The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn

THE BLACKNER'S RESIDENCE

~ACE BLACKNER~

"So you really got her pregnant," Nathan says as he looks at me. "I really thought you had more control than that brother."

I didn't need to hear that from him. He wasn't one to talk about control, we all had weak moments in our lives that we still regret to this day.

"She was supposed to be on those pills. If she was using them correctly, she shouldn't have gotten pregnant." I tell him.

He shrugs his shoulders, "there is always a chance that anyone could get pregnant while taking those things. There's always a risk, and you're fully aware of it. I'm curious, though, why is it her out of everyone else? She doesn't seem like your type."

My type?

I wasn't even aware that I had a type.

Blaze nods in agreement, "I must admit that even I am surprised to learn that you got the girl pregnant. She's the last person I can see you committing your life to."

"Who said anything about committing my life to her?" I demand. "The second that my child is born, I don't need to have anything to do with her at all."

"Where is she?" Tyson questions me. "It's strange that she's suddenly barely around after she got pregnant for you. From what I've noticed, she was trying her best to get closer to you. Why is she suddenly no longer around?"

I narrow my eyes, "I've been noticing her strange behavior as well."

It was hard not to notice. Usually, my father would have a woman like her locked up until the baby was born. However, I didn't mention to him yet that I'd gotten a woman pregnant. He already had a woman in line waiting for me, someone that he thought was worthy to have my babies. However, he would be pissed to learn that I got someone like Nicole pregnant. She didn't provide any of the qualities he was searching for.

I couldn't deal with my father right now. I couldn't believe that out of all of the women that I slept with in the past, she happened to be the only one that I got pregnant.

Fuck.

I knew I should have stayed away from the damn woman. I didn't even like her, not even a little. She was just an easy target for me. Now, I was trapped.

I had to find a way to fix this damn situation before my father found out what I did. It was the last thing I needed right now. I saw what happened to Arthur when he chose to disobey him; I barely even saw my brother anymore. I didn't want to do anything to jeopardize my relationship with my family. I had a duty, and that was to protect my brothers and sisters. They needed me. As long as they needed me, I had to obey my father's words and do everything he asked; that way, I could always stay close to my siblings. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

They were all going through their problems. Some of them had found their mates, and were keeping it a secret from father. Others were tied in marriages that they didn't even want.

Damn it. They were all unhappy, just like I was.

"I'd keep a close eye on Nicole if I were you," Nathan tells me. "Something about her doesn't seem right to me. It seems to me like she's lying to you about something."

"I feel the same way about her," Blaze tells me.

I didn't need to respond to them because I knew damn well that I knew exactly what they were speaking about.

I did plan on following her soon. I didn't have any time on my hands to waste on her right now, but the second that I did. I would find out what it was she was keeping from me.

I didn't believe that she was up to any good. I also had to confirm that the baby she was carrying was even mine, to begin with. However, I wouldn't know until the child is born. Until then, I had to keep a close eye on her.

"Have any of you been noticing the strange behavior between our sisters lately?" Blaze asks me.

"You mean ever since Lucas married Freya?" I ask him. "It's obvious that things haven't been the same since then."

Nathan sighs, "That's something I would rather not speak about. It's obvious that Avery is in love with Lucas. It might even be more than just love. He's already married to Freya, and Freya is possibly even more in love with him. I hate to see it. It's yanking our sisters apart.”

"Both of our sisters are in love with the same man." Blaze sighs. "Fuck fate. It's a hell of a thing, isn't it?"

It sure as hell was.

I prayed that I never found my mate in this sickening world. I never wanted to discover what it meant to be in love with a woman. It was an experience that I preferred to live without.
