The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn Chapter 74

I gasped; his words were like a punch to my stomach. I watch as he storms away from me to join the others.

They weren’t going to play nice. None of them were. And the council would be here any minute now.

I drop myself onto the ground as I pray for a miracle to save everyone involved.

Images of Atticus flashed before my mind. I’ve loved him for too long to let this be the end for us. Since we’ve married, we haven’t gotten a single day without someone or something trying to separate us.

I couldn’t just sit here and watch everything happen. The overlords didn’t know that I was hiding my power, pretending that I was weak earlier so that they didn’t think of me as a threat anymore. While it may have worked to convince Dash, the rest of the overlords hadn’t been convinced.

If I tried hard enough, I could break free from the cell. I had faith that I could do it. I could always fight the hardest when the people I cared about were involved. This time they were all here, every single one of them, I could feel their strong presence. My love for them will help me break free.

I grab the iron bars and my eyes widen when it burns me. An involuntary cry leaves my mouth as the pain travels throughout my body. I’m f****d to let go and stare at it in horror. It wasn’t any average cell; it was most likely designed just for my father or recently built just for me. Was this the cell they planned on locking me in once they decided to keep me alive? It had to be. They would have used all their resources to ensure it was strong enough to trap me for as long as they desired.

I listen closely as the howls get louder. This only means that they’d reached the palace. A chill runs down my spine. They were moving quickly.

I was running out of time to stop this mess.

“DASH!” I scream. “Jagger! Someone! Anyone! Stop this madness!”

I knew it was useless calling out to them, but I was desperate to try anything.

The thought of anything horrible happening to Atticus was killing me inside. I was supposed to keep him safe; letting the overlords take me from his home was a decision that I made to protect both him and his family.

My plan was backfiring. I thought I was doing the right thing by letting them take me, but I only realized that I’d put more people’s lives in danger by my actions.

My eyes widen when I hear a roar followed by a collision. It was happening.

The fight had started between them, yet I was still locked inside this damn cell! I was going to miss the entire battle if I didn’t find a way to get out of this blasted thing!

My hands are trembling with fear for the lives of the people I love the most. I close my eyes as I try to find the inner strength I need to break free. I didn’t know how powerful I was, but I knew that nothing would stop me today from saving those that I loved.

I continued to think of Atticus, Clarissa, my parents, my siblings, Griffin and his brothers, Gabriella, Maya, and their families.

Say it.

Say it.

Say it.

I covered my ears as the words kept repeating in my head.

‘Bound by this cell, break me free with this spell.’

‘Bound by this cell, break me free with this spell.’

My eyes flash open, and I can feel the darkness within me rise, “BOUND BY THIS CELL, BREAK ME FREE WITH THIS SPELL!”

I’m shouting, screaming the words. I don’t even blink when the iron bars break in half in front of me and go flying into the walls.

My lips part as I watch the entire thing break apart. The sound it makes forces me to cover my ear. It was crazy to think that the overlords must have been convinced this cell would be able to hold me but somehow, I was able to break the entire thing into multiple pieces right before my eyes.

Luckily, no one was guarding me. Everyone was too busy in the battle to realize that I’d just broken free from the cell. This was my opportunity to get the hell out of here.

My heart was pounding as I ran throughout the palace, following the sounds. There are so many growls and deafening screams that I am scared I’m already too late.

“Atticus!” I screamed as I ran through the halls. “ATTICUS!”

I was terrified that they’d already gotten to him. I know he can’t hear me, and I should keep my mouth shut before the overlords realize I’d gotten free, but I can’t stop myself. I need to find him. I need to confirm that he’s safe.

I rushed out into the balcony; I knew I could get a good view of everything from there. I spot Austin’s and Hunter’s wolves; they’re doing insane damage to their opponents. It was hard to find who I was looking for with the number of wolves all attacking at the same time.

A loud horn pierces the sky, and my heart sinks when I see members from the black council only a short distance away. They’d finally reached. It will get only worse from here.

There was still no sign of Atticus. I was beginning to panic. I had no idea where to find him. He was supposed to be with the others. Where was he? Where was my mate? I was crying out inside for him. If anything happens to him, I will never be able to forgive myself.

My heart stops beating when someone grabs me from behind. I gasp when his lips crash to my neck, “thank God I’ve found you.”

And just like that, my heart begins to beat again.

Atticus.

I couldn’t believe he was holding me. Was it possible that I was hallucinating?

I slowly turn around in his arm, and my eyes widen as I stare at him. It was indeed my mate, my husband. I slowly reach up and drag my hand down his face. Blood was all over his body, and I had no idea how much he’d fought to get to me.

I hate seeing so many bruises on his body. I wanted to kiss away his pain. I wished that my lips could heal each wound.
