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.”
I felt like skipping all classes for the rest of the day. This morning was one of the most challenging mornings for me.
Now that I knew I hadn’t hurt Scarlett, I felt it would be a good idea to ditch the academy for the rest of the day.
As soon as I exit the locker room, I hear a familiar, irritating voice.
“Carter!”
I frown. Not Amy again.
The damn girl didn’t want to give me a break. She was constantly running after me.
“Yes, Amy,” I growl. “What can I do for you today?”
“I’m having a party tonight; I was wondering if you’d like to come.” She says with a bright smile.
“I’m afraid I have practice tonight,” I tell her. “I can’t make it.”
She pouts in the most unattractive way possible. She’s about to say something else when I spot my teammate and friend.
“There you are!” Nick shouts. “We’ve been looking for you everywhere.”
He knew I needed saving from Amy; I didn’t even have to try and explain.
I don’t bother saying goodbye to Amy as I join his side.
“You look like s**t today.”
I quirk a brow, “I’ll still beat you at practice tonight even though I look and feel like shit.”
He laughs, “We will just see about that.”
“I’m skipping the rest of classes for the day,” I informed him. “Cover for me while I’m not there.”
He nods, “I’ll see what I can do. Just don’t skip practice even though you don’t need it. We need you.”

I shoved him into the classroom, and I could hear him laughing from the hallway.
What could I do for the rest of the day? Before I could answer my own question, I spot Scarlett by herself, and my lips curl into a
smile. Despite everything, she still brought a smile to my face. I walked over to where she was standing reading a book and
leaned against the wall next to her.
She jumps when she sees me, “why are you here?”
“I’m skipping classes for the day. Do you want to join me?” I ask, playfully.
She gapes at me, “Are you insane? I don’t skip classes; what makes you think I would do something like that with someone like
you?”
“Ouch,” I whisper. “Don’t you realize that I have feelings? Your words are hurting me.”
She narrows her eyes, “Get out of my way, Carter. I’m late for class.”
“If you’re late, just skip it.” I try again.
I loved messing with her. Her cheeks always got red when she was pissed with me. I still remember the bruise I’d gotten on my
lips from her punch. It was a mighty turn-on.
“Why won’t you just leave me alone?” She demands as she presses a finger against my chest.
I go completely still when she’s suddenly splashed with water. My eyes narrowed when I saw Amy with a bottle of water in her
hand.
“How dare you speak to Carter like that, b***h?” She demands.
“What the f**k is wrong with you, Amy?” I growl.
I am surprised when Scarlett slaps her hard across her face without warning. I can’t stop the smile on my face.
“What the hell—” Amy doesn’t get to finish her sentence as Scarlett walks away, totally ignoring her.
I ran after her. “Scarlett!”
“Stop following me!” She hissed as she walked out of the academy.

I didn’t stop, I couldn’t stop. I had to make sure that she was alright.
“I’m sorry about Amy.” I apologize when she stops by her car. “I didn’t think she would do something like that. I’ll talk to her after
this. This is the last time she will ever do something like that, I promise.”
Scarlett rolls her eyes and ignores me as she grabs the edge of her sweater and pulls it over her head. “I don’t need your help to
deal with someone like Amy.”
She has clothes underneath, but that’s not what catches my attention; it’s the marks on her chest that make everything around
me go completely dark. It was all I could see.
I feel everything around me begin to spin. Those were f*****g hickeys.
Hickeys?
What were they doing there on her body?
Where the f**k did she get those from?
