17 - Chapter Seventeen - Atlasâ Point Of View.
Today marked the day I was officially five and a half months pregnant. I
only had a month and a half more before I would see my mates. My
Parents and The boy's parents were planning many things, they were
planning a new date for the crowning and a baby shower. It made me
happy to see how deeply they were invested in their babies.
The boys were gone when I woke up this morning but I could
remember them saying they had a busy day today and they wouldn't
be home until after six. I wondered if Fallon would want to hang out. I
called his number and it only rang once before someone picked it up.
"Hello, Who's this?"
The voice on the other end of the phone didn't sound like Fallon, it
sounded broken and joyless.
"Fallon, its Atlas..."
" Hey Atlas, Can we hang out maybe?"
"Sure that's why I called.â
"Can you come to get me... My dad won't let me do anything..."
âI'm on my way, don't worry ill rescue, you my brother.â
"See you when you get here."
Fallon was pregnant with an Alpha Child and not by choice. Fallon was
born mateless. His father took that as an opportunity to breed and try
to marry him off to an Alpha with a nasty reputation. Even my parents
didnât like him. Fallon was a week farther along than me and he was not
happy. I tried to show him the goodness in the joy he was carrying but
he didn't feel the same. Honestly, I didn't blame him for not wanting to
accept the goodness he was carrying.
He didn't hate the baby inside of him, he hated the baby's father.
I grabbed my car keys and went to look for Emerald. When I found him
he was making dinner.
"Hey Emerald, could--"
"Holy Fuck, you scared me."
"Sorry Emerald I really didn't mean too."
"Anyways what were you saying, dear?â
"I was going to ask if Fallon could come over.â
"Of course dear, that boy is always welcome over.â
I needed someone to vent to about Fallonâs ongoing problems and
Emerald was the only one I felt I could tell, Fallon knew I told Emerald
and he was alright with that as long as Emerald kept the details to
himself.
I walked to my car and drove to Fallonâs house. Fallon was standing on
the porch yelling at a larger man who I knew... Alpha Cillian Demetri. I
parked my car and walked up onto the porch of the packhouse. Cillian
snarled as soon as he saw me. I wasn't his favorite and he wasn't mine,
but I was willing to act civilly for Fallon and that was it. End of story.
"Leave, Fallon's not going anywhere he never asked me or his father.â
"I'm sorry but that's where you are wrong Cillian, Fallon is coming with
me and you are going to fuck off and stop controlling him."
Fallon looked like he wanted to cry, Cillian had his hand wrapped tightly
around Fallon's wrist. There would be a hand-print.
"My pup is going nowhere with you.â
That made me snap my friend was worth more than the pup inside of
him. I felt my wolf push me under the surface as my wolf took control.
" Fallon is worth more then the pup in his womb, If you can't see that
you don't deserve the pup he is forced to carry, you are nothing more
than a beast.â
Cillian and I were less than a foot away from each other when I snarled
in his face. Cillian began to laugh. I didn't find this at all funny, not at
all.
"Your Kane and Quinn's pup, Atlas isn't it?"
I pushed my wolf back and took control.
"Yes, I am Atlas Dawson, Luna to be."
"Take Fallon. Bring Him and My pup back safe.â
Fallon pulled his wrist from Cillian's hand and ran down the porch. I
turned to leave when Cillian spoke again. I cringed and didn't want to
even respond to him at all.
"Tell Fallon I'm sorry about his wrist, Please don't let anything happen
to him. Bring him back around dark--"
"I'l have back before six, try not to worry too much, he is safe with me.â
I turned and walked off the deck, I swore for almost a moment I could
see the worry and fear in his eyes. I got back in the car and Fallon was
immediately in my face.
* Atlas what did Sir Snarls say?"
I couldn't even speak because I was laughing so hard. Fallon began to
laugh as well. I couldn't believe he called him Sir Snarls, that was
fucking great.
"Sir Snarls-- Ha ha ha "
"Atlas really what did he say?"
"He said sorry about your wrist and that he wants me to bring you
home safe.â
"All he cares about is this fucking pup... I wish he would love me..."
"Give him time Fallon, I saw it in his eyes the fear and worry."
I drove us back to Lucca and Emerald's house. Fallon seemed to
brighten up when he saw where we were. Emerald and Lucca treated
everyone like their children and I think that's why everyone adored him.
He just carried so much for everyone. It was hard not to like Emerald.
He was so damn likeable.
