Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn

Autumn's POV

Something is happening. I don't know what it is. Our parents are too happy. Atticus's parents are shaking hands with my parents like they're about to make the biggest deals of their life. And while I should be overjoyed over this, I can't help but feel nervous and a little sceptical about the entire thing.

For one, my siblings were nowhere around for this 'important' business deal. If it were that important, they would be here as well. Why are my parents so strict about me being with them? Something tells me that I will get my answer very soon.

"What is going on?" I ask my mother when I finally get her alone. "There is something you're not telling me, and I want to know what it is."

I can't help but tap my fingers against the glass impatiently as I wait for a response a proper one atleast.

There is a reason why she brought me here with her. I should have realised that she wouldn't have dragged me all the way here without having a hidden agenda.

Maybe I should have tried harder to get out if this. I knew that trouble was up ahead, I could feel it at the back of my head, I just wasn't sure what jund of trouble it would be.

My breath gets stuck in my throat as my wolf senses his presence, I lift my head when the door to the front of us slams open revealing the man of my dreams. 'Atticus Fawn'. Time stops in those few seconds for me, just like it always does when he enters a room. His broad shoulders fill the entrance, making it look smaller than it actually was.

His eyes are cold and dangerous as he searching the room for something or someone. Behind him are his brother's. Damon and Dante both look as uneasy as he does. I'm too busy staring at Atticus to care about what's troubling them. His eyes briefly connects with mine and his hands tighten into fists.

Is it just me, or is he angry that I'm here?. During these past few years, Atticus has barely given me any sort of attention, and the one time he acknowledges me and this is the reaction I get from him.

His walk is mighty as he moves towards his Target. I notice that there is something in his hands, wait it's a magazine no not just one but a dozens of them atleast.

There are multiple gasps through the room as he flings the magazines in front of his parents.

I catch a picture of myself on the front cover.

My heart stopped beating.
I'm not the only one on the front cover of the magazine, there is also Atticus.
The pictures aren't what had me in daze however, it's the title at the top.

'Atticus Fawn to wed Autumn Rivera'

"What is this?" He asks, his voice is calm, but his expression is anything but that.

This is what ny parents had been keeping from me. This is the reason they were all so happy. They were celebrating fixing our marriage without telling us about it.

How could they? Isn't this something we should have agreed upon first? How many people already knew about this? There were already magazines, which meant that we were probably the last to know about this. Judging by his action, Atticus had also just found out about this.

Wasn't he supposed to be in a date with Anya right now?. Did is this means she also saw the articles? I hope that she knows I had nothing to do with it. I hope she knows that I didn't agree to this wedding. She was my best friend and even though I was not happy with some of the decision, I would never intensionally do something to sabotage her relationship with any of them.

"Atticus." His mother greets him. "It's nice of you to grace us with your presence finally. As you can see, we have guests here right now. If you had something to ask you could have asked without throwing these magazines all over the place."
"And you are late." His father adds. There is no hiding of disappointment in his voice. "If you were on time, you wouldn't have had to find out this way."

"Find out what?" He asks. "That I'm getting to married to a women I don't want to marry?"

I fight the pain I felt in my heart at his question. Even my wolf hissed slightly, I knew he didn't want to marry me. He wasn't the one in love. I was and he didn't know how much u loved him. I've hidden my feelings for him very well.

"She is right there." His mother snaps. " Have some respect to your future wife and daughter in law of this family.

Atticus rajes a step towards his mother, his eyes flash with anger as he says, " the only women I will marry is Anya, no one else."

He doesn't say anything else as he storms out of the room.

I watch him go, my eyes lingering on the entrance from where he left until I can't see him anymore.

I was worried about him I slightly looked towards where Damon and Dante were standing, and I didn't know what I wanted to tell them I just wanted them to check on him, As if reading my thoughts Damon gives me a knowing look and nods his head towards me and runs behind Atticus and Dante gives me small pity smile and runs behind his brothers as well.
They both have always been good to me, different from how Atticus cold behaviour towards me was they both have always been warm and friendly, it's like we share a bond. Which I don't know what it is.but they have always been like brothers towards me.

"Don't feel bad about his words." Carol, his mother, tells me. "He's just in shock. The wedding will happen. Next week is the official engagement. All of the preparation have already been done.

"He has all the rights to be angry," I tell her, trying not to sound disrespectful. "Neither of us were informed about this wedding. Don't you think it's unfair to us? Anya is my best friend. Everyone knows he loves her she is his mate after all. How can I marry a man in love with my best friend?"

She takes my hand in hers, " Anya doesn't suit our family. She will not fit in with us. We are saving her the trouble, if she marries Atticus, she will not be happy, and none of us will. " She explains. "You are the perfect match in every way. And our families have been friends for a long time now. This is the best match, no one else will suit our sin mire than you."

I bite my bottom lip. I knew that Anya wasn't the right woman for him. I knew that I would suit him better. But he didn't see it like that. And that's what's important. As long as Atticus doesn't see me as the woman he wants to marry, how can I marry him?.
