Chasing The Rejected

Chapter 49 68% -DAMON- "Madam Clara fainted yesterday" Luca reported and I paused, my pen dangling over the documents I was signing as I turned to him.

"What?" "The men I had placed to watch her said she had stood in the rain for sminutes when you left" Luca reported and I clenched my fist.

"They hadn't thought to cover her with an umbrella earlier?" I questioned and he sighed.

The maids covered her with an umbrella and took her inside sminutes later. Before she fainted, she had asked them not to take her to the hospital Luca revealed and I frowned.

"Why?" asked and he stared atfor a while before letting out a sigh.

"She didn't want you finding out" He replied and I scoffed. So she was willing to risk her health just so she didn't have to seeagain? "When she woke up, they tried convincing her to go to the hospital but she re..." "That's enough. I don't want to hear anymore about her" i muttered, shutting him up and he frowned.

"Aren't you going to see how she's doing?" He questioned and I tilted my head at him.

"Why?" "Because she's your wife” He replied and I scoffed. She made it pretty clear yesterday that she wanted nothing to do withand I was ready to return the senergy.

I didn't reply to Luca and after sminutes, he got the message and left.

For the next few weeks, I threw myself in work, for the company and for the pack. I was grateful I had a lot to do so I didn't have to think of Clara that much during the day but during the night, she was all I could think about.

Heck I couldn't even remember all the times I jerked off by just remembering her smell, her touch, her kisses, her moans. I wasn't proud of it but there was nothing I could do.

1 followed sof my colleagues to a bar to try and lay off ssteam and maybe finally be able to take my mind off Clara but every female that cneardisgusted me. I couldn't seem to digest the idea of touching another woman other than Clara and it was killing me.

I was a man, I needed to get laid but the only woman my body craved didn't want me.

Soon after, I stopped forcing myself to go to the clubs and just drowned myself with tons of work.

I even traveled out of the country for a business meeting in the east and despite the fact I was the one who promised not to contact Clára unless it was necessary, I couldn't even count how many times I almost dialed her number dr sent her a text.

My parents and sister weren't making it any easier for me. My father wouldn't get off my back on how I needed an heir and I needed to make Clara my Luna immediately while my mother just wantedto bring Clara back and felt like I was being a horrible husband.

Ever since Delilah cback, she had been on my case and even packed her bags to go live with Clara for a while after finding out she was sick and I didn't go and visit her.

How do I tell them that I wasn't at fault? It was hard fortoo. My life was slowly going back to the way it was before Clara and I met and 1/3 11:42 Tue, 2 Jul Chapter 49 didn't know why I hated it. I didn't know how it felt without Clara in my life before but now that I knew I just couldn't go back to my old life.

I let out a sigh as I placed my tea cup on the table and turned away from the great view outside my room, I was on another business trip in Paris and I had a clear view of the Eiffel tower from my room window and even from here, I could see couples giggling and chatting as they walked around. Paris was the city of love for a reason and I couldn't help but wish...

I internally slapped myself because I could finish that thought. I needed to stop thinking of her.

"Alpha, the meeting starts in 20 mins. We need to leave" Luca's voice sounded from the other side of the door and I sighed before sluggishly getting up from the Chair.

I wore my suit, carried my bag and phone before walking out of the room.

Luca immediately took everything from my hand and handed it to the guards before tellingabout my schedule for today and I pretty much zoned out. It was great that I had a lot to do but I was tired and needed to rest.

"What about the Alpha Leader of the west? Are we meeting him today?" I suddenly asked Luca and he nodded slowly.

"That's where w we are headed to now sir. I just said...anyway we have a meeting with the Alpha Leader first then we have a meeting with the Alpha of this country. He wants to strike a deal with you" Luca uttered and I nodded slowly.

A guard opened the four forand I climbed in at the stLuca got into the driver seat.

"We are headed to the meeting spot now, Alpha" He reported before starting the car and at that minute, my phone rang I considered ignoring it till I saw the caller id and I froze. Clara? Clara was calling me? Why? I contemplated ignoring it to see if she would call again and when the ringing stopped, I instantly began to regret it. What if she didn't call back? What if....

The phone began ringing again and this time, I didn't hesitate to pick up.

I didn't say anything into the phone but I could hear her soft breathing and a few other voices in the background. She must be at work.

"What do you..." I paused my sentence as my eyes widened. She was crying. Why was she crying? "Clara? Are you okay?" I questioned and couldn't keep the concern out of my v voice, I saw Luca glance briefly atthrough the rear view mirror but my main focus was on the call.

"I... I don't know" She murmured then sniffled and I frowned.

What happened? Weruh again by those girls? I..."

"I miss you Damon. I can't take it anymore, I miss you" She revealed and I instantly, froze while my heart thumped loudly. "What?" I questioned in shock and she sighed.

*This was a mistake, forget I said anything, Goodbye Damon..." "Don't you dare end this call and I mean it, Clara" I threatened and we both went silent for a while.

"What do you want, Clara?" I questioned softly and I heard her take a deep breath.

П 11:42 Tue, 2 Jul 68% "Say it or I'll never know what you want I urged when I saw she was hesitating.

When she still wasn't saying anything I sighed.

"Bye Cla...

want you, Damon. I want you to cback to me" She revealed and different emotions erupted in my body at that moment.

"Wait for me, I'm coming" I muttered before ending the call and turning to Luca.

"Tum the car around and head to the airport now. Tell them to get the jet ready immediately" I murmured and Luca sighed. "But sir, this meeting...

"My wife is more important and I need to get to her as soon as m possible. She wantsi murmured and those words alone gavea jittery feeling in my stomach. -going back to my wife...
