    The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn Chapter 258


    Book 3 Chapter 93


    ~DANTE~


    After searching for hours, we realized that Winter was telling the truth.


    We were wasting our f*****g time, and I didn’t have time to waste. I had to get to Willow before that


    man hurt her and our baby.


    “Are you ready to listen to me now?” She demands from us. “You can either do as I say or spend


    weeks or months looking for Cassius.”


    My jaw clenched. I didn’t know if my brothers would agree to something like this. It was putting their


    mates in danger, which was thest thing they would ever want to willingly do.


    I turn to them, “please.”

    It’s the only word I could get out. What else could I do? I had no other choice but to plead with them to


    let this happen.


    “We are willing to do it,” Autumn says. “Make whatever ns that you must. If this is the only way to get


    Willow back, so be it.”


    I didn’t think I could love my brother’s mate more than I did now.


    “It would be best if Winter and I meet our mother by ourselves,” Caroline suggests. “She isn’t even


    aware that we left home with Willow.”


    “What do you mean?” I demand. “Why wouldn’t she know the truth?”


    Winter narrows her eyes at me. “Willow was safe where we were. Cassius wouldn’t have dared to take


    her. But when you announced your fights, Willow found out and became frantic. She had to see you,


    and since we wanted to be good sisters to her, we let here to you despite knowing the danger that


    was lying ahead. We thought we would be safe as long as the three of us were together, but clearly, we


    were wrong.”


    I felt like she’d just punched me in the stomach.


    I was at fault. All of this happened because of me and my selfish ways.


    If I didn’t have to protect Willow, I would f*****g ruin my own life for my poor choices. The more I found


    out, the more I hated myself.


    I was a fool, a fool who wanted his woman back in his arms.


    “No one moves while we’re gone,” Winter warns us.


    “I don’t trust them,” Atticus growls the second that they walk away.


    “We don’t have another choice.” I remind him. “They’re my only hope.”


    It takes an hour before they finally return. They were both quiet, and it looked like we were about to get


    bad news. I held my breath.


    “We’ve made a deal with him,” Winter announces suddenly. “Our mother found a way to get into


    contact with him quite quickly. Actually, he was the one that contacted her. He has a few requests that


    he wants us to follow. We must meet exactly where he wants us to meet. There, we will pretend to


    make the trade.”


    “I can’t believe we’re going ahead with this n.” Atticus growls. “I don’t want to put Autumn and


    rissa in danger.”


    “It’s okay.” Autumn tries to calm him down. “Willow is like a sister to us. We must do everything that we


    can to get her back. Cassius can’t hurt us. He won’t. Not when he needs us alive to do what he wants.”


    Atticus and Damon looked like a mess, mirroring what I felt inside. This didn’t just include Willow; it had


    their mates as well. Cassius was the new viin in our story. He threatened the peace my family was


    close to achieving.


    We wouldn’t be able to rest until we’d gotten rid of him. It wouldn’t be easy for Autumn and rissa; he


    was their biological brother.


    It would be f*****g easy for me, however. Anyone that threatened the lives of my wife and my unborn


    child would have to feel my wrath.


    I couldn’t wait to get my hands on his neck and strangle him, amongst many other things.


    “We’re messing with a dangerous sorcerer,” Hunter says as he walks into the meeting room with Austin


    and his family. “He can bring much harm to every single one of us if we don’t think this thing thoroughly


    through.”


    “Hunter is right,” Arthur says as he walks in with Gabrie. “We know enough about Azai Reign to know


    what his son can do. Unlike Autumn and rissa, he doesn’t have anything to live for. He doesn’t have


    a weakness except Willow and her sisters. We must keep the three of them safe if we want our families


    to live to see another day.”


    I close my eyes and try to fight the fear. My mate was in the hands of a f*****g maniac. The longer we


    took to do this exchange, the more harm could be done to her.


    “He can’t know that we’re not nning on giving Autumn and rissa to him,” Austin says. “He cannot


    know that we have other ns. Everything must go smoothly if we want to get everyone back alive.”


    “All we need is to get Willow back,” Caroline says. “Once we have Willow back, we will have all we


    need to kill Cassius before he can kill the rest of us.”


    That’s all I’m wishing for now that she’s gone. I want to have her back in my arms. I want to shower her


    with so much love that she never has topare herself to her sister again. I want her to know that


    Anya is no longer haunting my thoughts. I want her to see that she’s the only one in my mind and heart


    from now on.


    No one else. Only her. She was the only woman for me. Without her, I can’t f*****g breathe.
