Chasing The Rejected

| Chapter 7 -CLARA- I will marry you?! Why did I fucking say that? I groaned slightly as I led Damon up to my room. I had only said that out of anger. I wanted to prove a point to Veronica and I wanted to make Liam jealous. The shocked and pale look on Veronica's face had made it worth it but Liam had just stared back atwith a frown. I couldn't read what he was thinking.

Tlet out a yelp as I suddenly tripped back on a step and went flying backwards but Damon immediately caughtwith his palm pressed firmly against my back and I hated the way his touch sent a sweet sensation through my body.

"If I didn't need you, I would have let you fall. Stop thinking with that small brain of yours and focus on walking" He muttered before pushingback up and I clenched my fist before turning to him with a frown.

"You can at least pretend to not be a jerk” I murmured and he smirked.

my wolf f howl in excitement and I "I can never pretend to be what I'm not, baby" He murmured and that single word of endearment made my almost wanted to gag. It wasn't like he wasn't handsome.

I could even go as far and say he was the most handsman I had ever seen with his tousled black hair and deep gray eyes and his chiseled jawline and toned olive skin. He was literally perfection and he knew that and that was the problem.

fl "Are you done undressingin your head?" His deep voice suddenly snappedout of my trance and I turned to stare at him with wide eyes as my face heated with embarrassment.

"Keep dreaming" I muttered before hurriedly turning away from him as I marched towards my room. We got to my room and as I opened the door, I heard a disgusted scoff from Damon.

"Jeez, you have been living like an animal” He muttered and I turned to him with a frown.

"What do you mean by that?" I questioned.

"Why is this room as small as my Dog's house?" He muttered and my eyes widened.

"That's a lie! This is the biggest room in this pack. This is the Alpha's room... or at least it was till he moved out to be with his mate" I spat at the word mate and Damon snickered "Yikes" He muttered and I turned to him with a frown.

"You know what? I don't even want to get married again. You can leave" I murmured and was about to turn away but he grabbed my hand and pulled him towards him.

My hand landed on his chest and I gasped with my eyes wide as I noticed how close our bodies were. We stared into each other's eyes as my wolf howled and purred inside me.

Damon suddenly pushedaway and I ended up bumping into the shelf behind me, knocking a few things down.

1/3 *Are you crazy? I could have gotten seriously hurt." I uttered.

11:28 Mon, 1 Jul G B Chapter 7 "But you didn't. Pack your things. We leave in 30 minutes "He murmured and I frowned before crossing my arms stubbornly.

"I don't want to get married to you anymore" I murmured and he sighed before slowly walking towardsand I gulped.

74% Even though I hated him, my wolf didn't and him being so close towas messing with her brain and my body. Curse the mate bond! "Look, my father won't letbecAlpha King if I don't get married to you and claimas my mate. You know about the moon goddess' curse right?" He questioned and I nodded slowly.

"If we don't get married, your pack will be doomed" I murmured and he shook his head.

"All wolves will be doomed because I'm the successor of the crown. I don't believe in superstitions but are you willing to risk it?" He uttered and I frowned as I thought over his words.

"Why should I care what happens to wolves? Is not like I have any good memories with them" I murmured as a feeling I hated the most settled at the pit of my stomach..

Damon suddenly grabbed my shoulder, forcingto stare at him.

"Don't you care about the unborn pups and the little innocent ones?" He murmured and my frown deepened. "Do you?" I asked quietly.

"No, I care about no one but myself" He murmured as he let go ofand I scoffed.

"That isn't something to be proud of" I murmured and he tilted his head.

"The sooner you learn that feeling any sort of emotions for others weighs you down, the better for you. I've learnt that and now, I'm invincible. Are you in or not?" He questioned and I sighed.

"How long do we have to be married? I don't want to be married to you for too long" I murmured and he scoffed.

"The feeling is mutual, Love. We have to be married as long as the old man is still alive but by my calculations, he should have a year or two left but if he keeps butting into my business, he may have just smonths left” He muttered the last sentence to himself but I heard him loud and clear which madegasp. "That's your father you're talking about. You shouldn't be wishing for his death" I murmured and he rolled his eyes.

"He's old, he's bound to die. Pack up your stuff and let's leave now" Hen uttered and I sighed before turning to angi my closet but just as I was about when Liam barged into the room. "Clara, we need to talk" Liam uttered and I heard Damon groan before he massaged his temples.

"How dare you barge in here when I'm busy with my mate?" Damonm uttered as he stalked towards Liam and always thought Liam was tall but next to Damon, he looked small. "I'm sorry but I need to speak with her. You can't leave me, Clara. You promised and..." "You broke that promise first and I have given you the freedom you wanted" I murmured and he shook his head frantically before walking towardsand grabbing my hand.

Liam fell to the ground with a groan then coughed out blood before turning to Damon with wide eyes. "Touch my mate again and your entire linéage will be sorry. Trust me, I don't make empty threats"....
