Chasing The Rejected

Chapter 120 -DAMON- I glanced at Clara who was seated on the couch in my study. She had insisted that she would wait to watch overjust in case Luca or Delilah cto talk to me. She didn't trustto be reasonable.

"How are you so sure they're going to come?" I questioned as I turned to her and she lifted up her eyes from the book she was reading and turned to me.

"I'm not sure but just in case. I'm not going to let you lose your cool again" She toldand I chuckled before pushing my chair back, standing up and walking towards her.

I took the book out of her and she glared at me.

"I was reading that" She uttered and I chuckled before leaning down to place a kiss on the tip of her nose.

"I can't work properly because of your s**y a** I muttered and she squealed as I peppered her neck and face with kisses.

7 I stopped suddenly when I caught Luca and Delilah's scent.

seat.

"They are coming" I announced as I straightened up then walked back to my As soon as I sat down, Delilah walked into the room and behind her was Luca.

"Damon, we need to talk to you" Delilah uttered and I averted my eyes to Luca. His face was still bruised up but the majority of the injuries had healed. Did I punch him that hard? "What about? I'm busy" I uttered and Clara immediately cleared her throat and when I turned to her she was glaring atwhich madesigh.

"What is it?" I questioned as I turned back to Delilah.

"Your actions towards us haven't been fair, Damon. You cannot give Luca such a ridiculous ultimatum. Why are you doing this?" Delilah questioned and I tilted my head at her.

"Well you weren't the one I gave the ultimatum, were you?" I questioned and she 1/4 Hareil at me.

"So what's it going to be, Laica? My sister or your position?” I interrupted her as I turned towards Luca who hadn't said a word since he got here, "But Damon..." "It's okay, Delilah" Lauca interjected before she could say anything else then smiled at her before moving closer to my desk.

We stared at each other for a while before he bowed his head.

"Giving up Delilah was never an option I'd rather lose my position than lose her, Alpha" He said and Delilah gasped before grabbing his hand.

"But Luca..." "It's okay. Having you is more than enough for me" He replied before placing a kiss on her forehead and I frowned. It felt so weird seeing them like this although I always suspected it, I just never gave it much thought.

I turned to Clara and she had afrown on her face so I smiled at her to put her at ease.

"And when you find your fated mate, what then?" I questioned as I turned back to them and they both seemed shocked by my question.

"What? Cat got your tongue?" I questioned earning another glare from Clara.

"The love Luca and I share is so much stronger than a mate bond" Delilah said and I scoffed.

"And how would you know that when you haven't found your mate?" I questioned and she frowned.

"I would know because I've met my mate but I rejected her" The whole room fell silent as soon as Luca said that. "When?" I questioned, not being able to believe him.

"She was at the retreat you had sentto last year. She was the daughter of Alpha Magnus. I was already madly in love with Delilah at that tbut I knew you 2/4 ||| ☐ wouldn't accept my relationship with her so I try my best to fall for my mate and of course the mate bond was there but I at night, Delilah was the one I thought of so I rejected her to save her from the heartache so she could meet her a second chance mate if the moon goddess is kind enough to give her" He informed us and to say I was shock was an understatement.

Even though Clara and I hadn't got off on the right foot when we met, no matter how hard I tried I didn't have the balls to reject her and now I couldn't even think of my life without her. For him to reject his fated mate for my sister, that meant...

"I didn't know that. You didn't tell me" Delilah murmured as she stared up at him with tears in her eyes.

“I didn't think there was any need to besides, it was a long tago" Luca responded as he wiped away the tears that had trickled down her cheeks.

"What if you find a mate, Delilah?" I questioned and she didn't even bother turning to me.

"I'll reject him. I cannot love anyone more than I love Luca and if you want to cin between our love then we'll gladly get out of your hair" She uttered before turning toand I rolled my eyes. Why did she have to be so tic? 9 "It was fun being your right hand man and friend, Damon" Luca uttered as he bowed his head again and I scoffed.

"What? So our friendship didn't mean anything to you? You didn't even try to fight for your position" I muttered and his eyes widened.

"But..."

"Whatever. I don't want to ever see you guys making out in front of me, m okay? And if Delilah distracts you ve from doing your work, I wouldn't be happy, okay?" I said and they both stared atwith confusion on their faces. "I don't understand what's going on" Luca voiced and Clara sk**d over to us and placed her hand on my shoulder.

"What my darling husband is trying to say is that he approves of your

relationship with one another and you don't have to stop being his Beta because of that she uttered and the surprised look on Delilah's and Luca's face brought a smile to mine. 3/4

1 grimaced as Delilah squealed before she jumped into Luca's arms and at that moment, Clara wrapped my arms around my shoulders and placed a kiss on my check. "I'm so proud of you, Damon" She murmured and I grinned before turning to her.

"How about you showhow proud you are in the bedroom tonight?" I questioned and she rolled her eyes.

"When will you stop thinking with your d**k?" She questioned and I tilted my head.

"With you? Never"...
