Rejected Their Broken Luna Chapter 204: Chap-204*Sharing A Bed*

Cynthia Dion:

"Atticus!" I reached out and took hold of his arm, turning him around. He had tears in his eyes.

"Hey! Don’t tell me you're crying because you think you shouldn’t be siding with me," I tried to inject some humor, but he freed his arm, sat on the couch, and once again hid his face in his hands.

"Atticus! You're starting to worry me. Tell me what's going on?" I sat down with him and held his hands to uncover his face.

"I'm sorry!" He whispered, stealing glances from me. "For the things I did to you. The ---sexual stuff, the humiliation--I'm sorry!" He started crying like a child. Witnessing the Alpha in tears, sobbing while holding my hand, as if pleading for forgiveness, left me in shock.

It was a difficult moment. Just thinking about it made me look away for a moment, until I realized I had done worse to his sister.

"It's okay. You thought I was this disgusting person who had hurt your sister. Your anger was justified," I said, but he shook his head in response.

"I'm sorry because I was weak," he rephrased his apology, and my forehead creased in a frown. "Cynthia! I kept asking myself why I would get so angry that I would do those things to you when, in reality, I couldn’t bring myself to do any harm to you. There was this weird resistance in my body to harm you, almost like somebody was trying to control me," once he explained the condition, visible goosebumps appeared on my body.

"He was trying to control you, wasn’t he?" I gasped, "That’s why you were unconsciously so afraid of him. But because you were an Alpha, he couldn’t completely control you, and you finally broke through," I said, understanding why Zeon failed to control Atticus.

I had a flashback from the time when he would suddenly change. I also remember that he was also in the process of getting controlled but because he was an alpha, it didn’t happen and before it went too far, the ritual had rescued him.

"I didn’t know why he would randomly ask me to join him in his academy and take some classes, but after that, I would feel out of control. But unlike you, I was aware of what my wolf was doing. The only thing similar was that I couldn’t stop my wolf entirely, but then I would always think maybe my wolf punished you until my wolf broke free and told me that he didn’t want to hurt you. We didn’t know what happened or how we ended up hurting you so much, but I just feel bad now. It was Mr. Holt always doing those things to you via me," he said, sounding guilty and angry at the same time.

Of course, Mr. Holt tried controlling the Alpha, but when it didn’t work, he gave up. But that raised another question in my head.

"What about you marking me and taking my virginity?" I asked, and he swiftly turned his face towards me to look me in the eye and say confidently.

"That was me; I did that," he finished, and it comforted my heart. I would have never wanted to have my first time with him because he was hypnotized.

"Atticus! I forgive you; I forgave you when you redeemed yourself. Knowing you didn’t even do all that with your conscience just makes me deem you not guilty," I said calmly, a few tears of happiness forming in my eyes.

"I have always loved you like hell; I am so glad I didn’t do that," he said, expressing what he truly felt. "But I will punish that jerk for playing with our lives." Even Atticus didn’t know why Mr. Holt played such a nasty game and ruined so many lives.

"Well, he will get punished, but can you come to bed now? This couch is too small for you," I laughed, elbowing him playfully.

"And now you are realizing that? I have my whole ass feet dangling down every night," he let out a little laugh and got up with me to reach the bed.

"Ahh! My bed feels so good," he said, jumping in the bed, making me fly up and come down with giggles escaping my lips. Things were falling back to normal, but what about Mr. Holt? I cannot even use his sextape with Mara for now because he can just say he was hypnotized, and I will get blamed for it by Maleeka.

"You know what?" Atticus dragged me back to reality. "You are stronger than other omegas; are you sure your wolf hasn’t hidden that from you as well?" He asked, and I shook my head. "My mother was an omega, actually, and so was my father." That was enough to know that I was also an omega.

"Oh! You are still strong," he said, shrugging his shoulders while lying on his right side and facing me. We were in bed, facing each other silently, when I felt his leg against mine from under the blanket. I didn’t say anything and kept looking him in the eye.

"Cynthia!" he said my name to get my attention, even when he knew my attention was only on him.

"Hm?" I voiced it softly.

"When all this is over and Mr. Holt is punished for his sins, what will you do?" His question was very interesting. He wanted to know my plans for us because we had been through stuff in the past.

"I have thought about it many times. I was thinking of moving out of this pack and finding a place somewhere else. I will give private exams and then get a job," as I was talking, the smile on his lips was long gone.

He looked not only hurt but out of the mood, too.

"And then maybe I will find a mate. Trust me, ---," I hadn’t finished when he cleared his throat to speak up.

"You will find a mate?" He repeated my statement to me to make sure I knew what I was talking about.
