The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn Chapter 70

~AUTUMN~

“What was that?” I demand as I hear an explosion. I try to look back, but they grab my neck and keep my head facing forward.

“It’s nothing for you to worry about.” They assure me.

My heart is racing, and I know I can’t trust them. Atticus warned me that they couldn’t be trusted.

“If you’re thinking that we broke our end of the promise, you’re mistaken.” Owen, the eldest overlord, said. I’d just learned his name after hearing the others call him that. “We did not hurt any of your loved ones. At least not yet; if you try anything stupid, that will change quickly.”

I swallow and settle back into my seat without saying another word.

“Where are you taking me?” I ask after a few minutes have passed.

“Back home. Where we live.” Alistair answers before Owen can. They were a lot more relaxed now that they had me. It was another side to them than what I just saw.

“Why are you taking me there?” I demand. “Don’t you want to kill me?”

“Don’t tempt me to do it right now,” Jagger warns.

I bite my lips to force myself to remain quiet. I’m not sure if they were carrying me to their home to torture me; I just knew that there was a reason that I was still alive; I had no clue what that reason was, however.

They weren’t taking any chances with me; they made me switch vehicles multiple times throughout the trip back to their home. It’s almost like they were scared that they would be ambushed. Were they looking out for my father’s men? I was surprised that they’d let me get taken by the overlords in the first place. Did they not want me alive? I was sure that they were keeping a close eye on me. They must know by now that the overlords have taken me.

“Finally,” Jagger mumbles. “She’s quiet.”

My eyes are closed, and he might think that I’m asleep.

“No one thinks you’re asleep.” Someone says. I opened my eyes wide, and it was the one with deep blue eyes; his name was Dash. How the hell did he know what I was thinking?

He smirks, “are you surprised I can read your mind, girl?”
