The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn

The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn Chapter 56

~ATTICUS~

My blood was boiling, and my heart was pounding against my chest. I wasn’t sure what the hell I’d just witnessed, but it was f*****g crazy. Autumn wasn’t a typical werewolf. I’ve never seen power that intense before.

She’d commanded Anya to hurt herself. There weren’t many people I knew that could do something like that.

Why did she do it?

Anya apologized to her. She made it clear that it was a mistake; she told her that she didn’t intentionally throw her into the pool. Then why did she react that way? But more importantly, who the hell was Autumn Rivera?

How was she capable of doing something like that?

Anya clings to me in fear, “did you see that, Atticus?” She cries. “Autumn tried to kill me. To kill me! I accidentally pushed her into the pool, but she purposefully tried to end my life. She’s a monster! She isn’t normal!”

I held her tight against me. It terrified me of what I’d just witnessed. I was terrified when I thought that I wouldn’t be able to save Anya’s life.

I wasn’t sure what had caused Autumn to stop, but I was glad she’d done it. Anya wouldn’t have been alive if I didn’t get her to finally listen to me.

That wasn’t the only thing that had terrified me, however.

Something else would be the reason why I couldn’t f*****g sleep tonight.

It bothered me that it scared me more when I saw Autumn drowning in the pool than when I thought Anya would die.

I couldn’t sleep last night because of the things I wanted to do to her. To kiss her, hold her, keep her close to me, and much more f*****g things that were inappropriate considering I was dating Anya.

f**k, none of those things were appropriate as long as Anya was still the woman in my life.

My heart was still racing wildly, primarily because of Autumn.

Why?

What the hell was wrong with me? I should be pissed with Autumn for what she’s just done. Instead, I couldn’t find it in my heart to be angry with her. I was startled and upset with myself but not her. My feelings were a cause for concern. What was going on in my head? And my heart? I felt like they were at war with each other. Neither knew what my body wanted.

“What happened to her?” Clarissa demands when she sees Anya shaking in my arms.

“Autumn tried to kill me!” She hissed.

Clarissa’s eyes widen, but she isn’t surprised by Anya’s words. I expected her to say something in return, but she did nothing. Instead, she’s suddenly panicking. I can see the fear increase in her eyes. It seems like Clarissa knows something that she isn’t telling the rest of us. Maybe Autumn explained to her that she wasn’t just a werewolf because I’d never seen a pure-blooded werewolf that could do something like that.

“Where is she?” She demands as she looks behind us for her.
