Chasing The Rejected

-CLARA-

“I’m so sorry, this is my fault. I mistakenly blurted it out when we were talking about you. I feel so bad” I murmured as Delilah cleaned up Luca’s wound.

“Don’t be. I’m happy he found out because we were both scared to tell him. I just wished he wouldn’t have lashed out on Luca like that. Why can’t he understand? Why does he want to control us? Who gave him the right to dictate for us?” Delilah uttered as tears rolled down her cheeks and the guilt I was feeling

doubled in size.

What couldn’t I keep my big mouth shut?

Luca suddenly reached out weakly and wiped away Delilah’s tears.

“Enough now. You don’t need to cry because my wounds will heal in due time” He explained softly but that just made her cry more.

“Why would he do this to you? Why would he give you such an ultimatum?” She questioned and he tried to smile but winced.

“Because he cares about you and me. Damon is a child that doesn’t want to be left alone” Luca explained and she scoffed.

“He has Clara doesn’t he? He spends most of his time with her anyway so what’s the problem?” Delilah asked.

“No one knows what goes on inside that head of his. Maybe you should just try to talk to him” Dimitri told them and Delilah frowned.

“Damon is very stubborn, he wouldn’t want to listen. He always does this” Delilah murmured and Dimitri nodded.

“That may have been the case in the past but now we have someone who can get to him even in this state” Dimitri said then they both slowly turned to me and my eyes widened.

“Me?” I questioned and Dimitri nodded.

“You’re the only one that can get to him so if you want ro make up for telling their secret, you will talk to me. Now if youll excuse me, the prodigal son has got to go” He said before turning around and walking out of the house.

“You don’t have to do this if you don’t want to. I know how difficult my brother can be” Delilah said as she caressed Luca’s cheek.

I walked over to her and grabbed her hand.

“I placed Luca in this mess and I’m going to try my hardest to get through to Damon. It’s either he listened or I divorce him. I’ll give him an ultimatum too” I told her and she giggled and that placed a smile on my face.

“Okay, I’m counting on you” She said and I remained there for a while, helping her out with Luca before returning back home.

I was surprised to see that Damon wasn’t home. He must have gone for the meeting without Luca. Was he really serious about replacing Luca?This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

I freshened up and I fell asleep while waiting for him. I was awoken by Damon’s soft touch as he caressed my face.

“You are mad at me, right?” He questioned softly as I slowly opened my eyes.

“You know what you did was wrong, don’t you?” I asked as I slowly sat up and he sighed.

“I didn’t mean to hit him that hard” He murmured and I sighed before grabbing onto his hand and frowned when I saw the bruise on his knuckles.

“Is this because of how you punched him?” I questioned and he shook his head.

“I might have punched a wall on my way to the meeting. Everyone just kept p**g me off” He revealed and I sighed before getting up from the bed and going to grab a first aid kit from the bathroom.

“There’s no need for that, it will heal” He said as I walked back to him with the kit. One glare from me and he shut his mouth.

“You need to work on your communication skills and your anger issues” I told him as I cleaned his bruise and he scoffed.

“They should have told me”

“How will they tell you when they know you’re going to react that way, Damon? Luca and Delilah are in love, they have been in love for a very long time now but Luca pushed his feelings aside because he was putting your feelings before his” I informed him and he frowned.

“How do you know so much?” He questioned and I rolled my eyes.

“Because unlike you, I’m actually very approachable. You should listen to them before you lash out. If you keep behaving this way, no one is ever going to come to you for anything and you won’t like that” I said to him.

“I would actually…”

“Damon” I called out his name with his scolding tone and he chuckled before pulling me onto his lap.

I finished bandaging his fingers before resting my head on his chest.

“I don’t want what happened to you to happen to either of them” He revealed and I froze.

“They are not fated mates, Clara. What if Luca finds his fated mate one day and dumps my sister?” He questioned and I couldn’t help but smile. So all this time, he was just worried about them?

I pulled away slightly then twisted my body to face him before grabbing onto his face.

“Not everyone’s story will be like mine, Damon. Give them the benefit of doubt” I murmured and he frowned.

“The mate bond is very strong, Clara. Even if they try to fight it…”

“They are old enough to decide for themselves, you don’t have to worry about them. Yes, the mate bond is strong but true love is stronger. Just talk this out with them, okay? And don’t yell or try to fight when they’re trying to speak okay?” I told him and he smiled before nodding then placed a kiss on my lips.

“I never said I was worried but I’ll do whatever you say my little devil” He

murmured and Trolled my eyes with a smile playing on my lips. He suddenly lifted me up and placed me on the bed before laying down next to me.

Talking to him was actually easier than I expected. I thought he was going to continue being stubborn. Everyday, I find out just how much he has changed.

“Why don’t I fill that womb with my sperm so you give me babies?” He questioned as he climbed on top of me and I gasped as my eyes widened.

“Damon!”…
