Chasing The Rejected

-CLARA-

As soon as I walked into Damon’s office which was so huge by the way, the first thing I heard was Luca’s laughter coupled with Damon’s

sneezing.

“I see Delilah got to you again” Luca muttered through laughter and Damon let out a sarcastic laugh.

“I’ll shove my foot down your throat if you continue laughing” Damon threatened and that immediately shut Luca up. I was tempted to ask about Delilah and his other sibling but Damon didn’t seem like he was in the mood so I just quietly stood by the door.

“Why are you standing there? Do I have to pull the seat out for you, princess?” Damon uttered sarcastically and I rolled my eyes before walking towards his table and taking a seat.

at me with the words RULES TO SURVIVE glaring back at me.

He immediately threw a file at

“What is this?” I questioned and Damon furrowed his brow before turning to Luca who was standing next to the table.

“Is she blind?” He questioned and Luca shrugged but I could see he was trying his best not to laugh which made me sigh.

I decided to ignore them as I opened up the file and read through them.

“Do not fall in love? Why is there such a rule?” I questioned as I turned to him and he raised his chin in a boastful manner.

“Every woman tends to fall in love with me so I’m just making sure you won’t be one of them because I have no interest in being with you” He uttered and I scoffed. I didn’t want him either.

“That rule applies to you as well” I muttered and he scoffed.

“I can’t even seem to like you,” He muttered and I glared at him then took a deep breath to calm myself down.

“You are allowed to sleep with anyone you want or bring in any girl you want?” I questioned and he nodded.

“Do you have a problem with that?”

“No, just don’t do anything in front of me and I hope this applies to me as well because I have needs” I utterly as an anger I had never felt before surged through me. I knew the marriage was out of convenience but having women over was a sign of degrading on my part.

“No” He uttered and I turned to him with wide eyes.

“No? What do you mean no?” I questioned.

“That rule doesn’t apply to you. You can be with whoever you want but if you ever bring another man to my house, I’ll decapitate him with my bare hands” Damon threatened and I huffed.

“Then you’re not allowed to bring any girl here either” I murmured and he tilted his head before scoffing.

“This is my house, you’re a guest here and therefore you have no say” He muttered and I suddenly grew angry.

“Then there’s no f**g need

walk out the door.

“Sit down, w

we are not done” He uttered and I rolled my eyes without turning to him.

“I’m done” I muttered and was just about to turn the door knob when someone yanked me from behind and slammed me against the wall

A gasp escaped my lips as I stared at Damon with wide eyes.

“No one walks out on me and lives to see the next day, Clara. Don’t push me to be harsh on you” He muttered so coldly that a chill ran down my spine but I still kept a defiant look on my face.

“Okay Alpha. Are we done?” I muttered formally and something flashed in his eyes before he pulled away from me.

“No, we have to talk about the wedding and you have to finish that file of rules” He uttered and I furrowed my eyebrows.

“We are already married, right? What wedding?” I questioned and he rolled his eyes.

“The one you almost drowned yourself last night’over” He uttered and my eyes widened.

“I was just joking. We don’t have to go,I don’t want to go I muttered as I followed behind Damon as he walked back to his desk.

“Too bad, we are going. I was given an invitation, I have to go and you have to come with his chair.

me as my wife” Damon uttered as he sat back on

*You don’t have to do anything, you’re the Alpha King’s son” I uttered and he grinned.

“True but I’d like to watch you suffer as you watched your dear ex mate marry his fated. Sounds like a dream” He muttered and I frowned.

“I’m not going.” I uttered.

“As a matter of fact, you have to. Despite my other reason, Liam is being stubborn and hasn’t rejected you yet thus his mark is still on your neck” Damon uttered and my eyes widened. I had totally forgotten about Liam’s mark on me.

“That mark is going to cause a problem if my parents see it. My father was too busy drilling you last night to notice but there’s absolutely no reason he wouldn’t notice it soon and that’s going to be a problem. Liam has to reject you” He uttered and my frown deepened.

“But he’s getting married and he’ll take Veronica as his mate. Wouldn’t that make mine disappear?” I uttered and Damon snickered.

“How dumb are you? An Alpha can mark as many

as he wants. He has to verbally reject you,” He uttered and my

“What if he doesn’t reject me, what then?” I questioned and he tilted his head.

“You have to make him reject you but if you can’t, then I’ll kill him” Damon uttered and my eyes widened in shock.

“You wouldn’t dare” i muttered through clenched teeth.

“He would” Luca spoke up and Damon leaned back on his seat as he tapped his pen on the desk.

frown deepened.

*You better come up with a plan to make him reject yo

you. You’re dismissed and carry the rules with you. Read every sentence because I’m not lenient to those who break my rules. I won’t regard you as my wife then” He muttered then turned to the book in front of him and I clenched my list.

Without saying another word, I ran out of the office and towards my room. The truth was I wasn’t ready to face Liam and Veronica. I wasn’t ready to see how in love they were with one another. I just wanted to move on with my life.

I banged the door behind me then plopped down on my bed as I cried my eyes out of my pillow. I only stopped crying when I heard my phone ring.

I sniffled as I reached out for it and furrowed my eyebrows when I saw the unknown number on the screen. I contemplated not picking up but then the person called a second time.

I pressed the phone to my ear as soon as I picked up and immediately heard the other person suck in his breath..Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“My Clara, I’ve missed you” His voice sounded out and I froze with my eyes wide. Liam!…
