Chasing The Rejected Luna's Heart (Clara and Liam)

-CLARA-

After lunch, Damon had to leave to get everything ready for my ceremony. I had thought it was going to be postponed because of everything that was happening but luckily, it wasn't.

He drove me over to Delilah's house before leaving and Delilah and I have been searching for an outfit that I could wear.

Apparently, I was supposed to wear a white silk gown because it signifies being reborn but I didn't own a silk dress while Delilah owned thousands of silk dresses but not a white one.

"Ughhh! This is so frustrating. Damon had asked me to shop for a dress for you but I had been so busy with Luca that I had forgotten. He's going to kill me❞ Delilah mumbled as she paced around the room while I sat down on the bed watching her.

"Calm down, maybe we can hurriedly run to the shop and get something" I suggested and she glanced at the clock before letting out a sigh.

"Damon would already be here before we get back. He's coming to pick you up in an hour and half and oh!" She suddenly exclaimed as her eyes widened.

"What is it?" I questioned curiously and she squealed.

"Wait here, I know where to get a gown from. Don't move an inch okay?" Before I could reply, she ran out of the room and I sighed before glancing around.

The room was a mess so I decided to clean up while I waited for her.

Just as I was about to hang some of the clothes back in the closet, something glittering caught my eye. I should have ignored it but my curiosity was piqued.

I walked over to the drawer and as soon as I saw what it was, I let out a gasp. I knew this bracelet, it was the one Liam's father had given to his mother on their last anniversary together. She never took it off, not even when she was taking her bath.

I picked up the bracelet and I frowned. It was exactly the same and plus, it had their initials on it. What was going on here?

I grabbed the bracelet then went back to the room and sat on the bed and waited for Delilah to get back. I needed to know why this was with her. A few minutes later, she came back breathing heavily with a silk short gown in hand.

"Oh goddess, I almost got caught by Damon. Anyway, my mother let you borrow her silk white dress but we have to return it in one piece though so try to be extra careful with it, okay? Get up and go have a shower while I prepare everything" She uttered as she placed the gown on the bed.

"Why do you have this?" I questioned as I pulled out the bracelet and showed it to her. Her eyes widened slightly then she gasped.

“Oh goddess, I had totally forgotten about her!" She exclaimed and I frowned.

"What are you talking about? Forgotten about who?" I questioned and she bit her lower lip.

"Why don't we talk about this later? Damon will soon get here and..."

"Now Delilah. What is going on?" I questioned and she let out a sigh before telling me everything and I gasped. So Liam's mother has been in the dungeon since then? She was probably dead by now.

"With everything going on, we forgot about her but it doesn't matter anyway, we wanted her dead in the first place" Delilah mumbled and I glared at her.

"I can't believe this," I muttered. Yes, Liam's mother and I never got along and despite what she did, I'd rather never have anything else to do with that family but if she was dead... Liam was never going to let it go.

I didn't speak to Delilah after that and I knew they had done it for me but still.

She still talked to me like nothing was wrong though and informed me that her aunt had sent Alicia away to live with their distant cousin and that piqued my interest.

By the time she was done dressing me up, I looked like a whole different person which was always the case when Delilah dressed me up.

I stood up and glanced at myself in the mirror in awe. It was so surprising that the gown fit just right and goddess, it was so ethereal. Even though I wasn't talking to Delilah, I couldn't help but commend her on what she had done to me.

She dismissed herself to go get ready and in those few minutes, Damon arrived and I wanted to be mad at him but goddess, when I laid my eyes on him, all that anger disappeared.

"You look like a goddess, Clara" He called out as I walked down the stairs to meet him.

"You don't look so bad yourself" I replied as he walked up to me and it took all my will power to turn my head away when he tried to kiss me.

"Is something wrong?" He questioned and I turned to glare at him.

"What did you do to Liam's mother?" I questioned and realization dawned on him.

"Clara I..."

"We'll talk about it later. I don't want to ruin my mood. Are we leaving?" I questioned and he stared at me for a while then sighed before nodding. "Let's go. The moon will soon be full, you have to be ready" He murmured then grabbed my hand and I wanted to yank my hand out but that would be too much so I let him lead me towards the car while I used that opportunity to study him.

This has to be the first time I was seeing Damon in all white. The shirt was kind of see-through as I could see his tattoos underneath the shirt.

He opened the car door for me and I got in before he rounded the car and got in too.

"Has everyone arrived?" I questioned as the driver drove towards the venue.

"Not everyone came but it was last minute so it's understandable" He informed me and I nodded slowly then we went quiet.

"I never forgot about her in the

dungeon if that's what you think. I had one of my men watch over her because she can't die unless she has apologized to you. I just didn't tell you because of everything going on" He revealed and I frowned.

"Has Liam tried to contact you?" I questioned and he nodded.

"Yes but I ignored him" He told me and I sighed. I knew Damon was far more stronger than Liam but that was his mother. Liam loved his mother more than anything.

"After the ceremony, I'd like to see her," I said and he immediately nodded.From NôvelDrama.Org.

"Okay. Now stop frowning and give me a kiss" He murmured then pulled me closer and placed a kiss on my cheek and I sighed before placing a kiss on his lips. I was weak against him.

We got to the venue and my nerves began to eat me up when I saw how many people were there. This wasn't everyone? Goddess!

Damon suddenly grabbed my hand and when I turned to him, he had an assuring smile on his face.

"You shouldn't be nervous when you look this beautiful, sweetheart" He uttered and I smiled at him before taking a deep breath.

"I didn't expect so many people" I admitted and he pulled me closer.

"Just keep your eyes on me and only me" He murmured then placed a kiss on my cheek and I instantly felt better.

We got out of the car and he walked me into a little room.

"Wait here, okay? I'll be back when it starts. Don't be nervous, okay?" He said then placed a kiss on my forehead and I nodded then watched as he walked away before letting out a sigh.

I glanced around and luckily, there was red wine available so I just poured a little for myself and was about to drink it when Aurora walked into the room and a frown appeared on my face when I saw her wearing a white gown.

"You must be feeling very happy,

right? I remember when Damon had promised to make me his Luna once. We had gotten everything ready just like this but it hadn't worked out because Dimitri sabotaged it. I hope you don't mind me wearing white, I wanted to réminisce on that day" She uttered while staring at me with innocent eyes but behind that innocence was a witch and I was done being nice to her.

I walked towards her and poured the red wine on her gown.

She jumped back with a gasp and then turned to glare at me.

"You..."

"You must take me as a fool but I assure you that you don't want to mess with me. I've tried being nice. to you but you are not appreciating it so I'm done. Stay away from Damon or I'll show you how wicked I can be" I threatened then flashed her a fake smile and her eyes blazed with anger.

She reached for the bottle of wine and was about to throw it at me when someone grabbed onto the bottle.

"You wouldn't want to do that, Aurora" My eyes widened when Dimitri appeared behind her. She immediately let go of the bottle then turned to him

with wide eyes while he just stared at her with disinterest.

"Get out" He ordered her and she pursed her lips then glared at me before running away.

He dropped the wine bottle then turned to me with a smirk.

"Who knew you had a backbone, peaches"...
