Chasing The Rejected

Chapter 89 X -CLARA- I stared down at my plate with furrowed eyebrows. I had no idea what I was looking at right now.

Noticing my confusion, Damon let out a chuckle, "Those are oysters with a side of caviar. It's very popular here" He uttered and I grimaced. Oysters? Ught I hated them.

"Oh" Was all I said as I slowly picked up my fork. I didn't want to seem uncultured in front of Damon but by the look on his face, I guess he could already see through me.

"You don't have to force yourself to eat. We can have the waiter bring another food for you" He murmured and I frowned, "Then wait another hour? I'm hungry now so I have to eat it I murmured and was just about to pick up one of the oysters when Damon swapped out plates, placing his carbonara in front ofinstead.

"Is that better?" He questioned and I was almost salivating because of how good his food looked.

"Are you sure you're okay with that? ... I paused my sentence when he picked up the fork and twirled the pasta around.

"Letfeed you" He murmured with the fork right in front of my mouth. I glanced at him briefly before opening my mouth and as soon as the food touched my taste buds, I couldn't stop the moan that escaped my throat. "This is so good” i murmured, then turned to him and froze when I saw the desire in his eyes.

"You're making it terribly hard to keep my dick in my pants, love" He murmured and the tone of his voice madeshiver.

I opened my mouth to say something when we suddenly heard gunshots from outside the restaurant. Damon immediately stood up and pulled out a gun I didn't even know he had with him.

"What's going on?" I questioned as fear slowly slipped into me.

"Stay by my side no matter what. Grab your bag" Damon ordered, all the playfulness on his face earlier had immediately disappeared. He grabbed onto my hand and slowly we made our way out of the restaurant.

His guards ran towards us and shielded us with their bodies as we walked towards the car.

"Where is Leo?" Damon questioned as soon as we got to the car.

"He went after them, Alpha" "One of them reported earning a nod from Damon.

"Take my wife himmediately" Damon ordered and I turned to him with wide eyes and grabbed his hand before he could walk away- eyes "Where are you going? Aren't you going hwith me?" I questioned.

"Someone is trying! to testi my patience and won't be able to rest until I've had their heads. Go home, I'll be back before you know it" He uttered and i shook my head "It's dangerous, Damon," I murmured and he smirked.

"You should be worried about them, but me. Take her hnow" He ordered then yanked his hand out of my grip and ran away while the guards shovedinto the car.

Chapter 39 61% "No, he needs to chwith met Go get my husband" I yelled at the guards and they all seemed confused on what to do.

"Don't worry ma'am, the Alpha will be alright. Right now, your safety is our priority and we have to take you himmediately" One of them uttered and immediately the car started.

Seeking I couldn't convince them to takeback to Damon, I gave up and let them driveback home. I couldn't help but pray to the moon goddess to keep my husband sale.

The night has been going well, does something always have to go wrong? We got to the mansion and I saw Delilah and Aunt Amelia waiting forat the door.

As soon as they saw my car, they rushed towardsand huggedas soon as I climbed out.

"Thank Goddess you're safe. Damon called Luca earlier and alerted him of the situation. Luca has gone to meet him. My father has currently ordered a total lock down on the pack. We were worried something had happened to you" Delilah murmured and I couldn't help but cry at that moment.

"Awwn Clara, what's the problem?" Aunt Amelia questioned as she heldin her arms.

"From one problem to another. The night was going so well and..." "Enough of that, Clara. It's a good thing they attacked tonight. At least Damon's plan worked" She uttered and her eyes instantly widened with guilt when she realized what she had said "Plan? What plan?" I questioned and she bit her lip.

"Clara...

"What plan Delilah?" I questioned again and she sighed.

"The date was a pl widened.

a plan. Damon knew they were targeting you so he set up this whole date just to them" She revealed and my eyes So everything has just been a plan. He didn't do it because he wanted to get to knowbetter? All along, he was usingas bait? Without saying anything, I pulled away from them and walked towards the house.

"Clara..." Delilah began but I held up my h my hand to stop her from talking "I need to be alone for now" I murmured. The door opened up and I walked into the house.

I paused in my steps and took a shaky breath before wiping away my tears furiously. That bastard was just playing with my feelings and to think I was this close to confessing how I felt about him.

"You're such a fool, Clara," I murmured as i climbed up the stairs. I quickly got out of my clothes, had a shower and changed into a nightgown before going over to the little boy's room. I had neglected him all day because of Damon. I was thankful that Damon had placed nanny to watch over him though.

As soon as the little boy saw me, he began to my arms around him.

ugh and clap his hands and I couldn't help myself from running towards him and wrapping The I dismissed the nanny then turned to look at him. He seemed well taken care of and that was a relief.

"I'm sorry ry for leaving you alone today, I'll never do it again" i murmured then spent all my twith the little boy till he fell asleep and i 12:02 Tue, 2 Jul | M Chapter 89 .61% immediately climbed into bed with him.

After a while, I felt a hand on my shoulder and I didn't need to be told twice to know who that was.

"Hey, why are you sleeping here?" Damon's soft voice sounded out and I reached over and slapped his hand away.

"So I'm guessing your plan worked huh?" I questioned and he went silent for a while before letting out a sigh. "It's not like that, Clara. Í.......” "Save it, I'm not interested and don't you dare wake this little boy up" I murmured and suddenly shrieked when Damon pulledout of bed and threwover his shoulders like I weighed nothing.

I pounded my fist on his back while trying my best not to make any sound. He tookout of the room and kept walking down the hall, straight to our room.

"Putdown, Damon. I'm not going in there with you. Putdown!" I screamed, knowing we were far away from the little boy's room.

Damon let out a sigh then placedon the floor, I immediately tried walking away but he grabbed onto my hand and pulledto him.

"Yes I admit it that the date was more of a plan to lure them out but it was also a means forto get to know You better Clara I wanted to spend | Wot to know twith you and we had a lot of fun, didn't we? We were happy earlier, weren't we?" He murmured and I frowned before yanking my hand out of his grip. "Goodnight, Damon" I muttered then turned around and was about to walk away when he yelled; "I love you Clara!" He yelled and I froze with my eyes wide.

"I wanted to tell you that tonight, show you that and make you feel how much I love you tonight. Dlove you, Clara and I have for a while now. Please forgive me, I should have included you in the plan, I'm sorry" He murmured and I clenched my fist as I held back my tears. I wasn't going to fall for this again. I wasn't going to get heart broken again, I couldn't trust his words, for all I know it might be another plan. If Damon broke my heart, I wouldn't be able to bear it.

"Well I don't love you" I murmured and was about to walk away when I heard a loud thud, behindand e when I turned around, Damon was laying down on the floor unconscious and only then did I notice the blood stain on the ground, I immediately ran towards him and held him in my arms and screamed out in horror when I saw the big slash on his back.

I "Damon!" I screamed his nbut he wasn't moving anymore. I tried lifting him up but he weighed a ton. "Someone help!" I screamed loudly as I tapped on his face and immediately regretted what I had said to him.

In no time, Luca rushed towards us and helped Damon up from the ground. He carried him into the room, placed him on the bed and began calling the doctor.

I immediately went to hold Damon's hand as I cried my eyes out. I didn't mean a word I sa id. I loved him, I loved him so much that it hury "I love you Damon so you can't leave me, okay?”.
