Chapter 255

The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn Chapter 255 Book 3 Chapter 90 ~DANTE~

“Kill her?” I can’t recognize my own voice. “Did you just say he wants to kill her?”

Every vein in my body threatened to burst at the thought of someone hurting Willow. I f*****g watched that bastard take her away from me, and I could do nothing about it. Not only did I fail her since the start of our marriage, but I also managed to fail to protect her as well.

I was useless when it came to keeping Willow happy. I realized too late that I loved her. I took too long and let my past ruin our future, and now I would have to pay for it for the rest of my life.

“Yes,” Caroline answers for her sister. “Cassius plans on killing her.”

“I don’t understand.” I frown. “Why would anyone want to kill Willow? What had she ever done to anyone?”

“It’s not what she has done, it’s what she’s capable of doing,” Caroline explains.

“And what is she capable of doing?” I demand.

They weren’t making any sense at all. I didn’t even know Willow had sisters until now. All this time, we all thought that Anya was her sister. It would explain why she was so different from her.

“She’s capable of killing him.” She answers me. “Cassius, Autumn, and Clarissa, the three children of Azai Reign. They possess the power that could destroy our world. My sisters and I possess the power to stop them.”

My brothers and I all freeze at her words. They had the power to kill Reign’s daughters? It meant that both Clarissa and Autumn were in danger around these women.

They couldn’t be trusted even though they were Willow’s sisters. They seemed trained. It meant that they were preparing all these years to get rid of them.

“What the hell do you mean by that?” Damon demands. “You’re not going anywhere near Clarissa and Autumn. If you try to lay a finger on them, I would rip you both apart.”

“I can’t promise for the future, but right now, I can assure you that we don’t want to hurt them. We need them to get Willow back safely.” Winter hisses at him. “This isn’t about any of us; this is about the safety of our world. Cassius must be stopped before he causes any more damage. For that to happen, we need to get Willow back alive!”

“I think if we are given a chance to speak to our brother, things might be different,” Autumn says. “Clarissa and I have no intention of taking over the world. We are nothing like our father. If Cassius is anything like the both of us, we can help change his mind.”

Caroline sighs, “It isn’t that easy, Autumn. You may think he’s just like both of you, but he’s just like his father. He’s already just as evil as he is. My sisters and I are the only people standing between him and what he truly wants. You may not believe me when I say this, but if he gets into your heads, he will have the power to control both of you. He’s already more advanced and powerful than the two of you combined. You’re both new to this; he had years of practice.”

Clarissa and Autumn look at each other, and I can see the fear in their eyes. I don’t think they’re concerned about themselves. I believe they are scared that they will lose their brother before getting to know him.

“There is one other thing you should know,” Caroline announces suddenly.

Everyone turns to look at her. What else could she possibly have to say to us? She’d already said some things that were freaking hard to believe.

“Is it more bad news?” Griffin asks. “Because we can all do with some good news after everything you’ve just dropped on us.”

“It’s a mixture of both.” She answers him as she turns to look at me.

Something in her eyes made me feel uneasy. Whatever it was, it was most definitely a serious topic.

“Should you be the one to break the news?” Winter asks her. “If Willow chose not to say anything to him, we shouldn’t either.”

Caroline looks at her sister, “he needs to know what he’s about to lose if we don’t get Willow back in time.”

“What the hell are the two of you talking about?” I demand. “What did Willow not tell me?”

I didn’t understand how anything they had to say to me could be more important than Willow getting kidnapped.

“Willow isn’t the only one in danger.” She finally answers me.

“What is that supposed to mean?” I demand.

“Willow is pregnant with your child Dante.” She announces. “And now Cassius has them both. There’s no telling what he’s going to do.”

P-pregnant?

Pregnant?

This couldn’t be.

“No,” I whisper. “That’s not possible. She can’t be pregnant.”

“Are you saying the two of you didn’t have s*x?” Winter demands.

My face pales at her question.

“She went into heat—”

I can’t finish my sentence.

It’s all too much for me to take in at once.

Willow was pregnant? With my baby?

I didn’t think there was anything in this world that would make me feel worse than I did before, but I was wrong. It felt like someone had just ripped my heart out of my chest. I’d done so much to hurt Willow, and now she was pregnant. Pregnant.

And now a psychopath f*****g had her.

No.

This wasn’t f*****g happening!
