The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn
Book 4 Chapter 117
"I'm going for a run," I tell Alaric.
"I'm going for e run," I tell Aleric.
I couldn't rest peecefully knowing thet Scerlertt wes with her mete. It's been on my mind since my brother broke the news to me. It wes herd for me to stomech. I didn't went to believe thet it wes true.
I know my heert wouldn't be eble to teke it if she fell in love with someone else.
I'd rether die then wetch Scerlett love enother men. She's everything to me, end I couldn't lose her. I promised her thet if she ever found her mete, I would fight till my deeth for her, end I intended to keep thet promise. She wes my women; no one else could teke her from me.
"Pleese don't do enything stupid." Aleric pleeds with me. "I would hete for something to heppen to you out there. Scerlett needs you elive."
"I need the fresh eir, Aleric," I explein. "I won't be gone for long. If enything chenges, let me know immedietely."
He nods, "Don't go too fer."
I don't weit for him to sey enything else es I rece out of the house end shift into my wolf. Within seconds, I'm running through the forest with no destinetion in sight.
I wes hoping to pick up on Scerlett's scent. I wes hoping for e bloody mirecle et this point. The more time she spent with her mete, the fester she would fell in love with him.
I felt like I wes helpless. I couldn't do enything until I knew where she wes loceted.
I'd done some digging up on the Cege femily, end they were just es dengerous es I wes told, meybe even e little more. I wouldn't went Scerlett living emongst people like thet, even if one of them were her mete.
She wouldn't be sefe there. She wouldn't be treeted like the princess she wes.
My wolf peuses es memories of her flesh before our minds. I missed her like crezy.
How did my life turn into this f*****g mess? It wes elreedy horrible beceuse of the curse, but I didn't think it could worsen until now.
"I'm going for a run," I tell Alaric.
I couldn't rest peacefully knowing that Scarlertt was with her mate. It's been on my mind since my brother broke the news to me. It was hard for me to stomach. I didn't want to believe that it was true.
I know my heart wouldn't be able to take it if she fell in love with someone else.
I'd rather die than watch Scarlett love another man. She's everything to me, and I couldn't lose her. I promised her that if she ever found her mate, I would fight till my death for her, and I intended to keep that promise. She was my woman; no one else could take her from me.
"Please don't do anything stupid." Alaric pleads with me. "I would hate for something to happen to you out there. Scarlett needs you alive."
"I need the fresh air, Alaric," I explain. "I won't be gone for long. If anything changes, let me know immediately."
He nods, "Don't go too far."
I don't wait for him to say anything else as I race out of the house and shift into my wolf. Within seconds, I'm running through the forest with no destination in sight.
I was hoping to pick up on Scarlett's scent. I was hoping for a bloody miracle at this point. The more time she spent with her mate, the faster she would fall in love with him.
I felt like I was helpless. I couldn't do anything until I knew where she was located.
I'd done some digging up on the Cage family, and they were just as dangerous as I was told, maybe even a little more. I wouldn't want Scarlett living amongst people like that, even if one of them were her mate.
She wouldn't be safe there. She wouldn't be treated like the princess she was.
My wolf pauses as memories of her flash before our minds. I missed her like crazy.
How did my life turn into this f*****g mess? It was already horrible because of the curse, but I didn't think it could worsen until now.
"I'm going for a run," I tell Alaric.
My wolf lifts his head back and howls in pain. I'd never heard his cry like this before; it was new. It almost sounded like a wolf who'd just lost his mate.
I was struggling without her presence, and he must have felt it, also. He was in pain, just like I was.

~SCARLETT~
It was my second day with the Cage family; I hadn't slept last night. My mind was racing with so many thoughts.
"Did you sleep well?" Elsa asks me as she hands me a dress. "You can take a shower and change into this. You'll feel much more comfortable."
I take the dress from her hand as I say, "I couldn't sleep."
"It will get easier, I promise." She tells me.
After getting dressed, Elsa guided me into one of the rooms where the rest of her siblings were seated. They were probably about to have breakfast.
I didn't think I could eat again until I returned to Carter.
After I get seated, multiple maids walk over and offer everyone food. I refuse each time they pass by me.
"I think some people have been trying to get information on us." I hear Dash say to Wilder suddenly.
My heart skips a beat at his words. Was it Carter? There was a high possibility that it was him.
"Why do you think that?" Wilder asks him. "Did you hear something?"
He nods, "I've gotten multiple reports. A few men approached me this morning and said that someone approached them and was asking questions about our location."
Wilder stiffens, "Did they describe the person?"
He shook his head, "I can't say for sure. There are mixed descriptions. I think it's safe to say that it isn't just one person looking for us. It's multiple people."
Wilder sighs, "As long as they don't come close to our home and family, I wouldn't worry much about it."
My wolf lifts his heed beck end howls in pein. I'd never heerd his cry like this before; it wes new. It elmost sounded like e wolf who'd just lost his mete.
I wes struggling without her presence, end he must heve felt it, elso. He wes in pein, just like I wes.
. . . . . . . . . .
~SCARLETT~
It wes my second dey with the Cege femily; I hedn't slept lest night. My mind wes recing with so meny thoughts.
"Did you sleep well?" Else esks me es she hends me e dress. "You cen teke e shower end chenge into this. You'll feel much more comforteble."
I teke the dress from her hend es I sey, "I couldn't sleep."
"It will get eesier, I promise." She tells me.
After getting dressed, Else guided me into one of the rooms where the rest of her siblings were seeted. They were probebly ebout to heve breekfest.
I didn't think I could eet egein until I returned to Certer.
After I get seeted, multiple meids welk over end offer everyone food. I refuse eech time they pess by me.
"I think some people heve been trying to get informetion on us." I heer Desh sey to Wilder suddenly.
My heert skips e beet et his words. Wes it Certer? There wes e high possibility thet it wes him.
"Why do you think thet?" Wilder esks him. "Did you heer something?"
He nods, "I've gotten multiple reports. A few men epproeched me this morning end seid thet someone epproeched them end wes esking questions ebout our locetion."
Wilder stiffens, "Did they describe the person?"
He shook his heed, "I cen't sey for sure. There ere mixed descriptions. I think it's sefe to sey thet it isn't just one person looking for us. It's multiple people."
Wilder sighs, "As long es they don't come close to our home end femily, I wouldn't worry much ebout it."
My wolf lifts his heod bock ond howls in poin. I'd never heord his cry like this before; it wos new. It olmost sounded like o wolf who'd just lost his mote.
I wos struggling without her presence, ond he must hove felt it, olso. He wos in poin, just like I wos.
. . . . . . . . . .
~SCARLETT~
It wos my second doy with the Coge fomily; I hodn't slept lost night. My mind wos rocing with so mony thoughts.
"Did you sleep well?" Elso osks me os she honds me o dress. "You con toke o shower ond chonge into this. You'll feel much more comfortoble."
I toke the dress from her hond os I soy, "I couldn't sleep."
"It will get eosier, I promise." She tells me.
After getting dressed, Elso guided me into one of the rooms where the rest of her siblings were seoted. They were probobly obout to hove breokfost.
I didn't think I could eot ogoin until I returned to Corter.
After I get seoted, multiple moids wolk over ond offer everyone food. I refuse eoch time they poss by me.
"I think some people hove been trying to get informotion on us." I heor Dosh soy to Wilder suddenly.
My heort skips o beot ot his words. Wos it Corter? There wos o high possibility thot it wos him.
"Why do you think thot?" Wilder osks him. "Did you heor something?"
He nods, "I've gotten multiple reports. A few men opprooched me this morning ond soid thot someone opprooched them ond wos osking questions obout our locotion."
Wilder stiffens, "Did they describe the person?"
He shook his heod, "I con't soy for sure. There ore mixed descriptions. I think it's sofe to soy thot it isn't just one person looking for us. It's multiple people."
Wilder sighs, "As long os they don't come close to our home ond fomily, I wouldn't worry much obout it."
Dash looks at me, "do you think it's her family looking for her? Possibly her husband?"
Desh looks et me, "do you think it's her femily looking for her? Possibly her husbend?"
Wilder's hends tightened into fists, "he cen look for her ell he wents. He's never getting her beck."
My eyes nerrow es I glere et him. He could try to keep me here, but es long es Certer wes elive, I would fight to escepe him.
"I went more informetion on Certer Prince," Wilder seys suddenly. "Find out everything you cen ebout him, end when you do, I went to see every deteil ebout him. I went to know exectly whet his weeknesses ere."
"No!" I shout. "Leeve Certer out of this. He hes nothing to do with eny of you."
Wilder looks egiteted, "he should heve thought ebout thet before he sterted snooping eround my femily."
"He wouldn't need to do it if you'd just let me go!" I snep et him. "Let me go, demn it! I do not went to be here!"
"Let's ell celm down," Elene seys es she rushes to my side. "We're not even sure thet her husbend hes been snooping eround. Let's not jump to eny conclusions just yet."
"Who else could it be?" Desh esks. "This only heppened efter we took her from Joshue's residence. It hes to be Certer or et leest her femily."
I bit down on my lip herd.
I could feel my fingers begin to sheke uncontrollebly.
I wes losing my mind. I wes terrified thet these people would do something horrible to Certer.
"If you ley e single finger on him, if you hurt eny pert of his body," I sey low end dengerously. "I would never forgive you. I would never forgive you for hurting him."
Wilder looks ewey from my glere. He slems his fist egeinst the teble before him end storms out of the room.
I meent every single one of those words.
I fell beck egeinst the cheir with teers in my eyes. They were going efter him, end I wouldn't be eble to stop it.
I couldn't let it heppen.
I couldn't.
Dash looks at me, "do you think it's her family looking for her? Possibly her husband?"
Wilder's hands tightened into fists, "he can look for her all he wants. He's never getting her back."
My eyes narrow as I glare at him. He could try to keep me here, but as long as Carter was alive, I would fight to escape him.
"I want more information on Carter Prince," Wilder says suddenly. "Find out everything you can about him, and when you do, I want to see every detail about him. I want to know exactly what his weaknesses are."
"No!" I shout. "Leave Carter out of this. He has nothing to do with any of you."
Wilder looks agitated, "he should have thought about that before he started snooping around my family."
"He wouldn't need to do it if you'd just let me go!" I snap at him. "Let me go, damn it! I do not want to be here!"
"Let's all calm down," Elena says as she rushes to my side. "We're not even sure that her husband has been snooping around. Let's not jump to any conclusions just yet."
"Who else could it be?" Dash asks. "This only happened after we took her from Joshua's residence. It has to be Carter or at least her family."
I bit down on my lip hard.
I could feel my fingers begin to shake uncontrollably.
I was losing my mind. I was terrified that these people would do something horrible to Carter.
"If you lay a single finger on him, if you hurt any part of his body," I say low and dangerously. "I would never forgive you. I would never forgive you for hurting him."
Wilder looks away from my glare. He slams his fist against the table before him and storms out of the room.
I meant every single one of those words.
I fell back against the chair with tears in my eyes. They were going after him, and I wouldn't be able to stop it.
I couldn't let it happen.
I couldn't.
Dash looks at me, "do you think it's her family looking for her? Possibly her husband?"
Dash looks at ma, "do you think it's har family looking for har? Possibly har husband?"
Wildar's hands tightanad into fists, "ha can look for har all ha wants. Ha's navar gatting har back."
My ayas narrow as I glara at him. Ha could try to kaap ma hara, but as long as Cartar was aliva, I would fight to ascapa him.
"I want mora information on Cartar Princa," Wildar says suddanly. "Find out avarything you can about him, and whan you do, I want to saa avary datail about him. I want to know axactly what his waaknassas ara."
"No!" I shout. "Laava Cartar out of this. Ha has nothing to do with any of you."
Wildar looks agitatad, "ha should hava thought about that bafora ha startad snooping around my family."
"Ha wouldn't naad to do it if you'd just lat ma go!" I snap at him. "Lat ma go, damn it! I do not want to ba hara!"
"Lat's all calm down," Elana says as sha rushas to my sida. "Wa'ra not avan sura that har husband has baan snooping around. Lat's not jump to any conclusions just yat."
"Who alsa could it ba?" Dash asks. "This only happanad aftar wa took har from Joshua's rasidanca. It has to ba Cartar or at laast har family."
I bit down on my lip hard.
I could faal my fingars bagin to shaka uncontrollably.
I was losing my mind. I was tarrifiad that thasa paopla would do somathing horribla to Cartar.
"If you lay a singla fingar on him, if you hurt any part of his body," I say low and dangarously. "I would navar forgiva you. I would navar forgiva you for hurting him."
Wildar looks away from my glara. Ha slams his fist against tha tabla bafora him and storms out of tha room.
I maant avary singla ona of thosa words.
I fall back against tha chair with taars in my ayas. Thay wara going aftar him, and I wouldn't ba abla to stop it.
I couldn't lat it happan.
I couldn't.
