Chasing The Rejected

Chapter 70 -CLARA- I missed him so much! Damon left last night and we talked the next morning on the phone but I've been trying his number for the past four hours and he wasn't picking up. I was told I shouldn't worry because he was busy and I wasn't worried. My husband could take care of himself but I missed him too much and just wanted to hear his voice.

I tried his number again but it just rang to voicemail.

"Ughh this is so stupid" I muttered as I fell back on the bed. I stared up at the ceiling for a while and couldn't help but think of Damon.

"want this to be real" His voice echoed in my head and I grinned. I had never expected that he was the one that was going to suggest that, I thought it was going to bebut like always, he was full of surprises.

"Okay get up, no more sulking" Delilah uttered as she walked into the room.

"I'm not sulking. Has Damon reached out to you?" I questioned as I turned to her and she shook her head.

"Of course not but Luca has and he said they'll soon be back. They have accomplished what they went to do" She murmured as she walked over to the bed and sat down.

"Damon said he had a war to win, what did he mean by that?" questioned and she made a zipping motion across her lips.

* can't tell you anything, you can ask him yourself" She muttered and i glared at her before letting o out a sigh.

"Leaveto sulk, I don't have that strength to leave this room" I murmured and she went quiet for a while. immediately regretted it when my whole body ached as "Thave a crush on Luca" She hurriedly said and I gasped then hurriedly sat up and in a consequence. "Are you okay?" Delilah okay?" Delilah questioned as she moved closer to helpsit up.

"You like Luca?" I questioned as I stared at her with wide eyes and she sighed.

"Yeah, I thought it was pretty obvious" She uttered and I shook my head. It wasn't obvious at all "Why haven't you made a move then if you like him?” I questioned and she groaned.

"I've tried several times but he either brushes it off or tellsstraight to my face that he doesn't seethat way and seeslike a small sister but I know he has ssort of feelings for me" She murmured and I could hear the genuine hurt in her voice.

Delilah and Luca? They were two polar opposite. He was cool while she was loud. That was a good combo though.

"Then why do you think he's holding back?" I questioned and she scoffed.

"Why else? It's because of Damon. I'm sure Damon made him promise not to dateand Luca's loyalty lies with Damon and I get that but I want him so much. Luca is everything a man should be. It was very easy to fall in love with him. Trust me, I've tried dating other people to forget him, I've even tried searching for my máte just so I could get rid of these feelings but I just can't. My feelings for him and genuine, I love him Clara" She revealed and my eyes widened. She loved him? "If you truly love him and you feel like he has feelings for you then you shouldn't give up on him. Luca is indeed a good him are hard to see these days" I murmured and she nodded.

1/3 Buy and guys like "I wasn't planning on giving up in the first place. Man it feels so good to finally tell someone. My parents won't minddating Luca. After Chapter 70 all, he's going to becthe Alpha king's beta but I don't want Damon finding out. I don't know what he'll do to Luca. I don't want Luca getting in trouble because of me" She uttered then let out a sigh and I placed my hand on her shoulder.

"I don't think Damon would ever want to get in the way of yours and Luca's happiness. He cares about both of you too much to do that but if it makes you feel any better, I can sneakily ask him. He won't suspect a thing, don't worry" I murmured and she grinned.

"That would be perfect, thank you" She uttered and I smiled at her.

"Alpha Damon has arrived!" We suddenly heard someone announce from outside and my eyes widened. He was back? He was really back?! Without thinking, I jumped out of bed and ignored Delilah who was yelling atfrom behind yo be careful. I hadn't totally healed yet but at that moment, I couldn't feel any pain. I was just so excited to see Damon.

I got outside of the mansion and stood in front of the door as I watched my perfect husband climb out of his car. Our eyes immediately met and the wife smile that appeared on his face warmed my heart.

He opened his arms wide a forehead then my lips.

and I didn't even hesitate. I ran towards him and he envelopedin his embrace before placing a kiss on my see you missed me” He pointed out with a smile as he caressed my face.

"Yes, I missed you a whole lot. You didn't pick my y calls I murmured with a pout.

"I'm sorry, I was busy but you were all I could think about. I couldn't wait till I got hto you. How are you feeling, better?" He questioned and I shook my head.

"No, because you left me.

Don't you know the only way I can heal faster is if my mate is close to me?" I murmured and he chuckled before running his nose against mine.

"You are acting cting too cute, little devil. I don't think I can take it" He murmured and I didn't know why his words turnedon but it did and I could feel how wet I was down there.

"What do I do with the intakes, Alpha?" I turned towards the voice and saw Luca standing beside three boys that were handcuffed and held down by a guard and a girl who seemed to have worn herself out by crying. They all looked to be in the sage range ase and Damon, "Who are they?" I questioned as I turned back to Damon.

"Oh I forgot to introduce them. What's your name, girl?" He questioned but the girl didn't say anything and just kept staring at the ground.

"Her nis Gwen" The one who seemed the most collected out of all of them spoke and the anger in his voice and eyes scared me. What has Damon done to them?

"Gwen is going to be your personal maid from now on. You can do with her as you please while these three men are going to be your personal bodyguards. Your life is their priority and their lives are in your hands" He murmured and I frowned before turning to them. "But we have enough maids and bodyguards" 1 uttered and he sighed.

"I heard about what he maids and bodyguards I place to serve you did after what happened between us and I never want that to happen again. This time, their loyalty will be to you, not me. They hateso I doubt they'll ever be loyal to me" He muttered nonchalantly and I drowned. "What did you do to them? Who are they?" I questioned and he shook his head.

"They ar them are nobodies, at least not anymore. Get them settled in and dressed, Luca" He uttered and Luca nodded his head before leading away.

"I spared their life and not only that, they get to work under someone as amazing as you and to me, thatm seems more like a blessing doesn't it He tried to make light of the whole situation but the looks on their faces suggested otherwise but Damon didn't seem like he was going to tell me. "Damon..." "You should be happy that I didn't kill them, I wanted to but I didn't because of you" He murmured while caressing my face with his thumb. I let out a sigh and was about to say something when we heard a loud growl that shook the ground.

Damon wrapped his arms around my waist and pulledcloser and we both stared at his raging father as he stomped his way towards us, I don't think I've ever seen the Alpha King this Angry before.

The power was so overwhelming that I had no other choice but to bow my head and almost even fell to my knees The Alpha King was unbelievably powerful.

"Damon, what have you done?!"...
