The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn Chapter 71

~ATTICUS~

Austin and his family met me outside their home. I asked for all of them to gather; I was hoping to request a huge favor, and I wasn’t sure if they would be willing to help me.

“What’s this about?” Austin asks me. He was already in a defensive stance. He knew that something had to be wrong for me to arrive here to speak to him. He would also be suspicious after I asked everyone to gather as well.

“The overlords have taken Autumn,” I inform him.

There are surprised gasps all around me. Everyone is shocked that I’ve mentioned Autumn and the overlords in the same sentence. It’s surprising to hear myself say those words, also. The more I said it, the worse I felt inside. She was no longer by my side. Autumn was in danger, and for the second time, I could not get to her in time because of a f*****g accident.

“The overlords?” Hunter asks, intrigued. “What do the overlords want with Autumn?”

I didn’t know how to break the news to them. This was supposed to be a secret from everyone, but it was no use keeping the truth from the people I needed help from.

“We recently discovered that the Riveras aren’t Autumn’s real parents.” I begin explaining. They were already shocked by this news; I couldn’t imagine their reactions when I told them the whole truth. “Her father is a sorcerer called Azai Reign. I’m not sure if any of you have ever heard that name before today.”

“Azai Reign?” Hunter asks, his eyes wide. I’m surprised that he knows anything about him.

“How do you know him?” I ask. “According to the council, as well as the overlords, no one is supposed to speak about him. I knew nothing of him until I learned the truth.”

Hunter doesn’t look proud of his knowledge of Azai.
