Chapter 39: Chapter 39

ATLAS:

Unfortunately, I had to leave the house without even being able to say goodbye to my princess, she has no idea how much she's missed when she's away from my arms, I can't wait to get home and rub myself in it leaving my scent on her even more.

Right now I'm at Christian's house and I didn't tell Mel that I would come as a precaution, as she would certainly be against it since she is hurt and upset with her father.

But I couldn't leave my father—in—law alone at a time like this, enough of the chaotic state he is in.

I walked around the castle until I found him in his office where he was sitting on the floor surrounded by empty bottles, his appearance was terrible, wrinkled clothes, badly shaved, and messy hair as if they had never seen a comb.

I stand next to the door seeing how bad the situation is, but soon I approach the moment he was taking one of the bottles to his mouth.

— Christian arrives, pass this bottle over here, I'm not going to let you end the rest of your life left— I say taking the bottle that is almost at the end and that contains pure vodka, I could tell just by the smell. The same even tries to get back the bottle, but his attempt fails since I'm faster to dodge.

— I— I need to— He drawls, he's not completely drunk, as we werewolves never get drunk enough to lose control, or just "get high" as humans say.

Wolf thing...

— No, you don't have to! Does Christian fucking see what he's doing to himself? Filling up on drinks while he could be going after his mate's forgiveness. Cara opens her eyes, your female right now is suffering and feeling possibly lonely, is this how you show yourself to be a good male to her? Making her suffer?— I let go of everything at once, already feeling exasperated with the whole situation.

I see the same gulp when being hit by my words, it may even be that I was too harsh, but I also know that this was the touch of reality he needed to start acting like a real male.

he gets up from the ground where he was just now and raises his head in a sign of determination, his gaze shines showing his willpower.

— Not only will I prove to be the best partner and father, but I will also make my two girls feel proud of me— he pats his chest as if he is swearing an oath.

This is my father—in—law!

— Try to start winning back your daughter, Mel will help when you hear everything you're feeling from her mouth, your daughter has a heart worthy of a true princess— I say and I can't help but smile when talking about the reason for my existence.

— I'll do it, my boy, I won't stop apologizing to my little princess and I hope she forgives me— he says tiredly, running his hands over his face.

— I know her well enough to know it won't be easy but don't give up, giving up is for the weak— I lightly pat her on the back in an attempt to give her some comfort.

— Okay, the first step is to regain my little princess's trust, the second is to get my female back, even if I have to become a tamed wolf for that— he says everything with determination, but I see his grimace when he says the last word.

I think we all already are my dear friend— I laughed with my thoughts

We spent a good part of the afternoon talking about possible (and impossible) solutions to his problem, but in the end, we concluded that he simply must be himself, that's right, no lies or omissions, just the pure and fairest truth.

I say goodbye to my friend with a simple wave as I maneuver the car towards my sweet little house, where I will finally find my female.

I'm itching to penetrate her hot, tight depths— I think, snarling just thinking about it.

Rushed out of the car as soon as I arrive, I practically run into the house and instantly smell my female, I start salivating in anticipation, and when I'm finally heading towards where her scent comes I'm stopped by my faithful butler Alfred.

If it was someone else I swear I'd tear the head off just for being in my way, I close my eyes tightly trying to control my wolf who is also almost completely losing his little patience.

I deserve— I think irritably.

— Sir, sorry to interrupt, but I need your help with something— he speaks nervously, and after a moment I start to get worried.

— Is Mel okay?— I need to first confirm that my princess is okay, she is my highest priority.

— Oh yes, of course, she's fine sir, the problem is another— speaks quickly, assuring me of my female's safety.

— So say it— I say and wait for him to start talking.

— The little dog was running around the house and ended up breaking one of the oldest vases in the house, just what your mother will give him— when I hear that I feel like strangling him for disturbing me with something so insignificant.

— Clean everything up and put the Prince in his little house in the backyard, don't let him come in here too much— I say going up the stairs after seeing him nod smiling and withdrawing with a slight bow.

I head towards the room I share with my beautiful princess.

I think I'm going to scare her a little bit, maybe change her mind about that flea— I think smiling imagining his little face irritated by the flea.

— Mel, you don't know what happened— I enter the room already pronouncing myself, I see my female sitting on top of the bed reading one of her countless books.

— What happened dear?— Question worriedly dropping the book beside him on the bed and turning his eyes to me, he seemed to be evaluating me to see if there was any bruise.

— Her dog knocked over a vase that Miss Kath had given me some time ago, I'm sure she'll be upset to hear that it's broken into thousands of pieces now— I think I managed to scare her, the problem is that her reaction was not what was expected, instead of getting mad at the dog, she put her hand on her mouth and countless tears began to come out of her beautiful eyes.

I bitterly regretted the stupid joke and walked towards her in a hurry, pulling her into my arms as quickly as possible.

— Hey, calm down my love, it's just a joke, it's good that he did that, but your mother—in—law will understand that it was unintentional, and another thing there are thousands of vases around the castle— I say desperately trying to soften the situation, but it only results in more crying— fuck calm love, you don't need to cry my princess, I'll do whatever you want to make you stop crying— I say squeezing her even more in my arms, but I'm surprised when a loud laugh comes out of my female's mouth.

Mel laughs heartily for a long time and I stand there looking like a pan trying to understand what was going on.

— Your face was the best— he says still laughing— do you think I'm going to fall for that little Atlas Jackson Martin prank? I already called Kath and she didn't even care, she just said that we should go visit them as soon as possible— she pauses to breathe, but then continues— and Alfred just participated in a little joke that I proposed it myself— she finishes saying, finally giving a mischievous smile.

I think the spell turned against the sorcerer.

— That cheated— I growl crossing my arms and looking sullenly at a still-smiling Mel.

But as much as I try to look sulky I can't, looking at that smile and not smiling back is impossible, that woman must be a witch in the form of a wolf, she can only.

— Silly— throws a pillow at me and throws himself back on the bed staring at the ceiling.

When I'm going to hook up with my female again, someone interrupts us by knocking on the door.

This can only be the plague.

Guess who is? My lovely butler, I'm starting to have second thoughts about our friendship, this guy is one hell of an empath.

— What happened this time, Alfred?— I ask impatiently.

— Sorry again sir, but I have to inform you that Dr. Sueli asked me to tell Mrs. Mel, that you are supposed to go get some more pills at the hospital— said Alfred, reminding me of that damn doctor and from my little frame.

— I can stop by my princess, you don't have to worry— I speak quickly, I can't help but feel a little nervous about the situation.

— No dear, I'll go myself, I don't want the same thing that happened last time to happen— I freeze when I hear his sentence.

Did she find out?

— What happened last time?— I ask swallow don't dare the courage to look her in the eyes at that moment.

Holy shit I'm fucked!
