The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn Chapter 158
BOOK 2 CHAPTER 81
~DAMON~
“Damon!” I hear someone shouting my name. “Son! Wake up!”
Mother. It was her panicked voice. Every part of my body was in pain, and I couldn’t remember
anything.
“Damon!”
I slowly open my eyes and find her standing above me with tears in her eyes.
“Mom.”
She runs a hand down my face, “You’re okay. We are here now.”
“What happened?” I ask as I take a look around me.
Most of the beach house was burnt to the ground, and Atticus was unconscious a few feet away from
me.
“Don’t you remember?” she asks. “Atticus sent us a warning; he told us that Clarissa sent Autumn a
message asking for help. When we arrived, we found the house on fire. After searching, we found you
and Atticus unconscious on the sand.”
At her words, I could feel my mind begin to spin. All of the memories of the fight were returning to me.
Clarissa and I were attacked by men I hadn’t seen before. I tried to protect her from them, I wanted to
prevent them from taking her, but I had failed miserably.

I last remember hearing Clarissa’s screams and then a sudden burst of flames. I was knocked out after
that.
“Where is Clarissa?” I shouted as I pushed myself off the ground. I wince at the sudden ringing in my
head. I ignored the pain as I looked around for her.
Atticus groaned as my father tried waking him.
“We didn’t see no sign of her or Autumn.” She informs me.
“Autumn is missing as well?” I ask her in horror.
What the hell did this mean?
“Why would they take both Autumn and Clarissa?” I demand. “It doesn’t make any sense.”
Unless. . .
A new fear sinks as I realize something I should have done since I first saw that tattoo on those men.
“What is it?” My mother asks me.
“Where’s Autumn?” Atticus demands the second he’s awake and back to his senses.
I held my head as everything started to make sense. I saw something before I lost consciousness,
something that could change all of our lives for good. It wasn’t the first time I’d seen it. It also happened
on the same day that Anya’s mother was killed. I dismissed it back then, but now I realize I should have
looked more into it.
“The dark symbol,” I whisper.
“What did you just say?” Atticus demands, he wasn’t the only one who’s heard me.
“Did you just say the dark symbol?” Griffin asks me.
“I have to be mistaken,” I whisper, trying to find the strength now that I know who’s taken Clarissa from
me.
“What’s wrong, Damon?” Atticus growls. “Would you please f*****g explain what is happening here?
Where is my wife? Where is my sister? Where the hell are they?”
“I saw the dark symbol.” I finally answer him.
“Where did you see it?” He asks. “Who was it on?”
“Clarissa.”
There’s a moment of silence as my answer reaches the ear of everyone around me.
“Clarissa?” My mother asks in disbelief. “What was the dark symbol doing on Clarissa?”
“The fire in the forest,” I say in horror. “An outsider didn’t cause it. That was Clarissa’s doing. She didn’t
know it then. She didn’t understand it. She was so upset that I was getting engaged to Anya that she’d
done that herself. On the day that Anya’s mother died, all of those witches lost their power somehow
and gave us the upper hand. It wasn’t their mistake; it was Clarissa’s power awakening. I’d seen the
symbol back then but thought nothing of it; now I realize I should have paid more attention to it. All of
the signs have always been around.”
“This is insane,” Atticus says as he lifts his head towards the sky. “f*****g insane. Does this mean what
I think it does?”
I nod, “Clarissa is none other than Azai Reign’s daughter. Autumn’s sister. They’ve been sisters, and
none of us knew it.”
“Actually,” Grandfather says as he walks towards us. “Your grandmother and I knew all along who
Clarissa was. It’s why we convinced your parents to adopt her.”
“What?” My mother demands from him. “You knew that Clarissa was a Reign this entire time, and you
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmnever once thought we should know this?”
He nods, “I knew you wouldn’t have adopted her if you’d known the truth. We made a promise to
protect those girls, and it is a promise I intend to keep. I’m glad we accepted Clarissa into our lives; she
brought us joy. It doesn’t matter who her father is; you’re her parents now. You must protect her as
well.”
“I don’t understand.” My father says in shock. “You knew the dangers, and you still chose to protect
her?”
“Is she not your daughter?” He demands from my father. “Would you not give your life for her even after
knowing who her real father is?”
“Of course, I would.” My father growls. “But you should not have kept this a secret from the rest of us.
We should have known the truth. We have a family to protect. What would be done about the f*****g
overlords now that Clarissa is revealed to be a Reign? What are we supposed to do?”
“We don’t have time to fight!” I roar. “Clarissa is missing! My mate is missing! I need to get her back
before I lose my f*****g mind.”
“Your mate?” My mother demands. “You don’t just love her? She’s also your mate?”
I closed my eyes; she was indeed my mate. I hate myself for taking so long to notice who she was to
me.
“The moment Anya died, I knew for sure,” I answered her. “I always had doubts, but when Anya’s spell
completely left my body, I knew Clarissa belonged to me.”
And after joining with her a few hours ago, I knew that I wasn’t f*****g wrong. I was only a few seconds
away from marking her before those bastards took her from me.
“They have Autumn. Once again, they have her.” Atticus says in disbelief. “How the f**k are we going to
find them now?”
