The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn Chapter 223 Book 3 Chapter 59 ~WILOW~

Before I could understand what he was trying to tell me, I heard another loud bang. Whoever it was that had hit us a few seconds ago was doing it again.

It wasn’t an accident; they intentionally hit us from the back.

Dante throws his shirt over my body before throwing me out of the jeep. I thought I would hit the ground, but to my surprise, he shifted right before my eyes, and my body fell on top of his wolf before I even had a chance to hit the ground.

It was the first time I was face to face with Dante’s wolf. Strangely, he brought me great comfort. I held onto him as he raced through the woods with me on his back. I couldn’t resist rubbing my hands on his black fur; there were even some spots of brown. He was beautiful and huge. He looked like he could take down multiple other wolves simultaneously.

He moved so quickly that I couldn’t tell if someone was following us. I buried my face against his fur and held on even tighter as he increased his speed.

Dante doesn’t stop until we are in front of his home. When he slowed, I slowly got down from on top of him.

His wolf turns to look at me with curious eyes. He slowly moves towards me, and I don’t move an inch. I let him sniff my neck and my hands before he moves backward.

Damon’s jeep pulls up beside us, and he gets out with Clarissa. Autumn and Griffin exit next.

Dante shifts back into his human form, and Damon throws him his pants.

fast update Dante looks at me, ignoring Damon. “Are you okay?” He asks as he approaches me.

I’m shocked by his concern.

I nod, and only when he seems convinced I’m not hurt does he turn back toward his brother.

“Someone hit us from the back.” He tells him. “At first, I thought it was an accident, but then they intentionally hit us again. I took Willow and ran with her. I didn’t stop until I saw the house.”

“Someone attacked you?” Clarissa asks in horror. “Who the hell is after you?”

Dante shrugged, “It looked like a grey truck, but I couldn’t get a good look at it or the driver since it was raining so much.”

“What the f**k is happening again?” Griffin demands. “Do we have another psycho person out for us?”

I wince at his question. I knew the last psychos after his family happened to be my family.

“Sorry, Willow.” He apologizes when he remembers that I was here.

“It’s okay,” I assure him. I knew the damage my mother and sister had brought to their family.

Dante runs a hand down his face, “I should have stayed back. I should have fought, but I was too worried about Willow. The thought of whoever it was coming for her terrified me. I had to get her out of there to safety.”

My lips part, and Clarissa’s eyebrows nearly hit her head. Autumn’s expression mirrors her own. They’re both just as surprised as I am to hear Dante admit he was worried about my safety.

I don’t think he even realizes how concerned he is for me. He’s too caught up in everything to understand what he’d just said in front of everyone.

“You think they were there for Willow?” Damon frowns. “Why?”

“I don’t know.” Dante sighs. “I can’t explain it. I just had this bad feeling in my chest. I hope I’m wrong.”

Autumn turns towards me, “is there someone that could be after you?” She asks me. “Did your sister and mother have any enemies you may have neglected to tell us?”

I shook my head, “I don’t think so. My mother and sister often kept everything from me. I didn’t even know about their plans to destroy your family until I heard from you. They kept every single thing from me. I was always locked up at home. They never let me go anywhere unless they were also with me.”

They all look like they pity me, and I hate the look on their faces.

“That seems strange, doesn’t it?” Clarissa asks Damon. “Why would they hide her from the world? Why would they keep her locked up and away from everyone else? It almost seems like her mother was hiding her from someone.”

I never thought about it like that. Why would my mother need to hide me from anyone? She never mentioned anything to me. I always thought that they kept me from school because they didn’t have enough money to send me. But could there have been another reason all this time?

Were those people responsible for hitting Dante’s jeep after me and not him?
