Chasing The Rejected

Chapter 71 -DAMON- My father's punch landed on my face before I could even register it. I staggered a little but was able to stand my ground.

"You are ruining everything I ever worked forl How dare you attack the south without my fucking permission?!" He thundered and I sighed as I massaged my cheek.

"I don't need your permission to have my revenge" I murmured and he growled.

"Before being your father, I am the Alpha King and what you have done is unacceptable and all for what?!" He yelled and I turned to him with a glare.

"They tried to have my wife killed and my unborn child died in the fucking process and you're askingwhy I did it?" I questioned and he frowned.

"The entire south didn't attack your wife, Damon. You could have handled the lake view pack and..." "Well your ways of handling matters aren't exactly the way I would handle matters. To me, the entire south went againstand that's why I did what I did” I murmured and he scoffed in disbelief before running his fingers through his hair.

"You don't understand the severity of your actions, Damon. Everyone already hates you and you're giving them more reasons to" He uttered and I shrugged.

"I never wanted them to like me, I want them to fearand it's working. They need to know that hurting people close tois not an option. It was the only way" I muttered and he shook his head.

"It wasn't the only way and you know it. You're just looking for any fucking reason to kill" He uttered and I rolled my eyes.

avou are never going to let r past go, are you?" I questioned.

"Of course not if you keep doing shit like this. Do you know what everyone is saying? Do you know the amount of letters I received? Everyone is afraid the death Viper is coming back and no one is in support of you becoming Alpha King. You should be trying to gain followers, not enemies" My father explained and I sighed.

"This is the only way I know how to handle things like this so pardonif my ways aren't like yours. I do not regret my actions and if any of them cafter Clara again, I won't just attack that region but all wolves would be held accountable" I muttered threateningly and he stared atfor a while before letting out a scoff "Is this how you expect to becAlpha King? You're acting unstable, Damon" He pointed out.

"I am feared, Father. If you look closely, you'd see that people respectmore than they respect you and have you ever asked yourself why? Because I'm not as lenient as you are. This is my method and you're not going to tellhow I should react" I muttered while staring into his eyes intently and he frowned before shaking his head.

"You need to understand that there's a difference between hatred and fear. Yes, they might fear you but when that hatred builds up and surpasses that fear, you'll be cornered by everyone and eventually be defeated. Think of Clara when you do stupid stuff like this, don't you think you're putting her in more danger this way?" He questioned and I frowned. I never really thought of it that way.

"They should try coming for her again and I'll show her just how much of a killer Lam" I muttered and he sighed defeatedly.

"I'm not getting through to you anytsoon. As the Alpha King, what you have done is a great offense and you have to be punished for it unless I won't be just king. You'll be sent to the Abyss tomorrow and will have to stay there for a week” He ordered and my eyes widened 11:54 Tue, 2 Jul » M Chapter 71 "What? Fuck no, I can't leave Clara" I muttered.

64% "You should have thought of that before attacking the south. You have to pay for your actions and I hope your tthere will be used wisely. Reflect on your actions. Dismiss" He muttered then walked back to his seat while I glared at him with my fist clenched.

"I need to be with Clara" I reasoned but he just ignoredand wavedaway.

Seeing I wasn't getting through to him, I grunted before stomping my way out of the office.

I stomped my way angrily out of my parents mansion and saw my mother from the corner of my eye but she didn't bother coming close to me. Probably because she could see how angry I was.

As soon as I got out of the house, I froze when I saw Clara sitting out on the stairs all alone.

"Clara, what are you doing here?" I questioned as I rushed up to her and immediately took off my suit and placed it on her shoulders.

"I was waiting for you because I was worried" She murmured and I immediately softened. I smiled at her then moved a piece of hair that had fallen over her face behind her car "But it's cold outside and why are you all alone?" I questioned then slowly helped her up.

"I wasn't alone, Aunt Amelia was here a while ago. Are you okay?" She questioned then placed her hand on my cheek and with the frown on her face, her check was probably still bruised from my father's punch.

"Of course I'm okay. Let's go home" I grabbed o onto her hand and led her away before she could say anything.

We got to our mansion and this time, she took the lead and ledup to the room. As soon as we walked in, for sreason my heart raced because tonight was the first twe were going to spend the night together in our room. Why did they makeexcited? "You need to have your bath and while you're doing that, you'll tellwhat all this is all about and you cannot tellnothing" She murmured then dismissed the maids and guards before slowly unbuttoning my shirt.

"It's really nothing, I just had to do what I had to do. Their father was the one who sent someone to kill you so I had him killed" I murmured and she paused before raising up her eyes to stare at my face.

"Really?" She murmured and I frowned.

"Don't tellyou also support the fact that I should have not done what I have not I did I murmured and she sighed En before moving closer.

"That man madelose my unborn child so I do not care if he died or not but you should have given themi tto mourn their father. You should have given them the privilege to have him buried. It isn't fair to them, they did nothing wrong" She murmured and I sighed. Clara was always right "The deed has been done, I can't turn back time" I murmured and she sta "I know but you shirt e stared atfor a while then smiled.

can save that little tip for later? She murmured then placed a kiss on the tip of nose before she continued unbuttoning my "You don't fear me, you don't hate me" I pointed out and she chuckled before shaking her head.

"Why should 17 You're my husband" She murmured and I smiled before grabbing her face and pressing my lips on hers. That was all that mattered 2/3 As long as she didn't hate or fear me, I didn't care what the rest of the world had 1 to say aboutor how they felt. She was all that mattered....
