Chasing The Rejected

Chapter 20 -CLARA- 73% "And not only did he let them demean me, I found out..." "He shares his women with them. I've heard this story five times, Clara. It's been a week now, wouldn't you move on?" Aunt Amelia uttered through the phone and I huffed.

"No, because he's a bastard and to think he still hasn't apologized. I don't even want his apology, he can stick it up his ass for all I care" | muttered then sighed.

Ever since that day, Damon and I hardly saw eye to eye except for the occasional dinners with his parents but after that, we'd go out separate ways without saying a word to one another and I would be lying if I say I wasn't affected by it because I was.

"Enough of that, you're coming to the wedding right?" Aunt Amelia questioned and I sighed.

"No Aunt, I don't think I can watch Liam get married to someone else. That will be too much" I murmured and she sighed.

"Please dear? I miss you and I really want to see you. If it makes you feel any better, Liam and Veronica have been having problems ever since you left" Aunt Amelia uttered and my eyes widened slightly.

"Really why?" I questioned.

"She's just a pretty face with no brains that's why. She literally cannot do any work and cannot fight either. She's unfit to be Luna and Liam and everyone else is finally seeing her for who she really is. They fight literally everyday and he has moved back into your room" Aunt Amelia informed and I frowned.

*But they are getting married in two days. If they are that unhappy with each other then..." "He still has to marry her, Clara or a great calamity is going to befall the pack" Aunt Amelia explained and I sighed. I was in this mess with Damon because of that stupid superstition.

"I don't know Aunt Amelia, I might..." Just then, there was a knock on my door and my heart instantly did a backflip which was weird.

"Hold on Aunt, it seems I might be getting my apology now, I uttered as I climbed out of the bed.

"Couldn't stay away h... Luca?" I questioned with wide eyes as soon as I opened the door and it was Damon. Luca let out a chuckle before bowing his head.

"Good day Madam, I'm sorry for disappointing you, were you expecting someone else?" He questioned with a knowing look on his face and I cleared my throat.

"Good day. Why are you here?" I questioned. Luca snapped his fingers and two maids walked into my room holding different shopping bags.

"What is...

"This is your outfit for the wedding of Liam and Veronica. If you need any other thing then please letknow" Luca uttered and i frowned.

Chapter 20 "I'm not going anywhere" I muttered and he nodded.

73% "Damon is in his study, you can tell him that" Luca uttered and I glared at him. He excused himself and I sighed before closing the door behind me.

I glanced down at the bags and scoffed. He couldn't even bring it tohimself. What did I even expect? My stomach rumbled and I immediately went to have my bath so I could go down for breakfast. I got dressed in a pair of jeans and a crop top that Delilah had lended me.

Damon had refused to givemy things and buyclothes so Delilah lendedsof hers because she said she was tired offlashing her my butt.

After getting dressed, I immediately went down for breakfast and instantly paused when I found Damon seated by the table with his legs crossed and a book in hand.

He hadn't even acknowledged my presence and that hurt my feelings more than it should.

I huffed and was about to walk away when he spoke, "Where are you going?" He questioned and I huffed.

"Anywhere you are not" I muttered.

"Clara, stay and eat” He ordered just as my fingers wrapped around the door knob and I sighed. He used his Alpha tone onso I had no other choice than to oblige.

I slowly turned around and glared at him before sitting down at the far end of the table.

ay a word to one another even when the malds brought the food in.

We didn't say a Why was he suddenly here? I have been eating breakfast and lunch alone for the past week.

"Passthe turkey" Damon uttered as he turned toand I scoffed. There were maids around, why was he staring at me? "Oh like e you passed your women around? Are you going to passaround too?" I mocked and he suddenly slammed his fist on the table.

"Everyone get out except you Clara" He muttered just as I was about to stand up.

The maids and butlers immediately scurried off and I was left with Damon.

| He pushed his chair backwards and walked towardsbut I didn't look at him, I looked anywhere but at him.

"Look at me, Clara" He muttered and I shook my head.

"I don't want...." I gasped mid sentence as he pulledup from the chair and slammed my bodyn against the wall roughly and even though that was super aggressive, I could almost feel the moan threatening to escape my throat especially when he pressed his body against mine. "What is your problem, Clara?" Damon whispered and I had to force my brain to focus on the matter at hand.

"You are a bastard and to think I was beginning to believe you weren't so bad but you give out your women to your rick misogynistic friends to fuck huh? That's a barbaric act and you're a fucking piece of shit" I muttered and he stared atfor a while before leaning close to -34 Mon, I JUI EI GB.

"I never claimed to be a good person, Clara. I'm very very bad man and I've done much worse than have my rich misogynistic friends sleep with the women fuck. The women I fuck are all sluts so why can't my colleagues have a taste of them? If you turn out to be a slut as well then they'll taste you too" He muttered and my whole body froze. Every other feeling I was feeling immediately disappeared and was replaced with anger and repulse.

I pushed him away with all my strength and slapped him hard across the face.

"I wish we had never met at the party and I curse the day you were born to be my mate" I muttered through clenched teeth and then he turned to me, his face and eyes void of any emotion so I couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

"The feeling is mutual" He muttered before letting go ofand walking out of the dining room.

I clenched my fist as I stood there for a while before taking a deep breath. Was this the man that was meant to love and care formy whole life? Then I guess I was never meant to be loved and cared for.

Why was my life so pitiful?....
