The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn

~ALARIC~

It was the next day. I hadn't slept at all last night. All I could think about was Clara out on a date with another man. It made me mad to the point that I punched the wall a couple of times until I saw blood. It was healed now but fuck, my heart hadn't healed at all.

I made sure to make it to class early today. I had plenty to ask her about her date, that is, if she would tell me about it.

However, when it was five minutes into the class, and she didn't show up, I could feel my anxiousness growing. Even her friend Jenna was here, but still, there was absolutely no sign of her.

Did she return home late last night? Was that why she couldn't wake up in time to make it to my class?

Damn it. I wouldn't know until she walked in that door and told me everything I needed to know.

I kept my eyes on it the entire time, waiting for her, but she never showed up. I spent the entire class just looking out for her. I was sure that plenty of students must have noticed that even though I answered all of their questions pertaining to the topic today, I was still not completely focused.

"Class is dismissed," I announce before the bell can signal the end of it. Everyone looks at each other in confusion, but I don't wait for them to exit. I'm the first to walk out the door.

Where the fuck could she be? I hated when I couldn't see her; it was even worse knowing she went somewhere last night with a fucking random male that may or may not have put his hands on her.

I angrily barge into my office, ready to call Scarlett and find out where the hell her sister was. However, I was surprised when I found the woman I was searching for sitting on my desk with her legs folded seductively.

I don't think I've ever seen her look at me this way before. She's usually shy, but this time, she looked like she was ready to devour me. It made my dick stir in my pants.

Fuck. It shouldn't be doing anything like that, especially after I got another woman pregnant. I had enough troubles already; I shouldn't add any more to that list.

"What are you doing in here?" I ask her, stopping myself from asking the one question I truly wanted to ask.

"I came to offer what I said I would just yesterday." She answers me.

I frown. She can't possibly speaking about what she told me in my office. She couldn't be serious about offering her body to me. She meant more to me than that. I wouldn't use her for my pleasure; I wanted much more than that from Clara. However, I couldn't deny the strong need to take exactly what she was offering to me. It was hard to say no to a woman like her. I wanted to drop to my knees and give her everything she ever wanted and more.

"And what did you offer yesterday?" I growl. I had to hear her say it.

"You really don't remember?" She asks me with narrowed eyes. She even looked a bit offended that I couldn't remember.

"I would like to know why you missed my class today, Clara," I tell her as I fix her with my penetrating gaze. She looks slightly affected by it but tries to ignore it.

"I didn't feel like attending." She says which only makes me angry.

Why would she not feel like attending? She was usually a good student who played by all the rules. Why was she acting like this? It was throwing me off-guard.

"You didn't feel like attending?" I growl. "Does it have something to do with your date last night?"

Her eyes twinkle at the mention of her date, and it makes me even angrier.

"I didn't think you would remember my date." She says in a teasing manner. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

"Why are you taking this for a joke?" I growl. "None of this is funny to me, Clara. Who the fuck did you go on a date with last night? Does he go to this academy? Is he in my class? Who is he?"

I knew I should have kept my mouth shut, but this drove me insane. I had to know. I wanted to rip his head out of his body. I didn't think it was possible to hate someone I knew nothing about, but it turned out that it was possible when it was someone that Clara was dating.

"I'm not taking anything for a joke." She snaps. "You're the one that kissed me, then disappeared the same day, and after a few days showed up again but only to let your ex-wife back into your home and in your bed. To me, it seems that you're the one that finds everything funny. Why else will you play with my feelings like that?"
