Kannon seemed satisfied with my answer, laughing loudly.I watched Atlas as he walked back with a solemn look, Baldly following shortly behind him.So it was Badly who was spying on us the second time. I thought he left, hopefully, he didn't hear anything we said.Very soon the table was covered all over with plates filled with food. There was a full roasted pig at the center of the table and I couldn't help but swallow.I was hungry and I couldn't deny it. Kannon seemed to be amused by my reaction and turned to his men.“Let's feast!” He bellowed and the other men yelled in delight.Each person served themselves and Atlas too was given a plate.The music started and soon everyone was eating and dancing to their fill. I was already certain that it was just the seven of them here, so as long as Atlas took care of the rest, we would be all right.I watched them as they laughed and drank around a fireWas this always how they were?I wondered as I watched the men get drunk.Atlas seemed
I saw Atlas running to me and I increased my pace to meet him quickly.We both closed the distance between us and he held my hands.“We need to get out of here,” We both said at the same time then we started running.We didn't need to explain to the other that something had happened and our lives were at stake.The only thing on our minds then was to run as fast as we could and get the hell out of this place.We soon ran past the fire that we made earlier but no one was there.Where could they have been?I didn't have the time to ponder on that as I ran along with Atlas.Since Atlas didn't have his wolf with him, his running was significantly slower than mine and I had to slow down to match his pace.If anything happens, I would have to be the one to fight for us both.“What about Kannon?” He asked as we ran.“Dead,” I answered, jumping over a rock.I had torn his heart out of his chest, so yes he was deadAtlas's breathing quickened while mine was still steady. He was weaker without
Atlas and I picked up our pace and soon we ran into a forest.The sky rumbled up ahead, a warning of the impending downfall about to come.“We need to find shelter,” Atlas said and I agreed with him.I didn't know if they were still behind us or if they got tired. But I don't think they would get tired. We just needed to lose them.I looked up as a drop of water fell on my face and then another, and soon it was pouring down heavily.Atlas slowed down and so did I.“There's a cave up ahead, there's stay there until it stops,” He yelled over the sound of thunder and I agreed with him.The rain would wash away our scent if they ever came around here.So it was a good thing it started to rain.Atlas and I ran into the cave. We were lucky that there weren't any wild animals or rouge wolves here.“Do you think we lost them?” Atlas asked, grabbing his shirt in his hands and squeezing him.Our clothes were dripping wet and I was worried we were going to get a cold if we stayed in wet clothes
“Atlas..” I called his name softly.I could feel him behind me, and his hands were still wrapped around me.He breathed out softly, his breath fanning my neck.Atlas placed his head on my neck, inhaling my scent.“Atlas can you please let me go?” I asked him, trying to ignore what I felt.He said he didn't have any feelings for his mate, but I didn't really believe that.Fighting the bond created by the moon goddess isn't smart.I wanted to speak up when someone stepped into the cave.I pushed Atlas down to the floor, covering his mouth with my hands.Atlas winced as his head makes contact with the hard floor,.I placed my finger on my lips, telling him to be quiet.I listened as the person walked, praying that whoever it was wouldn't come this way.I was lying on Atlas chest with his arms around me and our faces inches away.Atlas stared at my face and I wonder if he could see the blush on my cheek.The moon illuminated his faciall features, reminding me once more what it's like to be
I stared at Atlas shocked.Did he just call me his wife? I opened my mouth about to refute his claims when Atlas held me back.The man looked at us both suspiciously. “Why was she about to deny your claims? Are you sure she is your wife?” He asked us. He pointed a dagger at me but Atlas pulled me behind him.“Don't point that at my wife. That's because we are currently having issues now and she wants a divorce. Though, I can assure you that she wouldn't be getting one,”* his last words seemed to be directed at me but I ignored him.“Is what he said true? What did he do to make you want to leave him? Did he cheat? Killed someone?” The man asked again, his knife still pointed at us.“He has another woman,” I said, my voice was so small it was barely heard.“Heyley you know..” Atlas started but I wasn't ready to hear him.I step out from behind him.“We really mean no harm to your people. All we want is a place to stay for the night so we can rest before we continue our journey tomorrow
I turned to look at Atlas who was staring at me.There was only a bed in the room and a chair, the bed was barely enough for us two to use.“Maybe I should ask for that extra room,” I turned around to leave but Atlas stopped me.“I don't think that's necessary, we can just share the bed. Wouldn't be the first time,” Atlas suggested and I turned to glare at him.We were married when we shared a bed last time, and I still haven't changed my mind about getting a divorce.“Atlas. We can't be doing this,” I said, sighing tiredly.I told him I was going to get a divorce after this. He's trying to get close to me wouldn't change my mind.Someone knocked on the door and I turned to it, the door pushed open and an elderly woman walked in.“Here are some clothes for you dearie,” She said handing the clothes to us.We thanked her and she left, closing the door behind her.“I'd use the bathroom first,” I said, walking into the bathroom before he replied.Getting under the showerhead brought me pe
Next Chapter_Atlas’s POV_I turned around as Heyley stormed off, about to run after her.“And where do you think you're going?”, Daemon asked and I turned to look at him.“Stay out of this” I threatened, my finger pointed at him.“For your information, I'm not afraid of you,” He said with an eye roll.I knew he wasn't bluffing. He was an Alpha's son, so of course he wouldn't be.“She just needs some time alone to herself. But she should be fine soon. You hurt her you know,”His last sentence made me look away in shame but I knew he was right.I couldn't forget the look on her face when she saw that Aria was my mate.“What's your story with her?” Daemon asked and I turned to look at him.“Thought she told you already?” I asked him and he shrugged.“She did. But I want to know why you did it,” He answered truthfully and I sighed.“I have a mate, yes. But I don't love her,” I said and Daemon looked at me shocked.His reaction was the same as Heyley's when I told her the same.“How can y
_Heykey’s POV_Atlas rushed in a few minutes, falling to his knees next to me.“What happened to her? What did you do?” He screamed at them, taking me in his arms.“Atlas. I feel so hot..” I cried, grabbing his arm.I was filled with heat and the desire to be touched.I have never felt this way before and it felt so painful.I led his hand to my core, clenching my legs around it.Atlas looked at me, surprise and confusion taking over his features.“What's wrong with her?” He asked the Luna who had been watching us silently.“She's in her heart period, if she doesn't get touched by a man soon, it will continue this way for a few days.” She said, staring at us like we knew what to do.I cried as my insides burned up, it felt as if someone lit a fire and threw it inside me.“So what can I do to stop her from feeling this?”Atlas asked, carrying me bridal style.The Luna looked at him like the answer wasn't obvious.“You need to mate with her, and fast. The sooner the better. I don't know
