Chapter 17: Chapter 17

ATLAS:

It's me and Mel standing in front of her house in the car, I had stopped the car, so she couldn't get out, and now I'm at this exact moment asking or rather begging that evil princess to take her things home and live with me

(Why doesn't she just take it and live happily ever after?)

the difficult woman

— Atlas, I promise I'll take care of myself, now let me in because I'll have to go get my cart today — she says crossing her arms and making her breasts jump and thus getting my complete attention to her beautiful and beautiful breasts

— Let me take you there my princess — I say still looking at those wonders, I desire to envelop them with my hands, sucking them strongly while she melts in my arms

— We've already talked about this Atlas, you have your obligations as I have mine, you can't follow me everywhere I go. Now stop drying my breasts!— He starts talking to me like I'm a spoiled child and then ends up scolding me with a sideways smile

I raise my hands in surrender and look into his eyes again.

— Okay, you won, but I want you to go with the security guards and call me if anything happens — I say now looking seriously into her eyes, when it comes to my princess's safety I don't play around

— Do what, huh?— Now come here and give me a kiss that only my male knows how to give — she said biting her lips and looking at me with a hungry look

I pull her making her sit on my lap with one leg on either side of my hip, I squeeze her thighs and put my hand on her neck pulling her into a strong and passionate kiss

My tongue does not ask for passage and simply enters your mouth without warning, I feel your hands in my hair as we kiss passionately

My wife managed to be delicate and at the same time fiery, she moved in my lap desperately as if she wanted more contact with my body

I broke the kiss when I felt that someone was already more than excited, as much as I want to have her in my arms, this is not the right place for our first time.

— Princess, I think we better stop before this kiss becomes something more intense, — I said with my forehead against hers, while breathing deeply.

— I think so too... Well, I better get going, bye darling — he says, giving me a measly peck, unlocking the car, and leaving through the driver's door.

I stand still like a lovesick fool watching her go towards her house, wave to me and go inside right after

I only leave after making it clear to the security guards that if something happens to her, I'll kill her one by one, even if I have to go to Inferno to do it.

I arrive at my castle and Albert comes running towards me

— Supreme we found a trace of someone else's blood other than those killed on the shore, we did a procedure that indicates that the blood is Philip — I am petrified to hear that name, Philip was one of my best men and has always been very loyal to his people

— Are you sure about that, Albert? — I said trying to confirm what I heard

— Absolutely, sir—he said, giving a little smile that I found particularly ridiculous.

— I don't want them to do anything with him without first being completely sure that this is correct, now call a meeting with all the Alphas for tomorrow and order them to bring their respective companions — I said turning my back and heading towards my office, more I stop before entering — bring Philip to my office immediately — I speak and enter the office sitting in my chair

(There's so much going on at once that my head feels like it's exploding, I have to take care of some bureaucratic Pack business, but I feel overly concerned about Mel)I think, running my hands over my temples.

(It's not just you who's worried)— I hear the voice of someone I haven't seen in a long time, Klaus

(Where have you been, buddy?) I ask curious

(Where do you think I've been? I was busy taking care of my partner)— he said taking one with my face

(OUR companion my dear friend, OUR!) I said, raising my voice as I spoke our

(Okay, she's OURS, but seriously, you could convince her to take a walk with us in wolf form)— the bastard wants to mate with my mate's wolf in every possible way, I don't judge him because I want to too

(Maybe one day, now we have to focus on our mate's safety and this psycho killer)—I speak seriously to him

(I see, I'll do my best to try to find some other evidence, I honestly don't think a man like Philip would be capable of something as inhumane as killing a baby)— it amazes me that he has the same thesis that I have on this subject, I don't think Philip would be capable of it either

I head over to my drinks counter and pour myself a glass of whiskey.

(I had already killed thousands and thousands of — people— but I never killed innocent people, my years of life were marked by a lot of pain and discord but never by cowardice, I can't change my past I can only start planning my future)

I come out of my daydreams when I hear a knock on the door, I knew it was Albert, he learned his lesson

— Come in, — I say in my commanding voice.

He entered, being followed by a Philip tied to a silver chain.

But what...

— I don't remember having him brought in tied up, Albert, — I snarl furiously at his boldness as I look in his direction.

He looks scared at first but soon disguises it.

— I thought…— I cut him off.

— You just have to think when I tell you to think, I simply gave the order to bring him here — not to tie him up, now try to loosen that crap — I say making a face at those chains, I had already been tortured in a way very cruel way with not one but several silver chains

I see him look at me with a look similar to hate and I give a mocking smile, since we were little we never got along for me, he wouldn't even be my beta, but the prophecy indicated it and I couldn't do anything

When Philip is finally released, I speak

— Sit down Philip, we have to talk — I say while giving Albert a look from the outside, he understands and leaves

— Why am I being accused of something that we know Atlas didn't commit? — he asks, already sitting down, looking nervous

— I know you wouldn't be able to do that, that's why I called you before being summoned to the meeting — I said trying to comfort you in some way

— Meeting? Will I be judged for something I didn't do?— she asked, shifting.

— Calm down Philip, let's find a solution to this — I say adjusting myself in my chair

— Calm? I have a daughter and a partner to take care of, how do you think my daughter will react when she is identified as the daughter of a criminal who betrayed her people?— He's right, this is a very difficult situation.

— That's why you must go to this meeting that will take place tomorrow, you have to be there to prove not only to me but to everyone that you are innocent — I say with conviction

— I will, — he says tiredly.

— Remember to bring Amanda and Bianca, — I tell him.

— Why do I have to bring my partner and daughter? — he says suspiciously

— Mel, my companion plans something, she wants all the Lunas here on the day of the meeting and since you will also be here, bring your companion — I spoke calmly

— Ok — he got up and held out his hand — congratulations on the companion and thank you my friend — I stand up and shake his hand firmly

— Nothing — I say watching him go to the door — Philip — I call him before he leaves — I will try everything to help — you my friend — I speak sincerely and receive a weak smile in return

When he leaves I keep thinking about what is going to happen at this meeting, I want to know what my beautiful princess is planning, I just hope she doesn't give me a short or tight outfit, with this flock of hawks here it's better to be safe, I think I'll buy an outfit for her and have someone take it

I'm sure she will love it!
