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

CHAPTER 16

-CLARA- Delilah led me back to the house and on the way there she couldn’t stop talking about how Damon was going to kill her when he found o attacked. I followed her silently from behind knowing fully well that Damon wouldn’t care. I As a matter of fact, he might even laugh in my face. “The first time my brother has ever entrusted a task to me and I couldn’t even do it right” Delilah uttered and I sighed before grabbing her hand and turning her to me. “The wound has healed, I’ll go have a shower and we’ll forget this ever happened. Damon doesn’t have to find out” I murmured and she stared into my eyes. “You won’t tell him?” She questioned softly and I shook my head with a smile. “I won’t” Even if I did, I could guarantee that nothing would happen but I didn’t say that. After a while, Delilah left and I went back to my room to force myself to sleep and was about abruptly woken up some hours later by at knock on my door. 1 let out a groan and checked the time and was taken aback by how longi slept. I let out a sigh before sluggishly climbing out of the bed and was greeted by Lucs’s smiling face as soon as I opened the door. “Good afternoon Mrs Donovan” He greeted me and I rolled my eyes. “You’re back” I uttered and he grinned. “Yes and so is your husband and he’s asking for you” He said and inwardly groaned. What other bombshell could Damon possibly drop on me? Knowing I couldn’t protest, I closed the door behind me and followed behind Luca. I was surprised when we kept walking down the hall and not towards the stairs. Weren’t we going to Damon’s office? We stopped in front of a huge door and Luca knocked twice/

“Alpha, she’s here” My eyes widened as the door suddenly opened up and I gasped at the room. This room was the size of a house! I was almost afraid to walk in because everything looked expensive including the floor! “Come in, Clara” Damon’s voice sounded from the inside and I took a deep breath before walking in. The door was immediately closed by two guards standing by the door and I took my time to glance around in awe before returning my gaze to Damon who was seated at a table with a book in front of him. I got lost staring at him for a while. He exuded a very gracious but deadly Aura and everything about him screamed royalty and expense. “Stop staring at me or I might think you’re starting to fall for for me” Damon uttered as he finally turned to me and I scoffed. “You wish. Your room is amazing by the way” I murmured. 1/3 , “I know” He replied and I rolled my eyes. “Why am I here?” I questioned and Immediately he snapped his fingers, a maid ran out of a room with a dress bag in hand. She placed it on the bed and immediately excused herself while Damon stood up from his chair. “Tomorrow, you and I have to make a public announcement not only to my pack but to the rest of the world. You’ll be wearing that. I’ll have a hairstylist and makeup artist sent to your room tomorrow morning to help you get prepared” He uttered and 1 frowned. “Why hadn’t I picked out the dress myself?” I questioned and he raised an eyebrow. “Because you have the fashion sense of a two year old” He uttered and I gasped. “That’s not true and where are my clothes and things? I’m tired of wearing your clothes and smelling like you” I muttered and his eyes darkened for a second before he cleared his throat All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

“You are never getting your old stuff back. Everything you had will be replaced but for now, you can take more clothes from my closet” He uttered and I huffed. “Can I go now?” I questioned and since he didn’t say anything, I took that as a yes and turned around only to be stormed by his voice. “I heard Alicia attacked you” He uttered. I turned around and gasped at how close he was. How had I not heard him move? “It was nothing, she…” Before I could complete my sentence, he grabbed my chin and started inspecting my body. For some reason, his actions gave me a weird feeling in my stomach. “How dare she touch what’s mine? It seems I need to remind everyone about who the f**k I am” He murmured and a chill ran down my spine as he began caressing my face. We stayed in that position for a while and I watched as his eyes trailed down to my lips and I subconsciously bit it. His eyes darkened but like earlier, it immediately disappeared. “Careful, with the way you’re staring at me, I might start to think you want me” I murmured and he scoffed slightly while still staring at my lips as his thumb caressed my cheek. “You are not my type and I’m not attracted to you in any way” He murmured and I smirked. “Your joystick is poking my abdomen, Mr Donovan” I murmured and that immediately snapped him out of his trance. He hurriedly moved away as he cleared his throat then I turned away as he adjusted his pants. “My wolf is the one attracted to you, not me” He argued and I rolled my eyes despite the fact that I was feeling hot all over. I could still smell his cologne and I didn’t know if it was because I was wearing his shirt or because of how close he was earlier. “I can handle Alicia by myself so don’t worry about her” I uttered and he scoffed. “If my sister h “Damon… hadn’t come to your rescue, Alicia would have seriously harmed you or worse He muttered and I sighed. *This is a matter of respect, Clara. I don’t go easy on those who blatantly disrespect me. I warned

her not to touch what was mine but she 2/3

disregarded that so I’m going to disregard the fact that she’s my relative and deal with her” He uttered and I sighed, not missing the way him calling me his made me feel a way I couldn’t explain. My wolf was howling with joy within me and it was rubbing off on me. “How about you trust me to put her in her place?” I questioned and raised an eyebrow. “Alicia is a member of the Donovan family, Clara. Despite the fact that she’s not of the same blood, she was trained and raised like us so tell me little devil, how exactly do you expect to put her in her place?” He questioned as he moved closer. “I’ll have you know that I was the head of the warrior wolves back in my ex pack. I’ll challenge her to a duel” I uttered and he chuckled. “Go to bed, Clara” He muttered and was about to turn away when he grabbed my hand. If I lose, I’ll obey all my rules and obey anything you say” I uttered and he tilted his head. “You were going to do so regardless so that doesn’t interest me. I’ll think of something but just know you owe me when you loose” He muttered and I stared at him for a while before nodding. “If I lose and when I win, you’ll grant me three wishes. Deal?” I outstretched my hand towards him and he irked before shaking my hand. “Deal but know that I won’t help you. You’ll have to defeat her with your strength and in my pack, we don’t fight till one is injured, we fight till one is dead. Are you really ready for that?” He questioned and I immediately nodded. “Are you ready to lose a family member?”…
