The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn

The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn Chapter 293 ~CARTER~

I’d never been more worried in my f*****g life than this morning when I woke up in my backyard with no memory of last night or how I’d escaped the room.

I’d managed to break free from all of the chains. It’s never happened in the past. I’ve always woken in that room with bruises. This time, there were even more bruises.

It meant that I had been roaming last night. It made me feel sick to my stomach.

Who did I f**k? Did I hurt anyone?

At first, I was terrified I had gone straight to Scarlett the second I’d broken free. I was pacing all morning, waiting for her to show up. I was even tempted to drive to her house and check for her myself.

When I didn’t see a look of fear in her eyes this morning, it relieved me. But I still had to confirm that I hadn’t done anything to hurt or frighten her under the influence of the full moon. That’s why I asked her if she’d done as I’d asked.

“What the hell happened last night?” Ares asks when he sees me in the locker room.

“Why do you think I’ll have a f*****g answer to give you?” I demand. “I woke up in the f*****g backyard. I don’t know what trouble I got myself into last night, Ares.”

I was relieved that I hadn’t visited Scarlett, but I was still worried about what I’d done. I was not okay with physically hurting a woman. But apparently, I was good at emotionally breaking them after what I’d openly done to Clara.

I shook her out of my head. I didn’t want to think about Clara. I had hurt her too much.

“Has any girl walked up to you yet?” He asks me. “Maybe if you slept with someone from the academy, they will come up to you and mention what happened.”

I run a hand through my hair. “This can’t happen again.”

Ares nods, “I’m sure they’re already purchasing more chains and locks. It won’t happen again; don’t beat yourself up too much. You can’t control what happens on a full moon. It’s not your fault.”

It still felt like my fault. Why could I not have any control? But how could I have any control at all when I wasn’t even aware of what I was doing at night on a full moon?

“I’m late for class.” He tells me as he exits the locker room. “We will catch up later.”
