd stand up and clap every now and then, and he'd even act like he was just one of us. Everyone dispersed after his good night speech, and his very numerous guards followed him around. John waited behind to speak with me. “You've done very well.” He said, patting my shoulder.“Thank you.” I responded, feeling very tired. “What else do you have planned for the remaining two days? The king has told me that he wouldn't be around on Saturday.” He said, and I nodded.“Well, the dinner and awards night is on Friday so the King can present the awards, and for tomorrow, we have the movie night, and the theatre class has something also.” I said, and he nodded his head whilst smiling. “You have made me very proud. I'll find ways to make sure you have another conversation with the King, but this time use it very well.” He warned.“What do you mean?” “The King is in n

Scarlett's POVI didn't know how to feel, whether hurt, angry, betrayed or stupid, but I felt all emotions at the same time. I wanted to storm out of the Academy immediately, but for some reason I don't know, security had tightened.“Why would he lie to me?” I growled breathlessly. “He's a beast, Scarlett.” Zion said calmly. “And if he actually knows who he is , and why he's in that state, he definitely has a very good reason for not telling you.” “That doesn't mean anything now.” I snapped. “He shouldn't have lied to me!”I wondered how I even missed that page of the book in the first instance. I could have avoided all these drama and still gotten more honest reports. “He probably didn't know how to tell you, Scarlett, you have to calm down.” Zion said.“Why the fuck are you even defending someone you don't know?” I snapped.“Because I know what it feels like to be trapped, and to not seek help from the people you love for very valid reasons.” Zion shot back at me.“I'm still very

Scarlett's POVI was barely out of the house when I heard Franklin break the chains that held him down so tightly. I immediately knew that I was finished. I should have just listened to him from the onset. I ran into the woods where he knew best, and I heard the doors fling wide open. I heard him roar rather than howl. There was only one way to survive this, and it was in my wolf. Rather than shifting, I just kept running. I couldn't bear losing my phone, or having to shift in front of the guards if I get to safety. IF!My legs burned with pain, but I couldn’t stop. The sound of Franklin’s roar echoed behind me, shaking the trees around me. I tripped on a root but caught myself just in time.Run, Scarlett. Just run.Branches whipped my face, and the darkness around me felt like it was closing in. The full moon was the only thing that lit the path only slightly, and even that didn’t feel comforting anymore. I could hear him crashing through the forest behind me, fast and wild.At one
