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
_Heyley’s POV_I banged the door behind me, stopping at the edge of the staircase.I turned around to see if Atlas followed me and when he didn't, I kept walking down.I had no idea why I had reacted the way that I did, but I wanted to stay as far away from him as I couldAll he had said earlier was all right. I was mad at myself that he could make me react in the way that I did, and even madder at him for knowing that fact.Taking a deep breath, I walked into the bar, walking straight for DaemonDaemon saw me and his eyes lit up, roaming around my body. It was as if he was looking for something, and the frown and look of his disappointment later proved that to me.“What were you expecting?” I asked him, sitting on the counter,”.it was late already and there weren't many people left inside the bar.The only ones were people who were drunk off their asses waiting for someone to come and take them home, or something.“Damn,” Daemon said and my brows rose up.“What's wrong?” I asked hi
Chapter one hundred and two Atlas pov I ran with the speed of light to Denise's room and she was jerking off with foam-like substance coming out of her mouth .“Run , quickly send word to the nurse, I can't afford to lose her", I said to the maid .She ran with her tiny legs and in no time she was out of sight, Janet and Anna came into the room when Denise was more relaxed .“What's happening to her again?Janet asked ." I don't know, I can't tell a lot has been happening to us all”, I said.The nurse came in no distant time,she was busy with Denise for quite a while, I wondered what she was doing." How is she doing?" I asked ." She is fine, I have been able to stabilize her", she said ." That's what you said the last time, Is she going to come out of this alive?”, I asked with anger written all over my face. “Yes, most definitely", she replied.“I'll take your word for it, however if she doesn't make it out alive I'll have you to blame and I'll have you arrested and thrown ins
Chapter one hundred and oneHeyley's pov I walked through the forest majestically. I didn't want to run as I was. I was lost in my thoughts, when things seemed to be getting better for me and Atlas and then boom the worse things happened. I admired the trees and beautiful nature as I walked past the forest.No It was noon and I had gotten to Arnou's palace and I met him addressing the guards just right outside , his eyes met mine .“Heyley, it's been ages”, he said ."I know, how have you been doing?" I asked."We are all just here , the moon goddess has been protecting us and we bless her for that”, he replied."I'm happy for you, is Dianacia asleep, where is Bayta?”, I asked.Bayta usually runs to hug me whenever she hears my voice but this time it was quite strange. I have been outside here for quite a while and she hasn't come.“I think they are inside, they probably didn't hear your voice”, Anour replied.I went into the house, nothing had changed, I could only imagine the pea
Chapter one hundred Atlas pov This time there was a lot of blood gushing out of his legs, I ran towards him and immediately he turned to his wolf, we were having a really fatal fight.“Stop it, stop it Altas", Heyley cried out.I could hear her cry from where I was but I couldn't back done I was going to show Liam that he messed with the wrong set for family, this time the house was burning and the fire was gradually moving slowly into the main building, I guess the remaining men that came with Liam realized their mistakes they helped Heyley, and the others put off the fire, however Liam and I continued fighting roughly, this time I had bitten him on his neck and he was bleeding profusely, he fell flat to the ground, the crowd who were focused on putting off the fire were now on us.The men ran towards Liam's bleeding wolf. He was losing a lot of blood and he was dying. At this point I started to regret my actions in every fight with him.“You want to kill him like you killed his ma
Chapter ninety nine Atlas povI looked at Anna in disbelief, I wondered whether that could be the reason she had been acting up around Denise, I was so shocked by this new revelation.Ok“Anna, do you have the slightest idea of what you are talking about", I asked her with my eyes wide open .“Come off it Altas, I am not delusional, I know what I am talking about", she said with so much confidence.“How I'm I not sure you are making this up, we all know that your family has malicious intent towards this Denise girl and now that it is time to do right by her, you come out with this false accusations, why didn't say all these things before she was delivered of her baby", Elder Will asked.I knew it would be difficult for any of them to believe Anna, but I sure do believe her because Anna is one person who is always ready to state where one is wrong, she is a fearless woman, I looked at Elder Will skeptically as made these statements about Anna."Let's not jump into conclusion, I know t
[29/06/2024, 5:09:10 PM] Mumu Number One🥹🥰: Chapter ninety Eight Atlas pov I ran out of the room as fast as my legs could carry, I could never have imagined that Denise would try and take her own life. Was it the loss of the baby that was causing her unbearing attitude?Immediately I entered her room I saw her jerking on the bed .“What the hell, why would she do this to herself if someone calls the nurse” I yelled .The maid ran out hastily and just immediately Heyley came into the room.“Get Janet for me", I said to Heyley .Before she could even leave the room Janet and Anna were already in the room.“Was no one with her when she did this to herself"? Janet asked.“I don't think so," I replied.“ I really do not know why you all are bothering yourself with someone who doesn't want to live any more can't you all see that she is traumatized with the loss of her baby, she certainly deserves what karma is giving to her after all", Anna said sarcastically.“What Anna, I urge you t
Chapter ninety seven Heyley's pov I looked at Atlas my eyes bewildered, I couldn't seem to comprehend the news he just broke to me, “B… but you gave me your words, you told me that Denise's condition won't stop us from getting married, why the change of heart all of a sudden”? I asked ."It's not me, it's the elders who want me to marry Denise, but I declined, however they are threatening to take me down if I don't , I seriously do not know what to do now Hayley I need you now more than ever”, Atlas said as he squeezed my hands tightly."Make up your mind Atlas, I'm tired of this rigmarole, this minute you want this and the next minute you want that, I have feelings too so i don't expect you to play with them”, I said in a harsh tone ." I promise to fix it Heyley, it's you I want, … . I really, before he could finish talking the maid cut him off.“Sir, please Luna wants to see you”, she said as she bowed her head ." Luna, I scoffed .“You all should suit yourself", I said as I w

Chapter ninety five Atlas pov “That's not possible, how does the death of the baby affect Heyley and I and besides the earlier we get married, the earlier we can make more heirs' ', I said to him."This isn't about making more heirs, it's about doing what's right, paying homage to the dead”, he replied."Fine, it's just three months and we are out of there”. I said .I walked out on him and went to the room, I was really pissed, how am I expected to break this news to Heyley .One minute we are on the right track the next minute all our plans just fall off .Heyley noticed my worried face when I entered the room. “Is everything alright?” she asked“No, they do not want us to get married just yet because of the death of the baby", I replied.“What, that's not fair , how does our wedding affect the already buried child ?" She asked.“Same thing I asked, but apparently it is tradition , don't worry we'll be married in no time it's just three months", I said .She looked at me in disbe
