Chasing The Rejected

Chapter 139 -CLARA- "We have to give him the girl before he harms any more people "The elderly man uttered as he turned to my uncle whose eyes were still glued to the screen just like mine.

"I'm not giving out my niece to that monster" He replied through clenched teeth.

"She is one of them, she is a monster so I don't see how giving her to him is going to be a problem" The elderly uttered, earning a grunt from my uncle.

"She is not a monster, she is my niece and my brother's daughter. You all remembered what happened to my brother. We condemned him just like what you're all trying to do to his daughter and how did that turn out for us? We have grown weak without him and we're only going to get weaker unless we start doing the right thing. My brother madepromise to bring his daughter here and have her take over his place as the leader and I intend to keep that promise" My uncle said without taking his eyes off the screen and I didn't say anything either.

Everyone went quiet till the elderly man sighed.

"We allowed you to bring her here and we have been helping you watch over her because we are trying to honor your brother's dying wish but the fact still remains that she's a wolf and that's what we are fighting against. Do you think anyone is going to take us seriously if they find out our leader is a wolf?" The man questioned and everyone there hummed in agreement.

"It doesn't matter. We are not hunting down these beings to be recognized or applauded. We are doing it to save our kind and with the plan we have, we are this close to achieving it" He told them, makingfrown.

"You didn't askwhat I wanted, uncle" I finally said as I reluctantly tore my eyes away from the screen and turned to him.

"You don't know what you want. You're blinded by your infatuation with that man and that's what you can't think for yourself" He said, makingscoff.

"Infatuation? I'm pregnant for him and he's my husband. I'm in love with him and no matter what, I'll always stand by my you hurt my kind if I husband's side. Havingas your leader will do you more harm than good because I would never let can help it. I do not wish to be your leader, I do not wish to be here. I wish to be with my husband" I told him and he frowned.

"I'll have to agree with her. She..." "I don't care what any of you think. As the leader, my words are final and you're staying here" He uttered with so much authority that a chill ran down my spine.

I didn't know Humans were capable of exuding such authority.

"If you don't letgo to him, Damon is going to kill all the humans he can lay his hands on. Are you willing to risk all those lives just to keephere?" I questioned and he nodded without hesitation.

"You all don't understand how much I blmyself for what happened to my brother. To me, you're my redemption. I have to do right by you in order to get rid of this guilt that has been gnawing at my soul" He explained and I frowned before turning back to the screen and saw that Damon had slaughtered three more humans.

"I understand you but it doesn't change what I want. If I don't get to Damon, you won't have any more humans to take care of by the end of today. Do you want that?" I questioned as I turned back to him.

"We are running out of time. We have to let her go to him" The elderly man uttered but my uncle didn't turn to him and just kept staring at me.

1/3 ter 140 ☐☐:85% "And if I say no? If I still want to keep you here after everything?" He questioned and I shook my head.

"I can't stay here. Even if I have to fight my way out of here then I'll do it just to get to my husband. He needsright now and the more twe waste, the more humans die. Do you want that?" I questioned as I stared intently into his eyes.

It was almost like I could see the wheels spinning in his head.

"Get the car and smen, we are going to meet that monster" He ordered and my heart immediately swelled with happiness.

They immediately carried out his order and I hadn't unpacked my luggage so it was packed and ready to go. My uncle didn't say a word totill we got into the car and drove towards where Damon was.

There were several cars following behind us and the weapons alone in this car madefrown. It just maderealize how at that mercy I had been.

I couldn't help but wonder how my mother felt knowing she was the only wolf in the midst of Hunters.

I don't know how long the journey was but by the tthe car cto a halt, the sun was about to set. I had slept off midway and was awoken by soft taps on my cheek.

"You'll have to work from here. We have surveyed the area and he has men at every corner. Will it be okay to walk?" He questioned and I immediately nodded as I wiped my eyes.

"I'm okay. Don't worry about me" I murmured then was about to climb out of the car when he grabbed my hand.

"If you go to him now, I won't be able to take you under my wing anymore and you'll have to face the sfate as that rest wolf. Is that what you want?" He questioned and I smiled slightly as I stared at him.

"I will stand by my husband and my people no matter what. I'm going to becQueen Luna soon after all. It was nice getting to know that I had a relative that was stiXalive but I don't appreciate the fact that you keptaway from Damon. Hopefully next twhen we meet, one of us wouldn't be dying so we can talk properly then" I told him then flashed him another smile before climbing out of the car and pulling my luggage along with Mr as I hurriedly traced Damon's scent. Every other thought vanished from my head and all I could think about was Damon. I couldn't wait to see him.

I stopped in my tracks as soon as my eyes landed on Damon. He was still sitting on the hood of a car with a bottle of alcohol in his eyes.

I watched as he took a swing of that bottle before turning towards the human that was shaking with fear as he stared at Damon.

"Damon!" I screamed as loud as I could before he could yanked out the human's heart.

At that moment, everything seemed to stand still as we both stared into each other's eyes. It was almost like we couldn't believe we were seeing one another.

After a few seconds, Damon jumped off the hood, threw the bottle on the ground, smashing it into pieces as he ran towards me.

I immediately let go of my luggage as I ran up to him as well. He opened his arms wide forand as soon as I buried my body in his embrace, I let out the tears I've been holding in.

"Fuck I missed you so much, my wife.

I missed you so damn much" He murmured as he peppered kisses on my face and only when he placed his lips on mine did I taste his tears. He was crying as well. My hold on him tightened and at the moment, we didn't care about who was watching. All we cared about was the fact that we were finally back together.

I was finally home....
