Chasing The Rejected

-CLARA-

Hearing my grow, Damon immediately detached himself from the girl a

and turned to me with guilt in his eyes like he had done something

I just smiled at him then turned back to the girl who was glancing between us with a frown on her face.

“What are you doing here Alicia?” Delilah was the one who asked.

“I came back for Damon but it seems he has moved on” She murmured and as soon as she said that, Her eyes rolled to the back of her

head and she stumbled on her feetNôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Damon was last on his and was able to catch her before she fell to the ground.

“Get the doctor, Luca” He ordered, then carried Alicia in his arms and took her to one of the empty rooms downstairs.

I was about to follow them into the room but Delilah pulled me aside.

“What are you doing?” I questioned and the sighed.

Trou know who she is right? She’s the girl my brothers fought over” She pointed and I rolled my eyes. Obviously I had figured that part out.

“And I questioned, not able to keep the irritation out of my voice.

“She’s obsessed with Damon so you should be careful around her. She seems nice but personally, I think she’s a b**h” She muttered.

“And that’s why i need to be in there with them” i muttered before yanking my hand out of her grip and walking into the room.

The doctor came in after me and did

I did a check up on her. Meanwhile, I made sure to hold onto Damon’s hand arm tightly and he must have noticed my growing possessiveness because he reached down and placed a kiss on my lips.

“I love you” He murmured and I smiled before saying it back.

The doctor said Alicia was fine and must have fainted due to exhaustion.

“Aren’t we going on our date anymore?” I questioned and before Damon could say a word, Alicia weakly called out his name.

“Damon” She murmured and he turned towards her and I was happy he was still holding onto me.

“Why did you come back here?” He questioned in his usual cold tone and she frowned.

“I thought you’d be happy to see me because I’m very happy to see you even though you have another woman by your side” She murmured and i frowned.

She’s not just any woman. This is Clara, my wife and mate” He told her and a proud smile appeared on my face while she had a shocked txpression on tien

“Wide? you marned her?” She questioned and be rolled his eyes

“Why are you back here?” He asked again and she sighed.

“I caught a deadly disease, Damon and I’ve looked everywhere for the perfect herbs to use but the disease keeps coming back because can’t find the night lærbs because the erare but your father has all the rare herbs I could think of so I came here to concoct medicine for

myself” She uttered and I suddenly felt bad for judging her.

She just came here to heal herself.

“You do know everyone thinks you’re dead right? How did you even get in here?” Damon questioned.

“I felt bad for running away knowing I was treating your mother so I sent a letter to your father explaining everything to him. Why do you think he let your brother go so easily? I knew I was going to be back so I didn’t want any bad blood between me and him. As for everyone else, well they can think whatever they want” She murmured and we all just stared at her.

Me for one didn’t know how to react to her arrival. Even though Damon told me he never loved her, I just couldn’t shake off the fact that she had once been his best friend, his confider. My heart wrenched with jealousy but I tried not to let it show.

my father knew of your arrival?” Damon questioned and she nodded.

“He wanted to take me to the pack house but I wanted to see you first. You still look as handsome as ever” She murmured and my fingers tightened around his.

“Give her a room here to sleep for the night but find her a house tomorrow, she can’t stay here” He ordered and she frowned.

“But why? We used to stay here together all the time in the past She murmured and I frowned. I didn’t know if she was saying that just to rile me up but if she was, it was definitely working.

“Well I’m married now and this is my matrimonial home. Rest now, tomorrow we’ll talk” He muttered then took my hand and walked out of the room despite her calling out for him.

As soon as we walked out of the room, he turned to me and grabbed his hand.

“I’m sorry Clara, we were supposed to be on a date.” He murmured and I smiled slightly.

“No worries, we can always go next time I murmured and he sighed before placing a kiss on my lips.

“We’ll still start planning the wedding tomorrow okay? Her being here doesn’t change anything. You know that right?” He questioned and I nodded. He pulled me into his arms and 1 let out a contented sigh.

After discussing a few things with Luca, Damon and I went back up to our room to freshen up. I was pretty upset we didn’t get to go on our date anymore and I guess Damon noticed because he wouldn’t stop hovering around me and placing random kisses on my face.

He pulled me into bed and I placed my head on his chest, listening to his heart beat.

“You don’t have to be worried about Alicia. She’s nice and she knows I’m with you so she’s going to back off, okay? Even if she doesn’t, I’m your husband and nothing is going to change that” He murmured and I smiled as he placed a kiss on my lips.

His words s gave me little reassurance but that soon faded

because when I woke up the next morning, Damon wasn’t by my side.
