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

-CLARA-

"Don't call me that. Why are you here?" I questioned as I stared at him.

"Can't I come see my sister in law? My my my, you look beautiful in that dress" He complimented and I frowned. There was something odd about him,I just couldn't explain it.

"Aurora is not your friend, peaches. The sooner you realize that, the better for you" My eyes widened at his words. There was no smirk on his face and the seriousness in his eyes reminded me of Damon.

I didn't think Dimitri was capable of being serious.

"Why do you say that?" I questioned and he stared at me for a while before he smirked, that playfulness returning back to his eyes.

“As much as I'd like to stay here and chat with you, if your husband sees me here, I'm dead meat and I don't really feel like dying now so see you later, peaches" He uttered and before I could say anything, he walked out of the room while I just stood there staring at the door.

That was... weird. Now that I thought of it, Aurora's reaction to Dimitri was weirder but I just couldn't explain it.

My thoughts were suddenly interrupted when Damon walked into the room.

"Sorry I kept you waiting. I just want everything to be perfect" He said as he walked up to me and placed a kiss on my lips.

"It's nothing. Are we leaving now?" I questioned and he was about to say something when he glanced around the room.

"Aurora and Dimitri were here?" He questioned and my eyes widened. I didn't think he'd be able to sense them.

Before I could reply, Delilah walked into the room.

"Come on, everything is ready" She squealed and I smiled then took in her outfit. She was wearing a beautiful light pink gown that flowed down to her ankle. She looked beautiful and I was sure Luca wouldn't be able to keep his eyes off her.

"Let's go?" Damon uttered as he outstretched his hand towards me and I smiled before walking out of the room with him.

Damon and I were hand in hand as we walked towards the stage. Everyone's eyes were on us and even his mother managed to be there. She smiled at me and I smiled back.

From the corner of my eye, I saw Dimitri and he flashed me a smile before turning to Aurora who was staring at me with anger and envy in her eyes.

I turned away from the crowd and took a deep breath as Damon and I stood face to face under the full moon.

"Don't be nervous, okay? Keep your eyes on me" He murmured while drawing assuring circles at the back of my palm and I smiled at him.

The ceremony wasn't as heinous as I thought it would be. As a matter of fact, all I had to do was repeat some words, drink from a chalice and swear an oath to be a good and just Luna of the pack.

After that, Damon had to renew my mark as he finally stepped and although I felt that was too intimate for everyone to see, it was tradition.

He pulled me closer and sunk his fangs into my neck and I tried my best not to let my body react to it. After I had calmed down, I bit down on his neck as well and I felt his body tense up underneath my fingers which made me smile.

At least, I wasn't the only one affected.

"I, Alpha Damon Donovan proclaim my wife, Clara Donovan as my Luna and future Queen Luna. Cheers!" Damon announced and everyone cheered in response.

"My Luna" He murmured as he caressed my face and I smiled before wrapping my arms around his waist.

"Can we go back home? I want to spend the night with you" I told him and his eyes immediately darkened with desire.

"Let's greet everyone quickly and then we can leave, okay?" He told me and I sighed but nodded.

We came down from the stage and his parents congratulated us first.

"Congratulations Clara" His father greeted with a smile then his mother grabbed my hand and smiled up at me.

"I'm happy to call you my daughter in

law and my successor as Queen Luna. I know you and Damon are going to make your own legacy" She murmured and I couldn't help the tears that gathered in my eyes.

Damon's mother and I had grown closer because I was treating her sickness and despite all our differences, she was like a mother figure to me and her words meant a lot to me.

"Come on mother, don't make my wife cry" Damon said as he pulled me to him and wiped away the tears that had slid down my cheeks with his thumb.

"Oh I didn't mean to. I'm just happy. Your father and I always thought you were going to end up single and would have to rule the kingdom all by yourself" His mother admitted and his father nodded in agreement.

"That was my plan but this little devil had to come into my life and ruin all my plans" Damon joked and I rolled my eyes.

"You love me" I stated and he chuckled.

"I do" He replied then placed a kiss on my cheek.

"Congratulations on becoming Luna,

1

Clara" We all turned towards the voice and frowned when I saw Aurora. Fortunately, she wasn't、 wearing the white dress anymore and was wearing black this time which I found odd.

"Thank you" I replied, trying my best to hide the hostility in my voice.

"And you two look good together" She added then turned to Damon with a slight smile.

I frowned as I took in her appearance. Why did she suddenly seem so pale? Even her lips were turning white.

I was about to ask her if she was okay when her eyes rolled to the back of her head and she fell down. Damon made a move to help her but then stopped himself.

Everyone around immediately began to gather to see what was going on while some murmured to themselves.

“Luca, take her to the hospital now" Damon instructed and Luca nodded before walking over and carrying Aurora in his arms then running away.

I stared at them till they disappeared and couldn't help but think that it was another one of her schemes. Why did she suddenly faint and what was she up to?

I was about to turn away when my eyes landed on Dimitri. He was staring at Luca as he carried Aurora away.

As if sensing my stare, he turned to me and we held each other stare for some seconds before he smirked and walked away.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

Something was definitely wrong. I had a feeling that Aurora's and Dimitri's sudden appearance wasn't a coincidence.

I needed to find time to have a conversation with Dimitri as soon as possible. I needed to know if they were in cahoots with one another and if they were, I needed to find a way to get rid of them.

I was done running away, if I was going to protect my relationship with Damon then I needed to be strong and put everyone in their place...
