Chasing The Rejected Luna's Heart (Clara and Liam)

-CLARA-

I rolled my eyes when I heard Damon growl for the twentieth time since I started cleaning up Liam's wounds.

"Will you stop that?" I questioned without turning to him and he let out a groan.

"I don't know why you have to be the one to clean him up. There's Amelia, Luca and even the maids here" He grumbled and I just rolled my eyes but said nothing.

"This brings me back to old times" Liam suddenly uttered and I closed my eyes when Damon growled again.

"Okay that's enough, leave him alone or I'm going to beat him up again" Damon uttered as he grabbed onto my arm and pulled me away from Damon. I didn't protest this time because I knew Damon was close to blowing up.

"Look I don't fucking care if you're sick or if you're dying today. I'm sure as hell not going let you stay here with my wife" Damon muttered as he glared down at Liam and I couldn't tell if he glaring back because one of his eyes was swollen shut.

"I heard that Sebastian is targeting Clara now because he knows she's your weakness" Liam suddenly said and everyone went quiet before I turned to Damon who's expression had turned ice cold.

"How do you know that?" Damon questioned and Liam let out a light chuckle.

"How do I know? It's the talk of the town. We werewolves are all involved in this war so news spreads like wildfire. Sebastian wants you dead and there's only one way to tame the ever so magnificent death viper. As a matter of fact, all your enemies are after her and you'll be surprised to know how many packs are against you and want you dead so no one is willing to help you in this fight, you might just be alone" Liam uttered and I frowned. "You all are ungrateful! Do you really think after Sebastian kills him, he won't come after the whole wolf race?!" I questioned as anger began to build up within me.

Damon grabbed onto my hand, making me turn my attention to him. He smiled slightly at me then shook his head, wordlessly calming me down. "Do you know what your husband did to them? He destroyed lives, Clara" Liam uttered and I turned to him with a glare.

"Do you know he can stay here with me and we'll let the rest of you rot in hell? He can but he chooses to save the rest of you" I told him and was this close to clawing out his eyes.

"Clara, that's enough. Don't exchange words with him and I don't need their help to win, okay?" Damon uttered as he held my hand tight.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

"Well luckily for you, I'm on your side. I know that Sebastian is an immortal now and as much as I don't like you, you're the only one that can kill him. Plus, I want to help you protect Clara. I won't let her get caught up in this" He uttered and I could feel Damon getting angry again.

"What happens to Clara shouldn't be any of your business. Besides, she's safe here. Sebastian won't be able to get in❞ Damon uttered and Liam scoffed in response.

"But what if he does get in? The witches are on his side, Damon. Do you really think your buddy Romeo will be able to protect her? He hasn't trained in years and has gotten lazy" Liam uttered.

"So what are you implying, Liam? That you'll stay here and protect my wife?" Damon questioned and he nodded.

"Regardless of what you think of me, I'm one of the strongest Alphas around. My men will train with yours while I stay here and guard your wife" He stated and Damon let out a humorless laugh.

"I'd rather take her back home with me than let you stay here with her" Damon said to him and Liam let out a scoff.

"So you'd rather have her get killed than let me protect her? Shows just how much you love her" Liam retorted angering Damon more. He was about to pounce on Liam when I stood in front of him.

“Go, I can take care of myself" I said to him and he frowned. "Clara..."

"Don't you trust me?" I questioned and he sighed.

"Of course I trust you but..."

"Then trust me to handle myself. Even if he has bad intentions, I will handle him don't want you wasting your time here when you should be handling the situation. You said one week and if you're not over by that time, I'll come find you" I said to him while staring directly into his eyes and he sighed. Content bélongs to

"Why does he have to stay here with you?" He questioned softly and I smiled as I raised my hand to caress his face.

"Because I don't trust him. I don't

want him blabbing out my whereabouts to anyone and making things harder for you so keeping him here is the safest option" I explained and Theard Liam scoff behind me.

"You always see me as the villain" He commented but I totally ignored him and just stared at Damon.

"I'll call you everyday or text you and If I don't get a reply back, I'll come get you" Damon uttered and I nodded.

"I'll be waiting for your call and messages everyday. If I don't get it, I'll come to you. One week, okay?" I murmured and he nodded before wrapping his arms around me tightly.

“One week. I have to leave before the sun comes out" He told me and I sighed.

"Then get going, I'll be okay" I muttered even though we both knew I was just lying. How the hell was I going to be okay when I knew he was going out there to fight for his life?

"Let's get going Luca" He said as he pulled away. I followed him out of the house with our hands intertwined as I walked him towards the car. "Make sure you eat and get enough rest. Do not worry about me too much, okay?" He said to me and I nodded but said nothing because I knew if I opened my mouth, I would cry.

Damon pressed his lips against mine and let his kiss linger. I hated that way this kiss felt like a goodbye kiss.

I grabbed onto his shirt and he let out a chuckle before pulling away.

"See you later, my love" He murmured then one last kiss on my forehead before getting into the car.

I don't know how long I stood there till Aunt Amelia brought out a blanket and placed it on my shoulder.

"Are you okay?" She questioned and I shook my head as tears rolled down my cheeks.

He was gone...
