The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn Chapter 164

BOOK 2 CHAPTER 87

~CLARISSA~

What am I doing? I can feel Damon’s teeth in my neck, and I can also feel the fire inside of me begin to die down. I was gaining back control of my body.

Damon was helping me. Our mating bond was giving me control back once more. I was grateful for this. If I had hurt Damon more than I’d already done, I would have never been able to forgive myself.

When he finally lifts his head, I am in complete control of my body again. He can tell. I know he can.

He smiles a beautiful one that lights up my entire life.

“You’re back.” He whispers.

I nod as I wrap my arms around his neck and hold him tightly. He lifts me into his arms, and I giggle against him.

“I love you, Damon.” I cry. “I’ve loved you for so long, and I’m going to love you even longer.”

He kisses my forehead, cheeks, and neck right above his mark on me. “I’m never letting anyone take you from me again.” He promises me.

“I’m never leaving your side again either,” I promise him.

“I’m so sorry for hurting you,” I whisper as I pull back to look at the bruises. I never thought I would have it inside of me to hurt Damon. Now I knew how dangerous the darkness inside of me could be.

“Hey, look at me.” He says as he lightly touches my chin. “You didn’t hurt me. This was nothing. And it isn’t your fault either; you were not in control of your body. The men who kidnapped you are to blame, and I can’t wait to find them and make them pay.”

“It’s good to have you back, sis,” Griffin says as he takes me from an unhappy Damon.

“I’m happy to be back,” I tell him as I return his hug.

“Thank you for not hurting us.” He teases me. “For a second, I thought you would burn us all alive.”

“Stop teasing her before she hurts you,” Atticus says as he pulls me from Griffin to hug me. Everyone seemed to take turns holding me like I was a child.

My parents are next—the parents I should have accepted a while ago.

My mother hugs me, “I’m so happy you’re safe and back with us. There is something we have for you back home. I think this will make you happy.”

I’m unsure what she’s talking about, but I was curious to know what it was.

Isabella and Lucy are the last to hug me. They told me that Gabriella and Arthur would be joining us soon along with Maya and Kane as well.

It was only then that I realized Autumn was missing. I spun around to look for her and found her in a corner crying.
