Chapter 63: Chapter 63

ATLAS:

I stare fixedly at the male who was the cause of my female's kidnapping and I feel him shudder when he realizes that I'm not here to joke.

— What are you doing here?— he asks fearfully, trying to appear calm, but I notice his hands starting to shake and it was obvious that he was afraid.

I walk past him into the house and take in everything around me, all that shit I gave to him, I took him into my kingdom as one of my own family to be stabbed in the back in the most cowardly way possible.

— You know very well why I'm here— I stare at him seriously— the only thing I want to know before I rip your throat out is why you did it, and don't pretend to be innocent because we know you're not— I conclude and I make it clear that I know the whole truth, I realized that he was right from the moment I saw his reaction.

— I don't know what the Supreme is talking about— he replies lowering his eyes and sitting down on the sofa he was next to.

I slowly walk towards him feeling Klaus cry out for release, wanting to tear the traitor's body apart, wanting blood like he had never wanted before.

He separated us from our female, he has to pay!

— I won't repeat it, I want the truth now, or I swear I'll torture you until there's not a limb left— I growl in his direction with my supreme voice, feeling my being asking for blood, the blood of that bastard.

— Please kill me in the worst way you can think of and dispose of my body, but don't tell my girls who I am, I beg Atlas I beg you not to make them hate me— and he does what I say least imagined, kneels at my feet with her hands together while crying copiously.

— Should I have thought of that before?— I say ironically and take one of my hands to his throat lifting him and keeping him suspended in the air— what do you think Mel will think when he finds out?— I squeeze his neck tighter and I feel an uncontrollable urge to strangle him.

Fuck just imagining how disappointed my female will be.

I take my hands off him when I see that he is lacking air, because it would not be enough to kill him like that, I want his blood flowing at my feet and feel the pleasure of ending this worm.

— I didn't... not that... I wanted that to happen, I started to love that girl as if she were my daughter, I can't even imagine her being hurt by me— she chokes on her first words, but manages to keep her voice clear.

— Who orders to kidnap the one he considers his daughter? Who lies and pretends to be what they are not and still says they don't mean to hurt— I run a hand nervously through my hair and sigh in exasperation.

— In the beginning, I could even want that, but I met her Atlas I saw with my own eyes how good and kind that girl is, I tell you from the bottom of my soul how much I regret everything— clasp hands in fists and shakes his head in denial.

— Yes I know how amazing my female is and that's why I want to know about why he allied himself with vampires, why Mel was kidnapped, and especially what led him to do these things— I answer approaching again and crouching beside him— NOW PIETRO— I command in a growl punching the coffee table that was on his side when I saw him standing there just looking at me.

— Ester worked in my house taking care of my wife who was a human and unfortunately, she was very sick to the point of being bedridden — her bitter gaze falls on her hands as if she were remembering a distant time — the girl was like a sister to my wife, always helping her and doing as much as possible for her.

I think about what he told me, probably Pietro didn't know how much Ester despised his female and had her as if she were an angel in their lives, and unfortunately it was quite the opposite.

— One day Ester showed up at our sparkling house as if she was overflowing with happiness, she wanted to surprise the father of her puppy and asked me to help with that and I did it— she murmurs as if she is trying to control her emotions— he shouldn't have done it, that bastard tricked her and used it to, in the end, simply say that he didn't want her or the child for having found the true mate— I shake my head in denial when I see how much the male was believing in a false truth which that female made him think was real.

Did he think Esther was innocent in the story?

— Keep going— encouragement when I noticed his pause, fuck if that was hard for him, I just want this traitor to say everything soon and hope that my princess doesn't cry because of you, because if that happens...

— Ester took her own life shortly after the birth of her daughter, and that directly affected my wife who, upon losing her dear friend, fell into a deep sadness and died soon after— thick tears fall from her eyes as if she couldn't to avoid it, I even feel compassion for his loss, after all, he was his companion— it was on that day that I swore I would end the life of the one who deceived an innocent woman, taking away her purity and simply leaving her to her mercy with a baby in her belly.

That female deceived everyone, she manipulated and made the situation turn in her favor even after she was dead, of course, she knew that Pietro's female was so dependent on her to the point of not being able to maintain herself without the one she thought would take care of herself.

An enraged Pietro would seek revenge and destroy everything that Christian and Elisabeth had built, and this is what led him to ally himself with the vampires and kidnap Mel. He, like many others, was just a pawn in Esther's hands.

— I won't kill him Pietro— I say and see his astonishment, even I would be surprised on another occasion— not yet at least, I want you to read this first— I take the diary that I had put in one of the pockets of my jacket and hand it to you— I have a feeling that reading all this will make you feel enough pain that not even death would be as torturous as seeing the truth come out and realizing how miserable your life has become for the one you didn't deserve— I finish turning around to leave, I urgently needed to clear my head and forget what had happened here.

— Why... Why are you saying that?— he asks confused, staring at the diary that is already under his hands.

— Read it first and you'll find out— I say seriously turning around and leaving the house right after.

I know he deserves a good spanking, but I wouldn't do that because Mel has him as a grandfather or a second father, it wouldn't be right to hurt my princess that way.

She will already have so many disappointments— I think feeling an enormous regret, apart from the desire to go back and finish off the race of the one who would hurt her.

Not that I'm going to leave him unpunished, because that I really wouldn't do, he would pay for everything he's done sooner or later, but for now, I want you to understand with your conscience.

I run my hand nervously through my hair, messing up the strands even more, and feeling a crazy desire to pull them out to see if it appeases my hatred.

I choose to go somewhere before returning home, to try to calm my mind so that my female does not see me in this state.

I need to punch something, urgent!
