Chasing The Rejected

Chapter 41 -CLARA- 69% I had to apologize to the manager and promise to replace the table Damon had broken before leaving the shop that day. I know for sure that I was going to be the topic for the whole week.

| a I took a deep sigh before climbing into the car and Luca smiled atfrom the driver's seat.

*Hey Madam Clara" He greeted and I acknowledged him with a smile before stealing a glance at Damon who was staring up ahead.

Yes I know I overreacted but anyone in my shoe would have reacted the sway... right? | Luca started the car and as we drove back to the house, Damon didn't say a word toand I was started to feel nervous for sreason, "Why didn't you accept it? That's why we are doing this in the first place night? If you accepted it the we'll both go out separate ways just like you wanted, right?" questioned while staring at him and he turned towith a raised eyebrow.

"So you're saying you wantto becthe Alpha King now? Okay then" He uttered then turned and I scoffed before glancing out the window with a frown.

"See? You're angry again" He pointed out and I shook my head.

"Why would I be angry? I have no reason to be angry" I muttered then shrieked when he dragged my hand and pulledtowards him so I was resting my back on his chest.

We stared into each other's eyes for a while and I tried reading what he was thinking but couldn't.

"Why didn't you accept it?" I questioned softly while still staring into his eyes. I didn't know what I was expecting him to say but I wanted any form if assurance at that point.

"Because I'm not ready for that responsibility yet" He muttered and I furrowed my eyebrows at him.

“That's a lie, just say you're not ready to giveup yet I uttered and he rolled his eyes but I could see the smile on his lips.

"Think whatever makes you happy, Clara" He murmured and I smiled before wrapping my arms around his shoulder and we stayed in that position till we got to the house.

got out of the car first then waited for Damon. He got out of the car snd immediately grabbed onto my hand.

I smiled up at him then leaned into him as we walked into the mansion. My body tensed up when I noticed Alicia staring at us from a distance but I pretended like I couldn't see her. She wasn't going to spoil my mood right now. "You'll work forstarting tomorrow" Damon uttered as turned toand my eyes widened.

"What? Why?" I questioned and he let go of my hand to grab onto my cheek.

"Because I have to keep an eye on you and this mood swings if yours. Why are you acting like you don't want to be by my side all the time?" He muttered and I scoffed.

throat" I joked and he grinned before leaning down and placing a kiss on my lips.

"That sounds like torture, I'd rather yank out my my own throat" "As much as I'd like to fuck the truth out of you, I have a meeting to attend to now and I'm already late because my wife loves throwing tantrums" He murmured against my lips and laughed out of embarrassment.

11:38 Tue, 2 Jul Chapter 41 "When will you be back?” I questioned as I grabbed onto his hand before he could walk away and he tilted his head at me.

69% "I thought you hated my company? Tsk Clara, don't get obsessed withnow" He murmured then winked atbefore walking away and I let out a sigh as soon as he disappeared from my sight.

He was right, I was getting obsessed with him. I wanted him near all the tand I hated the feeling.

"Ughh! Why am I falling in love with him? This is all your fault" I muttered as I blamed my wolf but I knew this wasn't just her but the both of us. What had I expected? That I won't fall in love with someone like Damon? Except for his unfiltered tongue, he was perfect.

"This isn't good" I told myself befirdleting out a groan,

"I see you are very happy being cozied up with Damon right? Acting ΟΠ like a wife and all. It makes you happy.huh?" happy huh?" I turned to the voice and watched as Alicia walked up towith a sneer on her face. "What do you want now witch of the west?” I uttered as I folded my arms and she glared at me.

"You think you've won right because Damon is showing you a little bit of attention? He does that to all his other sluts and you're no exemption. When he's done, he'll throw you away like the trash you are” She muttered with a smirk and I would be lying if I said her words didn't hit too close to home.

"And you'll still remain irrelevant to him. Always watching him from the side and never an option" I replied smugly and must have struck a I nerve because she nearly popped a vein on her forehead with how hard she was glaring at me. "Distance yourself from him now or I'm going to tell the world that you're just a fake wife and he'll never get the chance to becAlpha King again" She murmured and I frowned.

"You do know if Damon finds out about this threat, you'll get seriously hurt right?" I muttered and she smirked.

"I knew you were going to say that but you won't tell him so he won't find out" She uttered and I raised an eyebrow.

"And what makes you think I won't tell him?” I questioned and she tilted her head.

"Because I know your secret. I know what happened to you. Do you think Damon would still want to touch you when he finds out?" She uttered and my whole body froze.

How did she... even Liam didn't know that because I never told him. I never had the heart to tell him.

"How did you..." I trailed off as I stared at her in shock but she just grinned menacingly.

"Distance yourself from Damon or not only am I going to tell him but I'll tell everyone and how embarrassing would that be for you?"...
