-CLARA-

| rolled my eyes when | heard Damon growl for the twentieth tsince | started cleaning up Liam’s wounds.

“Will you stop that?” | questioned without turning to him and he let out a groan.

“I don’t know why you have to be the one to clean him up. There's Amelia, Luca and even the maids here” He

grumbled and I just rolled my eyes but said nothing.

“This bringsback to old times” Liam suddenly uttered and | closed my eyes when Damon growled again.

“Okay that’s enough, leave him alone or I'm going to beat him up again” Damon uttered as he grabbed onto my

arm and pulledaway from Damon. | didn’t protest this tbecause | knew Damon was close to blowing up.

“Look | don’t fucking care if you're sick or if you're dying today. I'm sure as hell not going let you stay here with

my wife” Damon muttered as he glared down at Liam and | couldn't tell if he glaring back because one of his

eyes was swollen shut.

“I heard that Sebastian is targeting Clara now because he knows she’s your weakness” Liam suddenly said and

everyone went quiet before | turned to Damon who's expression had turned ice cold.

“How do you know that?” Damon questioned and Liam let out a light chuckle.

“How do | know? It’s the talk of the town. We werewolves are all involved in this war so news spreads like

wildfire. Sebastian wants you dead and there's only one way to tthe ever so magnificent death viper. As a

matter of fact, all your enemies are after her and you'll be surprised to know how many packs are against you

and want you dead so no one is willing to help you in this fight, you might just be alone” Liam uttered and |

frowned. “You all are ungrateful! Do you really think after Sebastian kills him, he won't cafter the whole wolf

race?!” | questioned as anger began to build up within me.

Damon grabbed onto my hand, makingturn my attention to him. He smiled slightly atthen shook his

head, wordlessly calmingdown. “Do you know what your husband did to them? He destroyed lives, Clara”

Liam uttered and | turned to him with a glare.

“Do you know he can stay here withand we'll let the rest of you rot in hell? He can but he chooses to save

the rest of you” | told him and was this close to clawing out his eyes.

“Clara, that’s enough. Don’t exchange words with him and | don’t need their help to win, okay?” Damon uttered

as he held my hand tight.

“Well luckily for you, I'm on your side. | know that Sebastian is an immortal now and as much as | don’t like you,

you're the only one that can kill him. Plus, | want to help you protect Clara. | won't let her get caught up in this”

He uttered and | could feel Damon getting angry again.

“What happens to Clara shouldn't be any of your business. Besides, she’s safe here. Sebastian won't be able to

get in” Damon uttered and Liam scoffed in response.

“But what if he does get in? The witches are on his side, Damon. Do you really think your buddy Romeo will be

able to protect her? He hasn't trained in years and has gotten lazy” Liam uttered.

“So what are you implying, Liam? That you'll stay here and protect my wife?” Damon questioned and he nodded.

“Regardless of what you think of me, I'm one of the strongest Alphas around. My men will train with yours while |

stay here and guard your wife” He stated and Damon let out a humorless laugh.

“I'd rather take her back hwiththan let you stay here with her” Damon said to him and Liam let out a

scoff.

“So you'd rather have her get killed than letprotect her? Shows just how much you love her” Liam retorted

angering Damon more. He was about to pounce on Liam when | stood in front of him.

“Go, | can take care of myself” | said to him and he frowned. “Clara...”

“Don’t you trust me?” | questioned and he sighed.

“Of course | trust you but...”

“Then trustto handle myself. Even if he has bad intentions, | will handle him don’t want you wasting your

there when you should be handling the situation. You said one week and if you're not over by that time, I'll

cfind you” | said to him while staring directly into his eyes and he sighed.

“Why does he have to stay here with you?” He questioned softly and | smiled as | raised my hand to caress his

face.

“Because | don’t trust him. | don’t want him blabbing out my whereabouts to anyone and making things harder

for you so keeping him here is the safest option” | explained and Theard Liam scoff behind me.

“You always seeas the villain” He commented but | totally ignored him and just stared at Damon.

“I'll call you everyday or text you and If | don’t get a reply back, I'll cget you” Damon uttered and | nodded.

“I'll be waiting for your call and messages everyday. If | don’t get it, I'll cto you. One week, okay?” |

murmured and he nodded before wrapping his arms aroundtightly.

“One week. | have to leave before the sun comes out” He toldand | sighed.

“Then get going, I'll be okay” | muttered even though we both knew | was just lying. How the hell was I going to

be okay when | knew he was going out there to fight for his life?

“Let's get going Luca” He said as he pulled away. | followed him out of the house with our hands intertwined as |

walked him towards the car. “Make sure you eat and get enough rest. Do not worry abouttoo much, okay?”

He said toand | nodded but said nothing because | knew if | opened my mouth, | would cry.

Damon pressed his lips against mine and let his kiss linger. | hated that way this kiss felt like a goodbye kiss.

| grabbed onto his shirt and he let out a chuckle before pulling away.

“See you later, my love” He murmured then one last kiss on my forehead before getting into the car.

| don’t know how long I stood there till Aunt Amelia brought out a blanket and placed it on my shoulder.

“Are you okay?” She questioned and | shook my head as tears rolled down my cheeks.

He was gone...
