Chasing The Rejected

Chapter 17 -DAMON- I sat down on my chair and thought over what Clara had said.

"Are you ready ready to lose a family member?" Her last words echoed in my head and I chuckled. That little devil had a back bone.

"Are you really going to let her fight Alicia? Alicia is almost at par with Delilah for the strongest female here" Luca uttered as he stood in front of me.

"She wants to do it so let her do it" I muttered then grabbed my book as Luca let out a scoff.

"So you don't care if she gets injured by Alicia? Or worse, killed?” Luca questioned and I slowly turned to him.

"it Alicia kills Clara then the purpose I married and brought her here for is Vein. I'll stop it when it gets too heated. I want to use this as a means to test her strength" I murmured and Luca raised an eyebrow.

"Are you sure you won't stop it because you care?" Luca uttered then wiggled his eyebrows and I turned to him with a glare.

"Her being out of my life is better for everyone especiallyso no" I muttered and he rolled his eyes.

"Surece, that's why you won't get her new clothes because you enjoy seeing her in yours and having her smell like you, right?" He uttered and fingers clenched on the book.

He was right, I did like seeing her in my clothes and I loved her smelling likebut I'd rather die than admit it. "Get out, I have work to do. Make sure the cars are prepared for tomorrow and everything else I'll need. Gather the men, we are going to need as much guard as we can because we'll be going into human territory" I muttered and he nodded then bowed his head before walking out of the room.

As soon as he was gone, I dropped the book and let out a sigh as i massaged my temples.

"Everyone out now" I muttered and my guards and maids immediately left.

Tomorrow was going to be a very stressful day and I'm going to need enough energy if i was going to be with Clara for the whole day.

I let out a groan as I stood up from the chair and went straight to bed.

My wolf couldn't contain his excitement insideand because of him, I almost disgraced myself in front of Clara earlier.

"You better control yourself you h**d" I muttered and my wolf scoffed in my head.

*You act like you don't want her too" "too" He muttered.

"I don't" I replied and he scoffed.

"Keep telling yourself that. My mate is a fiery little beast, isn't she?" He uttered as I climbed into bed.

"Our mate" I corrected and he chuckled.

.73%2 "I don't... ugh! Goodnight!" I muttered before blocking him out of my head and forcing myself to sleep but even as I slept, Clara was invading my mind and my dreams and I hated it.

I had to becAlpha King soon so I could reject her and finally get rid of her before I start feeling something for her.

"What is taking her so long?" I muttered as I paced around below the stairs. I had been been ready for almost two hours now and Clara hadn't still cdown.

"Give her stime. She's a lady, she has to do her makeup, her hair and all that" Luca muttered and I turned to him with a frown.

"Who suddenly made you an expect of woman? Shut the f**k up and go get her, I don't have tfor this" I muttered and he let out a sigh and was just about to climb up the stairs when Delilah crunning down with a wide grin on her face.

"You won't recognize your wife, Damon. She's absolutely beautiful. Bring her out!" Delilah yelled as she stood besideand I was just about to push her away when I caught sight of Clara and it was like the world instantly froze.

My eyes widened as she cinto view and I took in her appearance as she stood shyly at the top of the stairs.

A guard reached out to help her but I growled at him and before I could stop myself, I rushed towards her and grabbed onto her hand to help her down.

She stared up atwith a questioning gaze and I got lost in her sparkling hazel eyes for a second before I snapped out of it.

"We have to make it believable, remember?" I whispered and she nodded slowly before plastering a smile on her face.

Even though it was probably fake, she looked like a freaking goddess.

"Shall we go down?" She questioned and that's when I noticed how long I had been standing there staring at her.

I cleared my throat and nodded before leading her down while trying my best to ignore the knowing look on Luca's and Delilah's faces.

"You look beautiful sister in law. This white gown hugs you on all the right places and brings out your beautiful tan skin colour. Damon, you like what the make-up artist did you her face huh? I saw the way you were staring at her earlier," Delilah uttered and I turned sharply to her.

"Don't sprout out nonsense and let's **g go" I muttered and Delilah rolled m her eyes before interlocking arms with Clara and leading her away and that was when I noticed Clara's whole back was bare and opened for the whole world to see. "Get a jacket fromroom now" I ordered Luca and he immediately walked away, I walked out of the house and found my family gushing over how beautiful Clara was especially my mother.

My eyes darted toward: Alicia and as soon as she noticed, she looked away with fear evident in her posture.

I ignored her as I walked towards my mother and father.

going t "You both are beauty even more.

to make the cutest babies" My mother gushed and I smiled slightly at how Clara's cheeks turned red, highlighting her 2/3 11:33 Mon, 1 Jul El GB.
